I was doing my usual "1st of the month" vehicle checks and pulled the dip stick on my 2.7. Much to my surprise, it was waaaaaay over the full mark. I wiped off the stick 4 times to confirm i'm not crazy, and it's been parked for 24 hours.
I text this photo to my dealer (who shall remain...
Since picking up this bronco I've been extremely happy with it. Road manners dominate the JLUR I traded in (I have other posts about that).
But, since I picked this up in November, I haven't been able to do much "dry trail" wheeling. All our seasonal access trails are well...closed. But I...
so i went snow bashing for the 2nd time yesterday. and for the 2nd time in the snow i got the "service sta-bar" message.
now that all the wetness has dried off and i am not laying in a puddle. i found a very lose wiring harness that fell off as soon as i touched it:
i plugged back in...
Figured I'd test out the Bronco with a 6x12 cargo trailer for a local scout troop i've been a part of for decades. It's a 22 badsquatch, lux, tow, you get the point. Here's a pic without the Andersen weight distribution hooked up. it doesn't look like it, but the bronco squatted about 1 1/4...
just curious if "police idle" permanently shuts off the 30 minute max idle? often times when out on offroad recoveries, we're doing heavy winching. This puts a strain on your battery. I know you can just go in and toggle it off for that "session" per say, but it auto enables next restart.

So I traded in my JLUR on this 2022 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch. I checked basically every box except leather and the modular bumper.
I have installed a JCR Vanguard bumper and ACC relocation (drops the module like 1 inch or so) and it works perfectly.
I went out of state for Thanksgiving and...
I yanked my 6 gauge wire out of my jeep before I traded it in. I have plans to put a shelf in the back with a DC to DC converter to charge a Lithium Battery. I will have my ARB Twin back there, and distribution for a fridge and ham radio.
Ran the wire through the firewall:
It runs along the...
Finally had some time to tear into my bronco mods a bit! Up first was a JCR Vanguard front bumper with Adaptive Cruise relocation bracket.
And the next day (today) it was time to install the winch.
I wanted it on a 500 amp isolator, and the perfect thing on the bronco to trigger this is...

if you want to have some fun and type in the locations you hear on the automated trace toll free numbers for your broncos shipping via rail, this is a great map that shows you the main lines all over the US, and as you zoom in, you see secondary routes etc.

Did a wheeling trip today with some friends up Middle Saint Vrain and Coney Flats in Boulder County, Colorado.
Spotted two broncos, a 2 door, and a 4 door at the deep water crossing located at 40.13035, -105.57670. Thought you might want to see them in the wild! Can't wait to get mine...
Called ford yesterday to chat about my order. #1 just to make sure it was still in there, and #2 to try to find some kind of answer as to when they think I might be getting a VIN/build date.
Keep in mind, I'm not a reservation holder. I placed a 2022 order in early November 2021. One of the...
