Spare tire flip! Credit and thanks to NMhunter as I appreciate this idea that I had never considered or thought about in the past! Today I flipped my spare, found a proper bolt with washers to secure it, and put my NOCO 2000A battery booster, 12V tire inflator w/repair kit, and the Bronco tool...
Yup these can get really bad. My son has a 2014 Fusion and recently had new tires put on. The shop had to DESTROY 3 of these lug nuts to get them off then we had to wait 3 hours for a courier to show up with replacement lug nuts. Having a flat then being unable to get these off myself would piss...
I hear you and I am a current AAA member. In todays world in cities like Philadelphia a breakdown can lead to a dangerous situation. For a minor issue like this I would much rather change it myself and get back on the road ASAP instead of taking a chance waiting like a sitting duck for...
After our return flight to Philadelphia we loaded up our luggage in the BSport and started heading home. 10 minutes into the drive while merging onto I-95 the TPMS sensor threw an alarm and I watched as the tire pressure went to zero in about 10 seconds. I pulled over onto the shoulder and sure...
Love my Badlands Sport. Usable space in the back is not on my list of strengths. However everything is relative - I would recommend you go to a dealer with any BSport on the lot, open up the tailgate and see for yourself in person. Put the second row seats down, see what it looks like, try out...
Foam wash, rinse, and towel dry both garage occupants. Check out the roof lines in these side by side pictures - my 2012 LR4 and my BSport. I think the BSport looks like a mini LR4 more than any other vehicle and Ford nailed the look. Land Rover wussied out on their Discovery Sport otherwise...
The one thing I dislike so far is the tailgate with the huge amount of space needed to open it and it seems my chest is always in the way and gets hit. The glass opening works fine for small items only so most of the time I need to open the whole thing. Would love for the design to change and be...
Even if there were multiple manufacturing sites for the BSport I don't believe it would matter quality wise nearly as much as the engineering and design for all the components that are then shipped to the site to put together. Yes there would certainly be some issues with overall assembly...
No I would not move down to a 6G Bronco. I have an LR4 that is miles above it in every category and the BSport is the perfect companion to fill my garage.
Haha totally agree with the overland showboaters. My use case would be a campsite destination near a lake with our two kayaks on the roof and the hitch mounted tent. Seems a very quick setup which is more appealing to me as I get older.
Great tires.....have you seen this old article regarding "Wrangler" for the 6G? I never even think about this relationship between vehicle and tire brands and models. LOL anyway let us know how they do traction wise and wear I think they will turn out great...
I ordered my BSport Badlands after a lot of thought and consideration about ordering a 6G Bronco. MSRP for either one wasn't an issue but ADM definitely was - not because of unaffordability because of the principle of the deal and greedy dealers. So I waited until the BSport Badlands was offered...
Washed her up this morning after a 2700 mile road trip. I need to get something to remove bug guts from the hood front edge and the top right above the windshield. The BSport is an amazing vehicle to drive at 80 mph which was the speed of most drivers the last two days. No noticeable wind noise...
