  1. How common are cracking issues on latest hardtops?

    There are plenty of us that have no issues. 2022 that lives outside 100% of the time and it is fine. Will it be that way forever, maybe not but no issues so far.
  2. Towing recommendations/solutions?

    I think I used Curt on my '22, both hitch and wiring. Works great and no issues. I'm not integrated with any control module so if there is sway control assist then I don't get that. Just lights and the ability to pull the trailer which is all I need.
  3. Hardtop vs. Soft Top — What are you running this summer? ☀️🏜️

    Hard top...I'd be one of those weirdos that would be fine with a fixed hard top (i.e. non-removable). My '75 has a steel top that has never been removed. I've had soft top vehicles and just don't care for them. Having dark hair meant that in the summer sun by brain felt like it was cooking.
  4. ARP Studs and Head Gasket Upgrades 2.3L???

    You didn't happen to do a side by side comparison between what you pulled off vs the new version did you? Just curious. Also forgive me if you already said, were you running a tune and/or mods or just stock? Just trying to learn from others.
  5. ARP Studs and Head Gasket Upgrades 2.3L???

    What head gasket do you go back with? Stock?
  6. Hitch wiring installer other than dealer?

    I did it myself. No programming but the vehicle won't know if a trailer is attached.
  7. Bronco Hybrid Confirmed! by Ford CEO Jim Farley (4/2/26)

    Too many humbugs...I welcome another drivetrain option in the Bronco. I'd like see the Bronco line be sustainable and investment by Ford in developing new drivetrains is a good thing. If tuned for it, a hybrid drivetrain to support overlanding would be great. No I won't be buying one...I'll...
  8. Mushy long travel brake pedal 2.3L

    Welcome to the world of vacuum boosted brakes. Just press, release, then press again and you have the brake pedal feel that you want. For an emergency, the first press will get you stopped just with some extra pedal travel. My Ford based RV brakes in a similar fashion. You can develop muscle...
  9. [UPDATE] Broaddict Slide-Out Tailgate Drawer for Bronco 2-Door!

    Flush to slide in heavy things. I won't sleep in mine camping but if I did that would be another reason. It would be silly to have it shorter than the folded seats creating that 0.71" step up.
  10. Tested: Cold Start Oil Pressure with 5W oil at -15F / -26C

    As a tangential data point, Ford tests all their vehicles and engines down to -40F on a routine basis during development. This includes their drivetrain test cells and climatic tunnels, all of which have 4 wheel dynos.
  11. Is there a complete 2-Door Bronco models/trims comparison chart?

    I'm partial to the 2 door OBX with Squatch. Best of a lot of worlds. Shadow black so even the grille matches.
  12. How common are cracking issues on latest hardtops?

    Update for my '22 2-door. At 28,000 miles where it lives 100% outside, no issues so far. Hand wash only and no wax.
  13. Dead Electronics 💀 - at the dealer for a week+

    For me it was a '77 CJ7, fixed with a block of wood and some rope. I'll say...I don't miss it.
  14. Just Tired of my 2022 Base Sasquatch Problems

    That is tough. Sorry to hear of your problems but I agree it would be hard to trust a vehicle that has had multiple issues. My 2022 Squatched OBX has been trouble free for 26k, even after being in an accident that took it off the road for a couple of months. Sometimes you have one build on a...
  15. UGH! MIC Top cracking

    Captain Obvious - ouch! That isn't good. I would love to have the MOD top as an option to replace the MIC top. So far I've only seen the MIC top for a 4 door available on the Ford parts website.
  16. Armadillo Designs Aluminum Hardtop

    Just to be clear...don't you mean MIC top? The MOD tops are painted and so far I've heard nothing negative about them.
  17. Windrock Fall has fell 2025

    Nice. It has been a while since being there for me. The first time I went was probably 25 years ago when it hadn't been open that long.
  18. Ford claims flat towing our 4 mo. old Bronco destroyed the transmission (not covering under warranty)

    No matter what responses you get, there is no way I would flat tow that Bronco again. I agree that Ford has an issue with SOME Broncos and flat towing, but is not being transparent enough for the average person to determine is it safe or not. Just my opinion. I sprung for a dedicated toad for...
  19. Bronco Towing: Is flat towing better than dolly or trailer??

    It depends on what you are towing it for. With an RV, flat towing is by far the easiest to live with. If I am taking my Bronco to trail ride or other and pulling with a truck then a trailer would be my preference. Having said that, I own a Bronco and have a dedicated other vehicle for flat...
  20. Battery life?

    Battery life depends a lot on how you use the vehicle. Number of starts per day, length of time running per start, amount of time without running, etc. Mine is a daily and I drive to work 4 times a week at 20 min of driving per start. No extended time without running longer than 1 week. My...
