I put a Wildland Firefighter magnet on the Bronco in rememberence of the 5 Wildland Firefighters killed in Colorado this year.
Those so inclined can donate at wffoundation.org a good group that directly supports families.
Took a little camping trip and did som easy class 3 type roads and noticed a connector trail that would allow a loop without backtracking. Got into it and hit about 300 yards of class 6 or 7 stuff and the Bronco did great, eased my mind a bit.
A question for @Ducati1098 relating to recalls. I had the front driveshaft recall and removed my Asfir transmission skid before taking it in and plan to do the same when I get the fuel pump recall done as the skid is not OEM and maybe not considered part of the covered recall repairs. I also...
LRE in and of itself may not offer more sidewall protection, but many, you need to look, have three ply sidewalls opposed to two ply on others and generally more rubber too.
I won't buy a GY tire. We used to have them at work and got sidewall punctures all the time. Never could wear out a set 'cause they kept being replaced one at a time.
I've been blissfully running LREs on all my 4x4s for years. It's been many years (I actually can't remember one) since I've...
Define 0. Passenger window gets glitchy, fixes itself. Wouldn't start the other day fixed itself on fourth try. Backup camera glitch, fixed OTA. Parking brake 'thing', one time, never repeated, wireless Android Auto doesn't work, have to hardwire, I prefer it, I didn't like how it defaulted...
All good info, IMHO get yourself some Bilstein 5100s, set at 2" or less or Ford Performance Bilsteins2" and call it good. The 5100s can be had for around $650 a set if you can install yourself. I'd bet a spacer lift would be near the same installation cost, since coilovers still need to be...
I used the Curt system and had something similar. When hooked to a trailer all good. When I hooked up some strap on LED lights and plugged in to the Bronco they ran full time, IDK. Hook up to an actual trailer and see how it works. Could be the ground issue folks mention, trailer will also...
Unofficial, that's like 2.5 outta 3 so 83%. So assuming the engineers have a 50% safety factor your good and I'd run it that way....for about two months, until it bugged me too much and I took @Brian_B s advice and installed (at least one) longer bolt(s).
I think I pay $12 or so for mount and balance at Walmart, but that includes 5K rotation and flat repair at any Walmart. The service guys seem as good as anywhere and some have gone above and beyond to help out.
I have the RC too and love it and it, like me is cheap, win win. Mine came with the lights, which I wired into the rear power point so I get 45 minute camp light availability. Mine also came with the spare tire license plate relo. I don't like spare tire mounted ones so I modded it to work on...
For the last several sets of tire I bought I have used Walmart.com. You get to browse every brand of tire, sometimes directly from Walmart, sometimes third party. Sometimes tires will ship to your local Walmart sometimes to your home. Regardless I have Walmart mount and balance, I have never...
There should be a fuse to pull to disable parking brake or unhook wires at actuators at calipers . This would disable only parking brake and not service brakes. But might send a code to the Bronco causing a freak out.
I had brakes set (never new if service or parking) inexplicably off road...
I used some hardware store bracket to mount my towed battery charger to this point.
As far as the winch I leave the positive disconnected at the battery and have a wingnut on the appropriate stud to make my connection
I've spent 55 years four wheeling, mostly with no locker and did great. Then I got a Rubicon with both and got cocky and stuck some. The rear was real nice to have, the front didn't add much marginal performance. Now the Bronco. With the ifs at least one is essential, these things love to go...
