Early Bronco

Mounting 1” ball mounts, bolts on dash are M6. 1.0

Mounting 1” ball mounts, bolts on dash are M6. 1.0
Just an FYI the Bronco mounting bolts behind the dash screen on the 2025 Badlands Sasquatch are M6 1.0

I ordered some Ram Mount 1” tough balls to mount my handheld GMRS radio and discovered this. I read somewhere that they were standard 1/4” 20 bolts and that’s incorrect

anyway hope to save someone else the trouble.

Winter Weather Windshield Cover

Can anyone recommend a good windshield cover that won’t sag, will cover side mirrors and won’t fly off in the wind? Husband is leary about buying anything with flaps to go into door jams/frames. He doesn’t want snow, ice or rain inside (naturally). I’d appreciate the help or insight. Thanks!

Saying good bye

We have enjoyed our 2021 BS BB, but life is changing with grandbaby #2 arriving. One car seat was not bad, it will be impossible for us to take two grandbabies with the Chicco car seats we have, leaving no comfortable passenger and driver space up front.
Time to let our BS go and move on to a larger, more spacious suv. Have our eyes on a used Toyota Highlander with a premium package.
This forum has been a wealth of information and inspiration. It has helped us several times with our BS…

After Reading about Issues, Then Paying for Issues, Moving On

I bought my 22 OB 3 years ago and generally speaking we liked driving it. However I have experienced to many of the issues that so many others have on here, The last straw was a cracked Catylitic converter spewing exhaust into the cabin through the HVAC (And it is a pavement queen). Diff issues, brake issues, leaking axles, leaking Trans, and finally every mechanic I follow on You-Tube says NEVER buy a Ford Eco-boost 4 cyl powered car. Not New, Not pristine, not low mileage, NEVER!

Engine oil, 5-20 Or?

The ‘net seems to be suggesting that 05-20 or 0-20 oil is too low a viscosity to properly protect bearings etc in many newer engines.
If you own a BS with the 1.5L engine, does this worry you?
Would you run a 1.5L on oil with a viscosity of.. X-30 as a precaution?
Would you do this in a vehicle still under warranty?
Do you believe that frequency of oil changes is the most important factor?
It seems that despite the woes that some BS / 1.5L owners have had with their vehicles, bottom…

Redline Hood Struts

The most ridiculously easy most satisfying mod. I’ll take an easy job any day….
hec, all I do is problem solve everyday.
I went to put these on my Bronco today and they are super easy, well packed, great instructions and they really work well.
Hardware is nicely painted, fit exactly as described, and the struts snapped right in.
Yeah – I’ll take easy when I can get it.
Funny how such a simple mod for the hood makes you feel like your Bronco just went up a notch.

Received some Xmas gifts for the 2025 Badlands.

Flag decals for the side vents.
Tuffskinz “BRONCO” letters for the passenger side dash.
Silver metal knob kit for the console controls and dash knobs.

The one issue I have with the silver knob kit is that the volume knob has an inside diameter approximately .140 inches smaller than the outside diameter of the volume knob.

No way in hell that it will fit. I’m not sure…
