100W solar panel and 12 volt cooler

So, in the owners manual it says - every 150K miles do this: I admit my vehicles are old (2002 is the newest) but all those items seem overly optimistic to me.... In any case now we know the trans is supposed to be serviced, it's just a matter of how much pain there is to get it done.

I expect 200,000 miles or more :-) Expected service life doesn't really matter unless it's covered under warranty with no questions asked. I can say that 1,000 miles in the sand is probably the same wear and tear as 20,000 miles on the road. For a rig that does a lot of off-roading on medium...

How do you check, drain and fill the transmission fluid in the 2.7 liter? I was told you never need to check or change it by the Ford rep at a local Bronco event. I call BS on that!

No, but we would sell everything and live the nomad life towing the bronco behind a motorhome :-).

I would move it around my yard and **maybe** tow it 10 miles once or twice. I wouldn't regularly tow it the ten miles (each way). I'd be more inclined to buy a beater pickup to tow the boat with that.

High speed is when the speedo stops showing bigger numbers :-)

How are you guys choosing sizes. Are most of you looking for a cooler to pack for a weekend for a few people or for a day of sightseeing? I'm looking to keep a 12V cooler in the 4 door Bronco full time along with 2 bikes a probably some day hiking gear. This is to keep cold drinks, fruit etc...

That would be AWSOME. Interesting though - no IFS: Front mounted engines only Vehicle must contain 2 seats side by side Single shock per corner Max 37” DOT non-sticky tires Only solid axles allowed (not IFS or TTB)

I would say 20+ years for a well maintained rig!!! I have 2000 Jeep, 2002 Excursion, 2007 Odyssey, 2005 Accord. If I thought the new Bronco was going to need major surgery in 5-10 years then I'd just buy a Jeep....

Modern diesels with their emissions systems are not designed to be idled for long periods of time (all day) - at least as far as I can tell. If you intend to do lots of trail riding then you may find you're replacing expensive emissions systems (like DPF filter) way more often than you would...

I would not use the original video as the only reason for a 4 door. It's true that a 4 door may get high centered more often than a 2 door - with the same lift. There will be places where the 2 door is "better" and other where the 4 door is "better". In most cases they will both perform well. I...

Rock crawling is a motorsport just like any other (motocross, drag racing, etc.) It may or may not float your boat. You can participate at different levels with different vehicles or do it recreationally. As a driver, part of the thrill is picking good / challenging lines and making obstacles...

Badlands?

It really depends on the brakes. If traction is super high then the rear wheel may not "lock" but it still assists the turn. If the Bronco can lock up one rear wheel with 35" tires on dry pavement, that would be pretty impressive.

Another option to consider. It seems that the dealer is shady enough that you're going end up with problems even if you still "own" the reservation. Also they must have taken a deposit from the other person, so that person will be screwed if you end up with the FE... Another option you have is...

When stuff is bound up because of lockers you generally know "something's up" and know you are pushing things to one degree or another. A good rule of thumb is the more you step on the gas without actually moving the more you are pushing it and carrying spare parts and tools becomes more important.

I can't seem to save my build. I'd like to create a build, save it and send a copy to my dealer. Surely I'm just missing some obvious "save" button?

I got emails from Grainger and replied. I'm wondering if I should have seen some kind of follow up or not until after the order window opens?
