  1. Wind noise from DV8 Dual Light Pod Drop Mounts

    Pictures please. Are you using the same lights as you did on the OEM accessory location ?
  2. Are Your Automatic Updates On?

    @Fordified1 Accessory mode, center touch screen, Settings, swipe sideways to find & tap Software Updates, top line Automatic Update = toggle off, select Continue at nanny prompt. Also at that same screen, for Recurring Update Schedule, I created a custom schedule for just 2 days a week at 2:00...
  3. Are Your Automatic Updates On?

    Sometimes I flat tow my Bronco, which is already iffy due to wacky electronics. I don’t want an automatic software update to rock the boat while I’m towing, therefore I leave it turned off. Periodically I turn it on, check for updates, then turn it back off again. @Ford I hope you’re...
  4. What are these harnesses for?

    @pakrat I have sound deadening on my to-do list. I even have he materials. But I don’t know how to take those panels off without breaking them. Do you have a good resource for how to remove the interior trim panels ?
  5. Driveshaft Decoupling Device

    @73Corvetteman what are you doing about the front driveshaft?
  6. Help me understand the fuel economics of gasoline containers?

    It is worse than that even. From the Rotopax instructions: ā€œwe recommend venting your Rotopax at least once a day or every 10 degrees in temperature and every 1000 feet in elevation. However, depending on your location and usage, you may need to vent more than once a day, especially in areas...
  7. Help me understand the fuel economics of gasoline containers?

    I’ve done overlanding/off-roading in much of the western USA and I can’t really think of anywhere that is ā€œ200-300 miles away [from a gas station]ā€. But more to your question, the idea is supposing that you’ve done the math and you’ll probably have enough to get out & back; the extra cans are...
  8. MPG-what am I doing wrong?

    You said ā€285/70R17 Falken Rubitrekā€œ on steel wheel. I looked up the specs on those. OMG they must be made of lead, weighing in at 59 pounds (compared to 37 for OEM tire) and stiff load range E (compared to C for SAS Goodyear or P (passenger for stock OBX)). And steel wheels are roughly 5...
  9. Sidewall question

    Way old background info: they’re actually called ā€œpneumatic tiresā€ because the air holds the load. The sidewalls (carcass) don’t hold up the weight - they hold the air pressure inside and that air holds up the weight. This is the 21st century; tire engineer have figured out how to contain...
  10. Found a Locking Fuel Cap

    My local Ford parts desk and I figured out that the Ford Acessories locking gas cap listed for late model mustangs fits all Ford capless tanks. I proved it by using it on my F150 for years, then tested it on my Bronco. In the end though I’ve decided to live without it...

  12. 2021-2026 Bronco RV & Trailer Towing (GVWR / GCWR) Guide From Ford

    @Administrator Thank you! Can I get one for 2023? (Ever since Ford switched to FordPro web content I haven’t been able to access these things easily)
  13. RCI Skid Plates + Roadmaster Base Plates (TOAD) fitment

    Just a helpful fitment detail for those who want aftermarket skid plates, and also want to flat tow their vehicle using tow bar ā€œbase plateā€ brackets, yet are wondering if aftermarket parts from 2 different manufacturers will work together. My bronco is a 4 door OBX 2.7 V6. It came with...
  14. Towing a 1700LB Pop Up Camper?

    @Onestepmore please share a photo of the trailer tongue, including the crank jack, etc. I’ve done a lot of towing. Maybe we can help you brainstorm for the best solution.
  15. Manual sway bar disconnect

    Oh yes @One more upgrade I’m sure it does exactly as you say it does.
  16. Manual sway bar disconnect

    Ok I get it. A soft sway bar (always connected) instead of a stiff sway bar (that you disconnect and reconnect).
  17. Manual sway bar disconnect

    @Hashlak thank you for the honest review.
  18. My soft shackle failure experience šŸ¤• -- The Off-Road Recovery That Almost Killed Me

    My dad who worked in the oilfield taught me a valuable general bit of advice: Do NOT ever suppose that a high energy situation is ā€œsafeā€ - whether that energy is kinetic, electrical, hydraulic, etc. ALWAYS suppose that there WILL be a sudden and catastrophic release of energy. Therefore, it Is...
  19. U-Haul trailer hitch drop

    Iā€˜ve rented & towed a lot of UHaul trailers. Never have they been picky about hitch height. Of course there’s always a first time šŸ˜‚
