  1. Bronco after 100k miles

    I can't last remember when gas was last $1.11 / litre! 😳😆 It's 2.08 CAD currently where I live - or 5.68 USD per an American gallon.
  2. Build Advice - First Time going in to a Bronco

    My bad, I definitely over-inferred when it came to reading your desired specs. My apologies. Enjoy the order, build & delivery process. The anticipation that accompanied my factory order was, for the most part, a lot of fun! Cheers.
  3. Build Advice - First Time going in to a Bronco

    I don't think you can get a manual transmission with a four door, 2.7 Badlands. Ditto for the factory roof rails. I do however have the MGV seats and wash-out floor both of which are a huge plus for a vehicle of this nature. For me, the LUX package was worth the extra financial outlay also.
  4. Home Made Camper Top

    And to think, I couldn't order my 2.7 Badlands with a factory rack because Ford has "weight concerns" about that configuration. 🤣
  5. Ran 2/3rds the roof and a cargo cover

  6. Ran 2/3rds the roof and a cargo cover

    Thanks for your post because I know that the owners manual forbids having the other roof panels in place when the clamshell is not, but I didn't know there was an accessory (Bucking Adventures trail latch) that makes this interesting roof configuration possible. And your Bronco looks great doing...
  7. How far did you travel to pick up your Bronco ?

    200 km (120 miles) Easily worth it for the money saved.
  8. Food storage - fridge

    I have a 42 quart and a 52 quart from BougeRV for my Bronco and F-150, respectively. They have the same footprint but the smaller one is more conducive heightwise for the Bronco cargo area when top off and using a tonneau. I purchased the 42 quart quite a few years back and it has been...
  9. Home Made Cell Phone Holder, Yep, I Did A Thing…..

    Indeed there are worse things than phone mounts to put in the path of airbags... namely when the passenger puts their legs up on the dash. 🤪
  10. Home Made Cell Phone Holder, Yep, I Did A Thing…..

    As per this pic If this pic is any indication, the path of passenger side airbag deployment encroaches on the center console grab handle where he has the phone mounted.
  11. Home Made Cell Phone Holder, Yep, I Did A Thing…..

    If you have a crash and the airbags deploy, is that cellphone going to get dislodged and come straight for your head? 🤔
  12. Help! How do you stop this thing? A stat you probably didn't know (149 feet brake distance).

    I have a 2026 Badlands and it stops waaasay better than the '71 Valiant I had when I was 16, lol. The brakes on that thing were so worn (along with the entire front end) and I was living paycheck to paycheck with no money to spare for repairs. Many a times, shifting to neutral to assist in...
  13. Do you call your Bronco a car or truck?

    This is worse: I'm in BC and the provincial insurance company (ICBC) lists my Badlands as a station wagon on the registration!
  14. Purchased new Bronco, found possible solar wiring!!! Need help

    A 12 V supply for whatever he wanted to power at the back of the truck such as an air compressor, camp light, fridge, whatever.
  15. Purchased new Bronco, found possible solar wiring!!! Need help

    You are indeed correct, Lou. One would hook the output of solar panels to the bus bars and the small blue box will make sure the panels' output doesn't fry the onboard battery on a sunny day. It also stops reverse flow out of the battery when the potential is the other way (i.e. cloudy days and...
  16. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

    Unfortunately not. I live & work in one of the most expensive housing markets in Canada. The average cost for a single detached house here is $1.2M. And that wouldn't be waterfront like my condo.
  17. It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

    For Bronco owners who, like myself, live in an apartment/condo, the process of removing and, more specifically, storing the roof presents special challenges. Aside from not having the luxury of a garage (and hence some extra storage space), my strata (or HOA for American readers) is particularly...
  18. Oil change cost - how much?

    April Wine?! Tell me your Canadian, without telling me your Canadian, lol. From the same era but opposite ends of the country, throw on some Prism, specifically Armageddon and see if you can get the oil change done between the opening sounds of the jets scrambling and the closing notes. 😆 If you...
