  1. Bestop Skyrider with TrailRax Half-Rack: Best of Both Worlds?

    There's a group of us early bronco owners that wanted both softtop and hardtop at the same time on our 4dr MIC top Broncos. We wanted the security of the rear MIC top cap but also a convertable top for the front two rows . . . A one-row Sunrider was not good enough, not enough openess. A...
  2. BuiltRight Plate Holder, Multi-Color OBX Grill Inserts

    Here are a couple of Outer Banks decorative projects. First, I bought the @BuiltRight Front license plate holder (plastic bumper version) for my beach buggy plate. Bolts on with the existing bumper bolt without penetrating plastic. Very nicely made, multiple mounting positions possible with all...
  3. White RMD Garage Bronco Nation Fender Badge on OBX

    Update: this badge is no longer available from Bronco Nation, but it is available from RMD Garage, the original Designer/Mfgr. Also, since I posted this, a member on a facebook site showed a pic of paint quality issues he had, which may be why it was discontinued. Lucky I repainted mine! Like...
  4. OBX Grill Insert Painting as Easy (Reversible) Decoration

    I like the white Heritage accents, but I dont want a white top since I have a Seasonal twill Skyrider and a black roof rack. I want to keep the OBX white letters. I also like my simple pin stripe. So I experimented with painting the Black OBX grill inserts (Oxford White spray can). Its an Idea...
  5. SAE J-2807 Tow Standards

    Towing is something many of us do or have done, and anyone who has towed on the open road or launched at a boat ramp knows that there are alot of variables and alot that can go wrong. There has been much discussion here about Bronco tow capacity, and lots of wisdom, but I haven't seen reference...
  6. 10R60 or 10R80 transmission in Bronco?

    I thought that the Bronco has the Explorer 10R60 Trans, not the 10R80 from the F150. There was alot of ink over this in 2021. Is this article inaccurate, or does the recall affect both transmissions? https://jalopnik.com/ford-to-recall-bronco-mustang-explorer-f-150-and-av-1850143073
  7. Beach Driving on Cape Cod National Seashore

    The Cape Cod National Seashore is now closed to off-road vehicles until April. I grew up driving these and other Cape Cod beaches. I welcome you to look over the web site and imagine a trip. With a speed limit of 15 mph, it's not a Baja Race Track, but a world to itself. Locals often keep an...
  8. Stowing Mid-panel On TrailRax While Driving

    I already posted my installation on the TrailRax Half-Rak on the rear cap of my 4-door OBX.: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/installed-trailrax-half-rack-on-obx.52194/ I bought that rack because I want the open-roof experience, but I need storage for the panel and other things. I don't...
  9. Installed TrailRax "Half-Rack" on OBX

    Update, 8/24, Wind & MPG results & info at end! Since I bought my OBX in October 2021, my plan was to put a small roof rack over the rear cap, so that I could remove the front and middle panels and still have a small roof rack. I leave the rear cap on the car, so this works for me. The Ford...
  10. Bronco Heritage White Wheels

    I really like the white alloy wheels on the Bronco Heritage editions. I searched. There's one company that has a new wheel that exactly matches, Fifteen52. They will be making the wheel in 5 and 6 bolt configurations, 16x7.5 and 17x8.5, in white and asphalt!
  11. ARB Single Air Outlet Placement

    Update: I installed my ARB single compressor, using the 4x4 LED bracket. I'm taking the OBX non-SAS High Package with AUX light switches to the Charleston 4-Wheel Parts store for wiring. The subject will come up re installing an extended air chuck outlet, and possibly a more remote air intake...
  12. Gearshade Install With Hardtop

    I received the Gearshade shade top Feb 28 for my 4dr MIC top Outer Banks. The installation, including some attachment design modifications I kept at, took over 3 months. I thought I'd use it occasionally, but ended up with a -semi-permanent install. It would remove in about 10 minutes. I leave...
  13. MPG: OBX Bronco gets 20mpg (19.9) in first 6,000 miles

    I've owned my 2021 Outer Banks 4dr Bronco since October 21, 2021, and as of March 11, have put 6148 miles on it, in all road conditions. I've averaged 19.9 MPG, and 22.5 on a recent long highway trip returning from Nags Head. I was finally able to off-road the vehicle on the Outer Banks this...
  14. Stock Outer Banks on the Outer Banks Beaches

    I bought my non-sasquatch OBX to continue my life-long tradition of Beach ORV use. As a child in the late 1950's, Sundays were spent on Nauset Beach on Cape Cod in whatever work truck we could let the air out of. In the 1960's and 1970s we graduated to International Scouts and when I moved away...
  15. Window Auto-Down Malfunction & Repair

    Others have this issue, and its easily repaired! My original post: "The auto window-down feature where the window goes down just enough so I can open the door has stopped working on the driver's side. All the other ones work. This means I have to put the window down before I get out and go in...
  16. Install MRT Hood Strut

    I wanted a pair of struts to hold the hood open without using the prop rod. I open the hood to hook up the battery clamps on my air pump during beach season, and eventually hope to install a mounted air system. I found there are two types of hood struts available. One system (RedLineTuning)...
  17. Supply Chain Frustration: MIC & Cream Cheese

    Yes Trying to put some perspective on the shortage of MIC tops & Bronco Tow packages. Maybe a little levity will help. Here's even worse news: New York City is running out of cream cheese. And other places are running out, too. When you go to your Bronco Off-Road Driving School, will you be...
  18. Broncos "Rake", level vs lift

    I've been pondering getting a 1" lift for 33" tires on my non-SAS stock OBX, 2.7 with rear lockers. Some "experts" posit that all i need is a "level" (front 1" lift) to remove the "rake" in my Bronco. When I mentioned that to my dealer, she said their practice & recommendation was to keep the...
  19. Grand Kids and the MIC top

    My daughter in my 1988 Bronco signature photo now has kids of her own, and today I took them with my SIL for their first open air ride from our home to the Isle of Palms beach on a balmy 62° South Carolina day! The 2 year-old was screaming in delight the whole trip! Making memories for him, or...
  20. "BRONCO" Lettering accessories OBX

    Lots of extra BRONCO letters on my Outer Banks. First, I never thought I'd pay $90 for an exact fit sunshade by Covercraft, but I did, and I love it! Its the first time I have one that unfolds exactly into the windshield space, and stores in its own sleeve. (CJ Pony Parts) Second, I sprung...
