Was installing a radar detector above the rear view mirror today, had to flip it over in order to connect taps for the RD power. Forgot to flip the mirror back and noticed that the moment I power up the vehicle the mirror is fully dimmed, as if it is the middle of the night. Returning the...
I only need to plug a USB cable in my phone for recharging while I am on a long road trip. But that seems to trigger a switch from wireless to wired AA, which also seems to frequently trigger freezes in AA as the connection is being switched. So want AA to only run wireless and use the cable for...
Decided to see if operating Android Auto only as wired solves the plethora of issues. TLDR - it doesn't. So today I reenabled wireless AA on the vehicle but noticed that my phone does not automatically connect over wifi. Also noticed an additional phone that had appeared on my phone list...

Not sure if this will fix anything for those of us with crappy AA experience. Mine freezes at least 3x/day, and I am yet to find anything that makes it better. Not sure this is a Ford...
Anyone know which of the greater San Diego area Ford dealers are most tolerant of mods when making warranty decisions? No specific need (yet) just gathering information for a need that hopefully never materializes
Just purchased an el cheapo Baofeng UV-9G GMRS radio that works surprisingly well, particularly given its price point. Now the question is how to secure it inside the cabin, within reach of the driver. I mostly offroad alone, so the radio will be used only for the occasional outing with a...
Because if they aren't this Facebook ad that just popped up on my feed is downright unethical. It clearly states "Bronco Hardtops now available", which if not backed up by actual product availability, is likely false advertising and subject to FCC action. Hopefully this is good news for the long...
If you are in SoCal, have a Bronco in near stock condition, and are considering upgrading your shocks you may want to read this

Since my needs are non-demanding I can never bring myself to pay for the brand name lights, and have been using 2nd tier brands (Auxbeam, Nitelight, Lasfit) for the past 10 years with great success. Right now I am planning on putting together a set of backup lights for under $25 with the...

Wondering what a set of low mileage (6kmi) HItachi coilovers areworth?
Swapping the coilovers on my BD with some Billstein 6112s next week. Trying to determine whether to take them back with me from the shop or just give it to them to either junk or use as they see fit. There is certainly no...
On my Bronco it is a buggy as hell. Locks up at least once a day (I typically have only two 20 min commutes), sometimes more.
I have tried running it only wired, only wireless, mixed, nothing makes it better. Not sure if it is a Ford or Google issue. I have seen similar lockups with Chevy...

Anyone used them? Says good for up to a 3 gal tank but I am wary of hanging 25 lbs off a glass panel.
I know what the law says - 70% VLT on sides and nothing more than 4 inches across the top. But... how robustly is this enforced? 70% VLT is probably not worth the cost.
Asking for a friend :D
I have been reading and my head has been spinning: RCI, MetalCloak, Foutz, DV8, BroncBuster, Skyjacker, Valkyrie... the list goes on and on.
The primary design difference seems to be whether they go through the shock bolt or not. Is there a consensus on whether that makes a meaningful...

This has been on a constraint list for at least two years. What exactly will it take for the supply chain "experts" at Ford to figure out how to procure a piece of metal, a few wires, and a few chips. The...
Looking to add a skid plate to cover the plastic transmission pan, as well as protection for those exposed rear lower control arms. Will be going on a Black Diamond with the 2.7.L engine.
Will not be doing rock crawling so I don't expect to drag the underbody too much. Just looking to protect...
