    Nice you should tint the tails and murder it out.

  3. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Today the 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend got: Matte Black Overlay Letters Front & Rear Rear Smoked Chrome Ford Oval Rival Hood Gas Struts I was going over the list of minor mods and accessories I've bought for the BS. It's easy to spend spend spend. That Chrome Oval, for example, is...

  4. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    The items I added are functional and for a look I wanted. A gas cap serves no function. More of an inconvenience if anything but 'whatever floats your boat'. :wink:

  5. Liftgate supports/hatch gas struts failure

    I don't have the paperwork from my dealer, but I do have dealer.parts.ford.com tuned in to 2023 Bronco Sport and the liftgate parts are listed on backorder there too: My guess is that OEMPartsonline Lakeland ford etc. are assuming the parts are available for order and then would follow up with...

  6. Liftgate supports/hatch gas struts failure

    Have not encountered the failure but were you provided paperwork showing the part number for the tailgate right and left side gas struts? I’ve been told national back order, no parts available and Google search turns up the Ford parts, call to confirm and parts were available for delivery.

  7. Liftgate supports/hatch gas struts failure

    Hello all, Have an in-warranty failure after less than a year of ownership that is a bit odd. The gas struts that support the liftgate while open have failed completely on my 23 BS BL. The hatch now actively falls as fast as gravity permits if not actively held up by hand. I took it to my...

  8. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    From the owner's manual (2021 Owner's Manual, Liftgate, page 70, or 2024 Owners Manual, Liftgate, p.71): Note: Do not hang anything, for example a bike rack, from the glass or liftgate. This could damage the liftgate and its components. Don't expect warranty coverage of your hatch or lift...

  9. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    Do you happen to have the two extra strut adapters from Amazon and would you be willing to sell them?

  10. Hood Lift Struts

    I have Redline props on my Ranger. For the Bronco Sport I went with this from Amazon: "RERPRO Hood Struts Lift Support Kit for Ford Bronco Sport 2021 2022 2023 Accessories Front Quick Hood Lift Supports Shocks Gas Springs Prop Rod Replacements, 2 Pack Black" https://a.co/d/877jOkz Virtually...

  11. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    ...I had to secure a couple things with zipties because of the cross brace and secure the functionally useless proprod because I installed gas struts a while ago, I probably should just remove it entirely, but I'm leaving it there incase its broken down somewhere and I need to hit things with a...

  12. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Small things I've done (not all today): Got a VIN etching kit and etched all the glass. VIN Etching from the dealer is a scam because it's grossly overpriced, and some places may offer it for free in your community (local police departments, AAA, etc.) either continuously or in pop-up events)...

  13. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    Much appreciated on the detail! Looks like the Molle panel is back on the menu! I think I might go with the recommended struts so I can keep the force equal on both sides. I've been steadily trying to slowly prep my BS for small 3 or 4 day camping trips. Space is at a premium. This helps a lot.

  14. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    What fortuitous timing for you to ask. I just got the fittings in that I was waiting for to finish the project. I had also reached out to JCR and got the same response. Reading it again, I now know what they meant by the angled adapter. They mean these. You will need an angled fitting on the...

  15. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    Update: These CRV struts are much weaker than the OEM Bronco Sport struts. Going to have to go more custom. Update 2: Just took the OEM strut and checked it on a scale. It takes about 170 lbs-F to compress. Off to McMaster-Carr I go. Update 3: McMaster-Carr option is sold out, so I'm trying...

  16. JCR Rear Hatch MOLLE Panel - Weight Problem

    ...love it. But I quickly realized that adding even just a few items to the panel causes significant sag in the rear hatch. The OEM liftgate gas struts are simply not strong enough to handle any extra weight on the hatch. Has anyone encountered this problem on their Bronco Sport or other...

  19. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Issue(s)

    ...not pushing down on the hood when closing to latch it. Let it drop from a foot or so and it will latch on its own. If you have installed gas struts then push very carefully on the bend in the metal where it curves down in the front. The bend will be more rigid than the flat part, making it...

  20. We love our BS.... but name one thing you dislike about it

    Actually you pretty much nailed it. But at this price point I agree. I am lucky with South Bay Ford, they are pretty good to deal with. I also came out of German cars (Porsche and BMW).
