Here's a few - living in Utah sucks. Don't come here. :cool:

I like them - they look pretty with that paint color. Even though I had a car with the red Brembo brakes on it, I never really knew the colors meant something.. They made the car stop and didn't make a lot of noise, which was good! We go very far down the color rabbit hole, all colors will be...

It's weird, I pushed the button under the radio on my 21 Badlands and it's stayed off ever since. I haven't missed it.

Honestly, about as hard as Dome Plateau. There’s more crawling on Sevenmile but nothing more difficult than Dome. I even saw some dudes doing it in a pickup!

Last weekend in Moab on Dome Plateau and Sevenmile Rim. Picked up a couple of Jeep friends who tagged along with me. :)

LOL - one other thing - the Jeepers like to give us a little good natured flak from time to time. I wound up with a TJ and a JL following me around and gave them a little ribbing back. :) The TJ was a super nice couple from Minnesota and the JL was a guy from Kansas. We all had fun!

From what you're saying, you're out in the Cisco/Moab area already. I spent the last weekend on Dome Plateau and Sevenmile Rim. I had it disconnected the whole time. There are just a few places up there where you're likely to get over 20 mph in any event unless you have a stronger bladder...

@TheKim it was just me and the copilot husky but we had a blast!

Just saw this one! I was down in Moab this weekend doing Dome Plateau and Seven Mile Rim! Miss you guys!

Long post, I won't be offended if you don't read it. Honestly, people get really emotional about things sometimes. I started offroading as a kid in about 1974 or 5 in my uncle's Plymouth Trail Duster. My dad had a Bronco back in 1969 but he sold it when my mom was pregnant with me. Even...

You make a good point here - people change out the upper control arms for a taller lift, change out a bunch of other parts, but complain about the tie rod ends. Mine has been fine and I carry a spare just in case, but it's still in the plastic wrap! My opinion has always been the tie rod end...

No idea, actually. I wasn't driving it, I was about 2 vehicles back but I had no problem there. Could have already been weakened by something else and it was just time to go, maybe it was a bad one, or maybe they did the funny on the ledge. Can't really comment, just that I saw it, but like I...

Yeah, climbing up on that ledge you see in the foreground, but I think the front locker was disengaged from the conversation. Anyway, it happened, now, it's never happened to me, but I carry a spare tie rod just in case. It's cheap insurance. Honestly, I doubt Ford would have released the...

Stock Wildtrak, Labor Day, 2022, Top of the World trail in Moab. Not mine, but I was there. Fortunately, about three of us had spare tie rods in our kit, so we repaired on the trail and continued on.

He was chilling at the Salt Lake County Shelter and decided he wanted to come home with me. He has the best personality. He's super sweet and loves all the dogs except one. He doesn't like that one at all and I'm not sure what it did to him. Haha!
