  1. Skid plate suggestions for non - rock crawler

    My base 2 door came with OEM steel front bash plate (part of the Mod Bumper option) and the steel gas tank skids. I added the OEM steel transfer case skid, and an aftermarket aluminum transmission skid from Mabett. I do mostly light off roading (sand, dirt vs. rocks) and this has been an...
  2. Is an electric Bronco in the works for the US market?

    Yeah, the EV Error might get a second look. Given the fact that gas prices are starting to…trump…the negative aspects of EV.
  3. 2027 Bronco Changes Spied

    They can make incremental changes to ā€œugly it upā€ with things like those disgusting wheels. But I’m sure the fit/finish/quality will still be on par with a 2009 Chevy Aveo. So that’s good news, right?
  4. Who hasn't had any cracks with their hardtops?

    2023 2-door. Cracks appeared at ~38k miles - just out of warranty. Nice work, Ford! Perfectly engineered and constructed to be ā€œsome else’s problem.ā€
  5. Car Care Nut (mechanic) review of 6G Bronco

    The interior of my ā€˜23 Bronco isn’t even in the same ballpark as my wife’s ā€˜23 4Runner. For that matter, neither is my mom’s Lincoln. I’ve heard the 6th gen (2025+) 4Runner interiors feel cheaper. But our 5th gen feels very solid, durable, and well designed. The Bronco interior is trash. I’m...
  6. EPIC Roadie Removable Arm Rest for Bronco!

    $125 for this. Or Ford could just make the touch points comfortable in the first place. 🤷
  7. Trail ride today, does this tire look ok?

    How much does a beat up old 911 cost? More than a Bronco Raptor?
  8. What’s the ONE piece of advice you’d give to a new Bronco owner?

    Try to have fun with it, in spite of the fact that it is likely the most poorly-engineered, shoddily-built vehicle you’ll ever own. Oh, and when you need those inevitable repairs, just know that Ford’s service departments are the pinnacle of incompetence and carelessness. Just today I picked...

  10. Roof Rack storage configurations - what's yours?

    That was my logic as well. Nothing touches my top except water and soap. Then, at 38k miles (how convenient) the cracks started. Now I’m like ā€œF*** it, not even babying these things will make up for Ford’s bad design.ā€ So, it looks like about $700 to Line-X and then I’m gonna get a rack and load...
  11. Roof Rack storage configurations - what's yours?

    Family of four. Three weeks from Detroit to Seattle and back. No camping but I still think this was pretty good/minimal in a 2 door.
  12. Would you cancel a road trip this weekend with a Badlands (in forecasted winter storm)?

    I wouldn’t cancel. I’d be more excited about the trip.
  13. High winch mount by Rough Country - how was installation?

    Minimal. Pulled out a large lilac root ball last summer. Made easy work of that and I was pulling from straight ahead, so no stress on the mount to speak of. Other than that, I’ve pre-tensioned the line on the drum a couple times after rinsing dirt/sand that collects on the outer wind of the...
  14. High winch mount by Rough Country - how was installation?

    Pretty well, I’d say. In spring 2025 (after the first winter), I noticed a few spots of rust starting on the welds. There were also a few rock chips on the face of the winch mount. I hit these with a brush wheel and a few sprays of flat rust oleum and it was good. Just washed the whole rig...
