Went ahead and ordered a kit from Dr. Colorchip myself for my own scratches on my doors. Ill see how well it works and report back.

Makes sense. Love my new manual i just bought this month. CR needs a smiles per miles rating. Already got its first paint chip after taking it off roading, less than 2k miles on the vehicle.

I got denied trying to join the FB group a few weeks back. Said i didnt agree to rules. Tried again and made sure i clicked the i agree to rules check box but still not accepted. I would like to do some exploring right now if anyone is down. Doesn't have to be a big group, id prefer smaller if...

I would get snow socks personally. In multiple tests, it shows they stop better and it’s stopping power that you really need. I’m in Washington state and several times driving up to mt rainier they required snow chains (or socks) and had those flashing lights requiring you to put them on. So we...

If this vehicle doesn’t last 100k without needing major repairs I’ll be disappointed. It’s after 100k miles that I start to worry. I do drive 12k a year just for work alone. Add other mileage for hobbies and trips. If anything, it’s the 175k mile warranty that I’d want.

Is this something someone can DIY at home? I'm glad that there's already aftermarket parts for the clutch, just in case i burn mine out from trying to learn to drive a manual.

I'm joining the transmission noise club. Brand new 2023 model too just bought early march, started at ~500 miles. At neutral and sometimes 1st gear, temps outside 35F +. Tempted to buy that Ford extended warranty now because I do love the car. Only time will tell if the grinding actually causes...

Nice!

I’m brand new to the off roading world. Looking for easy trails as I learn how to drive a manual myself. Located in Bellingham.

Looks kinda cool but not sure I want that huge screen on the dash all the time.

Are these still available for the Heavy Duty Modular Bumper and how thick is the aluminum?

@CptSamFalcon I'm having to gas it to high RPMs (3-4k) as I find the sweet spot when I clutch out. I'm afraid to damage something because its not smooth at all and lurches the vehicle. Im going to continue to practice but I'm afraid of burning the clutch before then. But you are right, I just...

Anyone near Bellingham area with a manual? I just bought a manual 4 door badlands. I was able to drive it home from the dealership 155 miles away. But still having issues on uphills from a stop. I’m hoping to be good enough to be able to off road it by summer.

Yea it is. I’m just going to practice bc I won’t get sympathy here. I’ll probably try and join a local off roading group and hopefully learn a thing or two from them. I’ll probably sell the car in 7-8 years haha. But you’re right when you say the novelty wears off because none of my friends...

So hill-hold assist only works if you are on a steep enough incline. It worked fine for me on small hills. At a standstill, i found letting the clutch out slowly, and then gassing once the clutch engages, allowed me to not stall. I know of people who used to own manuals, but not anyone who...

Coming from a sedan, I felt the non-Sas badlands is a huge car with great ground clearance already. I don't live near Moab or Colorado so I'm happy with with non-SAS in the northwest. Mostly used to get to trailheads, drive dirt roads for fun, overland, etc. If i lived in Moab or Colorado then...

I did a quick lookup for rent-a-wreck near me and they don’t seem to have any manuals. But that’s a great idea to rent a car to learn on for a week. I’ll have to google and see what I can find. Definitely don’t want to commit to buying a 55k vehicle to later regret it.

I've never driven a manual before. I live in the northwest where even cities like Seattle (and suburbs) have some seriously steep uphills in stop and go traffic. 1. So how hard is it to drive uphill in the city in stop and go traffic? 2. Parallel park at an incline? 3. Difficulty off roading...

I watched the video was like "the Bronco isnt even stuck and had plenty of clearance". Then i read your comment and realized, yea lets not let our egos speak louder than our skills. The Bronco is more capable than my own skill level. I would rather pay 300$ or whatever to get the car down safe...
