Worst scenario would be to spring for the DV8 metal tub, with its larger size and and higher cost, but inability to melt. I also have the ARB single in my engine bay, and it gets quite hot during inflation, along with the fittings. Compressing air produces heat, true for all my previous...

Your comment on starting with Sasquatch: back in early 2021, many of us were ordering our Broncos without having seen one, driving one, or having user data on SAS vs non-SAS, since we were the first to own. I ended up ordering a rear-locker 4.27 OBX, not wanting the expected low MPG and rough...

So, are you were saying goodbye to the Expedition? Nice story!

My OBX upgrade to Badlands takeoff wheels with Nitto Nomad Grapplers 285/70R17 cost me 2mpg overall over 28,000 miles with the 33" tires. I bought those because they are quiet, great traction and great for beach use. I assume the KO2 tire will be noisier, and more capable off road if you need...

Gas mileage after tire upsizing seems somewhat underreported, so I'm glad you measured it and reported it. Each tire size does seem to have a cost. When I went from the stock OBX 32" tires to 33" Nitto Nomad Grapplers, it cost me 2 mpg average over 28,000 miles. Your move from 33's to 35's seems...

Your concern is legitimate, but it was also my concern and I took steps to mitigate it. The straps are upgraded, custom built full rubber (in mote photos), and there are three hold down points at the front. The way the clamp brackets reach down into the TrailRax rack, it's very tight and helps...

Like I said, "on the beach!" (20mph) Is perfect for that set up. Highway? Web straps. Overall, that's why I got a Skyrider. The point of the post was to illustrate stackability for efficiency in hardtop storage.

I think @huey summed it up well. If you're looking to compact lifting or storage, the midpanel will store nicely on a TrailRax half-rack on the rear cap. You could hoist it that way. Maybe front panels in bag on top if you have the garage height. I drove on the beach like that before Skyrider...

I've been looking for a crossbar that would attach to my front windshield, to support a long board or a kayak that is principly attached to the half rack on my rear cap. What you show, by itself, it seems like it would blow right off without a mechanical fastener or a second attachment to the...

Most MIC tops are quite good. A few are not. You'll only read about the bad ones here. My October, 2021 MIC replacement top has been flawless for 50,000 miles. Other Bronco owners I meet also have no complaints. You'll also read about wind noise, which you've experienced. But, now that I've...

Good use of OBX take-offs! Glad you survived, that's pretty traumatic.

1. I mean that, before I got the Skyrider, I used three x long bungee cords to place the midpanel on the half-rack while I was riding on the beach. The front panels stored behind the front seats ( no rear passenger). 2. For the PakRak (side saddles) you do have to take the rear cap off, install...

Recent "Works" at the Ford Dealer, the Quick Lane manager reported that the pads are "just a little worn" and no where near replacement. Rotors fine. I've got 50,000 miles in 2.5 years on my non-SAS OBX. Locsl, highwar & beach off-roading. Upgraded at 25,000 miles to 33" Badlands take-offs...

With the OBX, You can no longer get the Adv Transfer case, as an option for non-,SAS, which has 4A which can be run full time If you like. That and the 4.27 Rear axle with lockers are the best part of my 2021 non-SAS OBX. Those rear lockers are perfect for the beach; the 4A is great for rain...

What do you mske of these numbers? If I'm reading this right, it's interesting to me that 1. 75% of unscheduled Broncos have a Hard Top (no shortage anymore?) 2. Outer Banks is still the most-produced trim (21%) 3. More people are ordering 4cyl (55%) than 6cyl (55%) engine. Why? To Save money...

Now that's nice customer service!

Gotcha! Are those the MT "AT" or the "MT"? How's the noise? Ride?

It's beautiful in the snow. Why not use a set of good, old fashioned chains in that area?

Thanks for the write-up, @RagnarKon. It's nice to be shown how this works, and for some to know it's available. When I was young, I would occasionally lock myself out of My vehicle, so began to use a magnetic key holder to hide a key. When Ford started with these unlock buttons a couple of...
