Well, as I said, we can eliminate those two holes that you highlighted as being the only spot. They haven’t disturbed the plugs I put in and are still getting into the cabin. There has to be a tech with access to the factory service manual that could tell us. What type of outdoor trap are you...

Any updates to this? We are having horrible problems again this year already, and it isn’t even cold yet. I plugged the 2 holes that you highlighted in post #29 and I had thought that it worked because we weren’t seeing any signs of them in the cabin. That all changed the other night when...

If you are away from the bronco and it gets broken in, would you be notified via the app on your phone? Would it notify you if the vehicle was being towed from a no parking zone or similar? Thanks!

Interesting…. It sure doesnt look like it’s supposed to be that way but our blades are from the factory.

Good enough for me!

Is that leading edge supposed to peek out like that a little bit while on or is mine defective? I thought maybe it was a little reminder that the wipers were on or something but it seems unnecessary. It also seems like it could wipe a tiny fraction of the window more if it went all the way...

I stated that I was specifically not worried about the starter.

If the top were any wider he wouldn’t be able to slide it straight out and it is likely pretty heavy so lifting and tilting may not work easily.

All the other ones. I find it ridiculous that anyone would take the position that this quick start/stop wouldn’t cause extra wear & tear versus just idling. Now, you may say that the extra wear and tear is worth it or for fuel savings or that they have done a good job minimizing that extra...

It’s not even the starter that I worry about, it’s the wear and tear on every other component. This is a system that would have been laughed out of the board room if it weren’t for the never ending insatiable quest to meet more and more ridiculous fleet mileage requirements. The fact that...

That isn’t a terrible idea actually, about the 2x. And correct, I would use stands or cribbage for undercarriage wash, this was just so I could give the underside a good pressure washing so I wouldn’t be underneath!

I was only worried about risk to the vehicle because my intent isn’t to use this as a means of accessing the undercarriage; merely to get the wheels off the ground simultaneously so as to slide 2 ramps underneath. I would absoutely never work under a vehicle using any type of jack or single...

Don’t quite have the ground clearance to get it up on 4 ramps at once and I could use jack stands (although you run into a similar problem)but ramps are just more sturdy in the stone drive. I’m going to get the bottle jack / jack stand combos for now I think.

My only concern is the leverage since I would have to get a bite right under the receiver which sticks almost proud of the rear of the vehicle and therefore the weight, meaning it will be essentially multiplying the actual weight.

I am trying to jack the rear of the vehicle to get it up on ramps and so i need to jack it both sides at once. If I position my jack directly on the bottom square part of the receiver, can it handle that type of weight?

oh wow, didn’t realize that the weight issue was bad enough to prevent you from loading 2 kayaks. I think it’s 150lb limit so that platform must be pretty heavy, I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thank you! I think I want to keep the stock rails so I’ll just have to deal with the worse mpg...

Thanks, I just read through it! So I think now I am set on a platform system like that from Rhino. I am just seeing if there are any less-expensive but still well-built options out there?

I am looking for recommendations for a platform rack system like the Pioneer system from Rhino Rack https://www.rhinorack.com/en-us/products/roof-racks/platforms-and-baskets/pioneer-platforms I was just curious if there were any cheaper but still well-built options that anyone is using?

I was hoping to get some up to date best options for roof racks for a 2024 Big Bend. I am thinking that I would like to go with a platform style rack. I figured that without a lip it would be easier to slide things on and off. I won’t be loading canoes or kayaks but I will be loading blow up...

Yeah, I realized that he had said 2.0 looking back at it. My plug is also to the rear so that should have also clued me in, but I wasn’t paying enough attention.
