  1. While we’re talking about new tires…. BF Goodrich Trail Terrain 235/50r18 reviews / feedback?

    There's nothing wrong with Trail Terrains they are good tires.
  2. Fuel warning

    I've owned/still own a '99 Explorer, '08 Expedition, '17 Ecoboost Mustang, and now this '24 Bronco Sport. I "tested" the 0 mile reading on the other three Fords and all of them had about 25 or so miles left after the 0 showed on the readout. I suppose Ford programs in a little extra margin on...
  3. How old is everybody?

    It's okay. I'm a heterosexual Christian white male so I'm used to being discriminated against and excluded from any modern DEI type of consideration. :p
  4. How old is everybody?

    I'm 67 so I don't fall into any of those categories :)
  5. Tips to not make a mess - diy oil change

    Here's the manual pump version. Still not cheap but if you've already got something like this, I think it should work (?) If you don't have a marine oil pump, the Ronin plug looks like a great option, though still not cheap...
  6. Tips to not make a mess - diy oil change

    I am not due for my second oil change for several months, but my next try I plan to insert a marine oil drain pump made for boat engines. I have this one. If it is successful sucking up most of the old oil through the dipstick tube like it does my inboard/outboard V8 in the boat, the small...
  7. Something I feel i HAVE to clear up about transmission servicing.

    I am reminded how I got around the "permanent can't change ATF only a dealer can" on my 2008 Expedition with the Triton V-8 and no drain plug for the transmission. I found the fill plug on the right topside of the tranny, then sucked the ATF out of it through the fill hole with a oil change pump...
  8. 3rd party extended warranty...?

    Years ago I was an accountant for a corporation that was looking at buying out a major extended warranty company. I was tasked with doing due diligence research into that company and the extended warranty business. I forgot the exact figure, but at that time extended warranties payed out...
  9. Help - BB model - uncomfortable daily driving suspension

    Wow I guess the Badlands really does ride a lot better than a Big Bend. I have both vehicles and my EcoBoost Mustang's suspension ride quality is vastly better than the BB.
  10. Dare I ask.....Badlands with 255s?

    How wide are the stock rims? That also limits how wide you can go.
  11. New oil drain plug is available -- Ronin oil drain plug

    According to the Fumoto site, there are five that fit. Has anyone ordered one of these to confirm?
  12. First DIY oil change experience

    I just did our first oil change. I never read any warning about just how insanely fast the oil flows out of that huge plug hole... the diameter has to be twice of any oil pan plug hole I've ever seen, and even though I was prepared to put the drain pan back enough to catch the oil, the flow was...
  13. 47.5 MPG on Big Bend using Eco Mode 🍃

    The effect is more dramatic for our vehicles, for two reasons. I also own an EcoBoost Mustang which is a heckuva lot more aerodynamic than our Bronco Sport. In the Mustang, increasing speed results in a very dramatic drop in MPG that I eventually determined to be related to when the extra...
  14. 47.5 MPG on Big Bend using Eco Mode 🍃

    What exhaust and intake?
  15. How I Get Things Done

    HOW I GET THINGS DONE This morning I decided to clean out my garage. It’s such a beautiful day and nothing else is planned. At the end of the day, finally, my garage is going to be organized, clean, and look fantastic! As I open the garage door and look out, I notice that I need to water my...
  16. 1st Oil Change on Bronco Sport Badlands -- Thoughts and Things Learned!

    Regarding old paraffin oils, when I was a teenager I helped tune up my dad's 289 V8 in our 1965 Ford Fairlane station wagon.... he always used Quaker State. This was probably sometime around 1974 and the engine had well over 100k miles on it. Dad was very anal about maintenance and never missed...
  17. Has anyone installed flares AND flaps?

    Awesome! Do either of you have a photo of them from the inside of the fenderwell to show how they were cut/mounted?
  18. Has anyone installed flares AND flaps?

    Our '24 BSBB has the fender flares installed which, according to the Ford build site, negates the mud flaps; you can't get both. I assume they use the same mounting points or something (?) The flares beg to space out the tires which make the mud flaps even more needed than they are now. Has...
