I had similar looking damage to one of my Broncos. I backed into a gate and crunched the hatch and rear bumper. I ended up fixing it myself with a used rear hatch I got off ebay for $1600 (total including shipping) in the same color. I replaced the rear hatch myself and decided not to fix the...
I have both engines. I average 27-29 with the 1.5 and the best I've recorded with it on a longer road trip was 31. As for the 2.0, it's lower in mpgs but higher in ground clearance and tire size so that makes a difference. Anyway, with the 2.0, I average 24-26 and the best I have gotten with...
Thanks, yes it was a very fun trail. One of my favorites, I recommend it if you are ever there. Yes I know, it is funny to see the look on some people's faces of surprise and wonder. I went up the same trail this summer and I got a lot of thumbs up and "hey that's cool" kind of comments, I...
Yes, I have heard something about the quality of oil being a problem too. Definitely something to consider. My shop had to special order the oil they used to top off my diffs.
For me it was Goose Lake in Red River, NM. It was a fun trail that was very rewarding once I made it to the top. Great views and a very fun experience. You can see my write up on that trail here.
Back in June of '21 I installed a FordRangerLIfts 1.25 lift on my Bronco with only 5,000 miles on it. Now 4 1/2 years and 65,000 miles later, I am still happy with it and have no complaints. I have driven my Bronco on mountain trails over the years and it has racked up a lot of miles on the...
I had the driver side stud and bolt fall out that holds the hanger for the muffler. Seems strange to me that both the nut and the stud would fall out, but oh well, it's fixed for now with some wire. The treads where the stud go are a bit rusty, I don't think it had been like this for long as...
I I have 2 Bronco Sports. Both 2021 year models. One is a FE and the other an OBX. FE has 70,000 miles, OBX has 45,000. Both had incorrect fluid levels in one or both of the differentials, and the OBX also had the incorrect fluid level in the transmission. Here is my account of this ordeal...
Yes I did. It was pretty straightforward. Took about 5 hours though. I started with just hand tools and later progressed to power tools which made things go much faster. I recommend watching Robby’s video on YouTube. It was very helpful.
It’s 1 1/4 on top of the 1 inch increase from the factory. No, I don’t feel the need to re-gear, it wasn’t a huge increase in size. I don’t notice any difference in how it drives and it handled the mountain roads great.
I’ve had the 1 1/4 in kit on for almost a month now and have had no problems. It drives the same as it did stock. I installed it myself and the instructions and video were very helpful and straightforward. I recommend air tool or an electric impact to make things easier if you are planning to...
I think they would probably fit. I have seen a couple of owners on here that have put that size tire on without problems. At the same time, I have also seen one account on FB where the owner showed that the tires do rub (it didn’t look like much, but you could see where it was rubbing the...
