  1. Inspections before / after Off-Roading?

    Im by no means a serious off-roader but as I’ve mentioned elsewhere I’m trying to build up my comfort level and competence in this skill. One thing I like doing and have been doing is going fast on bumpier paths. Of course with this I sometimes underestimate how big of a dip is in front of me...
  2. Swaybar disconnect replacement lead time

    So I have a 2022 Badlands with the automatic swaybar disconnect, it had an error around middle of June leading to it needing to be replaced. The shop has been all shoulder shrugs on when this thing will be delivered and replaced. In the meantime time I can't really use my Bronco more than just...
  3. What should you keep on hand on the trail?

    Folks, I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of different answers here and perhaps links to previous threads on this topic, but looking for some insight. I find that I end up on trails with just my son and I since I either have no one else who can go, capable vehicle, etc. This last trail I went on...

  5. Tire repair advice -- where to service 35s on 18" aftermarket wheels

    I've got Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35s on 18" aftermarket Fuel wheels (Zephyr, with the faux beadlocks) on my '22 2 door Base MT, which I bought used from AutoNation about a year ago with low miles and one previous owner. The tires and wheels were both acquired and installed by the original owner...
  6. New here - need help with paint chip restoration cost breakdown

    Hey gang! I’ve been a proud Wildtrak owner since 2022, and haven’t been afraid to take it out and get dirty. Problem is, without the mudflaps I’ve absolutely speckled the sides of my car with rock chips. I’m curious if yall have an idea of how much it costs to fix this stuff/what I should be...
  7. 2.7L vibration pulse and rough idle issues

    I have seen some threads that indicate some similar symptoms. But recently (around 12 months and 25k miles) my Bronco Badlands 2.7L began to roughly idle (noticeable shake in steering wheel and seats) between 800-1,100 rpm (the cold start range for me). After it warms up and lowers to 500-600...
  8. Headlight Wiring Broken

    Looking for help or guidance on how to repair my headlight wiring. This is a picture the wiring the headlight would be plugged into. If additional information helps, I installed the alpha Rex headlights less than a year ago and just recently my blinker stopped working. Took apart the entire...
  9. How can you tell if a crack or chip in a windshield needs repair or replacement?

    The decision to repair or replace a crack or chip in a windshield depends on several factors: Size: If the crack or chip is larger than a quarter, it will likely need to be replaced. Chips smaller than that can often be repaired. Location: If the crack or chip is located in the driver's line of...

  11. Fixing Badlands rear bumper

    So I completely took off my soft top and in the process let the soft top introduce itself to the rear bumper. This is the aftermath. (photos attached). Seems it is plastic, does anyone know how to fix it? (Is it fixable?) I would imagine some type of heat would be involved or should I just...
  12. Bent soft top accident - repair advice please!

    Drove into garage door with soft top in 2nd position (two days after getting a lift and new tires, forgetting I would no longer fit 🄓🄺🄓) Now of course the rails are bent - the top closes but there are gaps. Hate to file a claim with auto insurance if it can be fixed at home. Has anyone been...
  13. TOTALED!? or Fixable?? We’ll find out soon!

    Sadly, my Bronco was hit head on while stopped at a red light, by a dude high on meth! He hit about 3 cars, but the Bronco took the brunt of the impact. BUT, the Bronco front end crushed where it needed to and protected my wife inside! And that’s all that matters. I always drive the Bronco to...
  14. MIC Hard Top Wind Noise Reduction - 2023 Edition - Plus Bonus Fix for Bad Adhesive

    Like many, I plan to use my long-awaited Bronco for long road trips. Like slightly fewer, I'm a bit of an NVH snob. I've had the dash off my Mustang probably 10 times searching for rattles and lining everything with felt and double-sided tape before it was silenced to my liking. My Bronco...
  15. New Bronco in shop for 2+ months

    I picked up my new Bronco back in Oct and was stoked (after 2 year wait). Then the clutch got stuck and a burning metallic smell came from the engine (under 700 miles) . Immediately took it in. And sure enough they found signs of burning and needed to order some new parts… which are still...
