Well, I went and made an emotionally awesome (and financially terrible) decision:

Very disappointing to see. The AT3w was a compelling K02 alternative as they were except for their weight, and these are almost 6 lbs heavier!

The good news is I have discovered that the Bosch 17OEs have the right adapter to fit the pinch tab interface. The bad news is they have an even shorter lifespan on the Bronco's flat windshield than the OE ford wipers before they start skipping across, and they cost too damn much for that. The...

This is fantastic, definitely watching this thread for future progress!

I have not seen anything to contradict this, 80W-90 up front and 75W-85 in the rear if buying Ford lubricants.

How are they noise-wise versus the stock GYs?

Man it sure took them long enough

The sensors are the same between the two bumpers, but the grommets are different. The part numbers for the grommets have been posted in this very thread, please have a read through it.

Man that's a stout lead time for a freakin tire! Hope they keep the C-load 35" and 37" sizes going with the K03.

Currently have a 315/70r17 C-load set on my WT, they certainly took some weight to balance but not a shocking amount for a tire that size. Good on you for getting them road force balanced and finding a dud. Wouldn't have been my first choice if the market was flush with C load range options...

Mine certainly took at least that when taking the plastic rear bumper off

Why on earth would they get rid of their most popular non-black/white/silver color?

Jokes aside, after some moderately toasty aviating this afternoon, I settled in for a shower, but since the water runs up a west facing wall, I had to turn it all the way on hot to get the coolest water. I’m ready for October.

One of the few downsides of living in Texas I suppose. Heat index around 110° isn't unusual here, especially this summer with the damn back-to-back high pressure systems parked over us all last month. Being outside without shade right now, it doesn't take long to approach the line that...

You won't hurt it running 35 psi, but I think you'll find that even that is a bit excessive for the best on-road ride. Fair warning, the AT3w is a chonky boy, 69 lbs and change.

I'm in that camp a bit, I look at the bronco as a vehicle that's stupid fun for reasons other than being a convertible. I'll occasionally take the front row panels off for the commute home or the middle one as well if the kids ask during the two weeks a year when our weather doesn't classify as...

Not wild about the powertrain choice (guess much like the GX/4r relationship, you have to buy Lexus to get more displacement), but other than that I do quite like it. For my 99% commuting/1% offroading use case, probably makes more sense than the Bronco does.

I don't have any experience in a Citabria without the spades, but the people I've talked to about them consider them mandatory equipment to keep control forces in check. It's absolutely a wonderfully forgiving taildragger, which is great since I go longer periods of time in between flying...

Finally got out and shook off the tailwheel rust. I had forgotten just how much fun the Citabria is, pure joy from cranking the starter until yanking the mixture. Was truly a shame about the clause in the rental agreement forbidding aerobatics.

I'm in the K02 replacement camp as well, by 11k mi the stock GYs had started to howl like worn down mud tires on the highway and one needed half a pound of weight to balance. It was a remarkable difference with the K02s, my only regret so far is that I didn't get them sooner.
