Lol, I have the 7MT, so less issues with the 2.3 alternator.I like my alternator too much for that
Buddy with the 2.7 went through it and had zero alternator issues, but snapped his driver’s side rear axle. Had to tow him over a mile, over terrain, back to the trail head.
@Jazer I smile every time I see or wear your art.

Oh I didn't, never will. In the next year once the wife decides what she wants, or will go in the garage and driven a lot less than it does now.

I’m moving onto this. 27,000 miles on my 2022 Black Diamond and my original reservation from 7/25/20 finally got built. This one hits the dealer next week and then Need to get cleared for the seatbelt recall and selling my 2022. Will keep this one for a long time. Bronco has been my favorite vehicle I’ve owned.
Do we still post here?
I usually do when people ask questions here. But it’s been pretty quiet lately. How have you been?
Been really good. 16 months and the new kidney still performing as hoped.

that’s awesome to hear you’re in good health. Have you had a chance yet to do anything fun with the bronco? I know you wanted to do things but the surgery put things on pause for a bit.
This. A far cry from what it once was. Unfortunately this forum alert system isn't great, and if one doesn't interact with the thread enough, new updates fail to get marked under notifications.
Hope all the 1/3 Bronco Babies are doing well. Mine just rolled 18k. Aside from the bad alternator last year, it's been behaving. New mods are UTD in my build thread/signature if anyone is curious. Latest was a steel bash plate conversion to fit the standard plastic bumper. I think some of you saw the separate thread I made on that. I haven't been doing a ton of off-roading, but I do like to get out sometimes and last time it was fairly rocky. I don't intend to lift it for a bit yet (kinda thinking about after warranty timeline).. so that extra protection is even more helpful being a lil lower than a lot of the Broncos I go out with, haha.
Blu on the right. This is up at Uwharrie National Forest. I decided after this adventure it was definitely time for some skids. I cant believe those of us with standard bumpers have plastic engine sheilds... along side plastic oil pans. (Not new news to me but seems like a poor choice for an off-road vehicle regardless of trim). Nvm the 2.7 and trans oil cooler right up front waiting to kiss a rock as well. So not confidence inspiring.
This is after I installed the steel bash plate & engine skid (transfer case skid is going on today). There is a slight gap between the bumper and skid. Kinda curious about eventually fabbing something up to go there but overall it's not terrible and the goal was protection anyways. Still fits contour of the bumper.
yeah I have the broncbuster bushing and billet housing for the steering rack coming in soon. Would love to just upgrade to the 74weld stage 3 but unfortunately didn’t win the mega millions haha.This.

I’ve been going out here and there but no crazy difficult trails out here in Southern California. Have a group of broncos heading out to anza borrego for camping at the end of October. Think there’s over 20 broncos going

I am glad to see everyone is doing well. I miss my interaction here. Y'all are good peoples.
We picked up a new Raptor earlier this year since the "Boss Lady" wont let me take her Bronco off road. We just got back from 10 days in Colorado, what an awesome time.
