Yes, I purchased the Ford Performance fender flare kit (they are the same as the Ford OE Sasquatch flares). They were on sale at Stage 3 Motosports for $350. I was able to sell my non-sad flares for $200, so was not bad cost wise to upgrade them. They are the perfect combo with just minor poke.

Please don't listen to this idiot. The Ford Performance Tune literature states "Any failures associated with the non-use of premium fuel will be ineligible for warranty repair"

It was $825 for the tuner (they are cheaper on many websites), plus $246 for install. I had 84,000 Ford points, so I used my points which covered $420 of the total cost. Well worth it. The Bronco performs significantly better. Its shifts are smoother, noticeably more power, a lot less turbo lag...

Yes, it's always active. I don't even keep the module in the vehicle, It just sits in the box.

That is what I did, I keep a can of RaceGas in the Bronco now.

No, you need to run premium. According to Ford Performance It can result in engine damage without it. I sold an Audi before buying the Bronco, and it also required premium fuel. There was not a single incident in which I could not find premium in 10 years of driving it, so I am not too worried...

The dealership installed the tune and that subject never came up. I don't see any advantage to waiting.

Mine is actually getting better MPGs with the tune. Now that the speedo is correct to the larger tire size, I am getting 17.6 MPGs out of the 2.7. That is better than before when I had the stock 33" tires on it. Only downside is the need to run premium fuel, but I was already doing that. I will...

I agree, I got the tune for the 2.7 recently and it made a significant difference. Huge improvement in drivability. It accelerates more smoothly, has more low end power, and it shifts far better. It also calibrated my speedo to the new tire size (33" upgraded to 35"). It's hard to say how much...

Badlands (Non-SAS) with Black Rhino Armory Wheels, 17x9.5 +6mm offset. Mickey Thompson 35x12.5x70 Baja Boss AT. Rough Country 1" Level kit that was used a tad differently. Two spacers were used in the front (3/4" lift) and one spacer in the rear (1/4" lift) which left the vehicle with a 1/2"...

Do any of you plan to attend the annual Northwest Overland Rally in June? For those not aware of this, it's in Plain, WA. Here is the website with dates, ticket sales and list of events: https://overlandadventurerallies.com/nwor/

I had the Corsa cat-back single turn down for the 2.7 on my Bronco. I had liked the sound clips I had heard, but in real life it was extremely loud and also it sounded like complete crap. It lasted two weeks on my Bronco before it got replaced. I now have the Borla cat-back touring climber...

I called Ford Performance and they said it's in the works and it will be 2 to 3 months before its avaialble for the 2023.

A 3rd brake light extension from Rough Country is $30, and if fixes the issue.

Located in Federal Way and we do a lot of backwoods driving off of 410 and 90. Always up for a group event.
