I've taken a one-day training with Matt, the owner of On Trail Training, and it was a great experience. Matt is very knowledgeable, quite skilled, and preaches the SAFE operation of equipment and techniques. He is calm and thorough when delivering information. I believe the training will be...
I haven't experienced them yet, but they will be replacing my BFG A/Ts on my F-150 in the next 6 months. Everything I've read about the Kendas says they are quiet with good tread life, so to me it's worth a shot.
35x10.5x17 Kenda Klever will be going on my Bronco as soon as I get it. I hate wide tires, but I want the clearance of the 35s. Tall and skinny for me.
I may jump in on this because my local dealer, Glenwood Springs Ford, told me that "Ford is not honoring X-Plan" but they'll be happy to sell me a Bronco at sticker price. I still have to check Columbine Ford in Rifle to see if they will honor X-Plan.
I bought an F-150 new in 2012 and it's been great.
Since 2012, I've also owned a 2008 JKUR on 35s, a '98 TJ on 33s, an '08 JKR on 32s, a 2007 FJ Cruiser on 31s, a stock '98 XJ, a stock '00 WJ, and currently have a '95 YJ on 31s. The F-150 is my highway/road trip vehicle, while the off-roaders...
I agree with the majority here: The most important thing for rock crawling and serious off-roading are tires with great traction and ground clearance. Next most important is protection and a rear locker. Everything else helps, but is essentially fluff.
A rig with great tires and great...
You are 100% correct that the wider tires on the Sasquatch will not be ideal for snow/slush. You can get through snow and slush, but it's not ideal and there are much better options.
If you're driving up I-91 after a snowstorm and the highway has been plowed, but is covered with a packed layer...
You're spec'ing out a top-of-the-line off-roader (Badlands) that comes standard with a removable top and removable doors. You're also stating that your off-roading will be 5% of the use, and unless you're traveling somewhere far, the north Texas off-roading doesn't really required Badlands (or...
One hour and twenty minutes from home. I think I will make an attempt to get over there. The website doesn't mention the time the Bronco will be available for fondling. Does anyone know what the reveal schedule will be?
