    Well, save your money. This sunshade definitely provides solid shade but I find it obnoxiously loud running down the road even at 45 mph. The cheap $40 mesh top was whisper quiet even at 65 mph.

    I have a love/hate relationship with the soft top on my 23BB dual top. No instructions on how to do the initial install. I was able to figure it out with some help from the 6G folks. It was necessary to adjust the center brackets on the roll bar. After all that the rear passenger window panel...
  3. FordPass App v5.0 Launched

    This app is a train wreck. While superficially a visual improvement. Too many features are gone or buried. Finding the tire pressure is an adventure in poor design. Do you have an extended warranty? Ford Pass no longer cares. You get alleged mileage remaining but no fuel tank gauge? For a...

    I have limb risers attached to my "gun sights".
  5. Anything scarier than running out of warranty... which extended warranty to get (if any)?

    I had a 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel that I loved. Until it let me down a couple of times. Failure to start and then failure to continue to run under load. The first one might have been user error, living a small light on and not driving it daily. The other was some sensor fault. Anyway...

    I replaced my inexpensive mesh sunshade with the Ford canvas bimini top. This is actually made by Bestop but I couldn't find it on their site. I'm glad I was able to buy it at a discount because I'm not so sure it is much better than my cheap one. It is designed to cover the front without a...

    Yesterday, I removed the hard top (after the serious storms we had that morning) and installed my soft top. My 23BB came with dual tops. I've done this a few times and it doesn't seem to get any easier (well, except that I use electric winches so I can do it all myself. It still took me at...

    You may recall I didn't like the stock rims on the 23 Big Bend. I really liked the look of the Black Diamond Steel Rims. Likely would have bought a Black Diamond if they were available March of 23. LOL. Big Bend - factory wheel + tire = 58.25 lbs - factory tire 32" dia, Bridgstone Dueler A/T...

    Well, I have to confess I didn't make it. Thursday I injured my eye somehow. Friday morning I went to the eye doctor. She said that I didn't scratch it but it was inflamed. Not sure how I did it. By the time I was done with that and the weather for Saturday in Perry was not looking ideal, I...

    Another day and another toy for my Bronco. This time I went with the Mabett Cargo Sidewall Protector (for the 4 Door). I think these are made of the same stuff that their seat covers are made of...PU "Leather". Not sure how good it looks, other than it looks a lot better at the moment than...

    And supposedly in order to get this to work, you need to edit one line in your Bronco's code to activate the amp/speaker. I didn't try the speaker before using Forscan. After Forscan, it worked! But for some reason, I couldn't reconnect or confirm that the update went through. Not very...

    @Steve76 Hi, Steve, I used FoMoCo FP5T-18C808-AB Audio High Performance Sound System Amplifier for Ford Fusion FP5T18C808AB T163700 $74.99 USD Got it from OCO Industrial. Did a search for Ford AMP FP5T18C808AB and after scrolling a bit I find it. I had followed the video by Krista of...

    84 Piece Bronco Tool Kit If you are looking to blow some money on your Bronco, I really like the Bronco Kit from Ford. List price is pretty high but you can find it for less. It has just about every tool you need to carry for those off road emergencies. I've added a larger gauge spool of...

    @BobN - USAF - Even though I can't reconnect with Forscan. It did appear to write the update I needed as sound is coming out of the AFT speaker that I added. I don't see any way to control it. Sync4 looks the same.
  15. Forscan Connected, Made Change, Failed to disconnect and now will not connect to Bronco 23

    Well now, I finally had a chance to check out my Bronco with the apparently failed Forscan/Bronco connection. I didn't try connecting to Forscan/Bronco again but I did check my rear speaker. Sound is coming out of it. I guess it did write to the ACM before it faild. Does it sound great...
  16. Forscan Connected, Made Change, Failed to disconnect and now will not connect to Bronco 23

    I'm new to Forscan. My Bronco is a 23 Big Bend that came with the 6 speaker delete option. Yesterday, I installed a Ford Fusion amp and a kicker 6.5 speaker. Very easy overall. Downloaded, activated Forscan, using the recommended dongle. Connected to the Bronco. Copied/saved original...

    Thanks. Yesterday I took apart the rear interior (floor and passenger side). Exposed the fake amp and speaker. Replaced same with a Ford Fusion amp and a 6.5 Kicker speaker. Pretty easy. Forscan was not. I got it to read my Bronco. Copied the as is. Then I made the change to activate the...

    Well, I've had Black Diamond steel rims for several months for my 23 Big Bend. Finally made an appointment with Minco's who swapped out the tires and TPMS for me today. I love me some steel rims. Likely an infection from my WW2 jeep (and Olive Drab Disease). Once I got home, I jacked up...
  19. Bronco Market Share down to 25%, while Jeep is 40% and 4Runner 35%

    I went to the Ford website a few minutes ago. I searched inventory near me. Changed the URL to 500 mile radius. The website inventory is not forthcoming in that it would only say there are 100+ Broncos near me. I sorted by lowest to highest price. The Big Bends, I saw were 42K (2 Door) 44K...
  20. What’s this metal piece under my Bronco?

    I got the same piece of junk on my 23 Big Bend. Didn't come with any skids just that thing and those stupid plastic dust deflectors. When I added I did the fuel tank skid I trashed it. It bolts into a cross member. No big deal.
