Many thanks to the forum member who mentioned putting dynamat/kilmat on the inside of skid plates. A well spent 1.5 hours today. I think it’s made a noticeable improvement in NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) and complements material I’d previously put in rear storage area and doors. My...
After owning a BMW with great looking wheels that are a SOB plus to clean, my take on wheels is ease of cleaning comes first. Second is ease of fixing dings and scrapes.
I replaced the leaking OEM Badlands yellow SAS Bilsteins W/ Bilstein 6112 eighteen months ago. Main reason for this selection was I didn’t want to lift or spend a ton of money. Already had factory 35”’s and no desire to go bigger. On/off road handling is ok, but I think they ride harsh off...
Jeremey, if I could offer one piece of hard learned advice, it would be carefully think through your long range plan. This saves conflicts further down the road. I.e., how do you use your bronco, what do you carry, do the size and shape of things you carry change? Do you plan on adding side...
Easy enough to fix. It’s just a matter of popping off one end of the pneumatic strut on bottom of tailgate (you must do this), closing tailgate, loosenping the four bolts holding tailgate to hinges, and sliding tailgate into the position you’d like. Then retighten bolts and reattach strut...
Is it a bad weld? Of course it is. Should that bumper have made it onto a vehicle? Of course not. Is it irritating? Absolutely. IMHO, the only proper fix is a new bumper. If you have a long term relationship with your dealer, they may replace it without a struggle. Otherwise, on the...
If you’ve lifted / changed / upgraded your coilovers and have an electronic disconnecting sway bar, check to make certain that the nuts holding the link between the sway bar and lower control arm on driver‘s side is tight at both ends, especially the bottom. If the answer is no to the coilover...
I’m older than you and can’t do a direct lift up and onto spare tire mount either. Divide and conquer, so to speak, is doable. When at home I have a sturdy oak bar stool that I precisely position beneath the mount. Then lean top of tire on the stool. Next, I grab bottom of tire and lift it...
I don’t pay for it. Unlike you, I didn’t like Ford’s nav enough to pay for it. I’m an apple guy so I’m ok w/ Apple Maps. Try Google Maps if you don’t like Apple Maps.
Our Bronco is a 2022 Badsquatch and was delivered w/ a soft top. We purchased our hardtop during the time period when Ford offered MIC tops to certain customers. Mistakenly thinking all issues had been resolved, we bought one (6/2024). In hindsight, a mistake. After eighteen months and...
Bought their aluminum version with reinforcing ribs to save weight. It’s bent up in the center some. Otherwise good shape. In hindsight, wish I’d bought the steel version. At least I could weld on it. Not set up to weld aluminum. Since then, I’ve installed a PPE aluminum transmission pan...
