Like I said, don't care about whether they have a fix, approved or otherwise, but it's crazy to say "hey, your car may burst into flames, but we won't tell you what the problem is because we don't have a fix yet". There's no law saying they can't describe, in detail, what the problem is before...

I like to so that I can ensure that those devices are definitely off when I turn the vehicle off and park it (and for high amp things like a compressor, to make it less likely I will forget to turn the engine on to run it). The AUX switches make that simple. You can wire some low amp things to a...

Ahh yes, the notable and definitely above board brand we all know: "CNRAQR". Are they a subsidiary of "#()*#$#"?

Ford needs to release some actual information on this, so owners can make an informed choice about their vehicle. Which harness/where is it a problem. Don't care if they don't "have a fix yet", they have a duty to provide owners with this kind of information so they can deal with the situation...

Glad no one was seriously injured, and glad you are keeping on top of your wife's concussion. As to the Bronco, unfortunately it's very difficult to look at just the visible parts of the vehicle to tell how much damage there is. Modern vehicles are good at, for lack of a better word, hiding...

The Badlands non-SAS is just a tiny bit shy of a SAS of any flavor (for all the core equipment) -- especially in 7MT configuration. There won't be any significant difference (short of some high level off roading tasks) other than the MT tires on the SAS being LOUD and STIFF compared to the...

The Badlands is essentially a SAS (with the 7MT). Everything but some trim pieces, smaller tires, and 3/4" of lift from suspension. With the 10r80 you don't get the 4.7 gears though. Yep, I am ever so glad I didn't drop $6,000 for slightly bigger tires, hah.

A tip I have from my own misadventure: make sure you use a magnetic screwdriver or other means to secure the bit you use. Or you turn this 5 minute job into a 5 minute job + a 45 minute job hunting for a lock torx bit somewhere in your engine bay ;)

My money wants to go to you. It's begging.

Over the weekend got my tube doors on. Of course, it's been non stop thunderstorms all week now though, hah!

I've never had the experience of 3 on the tree.. hopefully some day!

Anyone done this surgery to a '24 Badlands 7MT? I very much would like to have a non-shitty rpm gauge, hah.

Not saying it hasn't been considered, but I'd be interested to see the market research on who is more likely to mod their vehicle though. I feel like us 2 door people are far more likely to dump a bunch of mods into our vehicles, given that an owner of a 2 door is probably much more of an...

New car manual sales in the EU are dropping like a rock too. Down from 80% to 30% in the last decade. They are just a decade or two behind the U.S. in that respect.

Boo for no 2 door version.. yet ;) Suggestion 1: The USB power is great, but you should also provide 12V power connection. These things are a good place to mount radios and other 12V equipment. If you're already wiring up the USB, might as well provide the 12V. Suggestion 2: For the 2 door...

I gave my niece (who's just learning to drive in general) her first manual lesson in my Bronco a couple weeks ago. She did not quite understand what I meant when I said "a little throttle and slowly let out the clutch" -- even after demonstrating. Instead, on her first try, she throttled up to...

I think there's a big divide between people who drive for the sake of driving, and those that drive to get groceries. My good friend absolutely HATES the idea of a sunday drive. If he's in a car with no purposeful destination he is not happy. He also would never want a manual. Me, I take a...

I'm guessing you didn't have the option, but I would have told them to go you-know-what and use a different dealer. My area had zero manuals (in a 50 mile radius or so) but I had no problem walking into a dealer and putting in an order for a 2DR 7MT manual. The only pushback I got was a mild...

I have a manual Mustang, and and manual Bronco. I will always preference a manual over an automatic. I've only ever bought automatics when there was no manual option for the car I wanted. My next car will probably be a BMW m-line sedan, as long as they still make them in manual when I decide to...

That went from mildly expensive.. to really, really damn expensive real quickly.
