  1. Lowest cost 2024 Wrangler vs Bronco - $32k vs $39k

    At introduction the Bronco was competitive with Wrangler in terms of entry level price. In fact Ford beat Jeep in terms of price/features. But fast forward to 2024, build and price is showing $7k extra to get into the most basic offered Bronco compared to Wrangler. :( $28k is what got me into...
  2. Raccoon and mice invade Bronco engine bay

    Last week my son started our Bronco - and a raccoon scampered out of the engine bay! Looks like the raccoon was sleeping on top of the engine. Grimed it up with muddy paw prints and oily residue. Tore some foam insulation in various areas. Also must have got caught in the running serpentine...
  3. Broken plastic seat lever

    So far I'm happy with my Bronco, other than the plastic seat lever that broke first day. Anyone else have issues with this lever? I'm having to do the "steam punk" think with locking pliers, until the dealership can source a replacement. I could try to glue the broken part, but not convinced...
  4. Removing hardtop headliner

    Apparently my Bronco is getting built this week, and the sticker indicates it includes the headliner. I did NOT want that headliner. Has anyone tried to remove it? Man, I hope whatever glue they use is easy to remove, else it's going to be a mess. :(
  5. Advice regarding tire mount/balance?

    Anyone recommend a good shop for tire mount/balance? (I'm in Chicagoland area.) Is the so called "touchless" mount worthwhile to find? My wheels are used and have weights already stuck to them, but I should probably remove those weights, before getting the new tires mounted/balanced? Last time...
  6. Legality of Bronco camera display?

    Edit: sorry this should be in a different topic area While waiting for a Bronco, I've been spending time fixing my 1972 Land Rover. Because the Rover has only lap belts, I was trying (without much luck) to determine the exact legality/compliance with Illinois seat belt regulations. Anyway...
  7. 2-door Bronco in-person - awesome!

    Yesterday evening my son and I finally saw a 2-door Bronco in person, and even got a short test drive! (Thanks forum member Will2497 for cluing me in about a local dealership having one.) A couple months ago after a 4-door viewing event, I wrote Ford hit a home run. After now viewing and...
  8. Chicagoland Showing (Bronco = Awesome) + measured Sasquatch vs Badlands suspension height difference

    I saw the new Bronco (Saturday, April 24) at an event in the western suburbs of Chicago. Very impressed. In my opinion, Ford hit it out of the park . My angle? I'm a long time owner of open top 4x4s since 1989 (Jeep and Land Rover). I did a lot of off-roading while living out west. Majority...
  9. Will the new Bronco rat you out?

    Some people like to call this a "tin foil hat" concern. But in the news today, golfer Tiger Woods was recently in a crash, and looks like the authorities are wanting to look at what they are calling the vehicle "black box". (Article link below.) Specifically the authorities mention using the...
  10. Making sense of the top options

    Based on the info at the Ford site, looks like both the 2 and 4 door Bronco models have a one piece rear hardtop section (sides/top/rear window). And then the 2 door has one front section over the front seats. While the 4 door has two sections, one over front seats and one over the rear seats...
