    New tires installed: BFG Trail-Terrain T/A

    I'm still at stock height and as of yet (about 1 year on) I haven't noticed any rub with the 245s.

    Extended Warranty Advice

    That's good to know. I figure any new application could have some glitches though, and then add in COVID-challenges... that was my thought process anyway.

    Extended Warranty Advice

    I have the Ford ESP for 84,000 miles, which for my driving needs will get me to 5 years (hopefully). I looked at it specifically because this was a new model and the oldest one on the road is a 2021, so no one really knows how this particular configuration of parts will work in the long term...

    Transceiver Installation thread (Ham, CB, GMRS). Radio unit and antenna installation on Bronco Sport

    So, I am currently using this: https://a.co/d/iDnWqDJ I picked mine up at Home Depot. It works great in the winter, spring and fall. However, in the summer, my ethernet jack did fall off (I live in Southern Colorado and we get some pretty warm days around here). I haven't found anything yet...

    I have come to a conclusion....

    My BB is almost 14 months old to the day, 31,080 miles on it. I love my car, and have had no real issues with it. I had the two recalls - but I knew buying a new model car that recalls were possible and it was a risk I was okay taking because I was excited about the car. I'd rather there be...

    What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    While cool, if you did this in 2023: Black Bear Pass from the San Miguel County line down to Telluride has not been opened (yet) for vehicle traffic this year. Road status should be verified with San Miguel County and not through social media. Please respect the status of trails so they aren't...

    How often do you drive your Bronco Sport?

    It's my only ride, so when I need to go places outside quick walk/bike distance it also gets to go (unless I drive my mom's car to occasionally start it up, which is a 2013 Escape). For work, two days a week I have to be in Denver so my round trip each day for that is 225 miles; the other three...

    Interior Fuse Box Analysis: Switch vs. Always-On for Fuse Taps

    I tried a few, but here's the ones I think fit best: https://www.autozone.com/starting-charging-and-miscellaneous-electrical/fuse-power-tap/p/bussmann-circuit-fuse-tap/547344_0_0 I did a write up of my GMRS radio/dashcam install here, but here's the relevant fuse tap picture:

    who has the bfg ko2 245/65/17 on their BS BIG BEND with out lift kit just stock

    I did let some air out, but I'll check tire pressure tomorrow again and see if I can let more out. I wondered too if this piece (pic) might be in the wrong place in my car. It did not like the groove pattern in my tires. I didn't have any carpet or a pad other than those two small black pieces...

    who has the bfg ko2 245/65/17 on their BS BIG BEND with out lift kit just stock

    I'll try again tomorrow and see if I crawl on there if it will go down further! Thanks for the picture to show yours, I was like... I must have the odd ball car. Ha.

    who has the bfg ko2 245/65/17 on their BS BIG BEND with out lift kit just stock

    Does your floor piece gap? I have the tow package and I had a full size spare, but when I switched up to my BFG Trail-Terrain TA 245/65R17, I got a 5th for the spare and I had a heck of a time getting it in the space. My floor piece gaps at the back, so either I got the wrong floor piece or...

    Thule Crossbar Help - 2022 Big Bend

    I'm a third WingBar Evo 53" and Crossroads 450r footpack vote (although I am not the biggest fan of the Crossroads 450r, I think it makes noise). Thule says the WingBar Edge will fit, so I'd give it a go. You can buy from almost anywhere. I've bought Thule from Amazon, REI, Eastern Mountain...

    New tires installed: BFG Trail-Terrain T/A

    Awesome :) I want to put a lift on mine but I am sort of waiting for a friend to get his shop lift up and running before doing that. And I think I'll need new tires before the shop is ready HAHA.

    What's the worst exterior mod you've done, or viewed done?

    I've actually never done this pass; when we were kids my mom wanted to go up to Bridal Veil falls and we started up the 2 way section coming up from Telluride - we made it to a pull out and walked up a ways to take some pictures, well before the powerplant (for those wondering - if you're...

    What's the worst exterior mod you've done, or viewed done?

    https://www.denver7.com/news/local-news/woman-seriously-injured-after-car-rolls-down-black-bear-pass-near-telluride One of the reasons I decided to look at the BS, actually. If it could survive this fall this intact, I thought that was pretty good.

    Theft from Vehicle

    Sorry about your hitch cover! Someone stole my plain, black, no frills plastic hitch cover that was like $6, so I'm not sure even the design matters. I'm replacing it with a $5 plain, black, no frills plastic hitch cover that has holes drilled so I can use my locking hitch pin on it...
