Anybody try something like this?
I don’t have a problem with wind noise, but if there is something to lessen the noise, I’m for it. I don’t like what this guy did to lower wind noise. Anybody do anything else? You would think Ford would add a rubber trim in that gap.
Changing speakers to Kickers.
I have a 2025 BS OB.
It was supposed to come with an “upgrade” to B&O better sound. We’ll. I felt a need for more drive.
First thing I discovered was the Kickers are nearly twice the weight of B&O. That means bigger magnets.
The cones look oh so much better, as well.
I can say that I was surprised by the dash layout and the speakers in general. They were not as I found on the internet.

Installed the Bronco Sport Aeroskin II Textured Hood Deflector
Got the Ford15 discount on the Ford accessories page. Install was pretty easy. I used painters tape to align it.
Missing the exaggerated turbo flutter of the 1.5L
I recall there was some kind of plug or cap for an F150 that went somewhere on the intake or PCV line that some were using to let more induction and turbo noise out. But I can’t find info on it anymore.
I’ve also thought about adding a blow off valve. The only bolt on option so far is a Turbosmart VTA. Which is just a pressure releif. Which is fine, I have the dual port on my focus ST. I really do prefer the tial BOV sound though…

Comfortable for longer road trips? Thinking of buying.
My wife likes the look of the broncos but is concerned about how comfortable they might be for a 10 hour road trip. We live in Alberta and drive to Saskatchewan occasionally (as infrequently as I can help it).
It would be a badlands trim. Unlikely Sasquatch, but if we found a great deal it could happen. She drives a Ram 1500 right now and finds it comfortable so she’s not Lexus fussy or anything. She likes the open feeling of the cab – she has some claustrophobia and she’s a bit taller, 5…

Dash cam decisions
John recommended the Vantrue E1 Pro 4K. It’s at the top of my list. I also added the Rove R2 4K dual dashcam as a consideration.
The Vantrue was listed on Amazon for $130 the last week or so. Today it’s back to the regular price of $150.
The Rove is still at $130 today on Amazon.
I decided to order both and eyeball each and get a hands on feel for both. I’ll return one of them.
I put both in the cart…
After hours researching dashcams and ready posts here, I’ve narrowed it down to 2.

How’ve you modified your hatch Ford oval emblem?
So far this is where I am leaning (mine is an Outerbanks):
Now that I swapped out the rear hatch emblems with OEM gloss black and added the bucking bronco, I am wanting to darken up the Ford oval. There are many options from the OEM black and brushed oval, to custom ones with mountains, decals/overlays. Curious as to what all you have done.

Lift kits 2” for 2024 Bronco Sport Badland?
has anyone attempted to install a 2” lift kit on a bronco sport? What if any issues did you encounter. It doesn’t have any room for bigger tires. I’m new to the Bronco world. Thank you for any advise
Pictures from your childhood, boomer edition…
It doesn’t look like that anymore.
I miss you, dad.
I’m 68 this year, and dad has been gone for quite a while. This pic is from Midway Island. Look at that water…
