I’ve been on a set of black diamond takeoff alloys since spring. My base steelies had been powder coated by a Ford service dept. that marred them up and agreed to make it right. But that finish made it harder to match touch up paint. So they were rusting pretty badly in the seams. I put...

Yep. And then nobody will be able to afford a Bronco because AI took their job. And the whole thing will be moot.

Oh, it means something. But not what we think it does!

How is the gorilla glue holding up?

Last winter. 12 hours in a winter storm from Detroit to Marquette. Would have been 11 hours without the stops to “chisel” ice off the headlights.

@Bdisco - I’m on this list now too. Saw your signature and I can assure you, @Ford didn’t have much more figured out by model year ‘23. Perfect timing, now that the winter road slop is upon us. Not sure which is sloppier, metro Detroit highways or Ford’s QC. Honest to God, this morning was the...

Watching YouTube while you’re driving?

Added to original post as well, but here are a couple photos of the hairline cracks starting on the rear shell. There are more - basically extending across the top/side edge above the rear side windows the entire length of the rear shell.

Thanks. Good to hear that.

🤦

Just gonna stop the “here are the 2 door hard top options…” talk before it snowballs. I’ve been through all the threads. I’m not looking for hard or soft top info. I want to know how much life a MIC has left once it starts cracking.

I’m at 39,xxx miles and since Day 1, I’ve religiously scanned my MIC top for cracking. I’ve had a lot of issues with my Bronco, but have been lucky with my MIC, thus far. Nothing to see until yesterday, when I noticed dozens of hairline cracks on the passenger side above the rear fixed window. A...

We get up that way at least once a year, often to the Marquette area - sometimes Houghton-Hancock. Most recently in February, just to see the beauty of the winter weather. I’ve heard there is a good route between Marquette/Big Bay and L’Anse. And I’m definitely interested in how the road out...

Yeah. That looks like a lot of work and some muddy boots. Not in my non-Sas base. Even with the 33” tires and winch.

Thanks for sharing! For the drive to Keystone Bay, did you need to use lockers? how deep/rutted are the muddy spots?

How Long are you planning to own this vehicle? I won’t be traveling out into the wilderness in our bronco with 150k miles but wouldn’t even bat an eye in our 4runner. The build quality and reliability between the two isn’t even in the same universe. Granted, we aren’t crawling rocks here in the...

How you feel when you see this, is how you’ll feel about the Stroppe (regardless of # of doors) in 20 years…

I’d be nervous too. Unless the off road capability out of the box is your main consideration, you’re going to miss almost everything else about your Land Cruiser.

At the $34k I paid for my ‘23 base, I can lightheartedly admit my Bronco is a fun piece of junk. Drive it to 150k (if the 2.3 goes that far) and either retire it or sell for next to nothing. See ya 100k miles down the road, Toyota. You’ll have your turbo/hybrid powertrains sorted by then and...

x3 on KO3. So far, have had them on dirt/rock trails, dunes, and heavy rain/freeway driving. Reliable in all those conditions. They replaced Falken Wildpeak M/Ts, which were the first mud terrains I had ever used on a truck. Those were much better off road, and I miss them. But the noise after...
