  1. Active Shutters malfunctioning?

    Update. No out of position or timed out codes recorded. The service tech using his laptop, cycled the shutters from full stop open to full stop closed several times and that seemed to reset them.
  2. Active Shutters malfunctioning?

    Hey everybody, My 22 BD 2.3 has started doing something new. Previous to 3 weeks ago, the shutters would close fully at startup and open completely at shutdown. Now the shutters, both upper and lower, remain at about one quarter open all the time. Has anyone encountered this issue? Will a code...
  3. New 17" Sinister Bronze Wheels Kit from Ford Performance for Bronco

    Don't forget the bronze horse on the tailgate to complete the look. Nice looking ride!
  4. Best real-world MPG achieved?

    Got 24 mpg on a 5-state road trip late September. Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Colorado. 7 MT, 2.3. Stayed in 5th gear and around 68-69 mph which is about 2500 rpm. Very little turbo engagement. And every fill up was 91 octane.
  5. Best Place to order OEM parts?

    I've gotten parts from Sunrise Ford Parts in Fontana, CA. Always a good price. CJ Pony parts is a good place to buy too. They sell Ford Performance parts also.
  6. Don't forget to air down!

    For those times at the mall extra ground clearance is needed.
  7. Wide vs Narrow Tires for offroad performance -- a scientific comparison

    Back in the 70s and 80s, I saw pizza cutters before I knew what pizza cutters were. All farm trucks I saw, (F-150s, F-250s. etc.) had the narrowest, tallest tires possible. Farmers know what works the best.
  8. Bronco owner loses his mind after getting hit on Hell's Gate @ Moab. Are we better than this?

    An uncontrolled descent is never good. Could have had a much worse outcome. Some trails don't have any options like this. Thankfully nobody was hurt. Seems like panic inside freefalling Jeep. Panic inside Jeep that was missed. And panic inside Bronco. I get the Bronco drivers response if he had...
  9. Do you use wheel locks?

    Same here. Plus factory wheel locks.
  10. Tire rotation - include 5th wheel / spare tire?

    Ditto. All 5, every 5.
  11. Mudflaps (yes I've searched and can't find a good answer)

    Love the quick detach feature for rock crawling.
  12. Grinch Green a new color for MY2025??

    This color is almost like those Filson Forest Service renderings from years ago.
  13. What lettering have you done on your white grills?

    Bronze letters w/ red R. Also did the bronze horse on tailgate. And the FP Sinister Bronze wheels.
  14. Not into that Jeep duck thing, but…

    A couple of weeks ago I was stopped at the top of Wilkerson Pass for a family rest break when a woman from Colorado Springs approached with this velco patch. Saw that we were from KS and wanted to make Bronco friends with us. She was driving a Black 4dr Bronco with her dog Maple. The patch is...
  15. New 17" Sinister Bronze Wheels Kit from Ford Performance for Bronco

    I'll find out in July when I go to Colorado. My previous trip was with the stock black steelies that came with my BD.
  16. New 17" Sinister Bronze Wheels Kit from Ford Performance for Bronco

    From the machined outer rim, the phone dials are inset about 1/2" before flaring back out to the inner lip ring surrounding the lug nuts to almost match the outer rim.
  17. Ford Performance Air/Oil Separator

    Did an oil change 500 miles ago. The FP 2.3 Separator was installed about 2k miles before change and it had maybe a half a teaspoon of oily/watery sludge in it. Wiped it out. Re-installed. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 full syn oil w/ Wix 51348XP filter. And run either 93 or 91 fuel. See...
  18. Ford Performance by Borla 2.3 high clearance axle back exhaust system installed review

    The stock can weight is a little over 21 pounds and the shipping weight on the FP can is 37 pounds. More weight to create the dual exhaust look. Tucks up really nice behind rear diff and above bumper. Maybe 4 inches. The tow hooks are now the lowest below the bumper.
  19. Manny tranny owners, would you do it again?

    Yup. Only way for me too. MT in C or 1st, 4L and rear locker (BD trim) engaged = rock crawling heaven. Can't wait for the snow to melt in CO for my July fly fishing trip.
