  1. Potential new owner, looking for some advice

    In 2022-23, the differences between a Wildtrack and Badlands were: Wildtrack came standard with 2.7L, HOSS 3, Sasquatch, 4.7 ratio, mid or lux, mod bumper, winch, and wide flares. HOSS 3 gives you the severe duty steering. Badlands had the electronic sway bar disconnect. You had to option up to...
  2. Ripped off by Ford and Off-Roadeo

    @Ford Motor Company Ford Bot You need to do right by @FastDriver . He is out there helping your employees and customers get back to there life. Some one at Off-Rodeo lost perspective on customer service. Time to step in. Don't make us regret how you, Ford, treat a true good guy. If members...
  3. Portable electric impact driver - Who carries one ?

    My 2¢ Check out Torque Test Channel on YouTube. He has a running chart on cordless impact drivers. He recently analyzed Dewalt's DCF870. His other stuff is quite informative. If nothing else, you can call bulls#!% on the less informed. I carry a torque wrench, not an impact driver. That way...
  4. Dealer cut wiring harness and spliced wires?

    I would redo the zip tie. You can move the wire up using the frame holes above and a new zip tie. Easy peasy peace of mind.
  5. I feel like some fighting is in order

    Recall that the return current is smaller in amperage than the initial pull current. Electrons are flying off into heat and mechanical work loss. Since the frame is acting as a ground field (aka bus), any ground wire connected to the frame and battery negative terminal will return current. Over...
  6. I feel like some fighting is in order

    It's all 'bout the amps, ...the amps ... the amps.... the amps. (Meghan Trainer "All About That Bass") :facepalm: This is all really simple, until it's not. But it can be kept simple. The winch runs because it draw a current, measured in amps, from the battery, through the red wire, through...
  7. Off-Roadeo extra $75 insurance to limit liability to $3500... necessary?

    You are not insuring the vehicle. You are insuring yourself against having to tell your spouse you bought a $50,000 shirt and hat. And you have probably pissed away $75 on more stupid things without even blinking an eye. Ask your spouse, she will be glad to point them out to you.
  8. Leather wrapped badlands steering wheel with loose leather

    My Badlands is tight in that location. The steering wheel probably did not get adequately glued at the supplier's assembly location. Unglued leather will become much looser, and possibly cause separation from the bottom spoke, or by the threads, or both. Thus the leather being glued to the...
  9. Socal dealer recommendations

    If you don't know how to buy a car, then nobody is a good dealer. They can see a goober 5 miles away, and turn on the big flashing neon signs. That is why they are called DEALERS, and not automotive charities. Your best deal is only going to happen if you know your numbers before you show up...
  10. Free Wheeling Package Debuts for 2025 Bronco

    Big Ben comes with A/T's. They are showing the Territory RT's. Different tread pattern and sidewall construction.
  11. Mud flap that installs in front of the rear tire?

    Those " tire flaps in front of the tire " are called "spats" if your are searching for them. The are a mixed results addition. You weren't clear on what you were trying to achieve with the spats. Spats create a local low pressure in front of the rear wheel. That helps reduce drag under the...
  12. Blacked Out Bronco Raptor

    Your Raptors-In-Black look great. You guys did nice work. If you haven't, I would ceramic coat them as soon as you can. I have owned 2 black-out Expeditions. 1st one showed everything. After 2 years, it always looked dingy, even right after washing and waxing it. By the 3rd year, I was...
  13. Off-Roadeo Insurance

    No one is thrilled about paying insurance, until they need to use it. By it's nature, it is a bet, a hedge, a gamble against the odds, or in your case, your skills vs. mother nature and a Bronco. Your are not an actuary; any one else's experience is irrelevant. Have you every gone to Vegas...
  14. What Are the Must-Have Features in a Top-Quality Fishing Kayak?

    Okay, I'll bite ... I don't know where you fish, what type of fishing you do, or how experienced you are with a kayak, but a lot of that will determine what kayak is best for your interests. I suggest looking at Kayak Angler. They have a lot of associated forums focused on fishing from a...
  15. Custom or ”Cheap” Jerry Can / Rotopax Mount options?

    Everybody has their own definition of cheap when it comes to money versus looks versus quality. There are a bunch of low cost jerry can frames online. I have seen some on Amazon/eBay as low as $20 - about the same cash as some wood and bungee cords. Also check out the discount Jeep sites...
  16. Wrench set sizes

    16 mm (=0.6299 inches) is just 0.005 inch larger than a 5/8 SAE wrench (=0.625 in). You can probably get away with a 5/8 SAE wrench most of the time. The gap tolerance between a bolt/nut versus the wrench is 0.006 to 0.012 inches. So, within spec. 18 mm (=0.7087 inch) is larger than 11/16 SAE...
  17. Factory Tow package, no tail lights on trailer

    Both the 4-pin and 7-pin connectors have a separate pin that electrifies the trailer light "running" filament/LED. That pin wire runs back to the Bronco's trailer light module, which then runs back to the battery on a fused wire. Start with checking the fuse. [Look it up in the manual - I...
  18. Anyone interested in a 8+ gallon, potable water, drinking & sprayer SYSTEM with electric pump?

    You are competing with 10 gal tanks with a pump that sell for $200. For argument sake let's upgraded to a vane pump, steel strap downs, and a bump spigot - so $350. Maybe skip the custom roto mold and look at a bladder, or at least a seamed tank where only the top mold is custom. And marine...
  19. My Tool Storage Solution

    I thought that kit was all imperial. Do they now sell a metric version? Or is it a combo?
  20. Order timing and constraints on options

    Presuming they still have 2024 allocation, it should be no problem. We are in So Cal also. My son ordered his Badlands, 2.7, Sas with beadlock, hitch, black top, and leather on July 12th. Went into production on Monday, Aug 5. Was originally scheduled Aug 12th. Go for it.
