That was my thought and what led me to disconnecting it to test.
Very in depth video, thanks!
I may still have it wrong, but it's right enough to work as intended. As Tater mentioned, above, I think it's getting its power from the tail lights themselves, and doesn't need the positive lead...
Hello all!
I just spend about 4 hours in the garage installing and troubleshooting the Curt Bronco Custom 4-Way Flat Output Trailer Wiring Harness for 2021+ models with LED tail lights (Curt Part #56468). It probably should have been a 1-1.5 hour job. I learned a few things along the way that I...
Yep, but I have a tailgate reinforcement and I haven't done oversized tires. Based on the 133lbs without the reinforcement, I'm comfortable that I'd be within a safe limit. My spare is about 80lbs (I think 82 or 83 when I weighed it) and the water would put me at about 165lbs on the tailgate. I...
I'm curious, how is everyone bringing clean water with them? I'm between a few options, but they all have drawbacks. I'd love to hear how you manage water on the trails!
Background: I am planning a camping trip with my significant other and our four dogs. We are going up for three days, two...
If you like the ease of the soft top, and have clearance in your garage for it or park outside, check out the GobiRacks Stealth Rack. It's an exoskeleton rack that tilts back so you can fully use your soft top still, but gives you a roof rack that can support whatever you want to throw up there...
I'm sure that if someone made a product like that, you could tie it in to the same wires that run heated mirrors/rear defrost with a splice or waterproof wiretap. Maybe @Mabett could make something, they have some good solutions for other problems!
I have had to do this before. I was driving home in freezing rain at night, and my headlights froze over. I have the Diode Dynamics SS3 Fog Lights, and they got warm enough to melt the ice off the front. It was a bit weird to adjust to driving with only yellow beams, but it worked well enough to...
I don't own both, But I've driven about 150-200 miles in a SAS on the highway. The difference to me was subtle, but it was there. As I mentioned, the non-SAS just feels a bit tighter when I was going highway speed. I didn't get to offroad the SAS, so I can only talk about the on road performance.
I have an OBX non SAS, and it's my daily driver. 90% of my miles have been on pavement. I truly appreciate the non SAS suspension with how much I drive on roads compared to SAS. It just feels tighter and more stable at highway speeds.
If you plan on mostly driving on roads and highways, I'd...
There are plenty of options out there for an 18" wheel. I stuck with the stock OBX wheels because I plan to powder coat them black in the future after seeing it done in a few posts here, and narrowed it down to three solid options for my use case. I went with 275/70r18 tires which are 33", and...
Vehicle warranties are not "voidable" for using aftermarket parts thanks to the Magnuson-Moss act, which regulates written warranties. Your warranty claim may be denied if Ford were to prove that your aftermarket upgrade, while functioning properly, caused the failure that started the warranty...
The calculator I used is at the bottom of this article when I went aftermarket.

It was only 1 PSI high when I ran the chalk test for my setup, but I used the GVWR instead of getting my Bronco...
Hi everyone!
I put new tires on my Bronco a couple months ago (Goodyear Ultraterrains) and have been reading a lot on here about what PSI to run with E rated tires. Most of the answers I found seemed to be random PSIs that people like, but didn't have anything to back them up other than "it...
If you're going with the FPP tune, just upgrade your filter to a performance filter. Most of the CAIs out there get most of their "performance increase" from the filter alone, and it's 1/5th the cost. The engine's computer will know how to handle a little bit more air, it's not a significant...
I have an OBX non-SAS that I did the same thing on. Went from stock to a 275/70r18 Goodyear Ultraterrain, it's rated E1. When I first made the swap, I noticed a slightly rougher ride, especially with smaller bumps. I could just feel it a little bit more going over different height pavement, or...
It's holding up great! A couple of trips in at highway speeds and bumpy roads, it's rock solid.
If you could do a sliding ski rack on the roof like the Kuat Grip 6, that would probably be a better option just because it would protect the skis better from rocks and road grime. I feel like I...
I use the Hollywood SR1 and Thule Tram. I haven't had any issues with length, even with the ski rack sticking out I'm still shorter than the Tacomas and Rangers going up there. The two nice things about it are it keeps the rear camera clear, and it forces people to stay far enough back to open...
I don't have the official link right now, but the stock tailgate weight limit is 133lbs. You can find threads on here that back up that number with links.
While the hinges are A weak point (Not THE weak point), the other issue you would have with a ski rack on the back is distortion of the...
I just installed it today, I have paracord grab handles up there and the bolts are plenty long to hold the grab handles and the brackets for the top. I haven’t seen the hard grab handles in person so I can’t speak to those, but I would imagine the bolts are still long enough.
Overall first...
