Just wanted to extend a solid thank you to @plugnplaykits for helping me figure out the exact right thing for rounding out the last pieces of my upgrade for my truck.
Sure I could have done the wiring myself, but holy hell was it a time saver to have everything ready to go, pinned out...
2021 Big Bend 2.3 Auto, October '21 build date, almost 50k on the odo as of right now.
A few weeks ago, I started to notice that when i got into the truck to start it after it had been sitting, the brake pedal was rock hard, and didn't start to act like a real pedal until the engine started and...
Didn't actually see that this had been run into by anyone yet, but I recently had to replace my armrest window switches. Mostly just putting this here in case anyone else has to deal with it.
A few weeks ago, the rubber coating on my window switches started to come off (switches still worked...

Looks like they're here to stay. (A good thing, IMO)
For sale is a single Hankook that i had to pick up when I had a sidewall failure and not a single entity had the Bridgestone Duelers (Big Bend) in stock. Tire has never been used and still even has the little rubber flailies on it.
$125 - local pickup only (Arizona)
Have had this trip in the works for nearly nine months now, and finally got to take it with a few good friends, road tripping and camping the whole way up. After a week of driving, nearly 2400 miles through hailstorms, smelly sulfur-scented mudpots and unruly mobs of yellowjackets (thanks...
Got invited to do a little wheeling with @Schmohawk and a buddy of his today. A good time was had by all, with only a few pucker moments. Even had a Rivian sighting, and ran into some other broncos as well
I did a fair bit of shopping around before I finally settled on this one, as it seems those crazy Aussies have to contend with a lot of the same problems that we do here in Arizona. Specifically, heat, UV, and epic amounts of dust.
So it arrived, packaged well and in pretty good shape...

An interesting article I ran across regarding Toyota's lack of innovation, specifically on the EV front. I know a huge complaint people have (myself included) regarding Toyotas isn't their reliability, but...
just in case anyone is *not* looking for a bronco to buy, here's the one I'm selling *to* buy my bronco. Sharing here for visibility:

for any that follow this kind of thing, blipshift.com has a classic bronco tee on sale for the next day or so. It's clever, and it's not like Ford is throwing us any bones lately.
Ran across this in my morning coffee surfing, gives some good insight on the semiconductor shortage, but from the non-car side of the world:

And to save the mods some time, no politics, just for discussion and...
Because @TJconvert2.7 suggested it, and we all really need something better to argue about than gas vs electric, here's the beer poll thread. Leaving the brands out so people can just suggest their own, and then we can all get drunk in our own garages.
Given that *every* vehicle has things about it that no manufacturer can seem to get right, what do people with a bit more Ford experience anticipate being possible common problems with our incoming trucks?
to be clear, this isn't meant to be a 'bash-every-manufacturer' thread, just curious what...
