So for a long time I have wanted a chase light on my Bronco. I often wheel in white-out blizzards, dusty deserts and at night in a variety of conditions. The one thing that has always stood out to me during these events are peoples chase lights. Now for me, having a chase light became a priority...
A few months ago, a good friend of mine and fellow Gold Country Bronco's member approached me asking if I wanted to review his Bilstein 8112 coil-overs that he had on order. Of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity! So once he had a couple thousand miles on the setup to break it in, we took...
Hey y’all. I’ve been a little MIA here cause I’ve been busy working on my latest project (say hellos to my retired FD 95 OBS Bronco).
I got a pair of leather Wildtrack heated seats on a trade and want to mount them in my OBS. Why? Cause they look good, don’t hurt my back and include heated...
On October 18th, after hours of planning, researching and plotting gas and routes. I, along with 4 other Broncos (including Tricky) and an F-150 driver who's Bronco was down, attempted one of America's longest Off-Road Race routes. The Vegas to Reno 500! Only we drove it backwards...
I plotted...
Although I was only able to attend 1 day of Super Cel Nevada it was a blast! I elected to forgo the trail for the day and rode shotgun with Mitch Creel to see how the original Broncos do.
We hit one of the harder routes at Prison Hill which I was told is almost guaranteed to cause body damage...
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...
