Looks nice! Red is actually my favorite vehicle color, I own two other red vehicles. Velocity blue caught my eye after seeing it on the first Bronco I test drove, but can't go wrong with race red either.

The slab side effect and lighting seems to impact Bronco more than other vehicles, in terms of paint color appearance. I've seen all the colors look good and sometimes mediocre, depending on angle/lighting/etc. I might have gone race red if there was no such thing as direct sunlight, lol. Man...

I thought the McGuard "Bulge Cone Seat Style" lug nuts are same wider type in terms of mating surface etc as stock? Is that not the case, hence use of the paint pen?

Previous owner probably just added some tires/wheels and maybe lift. Sas would need front/back diff locker switches on the dash among other things.

Nice. Did you paint those front letters gray, or buy them that way? I bought some white overlays, but they are a bit too bright white, thinking about hitting them with a spray can of some off-white or color.

Perhaps like no time in history, people your age have opportunity to make a lot of money. My son's friend played around with crypo in high school, made thousands and even landed a job after college with a crypto firm. He's actually part of the reason I got in on Bitcoin when it was as 17k (I...

I don't think I could live without the removal top though - it's the main reason I bought a Bronco. Raptor Ranger looks interesting though, will have to check one out at a dealership some day.

My first car was a beat up used 1965 Mustang for $900. Decades later, my Bronco is the first new car I've ever bought for myself. One thing I've learned, having new or very good condition vehicles has a down side. I'm talking about the worry that can weigh on the owner, in terms of the vehicle...

Granger came through for me prior to the base Bronco getting cancelled. And since I wanted the 2-door with hardtop, it was actually lower cost overall at the time than a comparable Wrangler. Fast forward now, with price increases and Bronco base no more, and the numbers are reversed. I can get...

I'm running a USA version of this same wheel, having a less common +42 offset (instead of +55), and in a color called Magnetic (probably close to the Dyno Gray but with some metallic). This 17x8 wheel was from the Ranger Tremor package. I've got the Territory 315/70R17 tires on them. The offset...

For max cost savings, you could get some mild spacers for $50. I'd stick with 1" or so lift with some additional level in front, no need to go 2" for 35s. Find a friend willing to help, offer some beer. The spacers shouldn't stiffen the ride or cause trouble for your usage. You'll probably need...

True story. After my high school graduation, we all walked out of the gymnasium, and there on the street was a brand new car with huge bow on top. And a student was jumping up and down shouting "thank you daddy". Yeah, that family had to do it right there in front of everyone. I got a camera...

I'm partial to 2-door vehicles, and so would advise that route. They are generally more sporty and fun to drive on a regular basis, even simple things like parking are a bit easier. Overall I enjoy driving more nimble vehicles and dislike driving our long min-van, even it does excel at hauling...

Yeah, I'm just saying that is kind of crazy paying $47k for a 2-door Wrangler Sport off the lot. For any reasonable person with some patience, the budget customer can get into a Wrangler around $7k less than a Bronco. I've got the most basic base Bronco 2-door manual and it's great. It's got...

$47k for a 2-door Wrangler Sport is odd. The Jeep 2024 build and price shows $32k msrp for a basic Wrangler Sport. Somebody outfitting a Sport to $47k is doing it wrong. With Ford having got rid of the base model, a customer can get into a basic Wrangler for around $7k less than a basic Bronco...

A couple days ago I was using a canister vacuum to cleanup sawdust in the garage, and wondering about the odor coming from the vacuum exhaust. Opened the canister to find baby mice in a nest of towel remnants. Apparently the birth mouse had climbed through the vacuum hose into the canister to...

Good info. Will be interesting to see over time, how the SMC holds up compared to the POM. (My bet is better, how could it be worse.) Unfortunate about the exterior appearance though, personal preference but I prefer the MIC look to gloss black. Check this out about POM from the article link...

The problem prior to COVID was manufacturers dropping some of their economy car lines. Due to people not buying them and profit margins. People wanted bigger vehicles in particular SUVs. I recall end of 2019 when I managed to find a new Kia Soul manual trans and buy it for 14k, some of the...

Wow, will be staying tuned to this possibility.
