A good friend of mine owns a windshield repair and replacement business. His advice to me was to get any chips repaired ASAP to keep dirt and other contaminants out of the crevices. The dirt makes it more likely that the repair will be less noticeable after it’s done. He says to especially...

Of course you noted the date on that story, but marmots have been known to destroy wiring in parked cars, and because of their size they can do so very quickly (mice usually require a while). A friend parked at a motel for one night in Carbondale, CO and had to have his Subaru towed to a dealer...

I was also going to suggest the Katzkins route, @Arcee . I had them do my expedition last year and they are first rate. Also, if it matters to you (it did to me) the Katzkins are still real leather. Ford uses Pleather material even on the big money trucks like the Raptor, etc. They no longer...

No problems here, with either the primary or secondary phones. Both are iPhone 15, on a Pro and the other a Pro Max, if that matters.

I'm with you TJ. These Continental tires are awful. I wish mine would hurry up and wear out so I could justify replacing them. Based on my experience with Falkens on my Expedition, I suspect that is what we will be putting on our BSBL.

Spectacular photos! Wish we lived closer so we could give it a go!

My experience (admittedly anecdotal) is that Ford SUV rear wipers don't do well with aftermarket blades. Both my Expedition and our old Escape had terrible performance (streaking, etc.) with Bosch, Rain-X and Trico, even though Bosch blades worked great up front. Broke down and bought the...

This discussion is why I’m still a little bit aggravated that our Badlands didn’t come with the Falkens it was supposed to have, but rather with Scorpions. Dealer said it was “a supply chain problem” and we were in a bit of a bind for a new car (18 year old Escape was rapidly failing) so we...

I will miss your posts here and am very envious of your new rig. Maybe someday when my old Expedition gives up the ghost we will become a two-pony household. No way my wife is giving up the Sport. It's a perfect size for her - and for me the last few months as I recover from spine surgery. Best...

Great photos! I especially like the one where you got the shadow of the cemetery sign. Great eye!

Looks like fun. Any wildflower pics? And is that a SNAKE in the second photo??

Hope you really enjoy your new Bronco! I may be headed that way in a few years if my Expedition ever gives up the ghost.

We bought off the lot, and I wish it had the 360+ and Premium Package, but at the time we really needed a car. Also, I don't know if the cameras are the same, but I have a buddy who ordered a Transit van with all the whistles and bells, and he is having trouble with more than one of his 360...

Check out Diode Dynamics. I have not changed anything on the Sport yet, but I changed all bulbs, interior and exterior in my Expedition with DD bulbs (except the headlights, because they do not offer a bulb for that application) and have been very pleased with the quality. As @kshaw mentioned...

This is a result of an effect called metamerism. It's something I had to learn to deal with during my career as a photographer. It has to do with the way different pigments respond to varying wavelengths of light. It impacts more than paint -- fabrics are particularly prone to metamerism...

The Bronco is nice, but we really need to know more about this beautiful dog. Name, age, etc. please and thank you!!

We got these from Etsy as Snoopy suggested. I preferred the one without the cutout for the buttons as I was trying to keep gunk out.

This is pretty normal for vehicles with this general shape. I have it with my current Expedition and had it with a Suburban and a Jeep XJ. I find that lowering the front passenger window a few inches helps considerably.

Beautiful Bronco! I wonder why he went with the suicide doors.

I have used the Pickup/Delivery service through our dealer (@reutherfordstl) for the first oil change on our BSBL and it couldn’t have been any more convenient! I’m going to see if they will do this for my 2012 Expedition or if it’s only for vehicles purchased from the dealer.
