Sta-bar is just short for "stabilizer bar". Which is actually what Ford calls it.
Sway-bar is short for "anti-sway bar".
They're basically the same thing. Some people will argue with you that it's called a "stabilizer bar" when used on the front suspension and a "anti-sway bar" when used on...
To my eye they are hot-dipped galvanized steel, but I'll admit I'm not exactly a metallurgy expert. Once it STOPS RAINING š« I'll go stick a magnet on them, should answer the question pretty quickly.
I'm tempted to give these Cold Heading people a call, though I'm sure the answer will be...
Oh look at that, same torque spec as the tie down points in the cargo area.
Tiny lightweight fuel rails seems close enough to 300 lbs of cargo on a slide. I'll think I'll have two of these fuel rail bolt packs.

ps. When this goes horribly wrong, let the record show...
Well.... HUFF.
Alright... you happen to know the torque spec for the fuel rails on the 2.7L/3.0L? There's a handful of gigantic M8 x 50mm bolts in that thing.
Definitely 010.
Ohhhhhhhh... ya know.... 010 may be 10mm, because it is indeed a 10mm head.
As far as Grade 2... it's metric. M8 bolt. As far as I know metric doesn't follow the little line/notch system.
Another pic:
Alright I'm up to no good again on my Bronco, and need some help identifying a bolt grade.
Allow me to present to you THE BOLT OF MYSTERY. This is a Cold Heading Co. bolt marked with "010". What in the world is a "010" grade bolt?? Anyone?? At all?? Please?? š«
It is rare my Google-fu fails...
Perhaps unpopular opinion... but I don't think it's worth going with a suspension upgrade unless it was a fairly substantial upgrade.
If the goal is to install 33's, you can do that on your current factory suspension. That gives you time to save your pennies for a more substantial upgrade down...
Well thank goodness I don't paint cars for a living because I don't see how it's off, although the sun glare in that second photo is making it hard to see.
Is this Azure Gray? Wonder if the body shop forget to do the full tri-coat.
Oh yeah itās up there for sure.
High package was a $2800 option back in the day, so for most people it probably would have made more sense to just do that.
But obviously getting to the High package in the first place required you bumping up to at least Outer Banks. So if you were originally...
If you price it out itās about $2000 - $2100 in official Ford parts at MSRP. So if you pay full price thatās about ā$450 for the programming, the custom wiring harness, the fact itās put in a nice little kit for you, and of course their profit margins.
Granted Iām sure theyāre not paying...
I would absolutely not expect an upgrade path for existing Bronco owners.
So far only two Ford vehicles have the new Android-based system: the new 2025 Explorer and the new Lincoln Nautilus. And there is no upgrade path for existing Explorer/Nautilus owners.
The Bronco will probably keep the...
Itās (probably) a limitation of Fordās navigation provider, which I believe is a company called Telenav (but donāt quote me on that).
I suspect those limitations is one of the many reasons why Ford is abandoning Sync in favor an Android-based solution in the future.
Depends on the recalls you are talking about, but yes... one of the recent recalls requires a reset of FordPass.
I didn't think the Bronco was impacted by that recall, but admittedly I haven't really paid attention to that one.
It can be done but you have to replace the entire fuse box, run new wiring harnesses, and take apart a good chunk of the dash/window trim to make it happen.
Not exactly easy.
You may want to get in touch with @sirius76. He just completed a similar upgrade but took some shortcuts in order to...
Reveal video has been posted.
To be perfectly honest with ya'll... if the Bronco didn't exist, I'd probably be buying this 4Runner. The 6000 lbs towing in particular is huge.
