  1. 4 years in, finally see a crack in hardtop!

    At least you don’t have an exploding sunroof Car Sunroofs Keep ‘Spontaneously’ Exploding—and the Problem Is Getting Worse

  2. SURVEY: Are 8 GOAT modes necessary

    One more thing not in these tables that is apparently controlled only by GOAT mode is "Brake Over Accelerator". Per the manual, "Brake Over Accelerator" is disabled in all off-road GOAT modes (Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock, Baja). Disabling BOA should be helpful if you're doing left-foot braking to...

  3. 4A acting like 4H, binding while turning on dry pavement

    Good video on the topic in this thread https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/why-4a-is-your-fords-friend.109916/

  4. What Made You Fall in Love With Off-Roading?

    Back in the 60's - when my granda took me hunting offroad in the East Texas woods in his F250 - the best part was when we got stuck and he winched us out.

  6. Recall 26S55: 2021-2026 Bronco - Engine Compartment Wiring Harness Repair [July 23, 2026] -- 590,000k units affected

    In the meantime...double-checked the gauge on my fire extinguisher.

  7. BWI Bronco Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Technical Information

    Bummer that should be enough. You may want to try to switch off, back up, level wheels, then drive back on to ensure it wasn't already disconnected when you drove up on the rock?

  8. BWI Bronco Stabilizer Bar Disconnect Technical Information

    Forgive me for asking the obvious, but I have to ask to eliminate the possibility: Are you on flat ground? If so, nothing will happen. With sta-bar connected, need to drive onto something with ONE front wheel higher than the other. Then flip the switch (disconnect sta-bar) and you'll see the...

  9. Ford rehires ‘gray beard’ engineers after AI falls short

    At the expert direction of a graybeard

  10. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    Ah ok...I just noticed that Sport and Baja are also 'Tight' to offer similar slower response ('tightness') at speed, which makes sense. I apologize for my confusion :crazy:. I'll just have to be gentle with the steering in MUD mode on the rocks, or finally cave in and get Forscan.

  11. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    One more thing not in the chart... "Brake Over Accelerator" is disabled in all off-road GOAT modes (Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock, Baja)...important if you're doing left-foot braking to help control throttle response when crawling.

  12. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    Thanks. Not sure where that chart comes from, but looks reasonable. Per the chart, MUD = similar throttle response as NORMAL, softer steering, and softer trans (delayed upshifts). That seems to be what I experienced between MUD and NORMAL. Also per the chart, ROCK has softer throttle...

  13. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    The throttle input part makes no sense - mud/ruts mode actually lowers accelerator pedal responsiveness and delays transmission upshifts - opposite of sports mode. Respectfully, where did you get your information? As for steering output, I'll just steer a little slower in high traction...

  14. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    Full OEM skids are $870 on Ford Accessories site (2-door: MB3Z5D032D , 4-door: MB3Z5D032E). You could also look at lighter weight and/or more protection alternatives, like Talon's garage. Ford Bronco Skid Plates – Talons Garage . You'll also need to consider sliders if it doesn't already have...

  15. How often do you use electronic stabilizer bar disconnect

    For those thinking about adding the OEM stabar disconnect: there are two solenoids that are energized to enable the disconnect - those should be wired in series (not in parallel) to the aux switch circuit used.
