Waiting for a refresh is a good idea just for the infotainment system if nothing else. It should get updated and the current one is fine, but not great. Like others have already said, make sure you pay for the extra tech package to get 360+ instead of the basic "360". That's the one with the...

Yep. Distance / collision avoidance is radar, lane centering and other parts are based on the camera behind the rear view mirror. Personally, I love it, and the BS is way better than the big bronco in this regard. It's a pretty good system. It backs off gradually. Its closest distance setting...

Worth a watch! It's a badlands (well, heritage limited) vs the TRD RAV4.

I think the focus RS would have beat us there, but hey, that don't make it anymore, and it's just a lighter BS badlands, right? :p Nevermind, it's the 2.3, isn't it? Either way, the BS is surprisingly peppy.

Fwiw, your picture shows a standard Yakima setup. It's not especially low profile. I have the same thing. It's also lower profile than many of the crossbars, but it's standard yakima towers and a "b" size platform, iirc. It does sit on separate towers that attach to the rails and not on the...

I removed them from the stainless version on mine. Had trouble getting all of the residue off, but I didn't use a heat gun or goo-be-gone, and I've heard the combination of the two makes it very easy.

We're in salt lake, but definitely planning to explore a lot of different places now that we're out here. The Christmas trip I mentioned is actually down to the hurricane/st George area. Definitely excited about that!!

I've often said that the sport is the perfect vehicle for our lifestyle. I.e. living in a city with only room for one car, needs to do a fair bit of moderate offroading, needs to haul a dog and camping gear, needs to still fit in a parking garage even with a roof rack on it, needs to be able to...

Well, I mean, the 2dr big bronco is exactly that. As someone who drives both the sport and a 2dr 6th gen, the first thing you should do to a 2dr bronco is remove the rear seats so that there's at least some cargo room and a place for the dog. There's not much horizontal space in it. The...

This is also one of those "completely frivolous but so so so worth it" mods. It really does make your life a lot easier. I also went with the redline struts, but I assume the Ford performance ones are essentially identical. The install on the sport is really straightforward. More so than many...

I haven't had that specific issue, but the throttle response and shift points can be a little weird in normal mode sometimes because it tries to learn response based on driving style/etc. One quick check to see if that is the issue is to put in into eco mode or sport mode and see if the same...

It's also worth pointing out that public repeater networks are more of a community than focused on utilitarian communication. You can use GMRS for normal trail/etc communications and never worry about repeaters beyond occasionally hearing folks' transmissions from far away and being confused as...

I figured it was worth writing up a bit more about exactly what approach I took, just in case it's useful for someone else. Like most folks, I took the fuse tap approach and used fuse #3, which is unused by default and ignition switched. 10a should be plenty for a 15 watt radio and I didn't...

That's awesome! Velocity blue is gorgeous. I just wish it had been an option on the 21's. Where did you get the rear quarter panel and rear seat cupholder graphics? Those are really nifty and I haven't seen those patterns before. Congrats on the move, new job, and awesome vehicle!

I finally gave up and went with a cut/drilled jack below the glovebox. (Radio installed in glovebox so I still have access to the USB port on it. Also, I hadn't put the panels back when I took this pic, so forgive the clutter.) The jack actually doesn't quite fit due to hitting an aluminum...

Wow... Just to confirm, we did get manual covers in previous years. I get that it's not terribly necessary, but it is nice. FWIW, though. I just bought a big bronco (keeping the sport too), and it did not have the manual cover. I kinda missed it. I figured that was just because the big bronco...

@SapphireCat (or anyone else doing similar things) - First off, thanks for your writeups on this and other things (e.g. fuse diagrams/etc). I wound up taking a nearly identical approach and they helped a lot. However, I'm stymied by something really simple: How did you manage to get...

Y'all do great work! I've seen some of it around town here in Houston! If you're taking broad/vague requests for new designs: More rear quarter panel glass options would be neat. The current flag and topography designs are great, but not quite my cup of tea. I love the subtlety of way they...

Also, the ptu and transmission are actually rated for slightly less torque than the 2.0 puts out, IIRC...

I also run Toyo OC AT3's in the same size. I've had them for the past two years and have been very impressed so far. Perhaps there's been a bit more tread wear than I expected, but it's a long way from being a problem. I've inadvertently heavily abused the sidewalls on several trails and had...
