I don't know your situation, I don't know your kid. I also don't know what components are failing over and over. But I will say this - longevity of a manual transmission is directly related to how it's driven, most of the time. And saying he's ridden dirt bikes and is good with manuals is at...

As others have said, you're not really driving it enough to put much of a recharge back into that battery. You're going to need to get driving it more for longer distances, or put it on a tender...which might be your better bet given your situation. I drive about 30 miles to work, don't take...

Owning an Expedition, and having had a couple 2.7's now (one in an F150 XLT Sport, one in our Bronco), I'm glad it's NOT an option for the Expedition. Despite the weight reduction, that thing is still a heavy tank and gets good use from the (albeit de-tuned) 3.5 available in the lower trims. If...

I have never had it smell like sulfur. It does smell strong, but not like sulfur. I've been playing in various oils most of my life, and come across some smelly stuff, but I wouldn't call gear oil disgusting...just oily.

I'm not sure what's in the Bronco's rear axle, but I have never seen differential fluid that color, nor has it ever smelled like sulfur - and I've been around plenty of axles in my life and worked on more than my fair share. That looks more the color of antifreeze, but unless you have a coolant...

Oh I help, I will call out the police and possibly a wrecker. But it's hard for me to do it myself for a stranger anymore - I've seen far too many stories of people being sued for trying to be a good Samaritan.

Look up what happens when a chain breaks when trying to pull someone out. I would only use chains for low-speed applications where you don't want the strap tightening up and digging in, such as pulling logs around. Chains are dangerous in towing situations, and they're not recommended for...

I'm skipping everyone else's posts to explain this, as has been explained in other threads, so if someone else said it, sorry. The long and short of it is that Ford developed this program (the 6G Bronco) knowing that 4-door rigs would end up being the high volume seller after the first year...

This is very true. Most of my early experience was getting vehicles un-stuck from a half-frozen farm field, because someone drove out to grandpa's fire and got stuck (usually an uncle or a cousin). Got pretty good at it too. But the person on the other end has to be able to drive in the...

Rodents do Satan's work on newer vehicles, because electrical wire coverings are now made with soy (cheaper) and they can smell it. You would think that they'd have come up with an alternative to that, or even gone back, since this has been a significant problem for the last decade or more...but...

Can it pull things out that are bigger than it? Oh absolutely. I have pulled motorhomes and tractors out of ditches with my older trucks. In today's litigious world? The advice of a very basic waiver of liability would be a bare minimum if you're going to do it. Anymore, I won't stop and help...

This is great advice if you're going on a trip and expecting a storm. Worth it to follow it. I still maintain that if you can stay off the freeway, your chances of making it in one piece increase dramatically. When I worked downstate, I would avoid the freeway like the plague when weather got...

I would say plan for extra time if you're going to go, to account for poor roads and poor drivers. As much as I know it's the quickest I'd be tempted to stay off the Turnpike (80/90). Maybe take a US highway instead, lower speeds, less truck traffic (usually). See something a little different too.

It CAN be added, with a combination of hard parts, wiring, and software changes - at least guys have done it on Super Duties over on that forum. Not sure what all would be needed for a Bronco. I'd say it's not impossible, but will take time and cash.

Close, it is power and the right arrow button on the radio controls. Forces a reboot.

SEE? HERE THEY COME!

You know, just by mentioning those ducks, you have just invited the ones who want to start something similar for Broncos to this thread. Thanks for ending a peaceful thread. j/k.

This has been the single biggest gripe people have had when trying to get in/out of ours, for everyone except my son and I. But we're a little more nimble (even if we are the tallest). Most everyone else is so used to reaching UP for a handle instead of FORWARD, and so they're not entirely sure...

Money.

Yeah this is basically all I do if I'm filling from a can or a funnel - make sure there's nothing obvious and send it, the pre-screen and in-line filters should be able to handle it after that.
