Just stumbling on this post for the first time. Looks great - actually it looks Factor installed. You did a great job.

Spacers do not change the suspension stiffness. They just move everything up. A preload spacer will make the ride feel stiffer, but a regular spacer will not.

Incorrect - you can switch between 2H and 4H even at highways speeds. It's only to 4L you need Neutral.

This had me interested so I just went out and got some measurements off my '22 Wildtrak (Feb build so it's Hoss 2.0). I got a measurement of 75.4" at the tallest point without the roof rack - vehicle nearly stock, hard top, half tank of gas.

Absolutely agreed - especially considering the tires used in the video were all "E" rated tires, and if I'm not mistaken the Bronco's Sasq tires are C rated, so with a less-stiff sidewall they should flex more. I imagine the practicality of changing/mounting/deflating/measuring tire...

Tinkerer's Adventure did a great YouTube video on this! For anyone reading this who doesn't know of this channel, he's a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for offroading and has a bunch of videos on things like front/rear sway bars, IFS suspension dynamics, UCA functionality and the physics...

UPDATE: The Service Rep did not clearly communicate the issue over the phone. Went and chatted in-person today. Only the right-rear brake brakes were worn. The rear-left and both fronts had plenty of meat on them, only the right-rear was worn. This combined with the Bronco being out of...

In my own research I've been finding the same. Anecdotally, it sounds like Mazda is the worst offender for early rear-brake wear. Several of you have mentioned the same thing regarding all the stability control coming from the rears. I am also taking everyone's great advice and getting a...

This may be the most likely reason. My Bronco had been plagued with issues from the start, and my new Tremor is having it's share of warranty work with only 8,000 km on it.

Never even crossed my mind that the Tech isn't measuring them correctly. That'll be the first thing I do when they reopen tomorrow - waiting on parts anyway.

My Bronco is in for an oil change and the techs are reporting that my rear pads are at only 3mm of thickness left. 8,000 km ago they were at 8 mm. I've only taken the truck off-roading once since my last oil change, any idea how the rear brakes could get so worn, so fast? I could see if I was...

Exactly - and for all we know, $50k to him is like $1k to the rest of the world. My uncle has true F*- you money and he spent more on his vacation house in Mexico than most people will make in their entire lifetimes. Everything is relative.

99% of the time I would agree with you - I have a 2 door and I hate the look of the 4 door, quite ugly. But I put that aside for a Bronco Raptor - they knocked it out of the park with the design of the rugged capability. The Raptor is the only 4 door Bronco I'd consider.

You're a tad late on the buy-and-flip of the Bronco's. The wait is not that long right now, so finding someone willing to spend $20k over MSRP (the amount you'd need to list it to make it worth your while) is unlikely. I'm currently debating selling my current Bronco to pick up a Bronco Raptor...

Honestly, the same reason I enjoy mountain biking. It's just a fun (albeit expensive) hobby. Challenging yourself with bigger and badder terrain (your first time you will think a small rock is scary, by your 4th time you'll have enough confidence to know what the Bronco is truly capable of)...

Yes, unfortunately the Bronco's are well known for throwing rocks and chipping paint. Back when the first Bronco's were coming off the line, some lady became the laughing stock by posting a "The Bronco sucks offroad!" post, which simply detailed how she chipped her paint driving on gravel roads...

Could just be you left lights on? Hopefully you get it sorted. Your post made me think of this song - so hopefully this little bit of humour helps make your day better. Your Mercedes Bronco Raptor won't start Yah that's a crying shame I guess $90k a year buys nothing but complaints!

That's awesome! Have fun with it!

Howdy - wondering if you've had a chance to use your winch yet? How's your setup holding up? I used your tutorial on installing the camera relocation kit, that was very helpful. Thanks

You'll likely just need to get the code cleared that's it, if someone else's code cleared itself then it was based on either a base-km or base-time to auto clear. Had this happen on my Audi lots until I got my own OBD2 reader.
