Good to have a little confirmation, I'm 6' as well. I posted on reddit ( Steering Wheel Spacer - for all the tall bois out there : r/FordBronco) and got nothing but pushback. Was quite surprised because I've sworn I've seen others talk about the same issue. Was really just trying to provide some...
For anyone that wishes the steering wheel telescoped further out, I've got a solution for you!
I always wanted the steering wheel to come out further (and do on most cars I've driven). Especially on longer drives, but also in general, I feel as though I have to have my either my legs or arms in...
I know this is pretty old now, and super sorry for what happened. Do you have any more pictures around the A-pillar in particular? I’m trying to work on a design for a handle in that area and want to make sure it won’t mess with how the air bags deploy. Thanks!
Did you ever find a reliable solution to this?
I agree that it is a major issue and potential safety concern in case of an emergency, not allowing passengers to get out quickly, or at all potentially.
I have not had time to take a picture of what I modified. Hopefully soon when I do the other seat.
You grind off either of the tabs I circled. Those are the hard stops. On the next one, I think I might try just cutting them off completely to let the seats go as far back as possible.
I think...
Do you have pictures of your seats laying back?
Would you be able to take pictures of the brackets at the back (similar to the ones I have in the original post) to potentially see what that shop did?
Quick update, I'll have take some pictures still, but I did end up cutting some material (about 3/16" if I had to guess) off of one of the stoppers that I have circled.
The seat does in fact go back further and locks into place! I have only done it to the single seat side and will have to do...
Yes, definitely feels like some kind of detent. However, I can get mine to lock into three different positions (I tried to post pictures of each position in the original post).
It certainly locks into place in at least two positions.
First as you lift it up from the folded position, which is...
Yes, that's what I was trying to indicate. I could pretty easily dremel the part that I have circled to allow the seat back to recline further.
What I am unsure about is 2 things:
1. Like you mentioned, does the hinge mechanism also have the ability to go further?
2. If it can go back further...
Yea, I replied to a similar idea earlier. At least on the rear seats, it only lifts the seat bottom, it would not provide any additional recline to the seat back as it is all driven by the bracket/mount/hinge in the rear
You could pretty easily at the front mounts, but it would only tilt the seat bottom.
The seat back is controlled by the mechanism that is located at the rear of the seats and would not play well with being mounted at an angle. The brackets kind of need to sit flush and studs that the nuts go...
I usually don’t have to sit in the back of my bronco (4 door) but when I have, the seats are very upright and definitely would be a little tough to relax on a longer trip. I know they go back slightly more from where they first click into place as you lift them, but there is definitely still...
So I know this has been discussed a bit previously, but I am curious about the mirror spotlight buttons next to the headlight and fog light switches. I have a 23 Badlands mid package with the modular bumper. So no fog lights, and no lights under the mirrors. I want to get a new switch with...
Yea, I kinda figured if someone found it by now that it would be out there already. And it does seem like there is some stuff in FORScan that they wouldn't really want you messing with, so I was hoping these would be an option too. And hopefully someone will figure something out eventually...
I just got the FORScan tool to make some much needed updates to by'23 Badlands 4-door with the Sasquatch package. One thing that I have not seen, is a way to allow me to use the sway bar disconnect and lockers more freely. I come from wheeling an old '73 K10 that does what I want, when I want...
