Those are impressive numbers, especially Bronco setting another sales record and outselling the Wrangler in Q2. It's good to see Ford continuing to invest in the Bronco lineup, but I just hope they put the same emphasis on long-term quality, parts availability, and dealer service. Strong sales...

This looks amazing! How many miles does it have on it?

I'm interested in this as well. I'd be hesitant to grind down the Yakima T-slot bolts unless there's still plenty of material left for strength. It might be worth looking at generic M6 T-slot hardware that's made for 80/20 or aluminum extrusion systems, as some of those have smaller heads that...

That definitely sounds frustrating, especially after just getting it back from the body shop. If the humming changes with fan speed and is present with both A/C and heat, I'd also be leaning toward the blower motor or something rubbing against the blower wheel. It's possible some debris got into...

That's definitely something I'd want to address before it gets any worse. Touch-up paint followed by a small piece of PPF around the mounting points sounds like a solid preventative fix. I'm curious if this is caused by slight movement of the rear cap during installation or if the brackets are...

For me, the perfect trail day starts early with scenic mountain trails, a few technical sections to keep things interesting, and ends at a quiet overlook for lunch before heading back. My must-have gear would be recovery boards, a quality air compressor, tire repair kit, recovery straps, first...

I've been looking at the same setup. My biggest concern is whether the 270 awning has enough clearance to fully deploy with the rooftop tent open, or if the tent overhang gets in the way. If anyone is running the Openroad 270 with a GOBI rack and RTT, I'd love to see a few photos and hear how...

Congrats on the new Bronco! Given your experience with the Expedition, I can definitely understand wanting the extended coverage. I'd shop around before buying from the selling dealer—many Ford dealers will sell genuine Ford ESP plans at different prices, although I know California has some...

That's a great question, and one I've wondered about too. My understanding is that the HOSS 3.0 package includes more than just a heavier-duty steering rack, but I haven't found anything from Ford confirming whether they actually changed the steering axis geometry to maintain a similar scrub...

I've been wondering about this as well. From what I've read, plenty of people run the MR703s without hub centric rings and rely on properly torquing the lug nuts, but I'd still prefer using rings if the correct size is available. I'm curious whether anyone has noticed a difference in vibration...

That's interesting. I haven't experienced it myself, but I'd be curious if it's related to the door-ajar logic or another system check that runs when the doors are removed. If the pedal feels normal as soon as the engine starts and everything goes back to normal with the doors reinstalled, it...

Interesting findings. Since restoring the original tire circumference immediately clears the codes, it almost seems like Ford added additional validation on the 2025 models. I haven't seen many confirmed reports of 2025 owners successfully changing the tire circumference through FORScan alone...

I've been curious about this upgrade too. On paper it seems like a nice plug-and-play solution for the base audio system without having to completely rewire the truck. I'd love to hear from anyone who's installed it—especially whether the improvement in clarity and bass is noticeable enough to...

That's frustrating, especially after the truck spent six weeks at the dealer. If it's still leaking immediately after a header seal replacement, I'd be wondering whether the issue is actually panel alignment, roof fitment, or another seal higher up that's allowing water to migrate to the header...

Nice upgrade path to consider! If you're aiming for the Sasquatch look, the factory setup is 35" tires (315/70R17) on 17" wheels. The good news is that many Bronco owners run 35s on a non-Sasquatch Big Bend without adding a lift, though wheel offset and tire choice can affect rubbing at full...
