Not to be āthat guyā, but there is a Road Closed sign and a pile of what looks more like gravel or asphalt millings than sand blocking the road. Perhaps someone should not give our community a bloody nose by not venturing into closed areas. I may get flamed for this comment, but when I lived...
Milwaukee M12 Stubby 3/8ā impact rides with me. Smaller than M18 and plenty strong for lug nuts. I also carry a M12 light. I do have the M18 inflator onboard as well, so I could substitute in the M18 mid torque impact...
After crawling with a manual in my 87 Bronco for 20+ years I respectfully disagree. My Bronco is manual, but the amount of control I had driving an automatic at offroadeo was really impressive/effortless. Iām a die hard manual driver, but if I were crawling a lot anymore Iād consider the auto.
I generally donāt use 6h gear under about 70 mph, and then only if itās flat. If there is any grade Iāll be pulling full boost trying to climb any hill in 6th. I donāt have enough highway driving time on my Bronco to know how much of a fuel economy hit there is, but the truck seems happier in...
Right at $50K, and $16K of that will come back in tax credits when I file for 2024. The math works out to a 6 year ROI and a cost per kWh of 16.5 cents. Electricity from the utility here is currently 37 cents per kWh, and seems to increase every year. Without factoring in for EV usage they...
Iām shopping for an EV right now and also put down the $100 reservation on the new R2. With the $7500 federal and $3500 state incentives I can buy a Tesla Model Y long range AWD for under $40K out the door. Some other EVās are in the similar price point, like the Mustang Mach E or the awesome...
They are sturdy and look good on the truck. The powder coating is holding up well, they still look like new. I havenāt tried using them as rock sliders, I would expect damage if I do in the future. I would like Greenlane to expand their aluminum offerings for the Bronco. A light weight winch...
I did the ASS eliminator and the Kicker 200.4 with Plugnplaykits harness at the same time. That panel was kind of a bastard to remove, and the radio plugs were difficult to get back in the space with the adapters. The panel went back on just like before.
No Forscan changes on mine. I donāt lock it in the garage.
My folks have two cars that are in storage at my house 8 months each year. They have always disconnected the negative terminal and havenāt had any battery problems. They charge when they arrive and reconnect. Shockingly the battery...
I usually plug in a 3.5 amp Ctek charger every couple of weeks on both my stored vehicles unless the battery is disconnected. I donāt like leaving them on the trickle charger all the time, Iāve seen the aftermath of a malfunctioning trickle charger that cooked a battery causing it to explode in...
Mine isnāt stuck in 4x4, but after a month and a half of not using it the battery was down to 3.45 volts. I used my 7 amp Ctek charger for about 24 hours and the battery (surprisingly) seems ok. A week later Iām still getting all of these warnings when I start the truck. The truck is in the...
What Iām trying to encourage is that everyone have some basic recovery gear in their rig, and that it doesnāt have to be high dollar to work as needed. Plenty of guys are really happy with their Smittybuilt winch. They generally get the job done when called upon and arenāt unsafe, but they...
I donāt see good value in the Factor 55 kit, itās too much money for a perceived glitzy name in offroad products. Iām not saying their products arenāt fine, but a 30ā kinetic rope and two soft shackle isnāt worth $565. You can get kits from bubba rope or ASR for $325, both are considered top...
I donāt care enough to dislike your video. I agree with your comment that your group is just out having fun and things broke, unlike some of the āinfluencersā who break nice things for clicks. Reality TV is the demise of entertainment, and now everyone with a phone thinks they need to share...
