@Fordified1 Accessory mode, center touch screen, Settings, swipe sideways to find & tap Software Updates, top line Automatic Update = toggle off, select Continue at nanny prompt. Also at that same screen, for Recurring Update Schedule, I created a custom schedule for just 2 days a week at 2:00...

Sometimes I flat tow my Bronco, which is already iffy due to wacky electronics. I don’t want an automatic software update to rock the boat while I’m towing, therefore I leave it turned off. Periodically I turn it on, check for updates, then turn it back off again. @Ford I hope you’re...

@pakrat I have sound deadening on my to-do list. I even have he materials. But I don’t know how to take those panels off without breaking them. Do you have a good resource for how to remove the interior trim panels ?

@73Corvetteman what are you doing about the front driveshaft?

It is worse than that even. From the Rotopax instructions: “we recommend venting your Rotopax at least once a day or every 10 degrees in temperature and every 1000 feet in elevation. However, depending on your location and usage, you may need to vent more than once a day, especially in areas...

I’ve done overlanding/off-roading in much of the western USA and I can’t really think of anywhere that is “200-300 miles away [from a gas station]”. But more to your question, the idea is supposing that you’ve done the math and you’ll probably have enough to get out & back; the extra cans are...

You said ”285/70R17 Falken Rubitrek“ on steel wheel. I looked up the specs on those. OMG they must be made of lead, weighing in at 59 pounds (compared to 37 for OEM tire) and stiff load range E (compared to C for SAS Goodyear or P (passenger for stock OBX)). And steel wheels are roughly 5...

Way old background info: they’re actually called “pneumatic tires” because the air holds the load. The sidewalls (carcass) don’t hold up the weight - they hold the air pressure inside and that air holds up the weight. This is the 21st century; tire engineer have figured out how to contain...

My local Ford parts desk and I figured out that the Ford Acessories locking gas cap listed for late model mustangs fits all Ford capless tanks. I proved it by using it on my F150 for years, then tested it on my Bronco. In the end though I’ve decided to live without it...

@RagnarKon Thank you. While its handy could you share the whole doc with other vehicles, flat tow, accessories, etc?

@Administrator Thank you! Can I get one for 2023? (Ever since Ford switched to FordPro web content I haven’t been able to access these things easily)

Just a helpful fitment detail for those who want aftermarket skid plates, and also want to flat tow their vehicle using tow bar “base plate” brackets, yet are wondering if aftermarket parts from 2 different manufacturers will work together. My bronco is a 4 door OBX 2.7 V6. It came with...

@Onestepmore please share a photo of the trailer tongue, including the crank jack, etc. I’ve done a lot of towing. Maybe we can help you brainstorm for the best solution.

Oh yes @One more upgrade I’m sure it does exactly as you say it does.

Ok I get it. A soft sway bar (always connected) instead of a stiff sway bar (that you disconnect and reconnect).

@Hashlak thank you for the honest review.

My dad who worked in the oilfield taught me a valuable general bit of advice: Do NOT ever suppose that a high energy situation is “safe” - whether that energy is kinetic, electrical, hydraulic, etc. ALWAYS suppose that there WILL be a sudden and catastrophic release of energy. Therefore, it Is...

I‘ve rented & towed a lot of UHaul trailers. Never have they been picky about hitch height. Of course there’s always a first time 😂

In Albuquerque that’s the rate for mom & pop shop mechanical work. Big name shops are $185 or more.
