Good to know that 7 pin is charging everything up. The Boreas is setup the same. Solar is first source, then goes to battery and other sources mixed in(shore power, 7 pin from tow-vehicle, etc) . You mentioned putting reverse lights or cam on the Hiker. I'll likely do the same, somehow using...

Great writeup. Very helpful to me as I'm picking up a Boreas offroad trailer soon. (very similar to the Hiker except it has frame reinforcement for a moto to be mounted on the front.) Why not use the Redarc Elite (aka Ford spec) brake controller? Are you using the 4 pin or 7 pin connector? I...

4d Badlands Sasquatch stock 2.7 on hilly TN roads. About 16 Smiles per gallon.

Its not you... Those wires and colors are a little wankie... There's a grey wire that's easy to reach. i.e. right on top when you access the plug.... That ain't the one... The one you want is kinda buried in the bundle of wires. Its a bitch to reach as there's not much slack and its in a tight...

Doesn't sound like an issue w/ the points. More of an issue with the dealer. Ive had a good experience w/ the points and I've used them in three different scenarios: - Service Dept - Sales lead added some items to my order using my points for me - mail order points usages (most recently)

Modern age of cars... treating them like corporate laptops. They push out an update/fix knowing a large majority will work, but a certain percentage will fail... for the ones that fail... the user takes to a depot to get fixed. Analogy now applies to your transportation.... Not so sure this is...

Just did this exact install yesterday. Its not a slam dunk. If you're apprehensive, hire it out. You need a "step" drill bit. As long as you stop on the right step, which is easy, theres no way it will go through the outer layer of the door. The jack nuts are a little tricky. They provide a...

Mall Crawler is a derogatory title but its all in jest or just for fun. Kinda like when an over-lifted jeep parks next to me and I say, "nice Fiat"....(Fiat or FCA is the parent company of Jeep) it all in good fun. Mall Crawler is a fitting term for many. I took my Badland offroad the first...

Great build. Have you found many uses for the traction boards in the east? For the given size, I've found other, more compact and readily available, methods for self-recovery. (bottle jack, winch, come-along, straps, et al) If the maxtrax are used for leveling when you setup camp, I could see...

Ring is now taking pre-orders for their carcam. 270 degree cams facing forward and aft. Plugs into your ODBII. https://ring.com/products/car-cam Two concerns I have and currently researching: 1) Not sure if it will mount up to my picatinny rail on the center of my dash. 2) it requires you...

I rented and drove a Jeep Rubicon to Texas Off-Rodeo so that I could compare the two side by side... There is no comparison.... Jeep is a has-been... They had a great run, but now being owned by FCA, (Fiat) their destiny doesn't look good and quite honestly, the Rubicon felt like the same noisy...

For those using the SafeJack, does it fit in the storage area where the stock scissor jack was stored? Specifically, using the least number of extension to get a Sas Bronco tire off the ground....

No offense to the OP but look up the word: anecdotal... you've just defined it. This is not specific to Bronco. Only trend here is the trend hitting all "durable goods" in the American households. High prices due to inflation, high interest, and the current recession (recessions are declared...

Not summer in Rocky Top but making the best of it!

Mabett. on Amazon. dirt cheap. They are rigid, look good, and are the perfect size. They don't look overwhelming. i ordered and installed only the fronts. Im in a Badlands w/ sas and rock rails. One tip: Go to your local hardware store and get 4 m6x100 allen bolts made of stainless steal. The...

Nearly all of us have been a jeep owner at some point. I"ve had both and even rented and drove a brand new Rubicon to Bronco Off-rodeo to do a side by side comparison. The Bronco is the clear winner in Looks, handling, features, comfort, and general off-roading. Jeep has a small advantage on...

Not the first I've heard of this err in ordering for 2023 conversions. Happened to my bud. Dealer gave him like $3500 in Ford credits. I assume for service and/or accessories. The lift, shocks, wheels and tires can be upgraded easily. But, missing out on that high ratio differential kinda sucks.

The Mabett mud flaps are inexpensive and look great. (Not too overwhelming looking but block nearly all rock throwback.) I installed only the fronts and it looks great on my Badlands Sas. Highly recommend replacing the 4 screw/bolts and washer provided by mabett with stainless screw/bolts and...

Are the tie rod failures and issues still a significant weak point in the MY 22.5 and newer builds? I have a MY 2022.5 Badlands Sas and was going to toss a replacement stock inner tie rod in the truck in the event I experienced the infamous failure while on the trail.... However, when I went to...

I would consider it but I dont think men are allowed to buy 4Runners new off the lot. They are reserved for women and nurses. Second hand, sure; but new, no. Not allowed.
