  1. Is 300,000 miles possible?

    Check this out. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/highest-vehicle-mileage If treated well, any modern engine will last longer than you will. A local dealer guarantees his select used vehicles for the life of the buyer. Think about it. 50k a year for 20 years is only...
  2. My soft shackle failure experience šŸ¤• -- The Off-Road Recovery That Almost Killed Me

    The root cause of the failure was not the rope or anything mechanical. It was the driver of the Jeep. Iā€™m a country boy and a Mechanical Engineer. Trying to jerk any vehicle with a rope or cable is a recipe for disaster, even if the vehicle is on flat dry ground. if the Bronco weighed 5000#...
  3. Infotainment display and navigation

    I bought the navigation option for $80. Donā€™t waste your money. Google maps is far superior. Chevroletā€™s is far superior. White roads on a gray background is so plebeian! Compare Fordā€™s weak attempt to Google Maps.. Entry level (mid 90ā€™s) versus a system thatā€™s a pleasure to use.
  4. 2,500 mile road trip with 2-Door Bronco experience: cargo space, fuel economy, issues

    Re: lifters. Sorry, I just group bucket tappets and lifters together. For 40 years I was Bow Tie. But the Bronco is the only vehicle on the market that fits my needs. Overall, the Chevy products are far superior, tho.
  5. Another Bad Hard Top That Ford Dealership Refuses to Fix

    To BadlandsA51: I know for a fact that some manufacturers to $$/mo for warranty work. If a Ford dealer exceeds the average cost for warranty costs, what happens? What is the time frame of the calculation? Is there an incentive for being below average? if there is a penalty for being over...
  6. 2,500 mile road trip with 2-Door Bronco experience: cargo space, fuel economy, issues

    My grand average fuel economy around south bend in is 19.9. 2 dr, OB, 2.7, no mods, high pkg. No issues so far except for an annoying click coming fron the engine. Probably a lifter or injector. Iā€™ll ignore it until it gets pretty bad. Having the side and front surround vision turned off...
  7. Another Bad Hard Top That Ford Dealership Refuses to Fix

    NOTE TO ALL SEEKING WARRANTY WORK. Some, maybe all, manufacturers allow only so many $$ in warranty work each month for each dealership. I guess itā€™s to prevent dealerships from doing unessential warranty work. The lesson is donā€™t go in for warranty work until the beginning of the month if at...
  8. HD surround vision sucks

    When in my garage with all the bright led garage lights on, the HD Surround Vision works fine in D, N, & P. In R, the side cameras go dark just when I need them to back out of my garage. The front and rear cameras are OK. The bright down lights on the bottom of the mirrors go out as well...
  9. Awesome appropriate decal

  10. Aux switches wiring

    Be careful about light bar watts. LED watt ratings have nothing to do with volts and amps. LED watts are Lumens divided by their efficacy. Best way to check things is connect your light to a battery thru an ammeter. You will find that the actual watt draw is about 1/10 the light rated watts...
  11. Amperage inflation mystery

    Well, as it Turns out Led watt ratings have nothing to do with volts and amps. Its Lumens divided by the ledā€™s efficacy. So, you need a lumenometer and an assumed efficacy to determine a lights ā€œwattage.ā€ Isnā€™t that special? https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/light/lumen-to-watt-calculator.html
  12. Amperage inflation mystery

    Thx Toymaster. The article was interesting. But, still, at 13.5 volts actually drew less than a 1/2 amp. So, itā€™s still a mystery. Maybe the forward voltage os actually 120 volts times 1/2 amp equals 60 watts. In any event, before connecting something to your Aux circuits, some checking...
  13. Mud Flaps: RokBlokz vs RekGen vs Mabett vs WeatherTech ?

    WeatherTech splash guards do not fit on a Bronco with crash bars, period. Do not order from ticklemybronco.com. Returns are impossible
  14. Amperage inflation mystery

    I bought some Nite Light led lights advertised at 60 watts each. Putting two of these on a 10 A AUX switch worried me. Using conventional calculations (60 watts divided by 12 volts equals 5 amps each, times 2 lights equals 10 amps, or on the verge of blowing the 10 A fuse). So, I thought Iā€™d...
  15. Pre-wired body circuits

    Well, I found three of the non-powered circuits, interestingly marked with slases witha magic marker. 1, 2, & 3 slashes. Pic attached. Where are the other two???
  16. Guys only want one thing and it's f-ing disgusting...!

    I have a 2door, OB, High Package, hard top, and V6 in Cyber Orange. Best illogical decision I ever made. I bought the 2 door because itā€™s a lot easier to maneuver in the woods with its very small turning circle. Plus it gives my wife more room for her Traverse in our garage (probably the real...
  17. Jumping my Bronco Raptor

    I do that with my Lambo all the time. Whatā€™s the big deal? šŸ˜‡
  18. Pre-wired body circuits

    Thanks, but exactly where are the ends of the wires routed through the body so I connect the switches to the circuit I want to connect to my my accessories? If you have a pic of where they are, Iā€™d appreciate it. Thanks for the reply!
  19. Pre-wired body circuits

    I am having a hard time finding the ends of the body circuits for use with the aux switches. I found all the hot wires coming from the aux switches, and a couple purple wires coming from a wiring harness near the power distribution box. Where the heck are the rest of them please. Also, I...
