  1. New California Replacement Tire Standards [⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    This may be a nothingburger for now, but those of us in California have enough battle scars to be suspicious. A quick rundown of how we are being "protected": CARB spouts, which generate far more VOC vapor via spillage than they prevent Cannot buy nation-wide extended warranty from Grainger...
  2. Bronco Pickup Truck coming in future. Hybrid Bronco arrives 2027

    Hopefully the Bladiator is not fugly like its Jeep sibling when/if it arrives. Not that I have any plans to buy it. But if a hybrid does arrive and is meaningfully better mpg I may consider updating. My bronco is a DD and sub-18 mpg is no fun at the pump.
  3. Bilstein 6112 suspension review / experience on Badlands Sasquatch Bronco

    I have 6112s on my non-Sas 23 BD, installed free courtesy of Bilstein, 2" lift over stock non-SAS. Love them. At the time the broncos were in short supply, they needed a fitment testbed and in exchange for loaning them the Bronco for a week they gave me a rental and installed the 6112s for...
  4. Fix for jingly JTOPS zippers?

    This looks like a canvas top, not a mesh top. The zipper pulls on mine are SUBSTANTIALLY larger.
  5. Fix for jingly JTOPS zippers?

    Since the built-in search is pathetic I googled it, found these threads From 2022: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/jtops-4-door-hardtop-mesh-bimini-review.51503/ @JTopsUSA responded to a message in this thread without ever addressing the floppy zipper handles. Identical complaint...
  6. Fix for jingly JTOPS zippers?

    First thing I tried . Does not last even 5 mins.
  7. Fix for jingly JTOPS zippers?

    Installed a JTOPS sunshade over the weekend. Quality product through and through, once you see it you understand why it is 3x-5x more expensive that most bungee based solutions. However, there is an extremely annoying quirk - the zipper pulls in the front hang down and jingle as the top...
  8. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Had to wait for my Jtops Velcro to cure so I went for a ride with the only being, other than my mother, who loves me unconditionally. Sound on 😂
  9. How long before you let someone else drive your Bronco?

    The answer depends on whether I am getting laid or not :D
  10. Audio Upgrade Sound Deadening - worth the cost & time to install ??

    In order to access the rear speaker and amp you need to remove all the plastic. At that point adding sound deadening is very low effort, even if it does absolutely nothing. I used Kilmat, which is more reasonably priced https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082Q2J2T4 Hard to say if it made a difference.
  11. What tires does everyone run?

    KOs for the past 15 years. Currently KO3, C load, 33 inch. Anything bigger or heavier than that is compensatong for a deficiency elsewhere 😜
  12. Creative Solutions to level the Cargo Lip for Sleeping

    On short trips I use this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3HQY5PP On long trips I stick two Dometic 3gal water containers in the gap https://www.rei.com/product/210821/dometic-go-hydration-water-jug-11-liters29-gal
  13. Creative Solutions to level the Cargo Lip for Sleeping

    I have the DeepSleep leveing mats. They work well, and unlike their mats, are not ridiculously sized and roll down to the size of a sleeping pad. I use them all the time, together with a cheap self inflating foam mat from Amazon. I also use a cheap inflatable gap filler for the space between...
  14. Updated experience with the CARABC 12 inch upgrade?

    Yes I saw this video but it is a very atypical experience. His upgrade worked without an APIM swap. From what I have been able to gather this only works if you use CarPlay, which is more graceful about resolution rescaling. Here is another one that describes a rather different situation, more...
  15. Updated experience with the CARABC 12 inch upgrade?

    The confusion in this thread is partially user error, partially insufficient documentation from CarAbC. They sell kits that are bezel only, bezel + screen, and bezel + AIPM. They do ask for your VIN to so the AIPM programming
