  1. Rattling noise post brake/tire replacement

    Hi all, hoping someone will have some ideas on how to help me resolve this. I have a 2021 2dr Outer Banks with just under 56k miles. For the most part I’ve had zero issues with it. About a month ago I needed new tires and new brake pads and rotors in order to pass inspection. I had no rattle...
  2. Any new soft tops to compare to the Bestop Trektop?

    I have the Bestop on my 2dr and it definitely is super complicated the first installation but gets easier each time you do it. This was my third Spring switching over and it was fairly smooth going. I had my local dealer install the first time around and the main hardware stays on when you put...
  3. 2-door tonneau cover?

    Thanks. I “watched” it on eBay so they sent me a discount. Are you able to install the soft top over it while it’s still on or do you need to remove it when the full soft top sides and back are on?
  4. 2-door tonneau cover?

    How did that eBay cover work?
  5. Cargo Mat - Husky or Weathertech?

    I have the WT mats in the front and rear of my 2 door and would not recommend them. I find that they consistently come loose and slide around and I have to reattach the tabs. I don’t find them slippery - I just don’t think they fit that well.
  6. Happy medium? 275/70/r18 on OBX

    I’m still working on this. After searching for awhile I can’t seem to find a definitive answer - will 285s fit a 2 dr OBX. I’m thinking of going slightly bigger than my current 275s
  7. Happy medium? 275/70/r18 on OBX

    Following up on this thread. I have 275/65/18 Falken Wildpeaks on my 2 door OBX and after ~30k miles it looks like I'm in need of new tires before real winter hits in NY. I was pretty happy with them overall but concerned that they didn't last very long. What tires would the group recommend...
  8. Anyone drive in ECO mode on trips?

    I’ve used it on a few long trips (NY to VT, and NY to and from NC) with my two door. I had my roof platform and Thule roof box on for all of them so not true MPG but there was a ~2 MPG difference between eco and regular mode.
  9. 2 door Trektop installed & ready for summer

    I re-installed my 2 dr Trektop a few weekends ago and the good news is the second time around is much easier. Took me around an hour 15 mins (not counting removing the hardtop). Had some help from my son for the hardtop removal and putting the soft top in place. There are a few bolts that...
  10. Tonneau Cover for 2Dr?

    Honestly, when I had the cover off (the Jeep) it didn’t look even look close to being a possible fit and I forgot about coming back to post. The Jeep has since been traded in for a new car by my son so I can’t test it now unless he left the cover here. It wasn’t going to work and look good...
  11. 399 miles on “new” outer banks

    I haven’t read all the replies but I don’t believe this is true. I purchased my Bronco from a dealer in Maine and registered it in NY. It was a dealer demo with a lot more miles than 399 and it was registered in NY as a new vehicle and my warranty started from the date of delivery.
  12. Can you prepay or “pay off” your lease?

    As others have noted, once you set the lease terms you owe the amount due. Paying that amount in 36 payments or 1 doesn’t change the amount. Let’s say you do a 36 month lease and decide in month 2 you want to pay it off - they don’t discount the amount for you. You’d pay the full amount and...
  13. Bestop Trektop Review for 2021-2023 Ford Bronco

    Bestop answer some of the remarks/questions but: There is no sagging of the Bestop Trektop in the middle as noted above. It folds all the way back leaving both rows open and I can’t remember 1 time it blocked the rear view. It was the complete opposite of our Wrangler top, which always...
  14. Bestop Trektop Review for 2021-2023 Ford Bronco

    I have a two door OBX with the trektop. I did not notice a big difference in the noise levels when I changed over in the spring or back to the hardtop in Nov. We also had a dual top Wrangler and I thought the noise levels are much lower in the Bronco compared to that. I’m a big fan of the...
  15. Out of State Buying - Yes it is that easy.

    Did the same thing in Dec 21. Spent most of Nov/Dec searching, emailing and calling dealers across the country. Found several at msrp or just over, settled on one in Maine and the salesperson delivered it himself Christmas Eve.
