I wonder this too. The one time we had a long journey in our 2 door Sas to Ga hauling all of our gear we had sag in the back too. We had to go down a lot of dirt roads and a hill climb at the end to get to our remote cabin. Lot of weight was back there and a full tank of gas adds to the...
Really, really nice truck!!!! My wife has a 2013, 2WD with 4.8 V8. She's had it since 2014 and loves it more than our 2022 Bronco. I installed MBRB CAT back and it sounds so good. It's giving us brake headaches, from bad shops working on it more than anything else. She won't trade or sell it...
This is a great idea. As much as I love my 2 door Bronco I have concerns on how long or how many miles it will hold up before needing costly maintenance. And driving it 60 miles a day. And it is not easy to work on- just look under the hood and the design of the drivetrain, driveshafts, etc...
There's a risk factor no matter what you do when you take the doors off. You ideally want to keep the risk of damage as low as possible. I like the idea of the rolling cart myself. Get the cart close to the Bronco, right near the door to be removed. Remove the door and place it right in the...
Yes, this rotational noise seems to be kind of common. There is another detailed thread on it. Defective driveshaft and/or lube in the CV joint(s) in the driveshaft. Only remedy is to replace the entire driveshaft. One replaced I have not read of the noise re-occurring- my noise has not...
Is there a substantial price difference from the Ford one? Is there one available for the 2 door? Can the 4 door one be modified to fit the 2 door?
I have been looking for an affordable rack of my 2 door and nothing for 2 years now. Only expensive options.
I have a 35 mile a day each way commute, similar to you. I love my Bronco 2 door and it's very comfortable. But I don't use it as my daily driver. Instead I drive a Mazda Miata, which is not the most comfortable although it gets 38 MPG and is super quick to keep up with crazy driving traffic...
A sloppy oil change most likely. I have almost never brought any of my vehicles in for oil changes. I have been doing them since the early 70's. Some oil changes are more difficult than others and some oil may run down different areas of the vehicle- frame, engine, etc. You have to sometimes...
Yes, that describes it very well. Do you have the advanced 4WD? If so it is easy to listen to and demonstrate the noise. Just jack up the front end and rotate one front tire and you will hear the noise from the driveshaft loud and clear. The non advanced systems do not have this noise as the...
I am envious. Up north when the weather gets nice, it's amazing to have the top and/or doors off. I used to have a Jeep Wrangler I bought new with hard and soft top when I lived in Massachusetts. I could not wait to take the hard top off and put the soft top on in the spring. And I would...
Before I ordered my Basesquatch at the reveal, I priced up a Wrangler Rubicon and what I really wanted- a Gladiator. The Gladiator (base) would have cost me at least 15K more by the time I got the lift kit, larger tires and the gearing change. Even then I would not have locking diffs. To get a...
Never mind tents and the OEM rack, I wish someone would make reasonably priced mounts- easily able to be installed and removed that would fit round, standard cross bars from Yakima or the oval bars from Thule.
I like your mount to the top itself (with the rubber coating). I could use this idea to make a roof rack mount that in turn I could mount standard round cross bars. There currently is no affordable easily installable/removeable roof rack options for the Bronco. The only issue is that the...
Ah, that makes sense. Hope the Mustang is a GT. :) I completely understand the need for a truck. I have three vehicles now while I am working full time and need to get down to one (in addition to an eBike). It will need to be a truck- to support kayaking, hauling bikes, paddle boards...
Two door works with a baby! I had 2 door vehicles when my kids were young and we got by, no problem. Mustang GT and Chevy S10 Blazer. It was not until we had 2 kids that we felt we needed a 4 door. In fact my son and his wife are planning a family within the next year or two. As I...
Depends where it dies and whether or not I am with my wife or not. If we are together and away from home within a close distance- have to get an uber to home, get vehicle at home, buy a new battery, get my portable took kit, then drive to the Bronco and install it. If I am alone, I call my...
Light foot, a lot of coasting and lot of us use of CC and 70 MPH top speed. 22.7 average 2 door base Sas, 2.7. I still cannot afford it as my daily, just a weekend use vehicle.
