Just got the old Bronco back, the next few days will tell if it actually got fixed this time. Apparently the passenger door door lock/unlock button failed internally and was sending enough signal to the BCM to keep the BCM awake, but not enough to lock/unlock the door. Switch got replaced...

Any chance you could post/share the piece list from the manual? I have been wanting to price out green body pieces to see how expensive it would be for a "paint job."

For those of you curious, turns out a brand spanking new battery did absolutely nothing. Got it home Friday evening at 830pm-ish and next time trying to do anything it was 730pm tonight (Sunday), when it had just enough battery to unlock via the fob, and attempt to turn the starter and cause...

Fair enough, just had seen that one slung around a bunch as the "best." Interesting feature on the Antigravity, that auto conservation bit. Do those batteries do decent in very hot (Southern AZ) and cold? I know normal Lead Acids are weakened in such extremes, but admittedly I know little...

I'll keep that battery type in mind for once the "freemium" warranty batteries go away. I did a micro amount of research, the LiFePo batteries are similar performance to the AGMs, just multitudes more cycle lifespan, is that roughly accurate?

What kind of battery did you upgrade to? The yellow top ones that I have heard are the "best"? Taking it to the dealership tomorrow since the battery is still under warranty. I'll update afterwards, hopefully it's a simple battery.

I'd be glad to see that white paper if you can find it! Also, maybe I'm doing this all wrong, where else do you check your parasitic draw besides disconnecting the positive terminal? As I feel that you get that reconnecting the battery surge whenever you then put the amp meter between the +...

So, boosted the battery to ~10.5V, enough to activate the windows so it won't leak if it rains. Both fobs wrapped in tin foil (poor man's faraday cage) and ~50+ feet away inside the house. No whirrs, clicks or anything. Disconnected the positive terminal, and checked current. Burst of clicks...

Yeah, the 10+A reading was nuts to me. So the doors were closed (except for the window as the battery is too low to do it's shuffle down and up as the door opens and closes). I'll charge it up and try again with no key around.

Current state of fuse box

So I finally got some time to dig into it. Before dropping cash on a new battery I wanted to double check. Disconnected the positive terminal and was running a amp meter and got a surprising greater than 10A draw, as it was putting my 10A fused meter into Overload. Disconnected my 3...

Well, guess I'll dig into the battery replacement then, thanks!

2 weekends ago, I took my 23 BadSas on a light offroading/rock crawling trip. Spent about 10 hours going all around the area with both front doors off, scraping rock rails and skid plates, but nothing obviously damaging. It did get pretty dusty on the inside. While in 4lo and not in any GOAT...

These tube doors might actually get the Wife to okay for the back doors, as the mesh and solid panels will keep all the kids' stuff from rapidly departing! I like the mesh part, gives the option to bolt/attach cup holders to it for the longer rides

To be up front, haven't pulled the trigger yet. However, I reached out to Turn Offroad for some measurements, and it should work in my situation (I also relocated the winch control box for extra clearance). Here is what Turn Offroad told me: "The lower side of the bull bar site 8" over the...

Sending you a pm!

How much noise does it make as you drive, or are these guys relatively quiet?

Thanks for the input! I was just wondering on the locale as maybe you were in a high moisture environment to explain the difference between your steps and mine. Once again, thanks for speaking up, hard to find first hand accounts out in the wild.

On second read, I'm assuming you live in Utah Mr Utah Todd?

Just out of curiosity, what part of the country do you live? I have the same steps (only been installed since the early Spring) and haven't noticed any. Caveat, I was until this month living in NM (not much humidity or moisture to rust anything there)
