Cost is not the reason. I do it to increase the effective octane rating. It has the added benefit of being a little cheaper than doing a full tank of 93 (e85 is about 2.25-2.50/gal by me as compared to 3.50+ for 93), but again that's not the reason.
I did the Dynamat Dynaliner at the same time - my son (8) and I did the whole thing in about 2-2.5 hours and that included dropping the muffler. Pics of the Dynamat install below.
Have had it installed without the factory heat shield for a few months now - no issues. Have felt the inside after a long drive and it's just warm, not hot at all. I considered trying to modify to keep the factory heat shield but there was not enough clearance on mine with the Borla muffler
I have been running roughly 25-35% e85 in mine (usually 3.5 to 4.5 gallons of e85 on top of 93 for the rest of the fill) for about a year now with no issues. I have a ProCal, no custom tune.
Since this post is here and this is somewhat on topic, I have a '24 non B&O. I assume I also have a dummy sub speaker back there but with no amp and no wiring - is that correct? I'm guessing that if I wanted to install an actual sub I'd need to wire it in with an amp, it's not just plug and...
Totally unscientific, but I've read a bunch of these threads and, understanding that this is an incredibly small sample size versus the total number of Bronco's sold, there does not seem to be any kind of correlation between things like climate, garaging, etc.
So, my sense based on that, is...
These are the 255/85/17s on the stock BD alloys. I lifted (about 2" over stock) with Eibach Protruck coilovers and put a 1" hubcentric spacer on. Mine is not a Sasquatch. Love the setup.
P.S. in doing some research on here others indicated the MTs in that size fit without a lift or spacers but...
I could be wrong but pretty sure I just read an article that indicated shadow black and oxford white are the only non-upcharge colors for job 2. Maybe it's just the website?
Edit: here's the article I read: Color Changes, More Top Options, and Wildtrak’s Return: 2026 Bronco Updates - Bronco...
I have the Magic Box 2.0. Also got it mostly so kids could watch movies in the back. Works reasonably well but sometimes the Bronco absolutely will not link up with it. Not sure if that's a Bronco issue or a Magic Box issue. It also sometimes randomly disconnects, which is frustrating when...
I looked at aftermarket wheels and there were few options that are lightweight. My personal favorites were the RTR Evo 6 in 17" (~23lbs) and someone on here posted recently about a Black Rhino Rapid 17 x 8.5 0 offset wheel that weighed 23 lbs. I don't know how these wheels will hold up to hard...
Nice, thank you for the recs. I'm gonna plan to start with the easy stuff (e.g. Nimblewill) this year since at the moment I don't have a compressor (yet) and have very basic recovery gear. I know that I will get the bug once I do a couple of those. Had a blast at the off rodeo in TN last Feb.
