Went to the Pismo Car show today-there were a few really nice Broncos, and a ton of people! Overall, though, a good day.

Every time I see an old school Bronco I really miss my 1975 Bronco!

It was yesterday morning but washed MP2 and added another coat of Graphene detailer at 5am before the 100+ heat set in. ?

Build Complete.

BDS 6in lift on a 23’ Tremor, and they said it was impossible. Pairs nicely with 35 Toyo M/Ts on KMC 542.

I call BS on "build complete".
Everyone knows once you start, it can never really stop.
That said, it looks dang good.

Yes, I have the same with my truck, Pass Seat (Comfy) - Driver's seat (So/So)
If we were to perform a weight test (deflection) of the seat spring downwards and compare a
OMG these seats are comfortable to a seat like my Driver's Seat, I am 100% certain there would be a notable difference in the results.

Nothing wrong with the seat itself (to warrant) a Dealer Seat Replacement, without a huge hassle as there is nothing BROKEN.
I did take mine to the dealer just to see if there was anything they could do and left with what I knew would be the outcome (NOTHING)
So, backup a bit, I test drove 3 Rangers and then placed my order for my Lariat waited 7 months and took delivery of the truck, Test drove it for about 1 hour and signed the paperwork
Any new vehicle you get, takes time to get that sweet spot for seat adjustment, well I am at 20 months of ownership and still have not found that sweet OMG spot.
I did visit an upholstery shop and was told not much he could do other than what I am already doing - add padding.

I may plan on pulling the seat apart (deep enough) to see if there is any way possible to tighten the seat springs up to eliminate the sag - from the manuals this does not appear possible.
For me this is the issue (the sagging - deep bucket feel) and trying to add padding only partially helps.
I just have to devote the time and effort to fully resolve this issue, I will succeed eventually
I have a new 24' and I feel the seats are noticeably more comfortable than 2019. The 19's were good but the 24' is much improved.

Changed the transmission fluid and filter at 84k. Did it also at 35k. Fluid was fairly dirty but not horrible. Didn't see any metal flakes and very little on the magnet in the drain pain. Took out about 6 quarts and aded the same back in to get the level to 4-5 on th edipstick after getting fluid up to temp.

Installed the new ditch light brackets and lights. With the switches and relays already factory installed even this lighting rookie could do it. And they worked!?:cool:

Do you have a dashcam? You talked me into the importance of one (even though that was at the expense of your much loved Ranger).

I went with Nextbase front and rear (for me and Kate's car). And, of course, my rise as a Social Influencer is as a result (which is odd because once I become a zillionaire, I'm buying out your nefarious damper and 303 enterprise - free dampers for all - Dampre Libre! =D

I know you have the heat issue out there and would like to know what you may have found.

I haven't bought one yet but I really need to get one. I basically threw away $400 on my last one when it died 2 months after the warranty ended. :rolleyes: There's a couple different ones out now with higher heat ratings so I'm going to look into those soon. Maybe Santa will deliver one for Christmas.??
