I suspect the lack of aftermarket is due to there being such an assortment of factory grilles that are easily swapped. If you like the gloss black Wildtrak version, check either local junkyards (auto recyclers) or online at a place like car-part dot Com. Lots of totalled Broncos out there...

If you watch the video that @Sunday Money posted you'll see there was significantly more vehicles involved. This was a flood event and what you see is the aftermath. It's how and where the water left them. The majority probably had no drivers at the time and were just swept away.

Posi-traction being explained by an expert witness in court testimony

Particularly for those of that are on the older side of life, we remember when 'posi' quickly became a generic term for all limited slip axles, despite the manufacturer. Its just easier to say and everyone knows what you mean. Kind of like Kleenex, Xerox, Q-tip, etc.

Welcome! Nice looking rig! Beautiful part of the state you're in, though I rarely get off pavement when Im there. Usually just passing through (just how the locals like it 😂 ). You'll find lots of helpful info in these forums. You'll also find the Bronco is just as capable, if not more so...

No.

I prefer Les Schwab for tires. All-in pricing is comparable, warranty included, and they have highly trained techs. But they're a regional 'western U.S.' company, so not available to everyone. Costco would be my 2nd choice. Back in my serious penny pinching days, Discount Tire was my go to...

Is the issue that you don't know how to put it on or just that it's too heavy/large/awkward to do by yourself? If you're confident in how it should be installed, or have instructions, and just need extra hands - Do you have a friend that can help? Or hire a 'handyman' from someplace like...

Not a fix, but a workaround... Open your door slightly then shut it. You will then get the "press ok" prompt to clear the message.

I hear ya! 💯 Modern vehicles are intentionally prohibitive for DIY’ers to perform many repairs. And agreed, the electronics coverage alone can make extra coverage worthwhile. Full disclosure – that is precisely why I added a ‘wrap’ product when I purchased my Bronco. In my area, it is common...

I assure you I type every word of my responses. All responses. For every post I make. Not sure what about it 'screams AI'. And now im stuck wondering if me sounding like AI is a good thing or a bad thing. Or maybe AI just sounds like me, a mere mortal. 🤔 I am not a robot. Beep, Boop, Beep 🤖

One option - take the $ you would spend on an extended warranty and put it in a money market or mutual fund account. When your factory warranty expires, you'll have a nice little nest egg to cover any unexpected repairs. If you're intent on purchasing a warranty, know what you're getting...

Nice pics, love the doggo! Sounds like a fun trip! Death Valley is such a beautiful place. One minor nitpick, however... You were not on i-95. You were on U.S. Highway (Route) 95. And while that highway does go through multiple states, it is not part of the 'interstate' freeway system which is...

I believe you're confusing two different plans, both offered by Granger. What you pictured is from "Granger Warranty", and is a 3rd party extended warranty. It is NOT a Ford warranty. Being a dealer, Granger Ford also sells Ford ESP, which is kind of like a warranty, but really is just...
