That makes for a different IFS center section / pumpkin, but there's no reason that they can't be both made to accept the same half shafts.

I think part of is that in typical modern vehicles, lights are no longer simply operated by switches and relays. Instead, the switch sends a command to a body control module, and it decides what to do with it. A case in point, on my Fiesta, it didn't come with fog lights. The wire harness is...

I've bought the dash mount for the '10-14 F150. I'm sure I'll take a good look at whatever you guys come up with for the 2-dr Bronco. Before that happens for me (I won't have one right away), I'd love to see molle panels for the forward bedsides of my 6.5' bed truck. I'll probably be ordering...

If I'm not mistaken, Ford has a standardized frequency they use for TPMS. As long as you have the correct frequency sensors, you should be able to use them. On my old WK, it would learn the new wheels / sensors within a short distance with no input needed. Ford, OTOH, makes you work for it...

Three Days of the Condor, w/ Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway: Or from Logan:

I dunno, you might need the full Sasquatch package for that, or at least lockers... :whistle:

I'd like to see fenders that replace the round opening with a more asymetric trapezoidal shape, like what the original Bronco had. If that intregrated a flare reminiscent of what was commonly riveted onto early Broncos rather than being flat sided, so as to cover the tires, that would be fine...

You won't even have to do that - if its prewired, then you just need an adapter to go from the controller to the pre-existing plug under the dash, and you won't have to tie up a 12V port. But even then, aftermarket controllers don't have the benefit of the OEM integration. The later is seamless...

Well, like I said, it doesn't really matter as it was a joke between myself and my father anyway. Anyway, the Bronco II evolved into the Explorer, which later evolved into a CUV. So clearly, Ford never intended to reuse that name. But anyway, don't take it too seriously...

Well, that would probably more be the upcoming Explorer Timberline, from what I've managed to gather so far...

Well, you go down that rabbit hole, the bigger Broncos should then be Bronco IV's. But in my line of thinking, the smaller model fits in the same segment of the market as the original B2, and the bigger one in sort of the same place as the BB. I dunno, doesn't particularly matter...

I was thinking about that as well. I retrofitted an OEM brake controlled into my F150 that didn't come with one originally. The catch here is that for it to work, it has to be activated in the ECU. I would imagine that this could be done in Forscan (I had the dealer do mine), it would have to...

Kind of a moot point. In either case, if the tires are different in size, it can lead to potential problems. Doesn't matter if it has a on-demand clutch coupling, a center diff, a locking transfer case. The thing to keep in mind here that it can lead to long-term damage. Most systems have to...

Considering that the Sport and the main Bronco share just about nothing and aren't even built in the same country much less have any development or production connections, it seems pretty unlikely that one has anything to do with the other. If Ford is halting Sport Badlands models, then it...

Excellent post. Thanks for sharing. I had hoped that Ford would offer an integrated brake controller, but I understand why they don't. But at least this is in place to make adding one a cinch.

We will indeed find out. I don't have any info or links that I can point to either. I do have pretty high confidence that it will be true though, for reasons I can't get into at the moment. But the fact that Ranger does use welded gears is pretty compelling - the use the same model axles from...

Keep in mind that the term "Brake Lock Differential" is just marketing speak for brake-based traction control. Basically, the PCM notices that one wheel is slipping and applies that individual brake to arrest the slip. That's something that a lot of cars have had standard for years now. On a...

Unfortunately, this is your definition of the terminology - it is not the industry accepted definition (that's just your opinion, man! :cool: ). As explained several times in several places, AWD only means that all of the wheels can be powered. That's all. When there are 4 wheels involved...

4A will send power to the secondary axle as is perceived to be needed. But not to each wheel individually. There are some cases like the Bronco Sport Badlands that can power either rear wheel on demand, but it still drives the fronts through an open differential, so all it can do there is use...

Individuals can "do" whatever they want. Ford can't. Driving a spooled or locked axle on high traction surfaces absolutely will necessarily turn your axle into a big torsion spring. Depending on how grippy the tires are, you'll either scrub the tires when you go around turns, or wind the...
