1 - Windshield after 2 weeks, replaced with new oem one.
2 - possible right rear wheel speed sensor (working now, but going to dealer tomorrow)
3 - cracked my head pretty good a couple of times the 1st few weeks getting in - door openings are shorter than my Superduty were!

New windshield due to crack, rock chips from all the gravel on our roads for winter but absolutely zero issues or broke items on my Bronco.

-Three plastic T clips on the passenger side soft top rear corner (fixed with rivets, good as new).
-Relatively Substantial rock gouge on passenger door, touched up with paint.
-totally bent in the low-hanging fins on the support bars that go to the crossmember while mildly wheeling Sunday. The ones mentioned below in the video by LB at the 4:55 mark. These are prime rock targets. Never hit my rock rails, but I did a fair amount of bash plate hitting and of course, these took the worst hit (I'll post pics with an edit once I get home to the Bronco). The rear control arm brackets are also prime impact points. FYI.


Added pics of the brace. It apparently doesnā€™t take a lot to damage it, because it never felt like a big hit.

Really this is the first I heard that a stock bronco that broke its tie rods, the guy from bronco buster says itā€™s impossibleā€¦.
It was my fault. Climbing a rocky hill, I turned one way and slid another and snap. Just glad someone there had spares.

Well even if you did that and you are aware it was driver error, still those tie rods are just too small for OEM SAS Broncos! FORD NEEDS TO MAKE THEM BIGGER ON ALL SAS, LIKE WT 3.0!!! Or F150 raptor sized.... this is embarrassing šŸ˜³ šŸ˜• šŸ˜¬

Very true. I have the RPG off-road tie rod kit ready to be installed, so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Every plastic clip I have encountered in adding something or fixing something. No drill tailgate table, hood struts, and re-connecting the wiper hose above the rear passenger wheel well (behind the sub).
