I started with an early Wrangler TJ four cylinder. Hugely underpowered and traded for a 2002 Wrangler with the 4.0L six and manual transmission, lift and 33’s. Had that for about 13-14 years with a normal level of issues with over 150K miles. The most expensive being top replacement. Got a...
After watching a few YouTube's about Halfmoon, its moved up to the top of my list. I also found Funtreks Colorado on Apple Books and downloaded it as well. Will let you know how the trip goes.
Can’t thank you enough for the trail report! I’ll be in Buena Vista soon and Four Mile area Is my backup plan. Hoping snow is melted on Tin Cup Pass and will be asking locals what’s passable when we get there. I’ll be researching your suggestions now. We also plan to do some inflatable...
Love both of them. I have a 4-door for the practicality of my situation, but I have constant 2-door envy and won’t argue what the “real Bronco” is. Enjoy them together, that’s awesome you guys share the interest.
I understand…back in October 2021, while waiting for my order to get processed (Badlands manual Sasquatch), I spent an hour at the Texas State Fair going back and forth between two models they had, comparing the leather to the MGV. I actually liked both materials and really wanted the rear cup...
Now that’s different, where the video would be on the Bronco itself (like a DVR) and I agree, would be awesome for a unique “go pro” dash cam like experience. Now if only Ford had the software chops to pull it off. 🤔
Is it possible that was the last image in memory before the camera glitch? As a software exec. I’d be pretty surprised if Ford was willing to spend the money for the storage it would cost for millions and millions of video segments of people backing up (let alone off-road video). What value...
Doh! Just watched the video and you can control a drone from the screen?!? What good are “over the air” updates if Ford doesn’t add things like this back to existing Broncos!
Agree, never look at it. I have a manual, and it would have been nice to have a real tach there instead of the nearly useless histogram bar. Keep hoping for an over the air update to the digital portion. Would love this dash and several other features. A shame the innovation is coming in...
I learned to off-road at Tellico…was in awe what my mostly stock Wrangler could do. What great memories there. Sounds like we all agree that the trails are getting overcrowded. I like that people are concerned about preserving these for our use in the future and our kids. The more we can be...
Agree with others, it’s an awesome look and so true to the original! Seats are really nice…did you have to modify the dash to get the brown leather trim or is that a factory one I’m not aware of?
might also want to give a link to the vest…feels like it should be part of the build. 👍
Agree it would be nice. Mine has the feature to unlock by putting your hand into one of the handles and also lock by pushing the small button on the handle. That combination at least lets you keep the key in your pocket all the time (or purse or backpack). Having the extra security when you...
I took my rings off and had Enigma Coatings outside of Austin, TX powder coat them for a very reasonable price. About a year and several off-road trips later, they still look very good. A few small scratches as expected.
No trouble identifying and connecting about 90% of the time. It does lose connection regularly, especially on trips over 30 mins. Now when I plan a long road trip, I delete from the phone list and use direct cable with USB-C and that is much more reliable.
We are already being tracked by dozens of apps, devices so the privacy issue is going to have to be solved in a much larger way. Agree that we all need to push back on companies that do a poor job of designing for security.
