If you plan to attach your tow bar directly to recovery points, you likely need to install LOD, or some our brand bumper tie in brackets. The stock horn to bumper attachment is not tow capable
I've flat towed 3 separate times now over 700 miles with no issues. I'm anal about following the published set up process but do record what I'm doing as well as the odometer reading as evidence just in case.. When I tow I don't record any miles on the Bronco odometer. I'm thinking however that...
I just flat towed my 24 BL SaS 2* in the last 3 days approximately 100 miles ea way at 65 mph following the printed instructions in the manual without an issue. I did photo the neutral tow enabled message and the odometer Reading both times. One thing I do in addition after the process is...
Your bumper is definitely different than the modular steel. I shot a(poor) pic of mine from one side. Also a pic that shows only a fingers thickness space between the bumper and bash plate
I'm thinking all but one poster has had to modify the brackets to get them to fit, at least with the modular bumper. Not sure what was different for that person
If you search YouTube for LOD tie in brackets install, you'll find a video of a guy who was rescued in Moab by Matt's Recovery. He speaks about the weakness of the front recovery points on the Bronco. I also asked a mechanic at my local dealer. He had first hand experience with weakness of the...
And my question wasn't designed to create a debate. I just wanted to learn if indeed there was some factual reason why the strength would be different one way or another. I wonder if the gears are cut in such a way that in One direction they pull into each other and in the opposite direction...
A possible learning moment here.
What is the problem with trying to back up a hill? Why would any of the mechanical parts be less robust based on rotation they are turning?
It's exactly as you see it on buckle up. Buttercup. In fact, from what I can see these are exactly the same items that she sells I've only had them installed now for several days so I can't really address anything about how they're holding up. They seem quite functional and I do like the way...
I just installed similar ones but with LED lighting. They seem to be the exact ones sold by buttercup off road made by Lumin8 but I got them on Amazon. A bit tricky to install if you have the hardtop, as I do, as connecting the tiny electrical connections while holding the handles in place took...
Id like to duplicate how and where you mounted your 6 pin plug. How did you get it to mount into the inner elliptical hole so that it sits flush. I tried to fit my Curt 6 pin in that area and it's way too large without cutting out that inner ellipse. We just ordered a Hopkins in case it's...
Thanks... U tube to the rescue. I removed all the screws and instead of prying grabbed both sides at the bottom and it popped right off. Only owned the bronco a week and still a bit shy trying not to damage anything doing mods
I'm trying to remove the front passenger door panel to insert capture nuts where the netting goes. I've looked at the diagrams. Removed the bottom three bolts that hold it in hoping to just squeeze my hand up behind the netting panel. I have Inserted a plastic scraper and start tugging but that...
Agree with you. Have a new Bronco and wanted to check oil level at my first gas stop. At 5'9" I simply could not see the ds tube from the fender. I ended up climbing on the bumper and even then it wasn't easy to reinsert.
I have been unsuccessfully searching for an a answer to this question. I need to have an always live 12v source in the front cabin with Ignition off. I'll use this to power my RVI brake controller while flat towing. I recall watching a video maybe related to fog lamps where the installer stated...
Is there a general consensus as to when the first diff oil change should be? I read a very thorough thread I believe in this forum that suggested after 1000 miles. The poster did say he was overly aggressive with preventative maintenance but also suggested there was evidence that the diffs in...
Picking up a new Badlands SAS next week and will be driving it back home to AZ from NY. I've been reading lots of posts related to the need for early oil changes in the diffs, especially the rear but hoping to find an easier way vs opening the cover. Any thoughts on using an extraction pump...
Is it for certain that all 2024 Badlands 4 door with SaS come with the HOSS 3.0?
I assume that the 2025 will as well. Does that also include the Fox shocks or are those reserved for the Raptor?
