Let's say you wanted to get a set of 315/70R/17 tires in Load C. The primary use will be rock-crawling and trails up to level 6-7 (basically the most a Badlands on 315s should be doing). These will not be used as daily drivers.
Let's say you have one perfectly good (no mileage) OEM Goodyear...
I figured this could be a thread where we help each other with ideas. Post a Bronco feature you feel you aren't using enough and others can provide some ideas with how to use it better.
I'll start with: Molle panels. The idea of this sounded cool to me, but I haven't been able to think of how I...
I made a couple of mistakes and accidentally set a record for most air in a Bronco on The Staircase at Hell's Revenge in Moab, Utah. My friend describes what he saw at the end. This video includes POV from the dash-mounted GoPro as well as from a friend standing on the hill. I still get anxious...
I have a 12v air compressor that seems to use the oddball connector for the hose that is supplied with it. It looks like a slightly modified 1/4" NPT male plug, but it's not quite it. I took it off, hoping I could replace it with a 1/4" NPT, but the thread pitch is different.
I'd like to get an...
I recently to a trip to a state park that required a dune flag (Sand Hollow State Park). I bought a flag, not thinking that it wouldn't be mount-ready. For the trip, we rigged up something behind the spare tire, but that left me trying to decide where I should mount it in the future. I have the...
Look at this 60th anniversary Mustang instrument cluster (all digital) that Ford is providing to Mustang owners (for free!) as an over-the-air update:
Wouldn't it be awesome if Ford offered something like that for us Bronco people?
Of course, some of the accessory gauges would need to go on...
I've been teaching my son off-reading, and yesterday, we got to 26 degrees of roll, which feels a lot more tipped than it looks. 😆 At the Off-Roadeo, the instructor told me our Broncos were tested to 40 degrees. First, can anyone verify that? Second, how far have you gotten? It helps to know the...
I don't really anticipate the need for extra gas, but it's always a nice bit of peace of mind when out in the middle of nowhere. I've seen the gas cans that can attach to the Bronco with some other add-ones, but they seem to get pretty expensive. I'm not convinced $200-250+ meets the...
I'm looking at getting the Ford splash guards with my FordPass points. However, the instructions online appear that I need to drill something to install them (particularly the front). I'm wondering if that is the case and if it's just a plastic part that needs to be drilled or any part that I...
I had my wheels and tires swapped out and while taking the wheels out of the back, we found this part laying between the two rear seats. I can’t figure out what it is or more importantly, where it goes. I don’t see anything disconnected anywhere. Anyone know what this is and where it goes? It’s...
Installed the Heritage graphics as step 1 of the conversion process. I've got white wheels waiting for tires to get back in stock. Then I need to figure out how I'm going to do the top in white. Paint? Wrap? Line-X or similar? Finally, I'm trying to track down a Heritage grille to paint white...
I saw the Broncos in person for the first time today and couldn't help but notice there were some measurements nobody has taken:
The distance from the left edge of the volume dial to the right edge of the tuner dial is 5 1/4".
The distance from the top latch to the bottom bolt of the tailgate...
Went to see the Broncos today, in person, finally! Glad we did because the color we picked did not sit well with my wife. Originally, we had picked Cactus Grey from those first promo photos where it looked so amazing to everyone. Then, when the later photos came out, we decided on Area51. The...
This article is about engine technology Ford is working on to achieve up to 23% better fuel efficiency. The Bronco isn't specifically mentioned, but it's not hard to connect the dots and see it applying to the Bronco. I thought it was interesting...
How extreme are you going to take your Bronco?
Level 1: Only the smoothest roads and mall parking lots for me!
Level 2: I'll manage the potholes
Level 3: Smooth and well-maintained unpaved roads
Level 4: Ruts and washboards are OK
Level 5: Some of the rocky and rough stuff
Level 6...
