Been wheeling 10 years now in a variety of vehicles and terrains. Today, my buddy experienced a strange issue that I haven’t seen before. While out on a moderate rock crawling trail, his front diff lost its rear mount bolt. It just worked it’s way loose over time and rattled up and out. It’s...

Well, I had to try it out for myself and see if these new battery compressors could hang with the big boys as they are constantly advertised to the off-road community. Needless to say, I’ve never seen that much smoke out of a compressor before. The company advertises “One charge to inflate...

So I was hauling an empty trailer up the Rubicon after bringing in supplies for the Jeep event next week (irony i know). While climbing out Cadillac Hill, I was applying gas to get over the rock. As I crested, Bronco just dies. I lose most brakes (electric brakes suck). I fall back down only a...

Took a scouting trip with my buddy Chris to explore some new territory. Went on some direction from friends that had been up the day before. Did some exploring and boy oh boy did we find some insane views. Here are some pics but I highly recommend watching the video. Even if it’s just skipping...

Not too long ago, I went out to explore a section of my local forest that I hadn't been to during the summer months. I checked out a small trail winding through the woods and ran into 3 trees across the road. Unfortunately, previous travelers to the area had simply created new tracks around each...

Took some friends out to experience what Gatekeeper has to offer on the Rubicon. Been through a dozen or so times with both Jeep and Bronco now. Took the group in through Gatekeeper into Granite Bowl just to get them a taste of what the trail has to offer. All did exceptionally well for their...

Well hello fellow Bronco forum members! I recently nerded out on air compressors, I compiled a ton of info, did weeks of research, contacted manufactures, called companies and scrolled through mind-numbing amounts of social media accounts. I then compiled most of the relevant data into an hour...

Sooooooo, in between dodging angry comments on my last Youtube video, I saw this pop up in my feed... I am not an engineer and do not currently have an opinion on this. I just wanted to share it here and hear from ya'll. Very interesting indeed....

"In this video, I take a deep dive into the incident from a personal, story perspective. Then we zoom out and look back using hind sight 20/20 and a birds eye view. I include various clips, pics and physical evidence. Please watch the WHOLE story and do not skip, you will get a false idea based...

Good Evening y’all, After swapping in my Hoss 3.0 into the Bronco I had a choice. To return my 2.0 rack for a core charge or dissect it for my own education as I’m a noob when it comes to electric assist steering. I elected to dissect my rack instead and was stunned to discover I had broken...

What started out as a simple trip to help a friend recover a stranded XJ. Turned into an hours long trip, rescuing all kinds of vehicles. Including a stuck Rivian.

Hey y’all, I’m back with another discovery. My friends over at Warhorse of Texas (competitors in the Rebel Rally and strong off-road enthusiasts) have partnered with Hammerbuilt to bring this cool new product. Now it was designed as a tail gate limiter to protect your tail light from being...

Hey ya'll, I know this has been addressed here and there but I want to bring this fully into the light with some research i've done. The rear, control arm upper brackets on my 21 Bronco are cracked... Both sides in multiple places. My welding friend stop drilled and welded up one crack but I...

Alrighty, I went ahead and installed my Spicer rear driveshaft yesterday to long term test and review. I’ll be updating this thread with results and opinions over time. Today is initial impressions and install: Install was easy, fitment was a little tight but nothing crazy. Just be gentle...

So Dorman just announced their tie rods for the Bronco. Looks like they used some science on their design. Of course, I’m curious how well it will translate into the real world. Figured I’d post them here to see what y’all think: The offset seems to be the big selling point, that five degrees...

Well I havn't posted in awhile but I have several things in the works coming soon including large scale, real world testing on some new products. In the meantime, my rock crawling itch has languished with the unset of snow and my overland itch began to grow... I looked south to the Mojave...

What’s up y’all, sometimes the best mods are cheap, small and solve a small but annoying problem. As many of y’all know, once you change out your factory wheels for a different offset, your spare tire “bumpers”, no longer brace your tire. This leads to your spare wiggling around more which can...

Just got my video up on the Hoss 3.0 rack, some 74weld goodies to install and some dissecting of a few broken racks to demonstrate how and when and why. I’ve got a few videos up on the topic now so feel free to check out and subscribe to the YouTube’s page. It helps me get to that cool 1k number...

What’s up y’all! I’ve been slowly planning where to take the next phase of my Bronco build and coming up with some ideas. Eventually I’d like to go with a soft sort of long travel but am hesitant to do the high price or the spacers on my rear axle to accommodate for the extra width up front. A...

Hey y’all, finally got back out for some Rubicon redemption after a friend (broncodetours), hit me up to go tackle it last minute. @Snacktime and @SS Bronco @NORCALGXP and @Brandon Miller couldn't make it out so off I went with just the two Broncos. We hit the trail 10am on Thursday and...
