Thanks to everyone for sharing and giving me confidence to get into a lil-bit trouble. Family and I spent a year living in West Knoxville, 16 years ago now, and loved our time down there. Please keep the pics and the info on great gadgets coming. I'm keeping a notebook for when mine arrives.

I got the 155” wheelbase with the digital gauge. No extra fittings. What ultimately did it for me is I saw a guy build his own setup for around $150 on B6G and thought for an extra $70 to grab a digital gauge, know it’s done right, looks professional, and saves me 2 hours I could be riding it was worth it. There’s tons of videos online but I’m happy to put one together to show you my air up/down setup/process.
I remeber that post and was thinking the same thing. A word of caution. Digital is nice until the batteies die in the field. If you don't use it for a while they may drain, then when you need it, it will not work. But I guess the TPMS can assist. LOL.

Yeah TPMS or I have a old school gauge in the back. To air down I used the gauge, but to air up I was sitting in my car hanging out while I watched them fill up thanks to TPMS. Many ways to slice the tree

I was also considering the ARB twin in the case vs mounting on under the hood. Why did you choose the case version? The bootle is nice but the package is spendy. What isn't spendy now adays. LOL

Yeah right. I bring friends along from time to time who don’t have air sources so 155” wheelbase Morrflate and ARB twin case would provide the most flexible and on the move option. I thought about mounting it but didn’t really see a benefit besides saving trunk space.

The Maxitrac has been out of stock awhile. Mine arrived with a broken handle, no replacements available so I kept it. Guess I don't really need a handle?
That sucks about your handle. Seems easy enough to rig something up to hold it. I just keep it in the bag. I might try to make a more permanent solution kind of like the ARB dual pelican case thing.

Heading out Saturday. Plan to be out there around 11:30 and ride some blues. Unless it’s very wet then go find some nice views and ride a mix of blues/greens.

I really appreciate that Bo, but have some family commitments this weekend. Looking forward to future rides for sure.

None. I was very surprised nothing got in as it took about 10 minutes to get it out. Drain holes in the floor kept totaled sealed. Doors had a tiny bit up totally about a 1/4” into the door sill and some sprinkled in by the electrical connections but the seals were the only thing real dirty. About 60 seconds a door and it was clean. Worst part was the tailgate strut and bottom of tailgate. The bumper got muddy which then rubbed on the bottom of the tailgate which created a mess and it probably took 5 minutes to get clean. There was no sign of cactus gray on the passenger side of the door afterwards. Took 25 minutes to clean the exterior. I was scared the soft top might not clean off well but power wash and a foam brush and it took no time. On the way home I stopped to grab some extra water for the headlights and taillights as they were producing close to no light once it got dark. I also attached a picture of the license plate that shows the coverage on the back left side which was totally sunk. The exhaust kept outward pressure the whole time and the car was completing fine which was a sign of relief. Sorry for the extended reply but some of it might be helpful in case you ever find yourself in a similar sh*thole

This is my CG 2D FE with new paint after a day at Gorman a few months back.
As fun as it was during, it was more fun during the drive home, as I got at least a dozen waves and thumbs ups from passerbys.
After that was not as much fun. Went to a car wash and they turned me away (as expected), so I went to a coin wash (which incidentally, only took credit cards), and took over an hour just to get the mud off. During this time, one of the employees came and told me that I had to wash the mud off the floors of the wash stall. I obliged and washed at least 5 lbs of mud and dirt into the drains. Fast forward 2 months and after another wash, i still have mud coming out of pores I didn't know existed. Oh, and the OEM rims are extremely hard to clean, especially inside the beauty rings.
I'll have to say that the Bronco looks best with at least a little bit of mud somewhere.
Mostly stock, but it handled the mud and dirt like a dream. I didn't realize I was in 2WD mode for most of the time until I was on a loose dirt climb.
