Ya know, these stupid little pins that break thanks to an exceptionally idiotic design.

My road trips are always well received here so time for another! This time I headed from my home on the Kenai Peninsula, up then down 450 miles to Valdez through the jaw droppingly beautiful Thompson Pass. I've gotta say, I've done a LOT of driving around this state and from purely a...

Just curious how doable it is for the average mechanically inclined person, and if there's already a list of needed parts and tools anywhere. The only walkthrough I've found so far left a bit to be desired. I'm not opposed to buying specialty tools, and generally not afraid to tear into things...

I've been meaning to do this for a while but just never got around to it. Better late than never? This has been a long process and I figured I'd wait till I was "done" to post anything...22k miles later here we go. Underneath - Icon stage 7 (tubular) KMC Canyon wheels - 0 offset - Wrapped in...

You guys always seem to like my Alaska photos, and i like sharing them in full size rather than just cropped down Instagram posts, so here's some from my most recent trip across the Denali Highway. I've done it 3 times now and it's always jaw-dropping. No big wildlife sightings as usual, which...

This week I headed north up the Glenn, then the Richardson, through Fairbanks and back down the Parks. Yea, we name our highways up here. You know you're talking to a tourist if they call out a highway by its numbers. Hit a couple little trails and detours, made it up as I went and found camp...

Just buttoning up the IVD Stage 7 kit. I'm a dumb-dumb who forgot to take measurements before hand, but to my eye it doesn't look much higher. Certainly not enough to get 37s under it. Feels like slightly more of a step in and out, but that's it. Front end is definitely sitting higher than the...

I just had share this. I think you'll all appreciate it. Yours for just $80k. At a dealer a few hours north of me. CLICKY

These definitely make a noticeable difference, even unamplified. The Kicker speakers are substantially more clear and full sounding. I'd like to get an amp eventually, but I'm no audio expert and I'm not sure what works with the B&O system. They also look way cooler! In this video, the drivers...

Was slowing for an intersection, ABS kicked in super aggressively, then threw a brake fault and straight locked the tires up. Limped into a parking lot and I have NO brakes. Pedal is firm but does nothing. Once you press it hard enough it's like flipping a switch and it locks up, I think it's...

Thought I'd post some photos of the last trip of the year. This was back in mid September, after the "tourist season" was over at Kennicott. Shuttles have stopped. No tour guides. Just some friends and the mine. We had the whole place to ourselves. To get to Kennicott you have to drive the...

Just curious how things (the roof) are holding up to the weight over time. Seen lots of RTT photos on the site but haven't seen much talk from people who go out and really beat on their setup, be it crawling, nasty high speed washboard or just some rough trails.

Having issues with the Bronco not starting. Press the start button and get a CLICK from underneath but no action from the starter. Press the button over and over and eventually it'll fire right up like nothing was ever wrong. Have it scheduled to go to the dealer, but it's highly intermittent...

A few weeks ago I decided to head up to the Denali Highway. The drive up is just gorgeous, and I actually went back again the following week. +2000 miles on the Bronco, some wheeling and some seriously rough dirt roads and it never missed a beat. I'm not gonna bother captioning the individual...

Picked up a set of pods for the a pillars from @4x4TruckLEDs.com. Been wanting to try these new 4Bangers since seeing them at SEMA last year and I'm definitely impressed. Only 3 LEDs in each pod yet brighter than many 4 diode pods. These things pack a serious punch for their size, like a...

I received and installed my Trailgater yesterday and figured I'd put up a few pics. Mine showed up with a two tone cutting board, rather than the single light color board seen in all the photos. I was really happy to see it as I think it looks much better than the other one. Install was...

Anyone else got something that sounds like torque converter/transmission whine? Didn't notice it the last couple days but it's very noticeable today. Little bit of googling said it was semi-normal for the 10r80, didn't see anything about the 10r60 though. Haven't heard it in any other 10 spds...

My dealer got their mannequin this week and I had the pleasure of driving it yesterday. I didn't want to give it back! What a treat this was to drive. I ordered a 4 door for looks and practicality, but this 2 door with the 2.7 V6 was a blast. I'm not going to do a crazy long review or anything...

Whoops Traded in the RS this morning, just couldn't help myself. Probably gonna lose my ass when I swap this thing for a Bronco in 4 months 🤣 Oh well, can't take it with ya. It's a 2019 with 2,100 miles on it.

Hello from a little town in AK. I'm generally more of a lurker but thought I'd toss up an introduction. Been watching the Bronco for what feels like forever and am ridiculously excited that it's nearly here. I've been wanting to build an adventure rig for a couple years and have always been a...
