Mine has had noise since I picked it up with 3 miles. Sounds like it has gravel in it until up to operating temp. Have over 17k on it now. Recent change is that when the clutch is pushed in for a few seconds and held, the noise goes away. It's like a throwout bearing going out in an old...

Why... 1. It is a choice between engine and component longevity and saving a few pennies. Every time your starter runs it is wear and tear. I'd rather it last a while and not burn out in the backcountry leaving me stranded at 50,000 miles. Besides, if shutting off your vehicle at lights...

With the manual, you would rarely need to use it anyway since it's always in bada$$ sport mode. Ha! Actually, the shifter is over to the right a bit and it's easy enough to reach the dial.

What size tires are those? 35x12.5R17? Maybe I missed it in the article. I ask as they look like a good with the 2" Old Man Emu lift. Good fit combination.

Anyone here with those wheels have some real world getting muddy experience? Specifically, I'm wondering how well they self clear when heading down the road. Hard to tell if those slots around the rim will hold mud and make tire weights. Does everything fling out of those when heading home...

Exactly. Looks like my driveway that my wife dodges puddles daily in her Subaru. Don't need Off-Roadeo to tell me to go around.

Water Displacement Batch # 40. Commonly known as WD-40. :)

Ha. In our relationships we find flaws after the honeymoon period. Doesn't mean we don't still love them. I can't get to the vehicle to take one right now, but essentially above the rear seat going door to door you'll see an edge of fabric. That is actually glued to the layer above with no...

I'll share my impressions after owning half a year... < rant on> Agreed on the parking brake. Terrible location, especially with a manual trans where you have to lean forward to utilize it often. When you have ranch work and need to get in and out of the vehicle a lot its a pain. I realize...

Any new Bronco is one of the most unattainable and unique vehicles on the planet right now. No need to be embarrassed driving a bone stock base model. Other than custom orders, would dealers even order base models for the lot? More rare! Of course customizing the way you want it is why you...

Wow! Thank you so much for the write up. I've been too lazy to pull things apart and figure this out. Now I have no excuses to do the job... Location of your switch looks great and looks sanitary. For those wondering why the install instructions recommend the console, I can see why they...

Tough decision. I'll give you my 2 cents after owning one since November. It's never the vehicle I NEED to drive but it is the one I WANT to drive. Ford took the utility out of the SUV when they didn't give it a tailgate. Even in my old 4Runner I can drop the tailgate and grab a sheet of...

Drug Mule. Somebody forgot to unpack before the vehicle showed up. Have the local LEO and their drug sniffer canine check it as soon as you take ownership so no surprises on the way home. :)

I appreciate that the logo is covered when the door is closed. While I don't mind recommending my gear and letting people see who made it, I don't like to be a rolling billboard. Product looks well executed.

Same. At first I loved it. Now I can't un-see fish scales. Edit: I still think the truck looks great.

Some of us self insure and self warranty in life. Besides, the drive-line is all that matters. Shouldn't that still be covered?

I learned from Peter Brock of Cobra fame that they would target 220 oil temp when racing to boil the water out of the oil. ECO mode on bronco can close those active shutters, and combined with a little higher rpm driving I can get up to 220 pretty quick (not from a cold start of course, let...

Interesting range. Shows what a big difference tire size, driving habits and speed can make. I have '21, 2.3, 4 door Big Bend soft top, stock street tires (32"?), manual trans, rear locker with the 4.46 gear. Normal day to day not thinking about it I get 17 to 18. It's hard to stay off the...

Thank you. My second biggest pet peeve, right behind people saying 'these ones'.

Wait... what? I could be getting views for that? I have a graveyard of abused vehicles I could have been filming.
