I have taken delivery of what is one of the first (if not the first) production aftermarket hard top.
This is a two piece hard top from RallyTops - costs about $4,000
The hard top came delivered in some very poorly constructed wooden crate contraption that took an hour to disassemble and break...
After falling victim to Webasto's short comings and failing to produce even close to enough hard tops, ford is now failing to provide the aftermarket with the data necessary to help quell these problems.
Below is taken directly from a conversation with Patriot Fastbacks today 6/8/22
"We are...
Received a letter jointly from Ford/Roush today requesting that I voluntarily give them my vehicle for emissions testing conducted at the Allen Park Roush facility.
Standard stuff, but I have never been asked to participate before.
They want to give $200 - a loaner vehicle and return the...
Driving back from the M1 concourse cars and coffee today. Lady turns into my lane and gets real close to hitting me. So I honk the horn - more than a light tap but definitely not at all hard.
the center of the steering wheel cracked in on itself….
I feel like this shouldn’t happen at 6,000 miles…
Figured with such a robust community that perhaps someone would have some info.
Headed from Detroit down to Nashville in April.
Any neat off road trails along the way? Or perhaps in the general vicinity of the destination (being Nashville) ?
Patriot fastbacks today says that they expect their hardtop (the big odd looking one I assume) to be 60% quieter than the ford stock hardtop.
As a soft top owner this piques my interest.
I've successfully mounted by roof lights, drilled the hole into the pre-wired area... attached all that...etc
Does anyone know how to remove the glove box to gain access to the aux wires that are behind it? I know you can press in on the clips to allow it to drop about 4 more inches... but...
Not sure I love the position the mount puts them at, but there are not currently many on the market so I’ll take what I can get. Anything to avoid the dreaded led light bars.
KCHilites; about $450
Universale bronco light bar mounts from ZroadZ; $125
As we know, the idea behind 4 auto is that as soon as the Bronco detects slip, 4x4 kicks in and helps mitigate the issue.
If you have 4A its turned on when you set your GOAT mode to slippery.
In my head, slippery mode should be the best mode for snow. Could you use 4hi? Sure! but if your city...
Listed in general; move to where you see fit
noticed this a few times thus far when the bronco is warming up in the driveway. A faint engine squeak, the kind of thing that sounds serpentine belt related and you’d expect to hear much louder on a much older vehicle.
see video below. I put the...
Winter has finally hit Michigan and the salt trucks are out in full effect working as hard as they can to ruin our vehicles.
Ive never owned a soft top vehicle before… how are y’all keeping yours clean? My last new vehicle got weekly touchless car washes to keep the salt away… but I’ve heard...
If it’s raining, and you roll your window down (while stationary) the water instantly comes in and splashes all over the door. Largest amount ive dealt with in any vehicle
I’m 100% embarrassed that I have to ask, but I checked the owners manual and tried both settings but can’t seem to figure it out.
is there a way to adjust remote start so that your heated seats Are turned on and actually hot when you enter the car? Thus far I’ve only managed to get them to turn...
There are plenty of roof light bars out on the market that I would love to purchase, but they are not made specifically for the bronco (yet) and thus are not sold with the mounting hardware that I would need.
is anyone selling just the brackets to mount roof lights? Picture of rough country's...
Listen - I know its a "Jeep Thing" but its also a general enthusiast vehicle thing.
There is a corvette wave, so why not a Bronco wave?
Living in Metro Detroit I am beginning to see a good number of Bronco's out there and only 1 driver waved to me (thanks lady!).
We've all been waiting 10+...
Golly I hope I am over-reacting and being paranoid, but in my experience with vehicles, I rarely am...
Bronco hit 1800 miles recently and suddenly its making an odd fluttering sound when accelerating - seems to be correlated to the RPM's.
It borderline sounds like a leaf is stuck in a fan...
