  1. New here, BS owner thinking of upgrading.

    My biggest gripe I think about the 6G. I came here from an LR3 which had a AWD transfer case and Terrain Response, and miss that capability on snow and ice. Now we have to shift (or let the Bronco do it if you have the auto case) as needed for conditions and when you get to those patchy parts...
  2. Auto Start / Stop - how to permanently disable?

    If you like your ASS you can keep your ASS. But those who don't like ASS aren't going to be convinced so there's no need to tell us how great ASS is, the question is how to get rid of it, so if you don't have that answer leave us alone. I have a 22 so I guess I'm lucky, Forscan did the trick nicely.
  3. My 'Un-wheelable' Bronco (35"s, 3.73's, no lockers)

    The wheeling world is full of thingwavers and gatekeepers, who really don't like that you can go to the same places with your Base that they can with their SAS/Lockers/etc. Our 2 door base has really surprised me with the off road ability. Ford made good use of the Terrain Response they...
  4. U.S. Army tests the Bronco at Fort Hood

    Some friends from high school bought a cpouple of Gamma Goats when the army in AK surplussed them, and they said that were were absolute shit. They got stuck at the first sign of ickyness and were pure buttered hell to get them unstuck. SUSV's were better off road but not practical on the road.
  5. U.S. Army tests the Bronco at Fort Hood

    My first real 4x4 was a military spec Scout II. It was titled as a 1971 although it wasn't released to the cilivilian world until 1972. Four pot 196ci engine, 3 speed manual, no power steering or power assist for the brakes, army spec seats like a school bus, and mine came with a bullet mark on...
  6. Keep your key fobs isolated, folks.... to prevent stolen Bronco

    There are still some places where you can live like people respect you and your stuff, we live in one. Amazing how fast it can turn. I used to live in the small town of Wasilla, AK. The UPS guy once left long narrow packages that lookled exactly like guns in boxes on my porch and they were there...
  7. Keep your key fobs isolated, folks.... to prevent stolen Bronco

    Just let the thieves have it, they say. I have insurance, they say. You still have to pay the deductable, the insurance company payout isn't going to cover the ADM some of you knucks paid, and why in the hell are we cowed into believing that the best we can do is rent our valuables from the...
  8. Can I remove the rear speakers?

    Thanks, I can do that. I have the forscan, it's darn handy.
  9. Can I remove the rear speakers?

    Base Bronco with the base stereo, which is fine after i swapped out the dash speakers for some Kickers. It occured to me that the rear speaker pods take up a stupid amount of interior space, it's usually just the 2 of us, and they sound like crap really. Can I take them off without killing the...
  10. Hi-Q HF Antenna & FT-891 Install on a 2 Door Bronco

    I bought the GMRS version of the H8, basically the same radio but type accepted as a GMRS so if by some remote chance the FCC was to question it I can say "this is a GMRS" It won't operate in both services at the same time. It is a valid option to cover both services with one radio, and I can't...
  11. Additional Key Fob

    According to the owners manual instructions regarding the keys, you can only have 4 programmed. The question that I can't seem to find the answer to is that over the life of the Bronco or at one time? Curious because I programmed a spare and managed to lose it almost immediately. So I have...
  12. 30 degree weather caused GOAT to fail to select

    Whatever caused that wasn't the temperature.
  13. Hard top question... put front panels on without the main rear?

    With the latches at the windshield there's no way those panels are coming off unitentionally.
  14. Hi-Q HF Antenna & FT-891 Install on a 2 Door Bronco

    I have TIDRadio H8 that is type accepted on ham and GMRS, but, one or the other depending on the keys you hold at startup. It won't do both at the same time. I can program 2 meter and 440 ham frequencies for RX in GMRS mode but won't transmit which I how it keeps its type acceptance I would...
