We use the heck out of the tailgate table. Bought the Mabbett version 1.0 one on sale for around $160. We tend to do a lot of exploring/hikes and have lunch near the tailgate. Drag out folding chars and soft cooler from the back seat. This makes a nice prep area and spot to keep random lunch...
It reduces, but does not eliminate the need for a spotter in the rocks. I find it most useful when the view out the windshield is just hood and sky.
As others have said, it flattens things out, so only useful if you get a good look at what your going over before hand. The 'tire' view is great...
22 BadLands Sasquatch 2.7 w/ completely stock engine, running gear and tires. If you wanna test in a blast furnace, I am in the Phoenix area. Also make frequent rips in the summer up to 8,000 ft to get out of the heat. We get out at least once a month to the trails, so a good mix of on and...
Same here back in '19. I did it solo as I did not want offroad noob tourists with me. Told the driver to give it all he's got as I'm experienced off road. He did not disappoint - we ended up sliding down a steep dune sideways. He later confessed that he thought we were going over for sure...
Went out last week. Aired up from 18 - 36 in 20 minutes total - from the time I grabbed the bag out of the back until I put it back. A bout 1/2 the time it took with my now retired 17 year old battery clip compressor. I have the standard batteries that came with the deal - used 1/2 of 1...
Replaced the battery in the wife's BMW last year. The car needs to be programmed for the new battery. If you just swap in a new one without having the programming done, the car's charging system will kill the new battery. So, over $400 for her new battery - after a 15% off coupon from the...
Mine consistently runs hotter with the A/C OFF. Colling fan is on all the time with A/C on. With no A/C, the colling fan does.not kick on until the collant is hot enough to see oil temp is up into the 230s.
Last time I did Montanna mtn about a year and a half ago - east to west on the loop, so all the rocks at the end of the new path (they re-routed some of it a while back due to all the ATVs)
Damn near tipped the rig over on it's right side up the hill because "I don't need the rear locker on...
I think this depends on the A/C system. My high package with the dual zone auto A/C does not engage ASS all summer long here in the blast furnace. Once it starts cooling down, I'll notice my ASS working again in the evenings, then all day long now that it's actually cool out.
Folks with the...
This:
This compressor is not designed for 1 tire at a time and should be used with a 4 tire hose system. You can still air up a single flat if you need to, but the duty cycle dwindles to 2min doing 1 tire at a time. Airing up an entire vehicle, 1 tire at a time, will damage the Trickflate.
So...
Definitely aluminum. I have the silver ones on by BL. They scratch and scuff if they even look at a rock! Was gonna paint them to match the body, but after my 1st outing with it after owning it for less than 2 weeks, I decided 'Rock Rash' was the easiest look to maintain.
Corrosion is not an...
Pulled the trigger. My 15 YO compressor is starting to smell like burning bread after the 2nd or 3rd tire, and takes longer than the 30 min max idle time to air all 4 up from 18 to 35. Looking forward to using this one!
Extra bonus - no more battery cable/compressor gymnastics to air up the...
Hi - added my e-mail to your site and got a reply, but with no promo code. Was interested in the "IAG I-Line Dash Organizer with Phone Holder for 2021+ Ford Bronco" which is showing $42.99 in my cart - the same price as everywhere else.
I've seen mine go above 20 occasionally on steep grades with the pedal down to the floor. Briefly thought I was driving my old 6.7 Superduty, then realized the diesel clatter was missing!
Typically only see high teens when giving it Hell. I suspect outdoor temp has a lot to do with the...
Eco/Boost gauge:
0 = Eco ~20mpg
>0 = Boost < 20 mpg
>10 = 10+ Smiles per gallon
In all seriousness, it's the turbo boost gauge. Even in light footed driving, you should see it hit a couple of PSI during acceleration.
Increased fuel mileage by reducing some of that paint weight on the bottom of the rig. In Phoenix, rust is not a concern!
My 'beauty rings' are now more 'ugly rings'. Was considering powder coating them when I took delivery in Feb '22, but by the end of March, had built up a nice collection...
