It's actually really cool once you set it up. You can lock your keys inside on a hike or simply have access when you forget your keys.

Ford's are notorious for crappy door panels. The rattling is coming from the hard plastics on the handle. My Ford fusion did this. I took the panel off and put foam tape along any seam that touched the plastics bits and 100% of the noise disappeared. The bronco is next when I get some free time.

You're correct, the struts struggle to keep the hatch up, even worse when it's loaded. Everything you attach there will hit you in the forehead, and if you have the cargo management shelf, like I do, you have space things out so it misses the shelf.

Torque converters are bad. Had mine swapped at 57000 miles. The 1.5l engine also has problematic water pumps. If ur near 60k, replace both

This looks great. After driving through Baja, and thousands of bugs, I'm pretty sure this is a must have. I'm hoping it stops some of the small rocks that damage the hood/windshield/roof line right above the glass. Seems like the glass is pretty vulnerable to chipping and cracking (I've fixed...

Here is a before and after of the RTR 1.30" leveling kit. I think they make the Larger 245/65/17s sit better. Install was easy-ish and the stance is not overdone. (Windows down is the before) You can't really tell, but before I installed the leveling kit, the Bronco did look squatty with the...

What kind of rear shelf?

Here are the photos I promised

It's pretty thick sheet metal. Not much sag at all. It held a full 2 gallon rotopax for a week with no problem and my bars were already 35" apart so it dropped right in. I'll drop a picture of it later today...

I have the Thule Evo bars with 2 Thule UpRide bike mounts. Ive also mounted a 35" flat panel from JCR Off-road between them for added storage. Notes: 1. Evo bars look great and no wind whistle. They are aluminum and the channel where the bolts slide in place is not strong enough for heavy...

I have the EVAP/Floor Skids + Engine Skid with additional Bash plate from JCR... After banging these things around a bit, I can say the Engine Skid and Bash plate take most of the beating, I would start with those. I can also report that drilling through the pinch seams for the EVAP/Floor Skids...

No rubbing at all

Fuel Zephyr + 245/65/17 Toyo Open Country AT3s + RTR 1.3" lift kit

Fuel Zephyr with Toyo Open Country AT3s 245/65/17. Slight rub, but haven't heard it since new to be honest. I did install the RTR 1.30" lift kit for added clearance. Had a really hard time buying theses but I was persistent and got a set!

I crossed over in TJ, and drove down this beautiful canyon called LA Rumorosa and stayed 1 night at a hot springs called Los Manantiales, drove across a dry lake bed, then camped on beaches all the way down to La Paz. If anyone is interested in the beaches, I'd recommend Playa San Luis Gonzaga...

Solo trip

Took the Bronco Sport to Baja. Made it all the way to La Paz camping on the beaches and off roading. I have so much respect for what the BS can actually do! It's much much more that a cool lil SUV. The miles of off-roading and muddy lake beds were not even a challenge for the BS!

Update: Got the BS back a week ago from Star Ford of Glendale. They replaced the torque converter and the shuttering is gone. Glad it was resolved before the power train warranty was up. Towed a trailer from LA to Palm springs immediately after, and been driving it for a week and no more issues.

I've got my '22 BS Outer banks at Star Ford in Glendale CA currently for the shudder problem. They told me it was the Torque Converter almost immediately and ordered a new one. The problem started at 56,000 miles. I should get it back next week and I'll keep u guys posted. At 56k: I've had an...
