Generally in warmer climates; Nor Cal & NV, S. ID summer deserts Diffs - Redline Heavy Duty Shock Proof - "super-multiviscousity" “Film thickness greater than an SAE 75W250, yet low fluid friction like 75W90” Transfercase - RedLine 75W85. (have advance-trac w/clutches but will not use 4A) 7MT...

I installed one of these covers plus the hood ‘blanket’. Used metric wing nuts from McMaster for quick removal. Might have reduced sound a bit. Another mention on the Ranger Forums hint that the cover will help minimize water that migrates down to the spark plug threads, which cause bad...

YES, add SOLID color

For long desert runs; MFC can w/Hammerbuilt & Raptor hinges; flush mount taillights & tailgate swing limiter.

My 2.3L has started to make the chirping noise <20MPH. Indeed it is the transfer case end driveshaft boot. Specifically the narrow section mid-bellow that helps center the boot and rides on the driveshaft. Not sure what the long term solution is considering the need for some degree of plunging...

For those that have removed M210 front half-shaft CV axles, which tool(s) worked best to remove them from the differential, ….besides common pry bars.`

My set-up is the inverse - let the camp rig tow the Bronco. Attentive driving over the Sierras even with 12” trailer brakes.

One would really want to have amber signals for the work involved. Study Ford shop manuals. Given mfg’g variations, it’s plausible some halogen models may already have the BCM turn signal wires routed to the tail lights. - enclosed are photos of the BCM pin #s; there are multiple connectors...

With extra effort you could add pins/wires to the BCM for the dedicated amber left/right turn signals, and the run wires to the rear tail lights. Did the same process upgrading an F350 to OEM LED headlight modules. It is delicate work disassembling the connector top and adding pins.

Installed upper arms with loosening and dropping the rear of the tank down using a screw stand. Just needed to remove the filler & vent hoses, and unclip some harness lines from formed-recesses in the top of the fuel tank. I did have the spare Dorman fuel feed clip, as I was prepared to fully...

The first link is indeed a far better deal. My search was too hasty. I choose this outfit as they sell kits with 1K and 2K clear.

Will be using this EG paint, plus 2K clear for Raptor tailgate hinges. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GRRFGMT?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

New tail lights w/amber turn signals 1. Can we presume they will be drop-in compatible to OEM signature-lighting tails w/no Forscan mods ? 2. Any ETA on when they can be ordered or pre-ordered ?

PHOTO above by ramble makes sense. Mine installed the same. It provides most clearance for Icon’s coilover when the steering tie rod is hard-over (retracted). May be irrelevant if not using Icon coilovers (which have a low spring bucket mount)

Well though out outfitting plan. Similar with a milder build plan for another E.G. Badlands (but a 7-spd) for primarily NV mining roads. 35x11.5 Nittos/B-Rhino Fuji rims, Icon non-remotes /aluminum UCAs. Icon tie rods & B’Buster on both ends of the steering rack & dual ARB pump already...

Thanks for the good info. I see the wiper motor has a multi-pin connector, and noted HW & SW revs marked on the motor. To your knowledge, is the wiper motor SW updatable, or is it low level s/w that is fixed in the motor assembly.

A challenge to parts book sleuthers…. The load-current sensing circuitry is sporadic on a nominal % of motors. Perhaps the current sensing was implemented to use a smaller/cheaper wiper motor. Very remote chance, but could the wiper motor potentially be swapped out for a ‘non-smart’ motor...

Any feedback on the Spicer 29-spline M210 extreme half-shafts. Striving to swap half shafts at same time as coilovers. Bronco RCV availability appears MIA, no longer listed in their catalog. Anyone installed the Spicer units with positive results ? ? ? At least one bad Spicer experience cited...

Blowing out grease is bad news. Spicer CV shafts were on my list. Can you elaborate on the ‘given up altogether‘ failure ? where the joints still stiff or sloppy loose ?

Installed the Icon tie rods, along with b’buster parts on each end, on a stock Badlands with _stock 55mm offset wheels_. FYI - the passenger side had tight clearance. Perhaps due to a stack-up of manufacturing tolerances, at full turn steering, the tie rod barely hits the clip-on wheel...
