Update on AC failure
Bronco spent 2 days at dealer.
AC condenser failed and drained the system. No damage seen to condenser. Tech said “the core failed”. Was unable to see it. Odd failure if you ask me. But it’s a FORD🤷🏻‍♂️
Well after 6 months and 5k miles of ownership I got to see in person another Heritage (red and white 4d) pass me on the 5 fwy yesterday. Looked good but now that I’ve seen another mine doesn’t feel so unique. Well I guess my bronco felt slighted as it wasn’t unique anymore so the AC decided to...
Dude it’s still the beginning of January! I’m thinking it’s 2023 still🤦🏻‍♂️.
correction blend date 6/23 delivery 7/11/23. My build was early but not that early
It was just more of neat package, came with Eddie Bauer bronco luggage and slightly better interior and exterior/interior color combo. The king ranch is, well used to be a saddlery leather (had an 06 F250 king) that I cleaned and massaged about once a month… way nicer than the Eddie Bauer I had...

I love my Bronco but those are just a couple of things if I had to nitpick for an improvement.
Tires, fuel and brakes are expensive. Also the Bronco handles well for a SUV on 35’s but stopping distance and body roll in an emergency situation are things you consider when others are on the road.
congrats on taking delivery of your HE fellas. I’m 5 months and 5k miles deep. Things been rock solid. The 2.7 is doin just fine. 16.5 mpg, I commute 9 miles to work through town and I average just over 20 on the highway. Run the tires at 32 psi and the wear is very even but the low pressure...
In my jeeps I’ve ran down to 10 psi in snow and 12 in the rocks
35x12.5/15 (TJ) and 37x12.5/17 (4door rubicon)
In my Bronco I’ve gone down to 12 - 15 psi for desert and light trails, no rocks. Will do some snow this year and try 12 psi
I’ve got a 2 door TJ (Jeep) and I love the size and it looks great but for long off-road trips it’s gets small really quick. Also when I used to have a top and doors on it long drives were a bit fatiguing vs my 4 door rubicon (longer wb). I sold the rubicon and got the bronco. For around town...
because the world is beautiful and most of us are forced to live in the confines of a city or the suburbs. Loading up in the 4x4 affords you the opportunity to go and reconnect with the greater world absent of modern society.
man v nature type adventure.
also the community of off road (most my...
It’s all about picking the right line in rocks. Plan your route through obstacles way ahead of time and you can just roll though. My first time on the rubicon I took my TJ on 33’s a 3.5” lift and nothing more. Open front, Dana 35 rear with limited slip and no skids to speak of. My TJ is well...
Coming to the end of 2023 I cannot believe how rare the HE Bronco is. I see more lambos, Ferraris, stupid high end cars around LA and as of yet I’ve seen one HE pulling a trailer on the 101 outta Ventura and one HEL on a trailer in town.
talk about a limited edition. Maybe I should go back to...
