  1. Anyone else....maybe me? Tired of Bronco owners knocking on the Bronco Sport

    I enjoyed having a power liftgate on my last 2 vehicles (2016 Forester; 2019 Stinger) but I would not trade either the separate opening glass or liftgate lights for the power feature. My wife does enjoy the foot wavy thing on her 2020 Escape but she has more stuff to carry than I do.
  2. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    My experience with window deflectors is that they increase wind noise. Even my low profile EGR visors add some noise. The further they stick out, the more noise.
  3. Any Diecast Models available?

    It’s a great site - especially for the larger scale models - but their pricing is high. That’s why I was so excited to see the new Greenlight casting on the rack at Target. Saved $12 before shipping. EDIT: I really like the 1967 Smokey Bear Bronco. Now THAT I would drop $20 on.
  4. Any Diecast Models available?

    Found this at Target today!
  5. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Not so much TO my Bronco Sport as FOR it. Wrapped my garage rack in pool noodles to protect the lift gate.
  6. New brake pads from recall are terrible (so much brake dust)

    The new pads really do generate unacceptable dust levels. My wheels are atrocious and I’m not putting on many miles per week. I’m looking hard at ceramic pads.
  7. Rear seat tilt?

    I had a 2016 Forester and I honestly can’t recall if the seats reclined. However, the Escape’s rear seat also slide forward and back. Very rare feature for the segment.
  8. Rear seat tilt?

    The 2020+ Ford Escape is the only small SUV I know of with adjustable rear seats. It's a great feature. I just wish the Bronco Sport had it.
  9. Looking For Some Trails

    From the below link: The Uwharrie National Forest provides the only public off-highway vehicle (OHV) or motorized trail system in the Piedmont Region of North Carolina. The Uwharrie OHV trail system ranges from bucolic dirt roads meandering through the forest to some of the most challenging...
  10. Big Bend " Minimalist Overlander" to Costa Rica

    I am sure you'll take and hopefully post many pictures of the trip. Would love to take such a drive myself.
  11. Sync Navigation Map Update NA 2 21 Now Available

    Thinking back to the last upgrade, I think this is exactly what I did when I thought the USB upgrade failed. But reporting the log file via the website should have the same effect. I’ll try Wi-Fi to verify.
  12. Sync Navigation Map Update NA 2 21 Now Available

    Since the only place my BS has reliable wifi is inside my garage, I have auto updates disabled. I follow the manual process for updating via USB. The update drops an XML file back on the flash drive that you can upload to the website to confirm the update. It just doesn't work reliably.
  13. Sync Navigation Map Update NA 2 21 Now Available

    Even after browsing for and finding the newly created XML file on the drive, the website still tells me there is an available update. I've seen that behavior before.
  14. Abbrevation?

    I have always found the rampant oval OBX stickers in North Carolina amusing. Makes me think OB for obstetrician and X for eXtreme ... as in extreme sports rather than Outer Banks.
  15. Sync Navigation Map Update NA 2 21 Now Available

    Has anyone captured what the current version displays as? I am showing 3.4 Build 22200_PRODUCT after updating and I'm not sure that is correct.
  16. Just a nice photo of my Big Bend

    The piston rims just scream "TRUCK!!!" to me. Simple, clean, chunky. I love 'em!
  17. In Stock! New RIVAL Hood Lifts

    I worry more about service people being overly aggressive. My dad had a van with "dealer installed dents" that he went round and round with the dealer on for at least a year before giving up and trading the vehicle for another brand.
  18. In Stock! New RIVAL Hood Lifts

    Is the tension adjustable such that it is not nigh impossible to shut the hood? Asking for an owner of Redline Racing struts ...
  19. Anyone else....maybe me? Tired of Bronco owners knocking on the Bronco Sport

    I haven't interacted with any full sized Bronco owners but I have had several Jeep owners inform me I don't have a "real" offroader. Of course, both of these discussions occurred in shopping center parking lots and I pointed of there was no need for rock crawl mode on the way to or from picking...
