3W Valentine’s 30% Discount | How to Choose A Right Floor Mat Material?

When choosing car floor mats, most discussions focus on fit, coverage, or appearance. However, the material itself plays a far more critical role—especially when it comes to health, safety, and pet-friendliness.

PVC: Low Cost, High Risk
PVC mats are widely used due to their low manufacturing cost. However, they often rely on plasticizers and chemical additives to remain flexible. Over time, these substances can release strong odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly…

Show off your Roof Rack

Hey all,
Starting a thread for all options of roof racks. If you have one please post a pic and share the manufacturer info! Tells us what your loving or hating about it.

Rhino rack pioneer platform in 2 sizes:
60×49” recommended on rhinorack.com
76×49” I think fits the size of the roof better and gives a good overhang to mount a light bar to the rack (next upgrade)

New Project: Swapping the digital cluster from a 2025 Bronco Sport to a 21-24 model

Will it work? Most likely. Will it fit? I don’t know. There’s only one way to find out, and that is FAFO. I see the 12.3″ clusters selling on ebay off of wrecked 2025 BS’s for dirt cheap. I just picked one up for $180+tax with free shipping. I am not too concerned with the programming part as I don’t think that will be too difficult. The one I bought came off of a BS with less miles than mine so that I can program the correct and actual mileage my BS has onto it. On the full size Broncos…

DIY Foglight Brackets for Badlands

So here’s a very specific fringe case for a simple foglight bracket…

Took part in the Thunderbird TSD Rally this year in BC – about 600 miles of navigating backroads in snow, ice, and mud. I needed some solid supplemental lighting for fog and snow conditions and had a pair of good old reliable Hella 500s sitting around. Compared to car headlights from the 90’s the Bronco’s headlights are incredible, but having an additional set of yellow spotties made a huge difference when the heavy fog…

Low Coolant level on 2024 Badlands 2.0

Question(s) for the group

I have a 24 BL with 23k on it and recently noticed low coolant. Since purchased near the end of ’24 it’s been at the same factory level since purchased and now as ’26 starts I’ve noticed it was pretty low (1st photo)

I took it to my local dealer and while the service advisor guessed it was a water pump (not a known problem on the 2.0 like the 1.5) they air pressure tested it and put dye in and said they found no leaks and topped it off (2nd photo). They…
