@EdmondDantes Drilling the letters is what UPR did in their video so I followed suit. I used a slow speed until I could see the hole then used a scraper to get the rest of the plastic off before pushing each letter out. The factory letters are really stuck on there. The replacement ones have...

@EdmondDantes The letters from UPR in carbonized gray metallic (they have other colors; link below) came yesterday and went on today. These are actual replacement letters so the grill has to come off as do the old white letters. Taking the grille off is easy (UPR has a Youtube video) but...

@EdmondDantes I’m going for the same look on my BB, but I ordered replacement letters from UPR in carbonized gray metallic which is supposed to be the color as the BB grille. As suggested above I put my front license plate low from the start as shown by @Luckylat. I think it looks better there.

Just found Team 2 Door thread! Getting ready for central Idaho offroading this year. Just mounted extra gas cans.

I bought my 2dr 2.3 auto Big Bend non-sas off the lot last fall. Needed for Idaho mountain winter so didn’t really have an engine choice. The 2.3 seemed fine on test drive so that was it. Have been very happy with it. Did plenty of BDR type driving and it did just fine. Drives great on the...

I just ordered two of the Rotopax 2 gal cans with the RockSlide spare tire mount as it can be a looooong way from a gas station in the central Idaho mountains. Thanks for letting me know about the need to vent them in hot weather. Once I get the cans I may head off to a few thrift stores to see...

I found your club today and it looks like the only thing going in Idaho. We bought our BB 2dr 2.3 nonsas in Boise in September and started back roading around our place in the Wood River valley: Warm Springs from Ketchum to Fairfield, Trail Creek summit to the Wild Horse Creek campground (most...

Thanks for that! I realized yesterday that would be an issue i.e. the bump stop will be 20mm too short. I was looking all over to see if they can be replaced (the Ford Performance person I talked to doesn’t know). Hopefully there’s one about 20mm longer than mine. I’m looking at the matte...

@hellahella Love the look of the wheels. My 2dr big bend (cactus gray; non-sas) has the stock 17” wheels but I’m having trouble finding the width and offset. The outside of the wheel seems to measure 8.5 inches but I can’t find the offset. Do you know how the 35mm offset compares to OE wheels?

I was lucky enough to find one of those non SAS 2.3 BBs on the lot in September when I needed a vehicle for the mountains and bought it on the spot at sticker. Have put hundreds of overland miles on it bone stock since and it is just fine. Love it. I have since added mud flaps, rock rails...

@CarmeloS @Summit981 I did the same. 2014 Boxster S manual trans. It was a total hoot to drive but not very good as a second car living in the mountains.

I have a 2 door 2023 Big Bend 2.3 with mid package non-sas. I wanted simple, got it and love it. Wouldn’t change much. I’ve read all of the now 14 pages and didn’t see anyone ask for steering wheel heat! It’s 21 degrees our right now and that would come in handy. A couple of other nits: -...

@FFF there is some wind noise, but I don’t drive at highway speeds all that much so it isn’t much of a bother. I am thinking about taking the front fairing off just as an experiment to see if that might increase or decrease the noise. @ksdon the tabs that grab the MIC roof are bolted to the...

Certainly nicely done, but I live in farm and bug country. Every time I pass by a field with a huge sprinkler going and my windshield dotted with splattered bugs I am SO glad my Bronco doesn’t have rain sensing wipers to automatically spread bug guts over the rest of my windshield.

@Mainer if you put two skis together, one binding down the other facing up, you can get six pairs of skis up there. The Grip 4 holds four pairs. If you do that, the downward facing binding won’t clear the side of the half rack (see last picture) when you go to pull out the bottom part of the...

I installed the TrailRax 2dr half rack on my Big Bend a few weeks ago and posted this thread https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/trailrax-half-rack-on-2-door-installed-first-photos.83525/ Today I installed the Kuat Grip 6 ski rack onto the half rack. I got the Grip 6 because the bottom of...

@Rusty Sheckelford I’m adding a video showing me giving the Bronco a good shake while holding on to the half rack. I’m thinking it would work as a lift point to take the rear top off. Your decision, but I’ll probably do it when I get to taking the top off. Snowing this morning so I ordered a...

@carrellslake I’m planning to put a Kuat Grip 4 ski rack up top for starters. TrailRax says it should mount right to the cross bars. The 2 door doesn’t have all that much room for skis inside. @Rusty Sheckelford when I grab the half rack standing on a step ladder and shake the Bronco it moves...

@TrailRax Do you have weight specs for 1/2 rack without Pak Rax? So far I’m planning to put a ski rack on mine, but weight limits would be nice to know.

@Rydfree I haven’t been at highway speeds yet. Others reported no change in mpg or wind noise. I’ll post if I notice anything.
