Just in case winter gets boring……. Here is something for you to do to pass the time away.

Many lurkers until a problem shows up. Sort of typical with many forums. One of the reasons it seems like there are so many problems as most don’t jump on just to say how great it is running after 4 years.

I’ve broken all three of your rules. None of my cars or homes ever failed me or left me broke other than a timing belt at 200k plus on a 15 year old Escort. First wife on the other hand……..

The grandkids get in and fit fine in the 2 door Bronco but most adults will fit fine but getting back there isn’t fun. That being said, it’s nice to have the option if needed. My previous toy was a first gen Lightning and it was 3 adults max. I loved my Lightning but the Bronco is way more...

I will admit that is definitely a downside of the 2 door. Getting in the backseat is a pita. But…..it’s the same issue in most 2 door vehicles. I still can’t get used to the 4 door Porsche sports car.

And the correct number of doors!

I’m not aware of any commercially available replacement. I do agree that frozen slush is a pita to remove before pulling into the garage with the fabric liners. The mud flaps do not make the liner any easier to clean.

To answer your question, yes, it is very easy to remove the letters. They are held on with double sided foam tape. Easiest done when warm. Can be assisted with a hair dryer and fishing line. Then clean up residue with some “goo be gone”.

Definitely get it filled if there is any star like cracks. Filling it will prevent water from getting in and then expanding if it freezes. The professional process evacuates the area then fills it with a superglue type sealant that cures under the absence of air.

That felt is a pita. Makes it very difficult to clear the snow and slush out before pulling into the garage.

No need for real chains. Just buy some “Ford liquid tire chains”! :cool:

My daughter who lives in the east valley was just complaining about this yesterday! Way too many old and slows out on a Saturday now. Of course I used to say that too when I was down visiting in Kerrville TX during the winter. Doesn’t anybody work down here! 😎

@Granger Ford, Zach, you would win that bet. The Badlands Sport with the optional Falkens is a beast in the snow.

I have a wireless adapter on my sync 3 and it almost always works flawlessly. But…..I do plug it in on trips longer than 1/2 hour as it does chug through the elections in my phone battery when it’s not plugged in. Otherwise, I’m like @dwrufus53, phone stays in my pocket. I’ve got sync 4 on...

Sounds like your blinker fluid is low. :cool:

The AT3w’s are discontinued, but have still been available for the last year or so. The AT4w’s are heavier than the AT3w’s.

This^^^^. I had an early 90’s Escort that got rear ended. Unfortunately, it was totaled. I bought It from the insurance company and drove it for nearly a year before they balked. I took it to an old body shop where they stretched it straight, replaced the bumper, and threwsome paint on it...

The easiest is one that fits in the hitch receiver or you can get one that mounts on the front recovery hook. Tow Hook Flag Mount Bracket, Compatible with Dune Buggy https://a.co/d/i63x72D

I’m with you on CarPlay. I always have Waze up and running. Much better than my Escort radar detector that became junk after all the radar systems that come in new vehicles.

You can still find them at Discount tire. The 236/65-17 was a custom design for Ford so not exactly the same as the other AT3w’s.
