I am with you 100%, 1st year is always hard. And there are so many types of it which only adds issues. Bronco Sport- 4 versions Bronco ("traditional?)- 6 versions and offered in 2 or 4 door models. And while I'm sure there is alot of overlap of parts, that seems like a lot of variability-...

Wow.....Well I hope they get the bugs worked out. It would be good to have more competition in that space than less.

I could be wrong but maybe they rushed some parts of it which is why he's seeing that. Or maybe it's typical 1st year bugs in a new design. No idea. I like the looks of them but it's not something I would use/buy. But I get the appeal.

I thought this was an interesting article. I'm not buying a new Bronco but I thought the mechanic pointed out some good items to look for if you are buying one- not that this should prevent you from getting one, just sort of a "pay attention to" or "keep an eye on" kind of thing...

Make one out of plywood or similar and see if it helps. Cheap enough to determine before spending $ on something that doesn't work.

This is going to come off as harsh and I don't mean it that way. But I really think this is a "buyer beware" type of product. The 5 gallon one is $200 and comes with a huge legal contract for its use (See end of the page linked). For me I will keep using approved containers. I can see the...

Maybe determine the rpm the engine is at when you get the vibration and then see if you get the same when the tranny is in 2nd or 1st gear. If it's engine related only I'm thinking you should have the same vibration at that rpm no matter the speed of the vehicle. But if you don't get it at...

Well done. Great looking rig and I'm sure it will be a good platform for you for years to come!

I'll bet on the hubs, especially given the cold v hot aspect. Well also bc you already replaced the axles. I used a come-along (and a hammer and pry bar) to pull the one I replaced on my Yukon. They're kind of a ********** to get off. Good luck I hope this fixes it for once and for all! Did the...

Just looked them up....pretty cool.

In that 2nd pic is that an ice fishing tent? I wondered if one of those would be a decent option for winter camping.

Love the Scout. I read VW might bring it back. They're talking abt an all electric version it seems. I would love to see it w/ a small diesel.

I agree with the comments above- only a scale will give you an accurate picture of the loads per axle. I saw a CAT scale receipt for a 2500 Duramax CCSB- total weight was 7,380# (w/driver & fuel), front was 4,260#, rear 3,120#. Your camper will obviously put more weight on the rear but also some...

I have a couple of cheap versions and have had luck with them but I think it ultimately comes down to time given their lower CFM and duty cycle. I know I've overheated some. Not that hanging out or using it as a beer stop doesn't have its merits but it does get old. Finding a happy medium of...

Not sure what size you're running but the LT versions handle decent weight it seems. https://m.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?tireMake=Michelin&tireModel=Defender+LTX+M%2FS&partnum=67R8DLTX

Nice looking truck. I'm a fan of GM's in general but really like the new ones. Also I'm with the comments here re GM's IFS. I get rock crawlers may need solid axle but the GM IFS has been used enough to be just fine for most uses. And I'm with ya on the supply chain issues. And doesn't look...

That's helpful thanks. Appreciate the additional info.

This might sound like a stupid idea and I have no idea if it will work but it might be hard for you to discern where the vibration is coming from as you are driving. I wonder if having someone sit in the 3rd row and put a glass of water in the cup holders on both sides. Get the vibration going...

Great write up thank you! I appreciate the effort you put in to post it all. Its one of the ones on my To-do list for sure.

In reading different threads here where people cite the onboard air systems they are using or asking about I put a table of different compressors with some specs together that might be helpful. I know I'm surprised at the variations in CFM different systems offer. Keep in mind this is only the...
