  1. How long does the leather smell last? (new car scent)

    Leather scent seems to fade faster in some cars, especially if the cabin gets a lot of sun or you keep the windows cracked often. I’ve kept mine smelling decent by using wax melts at home and letting that scent transfer a bit to jackets and bags; the one I’ve liked most is...
  2. Power Door locks completely stoped working

    Sometimes the lock module loses power from a blown relay or a bad ground in the driver door harness, so I’d pop the boot and look for a broken wire before chasing anything deeper. I got stuck once with dead locks and a tech from a Car key replacement service helped me confirm the module had...
  3. Recommendation for Outdoor/All Weather Car Cover for Bronco

    For my Bronco, I ended up using this after getting tired of cheap covers shredding in the wind, and it’s held up through some rough storms without scratching the paint. The guaranteed fit and easy returns took the stress out of picking the right one. Mine stays on tight even with the Sasquatch...
  4. Looking to upgrade my battery

    A higher‑CCA Group 48 AGM has worked well for me, especially with added accessories. While digging around for options, I ended up using an lr1130 battery equivalent chart for a smaller project, and the clear comparisons helped me sort out specs without overthinking things, so the same approach...
  5. That new bronco smell so strong

    Cracking the windows and parking it in the sun helped mine a ton, and I burned a little Spiritual Cleansing Incense in my garage afterward to mellow out whatever lingered. Once the top had a few hours to breathe, the smell backed off fast. A couple short drives with max ventilation did the rest...
  6. Help sourcing wire and cable

    I’ve run power to the rear before, and 4 to 6 gauge works well for most accessory setups if your charger isn’t pulling huge amps. I’d fuse it close to the battery and use Anderson SB50s so you can unplug things without fuss. Pre-loomed cable is hard to find, so I usually loom my own. Funny...
  7. Tire Size Suggestion

    On the stock OBX setup, I’ve seen 285/70R17s fit fine without rubbing, which gives a decent bump over your 32s. Some folks squeeze in 33s on stock wheels with no drama, but 35s usually need at least the crash bars pulled. I like checking sites like pickyourtires.com for comparisons and real-use...
  8. alternative hotels in Vegas for off roadeo?

    I ended up booking a spot off-strip near Red Rock since the main hotel was full, and it was actually way more chill. Reminded me of a trip I took earlier this year where I found a great luxury accommodation rotorua option that felt local and less hectic but still had all the comfort. Sometimes...
  9. Wireless charger DIY

    I had a similar struggle when I was looking for a charger solution for my car, and like you, I ended up finding something I loved from Boost Auto. The installation was a breeze for me too, and that YouTube video was a lifesaver! It’s great that the charger works so well for both Android and...
  10. *Removed*

    That sounds like an incredibly close call! I'm glad you're okay—things could've been much worse with a concrete truck. It’s a good reminder of how quickly things can change on the road. The Bronco Raptor must’ve taken a severe hit, but vehicles can be fixed or replaced at the end of the day. You...
  11. Garage door opener not working after getting caught in rain

    It sounds like your garage door opener might have taken a bit of a soak! When electronics get wet, they can act up for sure. First off, make sure everything's dried out completely before trying anything else. Sometimes just giving it some time to air out can work wonders. If it's still not...
  12. Beauty or the Beast?...$182K Bronco Raptor 🦖

    looks really hot. I'd get if I had some extra money
  13. Serious Tech Issue - 12 Inch Touchscreen blacked out / bricked (by software update?)

    It's frustrating when tech doesn't work how it's supposed to, especially when it's a new purchase. It's good that you got it into the dealer, and I hope they can resolve the issue quickly for you. On the topic of software testing, have you heard of Agile Software Testing? One benefit of Agile...
