Now there's some good news Easy fix; adjust cable routing, spring tension and apply some oil. Couldn't agree more. Add to that complex programming, then being locked out of the ability to read said programming and a small bug quickly becomes a major issue. Agree on both points; "it...

I've only been here a few days and already the landscape of this Forum is in view. Basically; anyone Not wanting every advanced 21st century electronic gadget known to the modern world on the new Ford Bronco - they are instantly accused of wanting Ford to build a new Bronco, naturally aspirated...

Yes! Yes! Yes! By the time people actually realize what this means in regards to freedom and privacy it will be too late - except for those with older vehicles. However I suspect they 'might' outlaw the operation of older vehicles under the guise of "gross polluters". This is a "time game"...

I'll try to remember to look for you on the trail in late 2021. I'm sure you'll be easy to spot; New Bronco with cheap lift and fender flares, wheel'n with windows up, air conditioning full blast, slamm'n the rap and hot boxing your new rig with a couple blunts.

Screw the major manufacturers. If they don't make their software readable and within reason programmable I don't have to buy their POS. It's millennials like yourself who keep them in business by just going along to get along and continuing to buy whatever they want you to buy. If people stood...

You still don't understand. No offense but I'm guessing you're a millennial. What we build, we build right - regardless of cost (within reason). A food processing plant cannot afford to go down leaving workers idle and food spoiling in the lines, not to mention the clean up cost. Does any car...

Lol, aren't you totally clueless! FYI; been a union electrician all my life. The last half designing / building automated systems and programming the PLC's for the food processing industry. I always carry my own scan gauge on any electronically controlled vehicle I'm driving Everyone should -...

Remember? I had one; moved it to the floor and installed a Hurst.

I already own a 72 Bronco and a 51 Willys. Ya'll may like electronically controlled plastic, I don't Ya'll may like your vehicle telling you how to drive, I don't Ya'll may like like being monitored every second you drive, I don't Ya'll may like being subject to limp mode whenever your vehicle...

Absolutely right; just for a second there is ZERO oil pressure. 90% of engine metal on metal wear occurs at starting. But....these new engines are throw-a-ways anyways. I don't know many that bother rebuilding them. Easier to just get another.

I'm the one deluded and paranoid? You don't know "History" Since when has something being illegal ever stopped a Government? No, not every vehicle made in the last ten years can experience this. Only the ones capable of connecting wireless. For what's it's worth: my 2005 TJ was bricked in the...

Ummm.... the ONLY reason I am opposed to Independent Suspension is because VERY few car makers do it right. And Ford Trucks are notoriously known for doing it Crappy. So forgive me for expressing a concern Ford may indeed build another crappy IFS and cover it with fake advertising internet hype...

Yeah, that's great when all that stuff is working. But when it's not - it's the biggest nightmare ever, especially when it's an intermittent problem putting you into limp mode. What I mean by snitching me out is right now when I get my truck smogged they can tell it's no longer programmed for...

Don't get me wrong; I'm not against "Tech" as long as I have the ability to overide, adjust or delete. Start with stout mechanical components and with a little creativity I can overcome the Tech barriers - unless they are constantly ratting me out via wireless - then I'm out. I need my vehicles...

Imagine if you will: Ford never discontinued the 1st Gen Bronco, but like Jeep continued to improve and modify approximately the same existing style and platform about every ten years like the CJ5 - CJ7 - YJ - TJ - JK - JL. What kind of Bronco would we have today? For example Jeep dropped the...

I'll wave back at anybody who's waving with more than one finger.

Okay, being the realist; I've wisly given up all hope for a retro 66-77 Bronco. But.....If.....Ford builds something with: Approx 100" wheel base Able to accept 33" to 35" tires +300hp and +300tq Manual trans option 3spd transfer case 1:1, 2.75:1, 4:1 BIG Brakes Stout power steering Solid...

"Average age of a person buying a Mustang, Challenger or Corvette is 50 and for the Wrangler is 49." This ^^^ is why if they build a Bronco for millennials or gen x it will not do as well as if they build it for those 50+ That's some interesting stats. I know around here; most teenagers have...

Here is your map to success with the real future Bronco ~ The 66-77 Bronco was instantly successful and now an Icon for two reasons: 1) It was capable, simple, modular, utilitarian, easy to work on and modify. 2) It had more horsepower, was built stronger and with better quality parts than...
