The winch is on! It's been waiting for me for a little while. My plates aren't in yet to fill the front mount, but the whole package looks gorgeous. I also picked up an ARB 20,000# snatch block for a screamin' deal to help jumpstart my recovery accessory hoard.
My winch kit has been sitting around waiting for install while my Bronco was being delivered. I finally got an appointment to get the two put together.
Like many other posters, I received the Ford Performance fairlead along with the Warn one. I opted to use the included front plate mount...
The Ford Performance one says Ford Performance on it, which is big ups in my book.
One forum user (don't recall who) had an issue with the FP cover leaking through the casting of the housing around the logo.
The Everglades graphics and wheels look very nice with that color.
How are you liking the Rokblokz flaps? How was the install? I just ordered a set of the non-Squatch size.
Now it's actually mine! Played with it just about all day and got a little off the road. Scheduled an appointment to have the winch installed. Tonight I'm ordering mudflaps!
It's finally here! Unfortunately, it seems the techs cut out for the day before finishing the tow package install. I at least got to touch it, sit in it, and start it up. Paperwork's all done, so back tomorrow, I hope!
I'm not sure I even want to know how you made your 2dr 5800lbs. I have eyed 5.38s lustfully but never even considered throwing a big turbo on this 2.3. I think the 2.3 is the better motor - based on the old Ford/Mazda Duratecs, rather than Ford's problematic clean sheet designs.
I hope you can...
They are numerous on this forum, not least on the "scraping/grinding noise" thread over in the Issues forum. My '24 is coming with a 7MT. They have been offered continuously.
Losing the Standard package on 2 trims feels like a bit of a rip. '24 getting the 12" screen for all trims was a great value play - now you're forced to get the trim level that would have included it anyway. The packages really aren't that compelling, other than locking an auto-dimming mirror...
Now I can sell my '24 Badlands as "RARE COLOR!" +$5000.
I'm ambivalent about a lot of these changes. Foxes on Badlands is cool but it's unfortunate they're locked behind the Sasquatch package that's a bit of a waste on a Badlands anyway.
Not a great day for 2-doors but that Stroppe does look...
I can't really stand Fallon personally, but I hope the big ad spend means big things for 2025 and onward.
Does anyone remember how Ford turned half of House MD into an informercial?
