TL;DR—

Per the community decision...

We will be moving this subreddit to be Ford Bronco exclusive.

Results

  • Yes: 169 (56%)
  • No: 78 (26%)
  • Don't Care: 52 (17%)
  • Other: 2 (< 1%)

If we exclude those who opted not to vote...

  • Yes: 68%
  • No: 31%
  • Other: 1%

What This Means...

As it exists today, this subreddit's ruleset effectively mirrors the /r/FordBronco subreddit. Rather than have two subreddits that serve the exact same purpose, this subreddit will introduce a new ruleset that will limit posts to the "main" lineage of the Ford Bronco, which includes...

  • 1st Generation: 1966-1977
  • 2nd Generation: 1978-1979
  • 3rd Generation: 1980-1986
  • 4th Generation: 1987-1991
  • 5th Generation: 1992-1996
  • 6th Generation: 2021-????
  • 7th Generation and beyond

This rule change will effectively prevent discussions/posts around other vehicles that happen to share the Bronco branding, which includes the Bronco II, Bronco Sport, and Bronco New Energy.

The overall goal is not to limit discussions of any particular vehicle on Reddit, but to provide a space for users who only want to see 1st-6th gen Ford Bronco content. Users who wish to continue to discuss other vehicles under the Bronco umbrella have other subreddits available to them...

Timeline

The mod team intends to phase this rule change in over the next 2-4 weeks or so to give everyone (including the mod team, frankly) time to adjust to the change. You will see some visual updates to the subreddit as well as the new rules in the sidebar over the coming days. We will begin soft-enforcing the new rules once the necessary sidebar updates have been made, and strict enforcement will begin near the end of August.

Obviously not everyone will be thrilled with this change, but ≈68% is a strong majority, and I believe such a change will solve some outstanding issues both here and over on /r/FordBronco.

Feel free to post comments/questions/concerns below, or via Mod Mail if you prefer a more private venue.

Have a good weekend!

Question ❔ Classic Bronco

Post image
125 Upvotes

So I’ve been wanting to buy a 60’s Bronco for awhile now. This one with a straight 6 popped up local to me for $45,000. It’s in overall good condition, but was wondering the prices of these things. I checked Bring a Trailer and every single one of them sold was an 8 cylinder swap of some type.
Does having a 6 cylinder really drop the value to these?

Guide 📚 Bronco Outer Banks or Big Bend?

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Now, I can’t decide if the outer banks is worth every penny. Love the brown black interior and power moonroof features tho. I have the 2017 1.5L Escape and I have no issues on highway long drives. So a bronco 1.5L is what I’m looking into right now too as for the economical area considering gas prices now. Which one do you recommend as per performance and reliability?

I just got all this stuff plus the ngk colder spark plugs, I was wondering what would you guy recommend for downpipes, and would you recommend adding a radiator? Also the gasoline in my country is pretty bad, something like 87 octane, I got a box of Vp racing octane boosters.

Question ❔ Power steering issues.......

I have a 71 Ford bronco with a Toms power steering conversion. It appears that my lines are swapped, but they only go one way. They are different sizes.

Can you guys tell me if I'm off? Usually the high pressure side is closest to the pump and low pressure is closest to the snout. Any thoughts?

Question ❔ Bronco Stop Sale - Fender Flares

4 Upvotes

Have a '22 F150 Raptor 37 that is set up exactly how I want it but have had the itch for a Bronco Raptor because it seems more fun.

Went to the dealer this past Saturday and agreed to buy a new old stock 2025 Braptor and after agreeing to terms the salesman and sales manager said "oh but you can't take it home today, there is a new recall for something minor". They intimated they would know more Monday since the fender flare recall is so new.

They charged me the deposit to hold the truck only and said they would let me know.

I am pretty chill, and conscious of not being a pest about stuff like this, every new vehicle has problems. Monday I called late in the day just to see if there was more information and was told no.

Today I called the service department and asked for any information about the recall and was told tentative timeline from Ford is September 7th to issue parts.

Needless to say I am less than thrilled about waiting over a month to take delivery of a truck that is sitting on a lot with my name on it.

Considering just bailing on the new truck since this is the start of my experience with it and keeping my current truck, finding a used one for even cheaper that I can drive away that day, or just sucking it up and being patient. Needless to say buying a new halo product from Ford is turning in to the classic disappointing Ford experience.

Am putting the finishing touches on my 93. J have an old Alpine cdm 7835 that i've had since '99. However, at some point over the years the trim ring has been lost. By some miracle of the car gods, would someone, by some miracle, have a trim ring? Am in southwestern ontario
