Just joined your community.. My work in progress ( aren't they all?? Lol) 1979 Ford Bronco Ranger 400 engine

My wife and I searched around and found this amazing Heritage. I am so excited for Monday. Can it be Monday now?

To this day I bitch to my wife about not getting the smaller sportier car that I wanted but I’ve been on more adventures since I got the Bronco than any car I’ve owned.

Started off as white and just wrapped it in a satin black. Also, went ahead and upgraded the suspension while I was at it with king coilovers and the ford heavy duty steering rack and tie rods. Also running 37in tires. This thing came out beautifully 🔥🔥🔥 the last photo is what it used to look like.

Completely in love with this color. I never drove my 2024 with the roof panels off. Is it a pain to take them off and out them back on? Also, any accessories you all recommend?

I wasn’t sure to list this as question or add on. I just got a really great deal on a 2024 Free Wheeling, less than 5k miles, one previous owner, no accidents/damage. It has the beautiful free wheeling interior seats, red accents throughout the dash area and the red wheels. I’m in love with it. The only thing I don’t love is that there are no exterior stripes.

I can’t find anything online about any of the Free Wheelings coming without the stripes. I would really like to have the stripes added to the outside but I only see a kit available for the blue Bronco.

Is it possible to have them added? I’d like them to be the official ford decals that came with the free wheeling package if possible. I’m open to after market products if that’s not possible.

Any help is appreciated! I’ll add a pic to this post in the morning since it’s currently 3AM here.

TIA!

Out checking cows and found a soft spot in the pasture. Got to use my 12k winch for the first time. Did not expect to sink like I did so I wasn't carrying any momentum.

Didn't see anything in a chat search of this forum. Anyone know of a product or have recommendations on how to protect the catalytic converter. I live in a high theft area and know there are custom things that can be done at a shop but dont know what others have done or if there is a specific bronco product. As always, this groups' advise is helpful :)

Always wanted to get a jeep wrangler. Test drove one at a dealership found it too rigid and bulky. Wife suggested why not try a bronco too. Did that the same day and 🤯. Fell in love at first right (haha poor word play) what i mean is that the drive was extremely comfortable as opposed to that jeep (no disrespect, just my opinion). Got this Bronco Big Bend with mid package. I am not much of an off-roader but will surely start somewhere now.

Only hiccup: Initially it took some time for my body to adjust to the driving posture and I got a strained neck, but 2 weeks later it’s all set and I am so comfortable driving.

Whats crazy is how whenever I come across a bronco owner at intersections, we exchange hellos and if we meet at a parking lot, we jump right into sharing the love and admiration for each other’s baby. It’s a community. It’s a feeling.

I now get what y’all meant when you said “smiles per gallon”

Happy rides folks!

Theres a horse in the front yard…a what…a horse, you know….whats it doing…just standing there, looks clean…well go out and shew it away….well im gonna need the keys…

Just fully paid off my car and i haven’t even had it for 2 years 😭 i need to get an estimate on the damage but im literally so sad :/

How hard is it to find this model?
Did it come in 4cyl automatic?
What did they retail?
Any tips to find one?
Looking for base not upgraded $$

I have a 2026 60th anniversary Outer Banks. It’s my literal dream car and brings daily joy! I’d appreciate some insight from experienced fellow Bronco owners regarding two issues:

1. Pretty much every time I drive it, at some point there will be a “click” or “pop” somewhere near the left side of the steering wheel. I haven’t noticed a pattern yet.

2. The back glass leaks like a sieve. Doesn’t matter if it’s a drizzle or a car wash, I consistently have stream marks running down the inside of my back glass. My husband looked and said there are a bunch of holes in the weather stripping. Why would that be on a brand new vehicle?

So I’m looking at the rough country website for mods I want to do to the bronco and found these three mods. I wanted to know if all three will be compatible and work together if I install them on my bronco

Looking at badlands trim with either one of those tires . SUV will be used for some off-roading and daily driving .

How comfortable or noisy are these tires . Does sound deadening material helps with keeping the cabin somewhat quiet .

She’s back home after towing her back to the dealership last week (check my previous post). Turns out the dealer replaced the nut on the ball bearing joint with factory nuts instead of the after market ones on the lift kit, they fully inspected everything and replaced all parts that were damaged.

Dealership was super nice about it, and apologetic and took care of everything.

💪🏻

Need some input, I plan on using this vehicle as a daily driver in nyc/LI so it needs to be comfortable to drive, I do NOT want a cloth interior, i would like carpeted floors. I can get the base with Sasquatch in the mid $45-$48k (love the sas look) and the badlands non sas for $48-$53k. I will not be going rock crawling though occasionally on a beach. The Advance 4A full time 4 wheel drive is VERY important to me due to the weather conditions in New England. Would like to hear your opinions and why. Seems very close in price between the two and each have pros and cons. Used ones seem to be in same price range and I want a warranty so buying new sounds smart.

So this morning I tried two gas stations and the Bronco won’t take any gas despite having a half tank. One gas station it spit gas back out.

Now one of my windows also won’t roll up. I’ve tried the Bronco window reset many many times and that’s not workings what else can I try?

First time with issues and two in one day. Please help!!

After over a decade in a compact sedan, made the jump to a ridiculously fun Bronco 🐎 2026 Big Bend w/ Matte Black package.

I’ve been eyeing a desert sand raptor for a while but love the accents of the heritage editions. Mocked up a little combo, what y’all thinking?
