I was wondering if anyone has any feedback from towing a 21ft bunkhouse camper. Dry wright 3,000 or so. There are several brands with the same layout—the Jayco SLx7 is just one I’m looking at renting. I’m remodeling a Casita and turning it into an off-road capable camper, but need something for...

I just wanted to share my first experiences pulling something substantial with my Bronco (2.7, 4.27 Big Bend 4-dr with 35's and a 2.5 in lift). I would imagine this cattle trailer weighs around 3000 lbs. I had no trailer brakes, but it did fine. I cruised at 60 with absolutely no problem. I've...

I was wondering if anyone knew offhand what size tires would clear easily on the Big Bend wheels? I currently have 35's and aftermarket wheels but im considering going back to stock wheels to draw the tires back into the fenderwells. I have the 4wp 2.5 in lift but I suspect the issue may be...

Before somebody blows me out of the water, I have searched this forum, which I have been a member of for 1.5 years and check regularly. I know (or thought I knew) that the only way to get Advancetrac on BB was to squatch it. But I have the 4.27 gears with the rear locker, and when I switch to...

My family and I spent yesterday looking at overland campers. We have a Class A RV currently and have had everything from pop-ups to bumper pulls to Class C's. But I don't have any experience with Taxa, Mission and the like. My wife and I were highly impressed with the build quality of the Taxa...

So I recently bought this drain plug: Today, I went out to change my oil and install the plug. All went smoothly until I poured in the new oil...and realized the valve was OPEN. It came with no instructions, and like an idiot I assumed threads exposed meant open and threads in meant closed...

As one of the first to install a Bestop Bimini sunshade, I have had nearly a year to enjoy mine. As I recently updated here, I lost a part that was not essential to the operation and enjoyment of the shade (it just rattled a bit, and I would have fixed that with 10 minutes of redneck ingenuity)...

Inspired by this thread, I played around with the Facer program this morning and made a Big Bend Bronco face for my Samsung Active2. I will add a few more faces as I have time over the next day or two. I encourage any who are so inclined to try it out...it's relatively easy...

I have begun planning for some summer roadtrips with the family in the Bronco. Though we have a four door, space is going to be tight. I have been researching options for external storage: receiver racks, over-the-spare racks (none currently for Bronco) and exoskeletons, like the GOBI rack...

I have been running MT 35's since last fall with 17" Fuel Trophy wheels with the Toyota 106mm hub size. They've run fine, but were extremely harsh once I got up to ~70. I thought it was just MT's. I finally broke down and bought a set of 106-93 hub rings from Stage 3 motorsports for $18.99. I...

So...I put 35's on my mid package Big Bend around 6 months ago. They were used, so they either had no TPMS sensors or they were old/not compatible. Either way, I've been canceling out the tire pressure error for 6 months. Somehow, just today, no error! And it reads 33-35 psi per tire! How in...

I posted this thread a few months back on sprucing up some used wheels and, aside from some expected sarcasm and a dismissive suggestion or two, I found no guidance. So I decided to strike out on my own. I bought the wheels and tires for $700, after putting 33's on the stock BB wheels and not...

I bought a used wheel/tire combo a few months ago to try on my Big Bend. 35/12.50/17's with Fuel wheels with a +6 offset. Anyway, they have some rock rash on them. Not a huge deal, but I was looking to dress them up a little bit rather than spending $$$ right now on new ones. I need...

Hey all! I was told to check into Big South Fork in Oneida TN. The person I was speaking with said they had offroad trails that could be combined with backpacking and tent camping in their backcountry. Anybody with experience at Big South Fork with Jeeps and the like? I'd like to do this but...

I finally got around to making a caddie for the doors. I had been putting them on the couches in the mancave...not ideal. Eventually I will get door bags, but this will do until then. I bought these at Harbor Freight...I went to buy wooden ones but these were cheaper ($25 I think). As you...

A buddy and I installed the 4WP 2.5 level lift today. Took about 5 hours total in no hurry. We opted to take the lower control arms off completely on the front to avoid the bolt issues some have faced. No trouble really to speak of and no new info not mentioned elsewhere. Also had a deal fall in...

So now my wife says her OCD won't let her drive the Bronco anymore... the mirrors don't match?!? 😂 Is this on purpose or is something messed up?

I'm pushing 5000 miles on my Cactus Gray BB and am loving everything about it. If you would like an update, I'll provide it in another post. My issue right now is a stain that somehow ended up on my Bronco in the first 2 weeks of ownership. It appeared at the time to be tree sap from parking...

My 13-year-old daughter and I are trekking cross-country for the Off-rodeo in Austin. We are booked for Thursday-Friday, but we began in Middle Tennessee. The cargo area is downright cavernous with the seats down. We laid over in Dyersburg with a friend, then off Monday morning. Before we...

This is an update to this thread, so feel free to merge them, but I thought this might warrant another thread. The service center told me to video startup issues, and as I thought it was related to the doors off, I took a video as I started my Bronco this morning with no doors. Here is the...
