  1. Check your skid plate studs and torx screws

    I went to Lowes and got replacement bolts for my Bronco. I was also missing the nut plate on the front skid.

  4. Skid plate bolt missing on my First Edition

    The dealer said that the nut plate is internally welded to the boxed frame and cannot be repaired. So I will be tapping the hole with a 10mm tap and got a screw that will fit. Hope I will be able to remedy, otherwise I will have a useless skid plate I just bought.

    I was riding in the desert, turned onto a dirt road to turn around and while backing, the passenger front dropped into a washout ditch after recent rain.

  19. Should you wait to drive in Sport Mode?

    Yea, Sport Mode makes a big difference in the way it drives. I traded in a Focus ST with basically the same motor and I am impressed. But I don't do Sport Mode much. You have the 3 year 36K mile warranty, if something happens it should be covered.
