Been looking to start building my "off road recovery bag" for an upcoming trip to the Smokies in November. Got myself a "weekender" static line kit from ARB with a couple of gloves and D ring shackles. I also got my eye on some recovery boards. But I do have a question on kinetic rope options...

I come from a long line of Mustangs, Accords, and Eclipses. Street tuning a vehicle and doing 'street things' has been my home for a looong time. This is my first true offroad vehicle. I have some experience offroading in California, when I was younger, with some experienced people that I...

Does anyone have experience with these seasucker mounts? They have a few options like the ability to transport water or fuel, or even transport recovery boards. All on the side rear windows. Seems too good to be true to alleviate some of that "roof weight" concern. Are these things rock...

OfferUp can sometimes be frustrating. You are dealing with sellers who can sometimes be unreliable; and there is also a lot of 'con-game' on OfferUp that you gotta be careful with. But OfferUp can also be serendipitous as it turned out this time. Sometimes, you find a seller who has exactly...

I know the "suspension" is different between the 2.0L models and the 1.5 models. But what about those diffrences actually PREVENTS the kits from being installed? Anything? Or is it simply that the Badlands is assumed to be driven off-road, and the kits that say that they aren't for them, are...

Forgive me if its been covered. I know tire size on stock wheels has been covered vigorously, but I was not able to locate info on if a wider wheel could still fit within the stock wheel well. I have been looking at the RTR wheels, but don't want to modify any trim or suspension item. They are...

Attached is my first Blackstone report. Nothing out of the ordinary EXCEPT the viscosity and fuel percentage is a little eye brow raising for oil that was only in there for 1000 miles. I imagine if I go a full 5K miles, thats gonna make for a lot of fuel in that oil. There's a Ford Escape 2.0...

Question: How many y'all just turn the car off without shifting into PARK first, and let the PCM do it for you? ?

Hi all. As many of you may or may not know, I became a Bronco Sport member a little over a month ago. This weekend, I finally gave it the 'hand wash' treatment. However, I still gotta set some time to do "the works"....decontaminate, wash, claybar, polish, wax....but I'll probably set that up...

Hi all. Was looking at taking the preliminary step of upgrading my stereo system by replacing the OEM speakers. I have the 4 channel base stereo with the bridged tweeters in the front. Replacing the door speakers look easy enough. But can anyone give me a heads up to replacing the tweeters...

Coming from a Mustang, that was dropped an inch, had a nice front camber, and used to take a 90 degree corner at 30mph like it was on rails, I REALLY FEEL the undertsteer on the Bronco. I'm also a fairly big fan of Steeda. I had their springs, and a bunch of their subframe stiffening bits on my...

So my other vehicle is a Mustang, and its lowered an inch. So I've always used this low profile jack. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Black-Jack-2-5-Ton-Low-Profile-Floor-Jack-Black-Silver-T825010W/322494885 That guy always did the trick with my Mustang. But it can barely get the tires off the...

So I wanted to dump that OE straight from factory synthetic blend as quickly as possible. Honestly, I did not find the plate all that difficult to deal with. The fact that the rear bolt holes are 'slotted' makes all the difference. I enjoy that this is only 10 bolts/screws to undo in order to...

Yes. Another one. But maybe this one is a little bit more focused. Here's where I am: 1) Especially after I get my subwoofer and amp wired up in the back, I will be hurting for space. 2) The roof side rails make for great extra storage space and other stuff, and I want to take advantage. 3) I...

I don't know if this has been broached, and I don't know if y'all have noticed...but it seems to me removing sparkplug #4 is going to be problematic with the high pressure fuel line right there. Has someone done a sparkplug swap yet and can confirm that the coil can slide out underneath that...

Hopefully, this is pretty straight forward. I like the look of having a front bumper bar. However, I have the Badlands with the tow hooks. Does installing a front bumper bar REQUIRE removal of the tow hooks? Is it either one or the other, but not both?

I will be honest. I DID NOT know about the stop/start feature until the car was already signed for and purchased. I took maybe a 5 minute test drive and it didn't do it during the drive. Salespeson didn't mention it. So it really caught me by surprise. At first, I was like "oh no; this has...

My dealer didn't mention anything, and I didn't notice while I checked her out. I suspect its a security code for the car? Do I need to call them back for that?

So there's a couple of threads floating around here that pontificate on catchcans, but figured maybe it would be best to start a new one. In those threads, it usually devolved into a disagreement about the necessity of such devices. If we can cut that part out, that'd be great. Lets try and...

Warranty issues aside, the intercooler is probably the single most critical "choke point" of turbocharged performance. The OEM intercooler on my Mustang was absolute garbage as I would watch charge temps climb to 150 and just stay there with zero cooling during forward motion. It was night and...
