Hey y’all been a super loooong minute.

I’ve owned Mae Pearl now just 2 months shy of a year! We’ve kept those Goodyears rolling since the day I picked her up!

No real issues to complain about. I do have a passenger door rattle, but piece of weather stripping it be good to go!

Also think would be wise for @Ford Motor Company to get with Goodyear and narrow the Sasquatch Tire tread pattern between 2-5mm just to keep the rocks from sticking in the tread!

(Goodyear Territory)
My flat was because I didn’t not clean the rocks out before hitting a trail. So I had a rock jammed into the tread pattern..then boom ran over another rock and it stabbed straight through the Tread package. So now I keep a screwdriver in the door to clean out rocks before and after the trail!

Also been asked how my MIC has held up. It’s been fantastic. I do have a picture of the inside of my MIC where they reworked a spot. It’s no biggy tho.

Also right now I’m running the Sunrider on my bronco. Love it. It can be noisy on the interstate, but that’s to be expected. Also I was flying 80 into the wind. It holds up like a champ.

Also I do run he 4WP flare deletes I’ve had no issues kicking up rocks expect for one time! I do now have a small chip. Also was out in Wyoming this past holiday. We were the filthiest rig bc of no flares after crossing the creeks, but I’m not to worried about that. Nothing little washing doesn’t fix.

Also few weeks before was out running about Utah with the Curt Hitch Tow Basket. Wasn’t my favorite..it was more a pain. I did end up cracking the weld on it as well. Few pictures to show the few things I mentioned.

I love all y’all’s adventures as well. Great community to be apart of. I really enjoy seeing so many broncos out and about now. This past trip I saw so many! Wyoming and SD def has a good number of Broncos on the road.

Also forgot to mention I bombed a door. I ended up loading them up and taking them to my parents and my dad helped me. We didn’t use the door bags. They actually were no help to us. So I’m going to pass mine on. Also going to be building a hydraulic cart like they use at Ford for the assembly line.

My door rattle is on the edge of the door we’re the panel meets the window. Already foam in that area. I just got to add more. Easy fix!

Cracked weld. Btw I put this thing thru the paces. I had it loaded down. I also drug it over a lot of spots. Departure angle is not great. Live and learn. Hoping to see someone rig up a half rack for a two door in the future. Also looking at different racks.

487 miles on 16 gal tank? BS
Right. I also had a 444 to a tank. All out west. I assumed it was due to elevation. Bc I can’t figure out the science. 😂

If I tried I'm pretty sure it would be followed by trying to explain to the insurance company why my door is dented/deformed 🤦‍♂️

I have nothing to complain about the deletes themselves. It’s more the Goodyears. I plan to replace them next spring. They kick up rocks bad.
I do get a lot of compliments on the deletes. If you hate dirt then don’t go with them. You’ll be washing your vehicle more then you want. I rarely wash mine. Now that I’m done traveling into the dust out west. I do plan on sending her off to be cleaned. Rain and puddles tho. They will spray! So just FYI.

I finally decided on a rear bumper. End of August I’ll be headed to FL to get it.
As of right now plan for next year. I’d like to go to both the TN and WI bronco super cells. Then event in FL in July with the FL6G bronco group. Then in November I’m going to catch SEMA and do Valley of Fire, Death Valley, & hopefully time for Pinnacles/Alabama Hills in CA.
I really want to do Alaska. I’m waiting till 2025. Hoping to quit my job I’ll have enough money put back to travel good 3-5 years. That’s the in general goal!

That's awesome! I'm in Florida in the Tampa area. If you get down here let me know and can meet up. Going to my first Bronco meet this Saturday. Then doing my first big road trip with it end of the month.

Will do. The company I’m getting the Bumper from is in the Clearwater area. Then they did the Christmas in July event in St. Augustine.

Great pics!
I've got the same Curt cargo carrier. We got it earlier in the year to haul luggage with the wife's MB SUV (with the dog in the back). Worked great for a road trip, but I found myself wondering how well it would hold up on trails over time. Sounds like that worry was justified.

I'll ultimately probably end up getting some sort of rack as well. Just haven't decided which one yet.

I was not kind to it! I was out in UT for ten days or so. All backcountry trails. Washboards, small ditch and creek crossings. My biggest thing is we camped I needed to get on and out of the rear. I had to unload everything every night the pack it up every morning. That’s my biggest deal. Otherwise it was a champ. My granddad is a welder by trade. I’m going to have him fix it up!

Yep - I've got several chips on the bottom half of the front doors from those tires. I've opted not to "Baja" it as much until I replace these gravel-magnet Goodyears with something that has a looser tread pattern.

I was going to try to get the full life out of the Goodyears, but at the rate they throw rocks they may get retired before they reach middle age.
