left and right hand, and whatever close enough to adult is around

really just feel aux lights need to be round due to nostalgia and the fact that the bronco's headlights are round

the IAG bag is great - bought it early in ownership and love it. Had a couple bronco buddies but the same as a result. Protects the windows well and it fits behind the second row seats in the small slot between the seat backs and the trunk liner side bulges

if you really feel you must hit em with something now, I wouldnt take em off. Just climb under there and do your best. Assume you're planning on wheeling again this year...

I take mine (3/16" steel) off each winter and touch them up. sometimes a little sanding if needed (the big gouges) and / or some rust converter. But really just a few top coats - I use the krylon textured black cuz thats what I painted my bumper with. plus the skid removal gives me a chance...

I'm out on the 13th - heading to Mill Spring that weekend. Next time!

That's a great line up. MAny hours on the trails! You'll be in good company and dutch john is a great trail. dicky bell is really just the hill climb. hopelly I can join yall

dutch john has a trenched area that looks a little intimidating but is very passable, when descending it gets a little off camber and the steering rack needs to work. there is bypass tho if you go through the trees up the hill. Dutch John also has another rocky area that I hid tranny skid...

not sure what everyone is running but dickey bell is absolutely doable without a spotter, with lockers. I may be down to head there on the 6th. I was out a week ago and there was certainly some mud. I was driving to pinehurst yesterday and went through what mustve been 3" of rain but that...

i have a 2024 2.3L. I use an evacutor to get as much oil out as you can (for yall that know it certainly is not all of it). I drain the rest out the drain plug with butchered up 2 liter bottle to keep the oil of my skid plates. But as an FYI - a slim 12 oz beer can fits perfectly on the oil...

my rear recovery hook (still have the plastic bumper on the rear) has seen its shared of being dragged on a rock. If I had a hitch receiver , it would likely have seen the same. As brian mentioned, offroad varies. if there was a trailer connected to it, it would be a no go. However, assuming...

this is factual

CalvinT's clip above is where I'm cautious. When the ass gets light on a descent, and the weight of the motor pulls down into a drop, that when the bronco feels she's ready to tip.

under the rear seat storage is a great spot for stuff. all my trail gear is on a shelf in my garage. I just toss it all in the cargo area with a couple bungees when I head out. I do not have spare CVs.

at the bottom of this thread you'll see posts with blown CVs, diff issues, et cetera. If you want a warm fuzzy feeling: you've got 4.7 gears, assuming you'll be in 4LO in a CV threatening scenario youve got the M210 diff and associated CVs (and HD steering rack) MAny of us have done what you...
