A video of me and my Bronco!

I had the good fortune and opportunity to road trip my stock 2D FE Bronco from California, through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado. The reason for this mad dash was to visit TFL Offroad’s Tumbleweed Ranch and try to conquer its course with my Bronco. I’m not going into the course right now...

Finally got around to taking the hardtop off my 2D FE, game changer! Life topless is awesome!

After a week of hitting the trails of Hollister Hills" trails and a couple days of Dunes down in Pismo Ca, The new engine that replaced my original catastrophically failed first engine is now having issues. It has been at the dealership sine 0810 hours this morning (02/28/22) and it is now 1540...

Spent a few days on the sands and dunes of beautiful Pismo California. Was pleasantly surprised to find my Bronco's twin, another 2 door, First Edition in Cyber-orange! The Bronco preformed flawlessly in the sand and firmly remains the best ever four wheeler I have ever owned. I love this...

I do love my 2D Bronco, one small limiting factor is stowing off road and camping gear. However, Grant over at www.Rockworkx.com (based in San Jose, CA) has a very cool product I just installed on my Bronco. His custom bolts that replace the hard top bolts have a slick top that enables you to...

Hollister Hills has a Jeep Jamboree going on this weekend. Talk about not so friendly jeepers, some where cool, but I was surprised by the amount of stink eye the Bronco was getting. I find it funny that some Jeep owners are offended that a Bronco was in a State owned, open to the public park...

Update: several folks have contacted me to show pics of the new engine. Adding them below. (She is still running great too!) It took 40 days but my Bronco is back home! On 12/23, the engine died and it needed to be replaced (read original thread). Today, 01/31, I got her back! I've only...

UPDATE! The new motor and turbos was just delivered to my Dealer's Service Department! It has been nearly five weeks since my 2.7 Bronco First Edition suffered a catastrophic engine failure. As I write this, no engine replacement has arrived. Ford is paying for a much lesser grade vehicle as a...

One day shy of four weeks, this is the latest in the blown motor saga. My service manager has received word (electronically) that there is a replacement engine cued up to be sent. However, no one actually knows when that replacement engine will actually be made and/or shipped. The best I can...

Recap: December 23rd, while stopped at a stop light (only 2,024 miles on it), the 2.7 died and would simply not restart. The Bronco ended up being towed to local Ford dealer where it discovered that the timing chain broke, the valves had destroyed the pistons and metal shaving contaminated the...

Recap: December 23rd, while stopped at a stop light, the engine was at idle when it abruptly shut off (only 2,024 miles on it). The 2.7 would simply not restart. The Bronco ended up being towed to local Ford dealer where it discovered that the timing chain broke, the valves had destroyed the...

Update on dead Bronco: The epitome of being disgusted with a new vehicle. The 2021 Ford Bronco First Edition with the 2.7 liter twin turbo motor. For 2,023 miles, it ran perfect! The Bronco demonstrated superior off-road abilities and did so with extreme comfort and confidence. On Dec 23rd...

Dec 23rd started off with a wonderful, wet morning in Hollister Hills OHV park, but on the way home, it turned ugly quick. Came to a stop at a light, the engine abruptly quit, which is odd since I had engaged the off button for the auto stop/start for the engine. I tried to restart the engine...

430 days after placing the deposit, I took possession of my 2021 2D FE! 24 hours later, all I can really say is I love it. I will be adding another post early next week, my buddies I 4x4 with are going to our local OHV Park. I will list my impressions after that.

The wait is nearly over and the building/customizing is about to start!

Got to see, climb in and test drive (very quick, short distance) the Wildtrack Demo today. My impressions: 1. Not in love with the soft top's rear window opening. seems clunky and doesn't get out of the way completely when raised. 2. This was a dealer demo, I assumed (wrong) that it would have...
