The wheeling world is full of thingwavers and gatekeepers, who really don't like that you can go to the same places with your Base that they can with their SAS/Lockers/etc. Our 2 door base has really surprised me with the off road ability. Ford made good use of the Terrain Response they...

this is important. Annoying yet vital.

Some friends from high school bought a cpouple of Gamma Goats when the army in AK surplussed them, and they said that were were absolute shit. They got stuck at the first sign of ickyness and were pure buttered hell to get them unstuck. SUSV's were better off road but not practical on the road.

My first real 4x4 was a military spec Scout II. It was titled as a 1971 although it wasn't released to the cilivilian world until 1972. Four pot 196ci engine, 3 speed manual, no power steering or power assist for the brakes, army spec seats like a school bus, and mine came with a bullet mark on...

There are still some places where you can live like people respect you and your stuff, we live in one. Amazing how fast it can turn. I used to live in the small town of Wasilla, AK. The UPS guy once left long narrow packages that lookled exactly like guns in boxes on my porch and they were there...

Just let the thieves have it, they say. I have insurance, they say. You still have to pay the deductable, the insurance company payout isn't going to cover the ADM some of you knucks paid, and why in the hell are we cowed into believing that the best we can do is rent our valuables from the...

Thanks, I can do that. I have the forscan, it's darn handy.

Base Bronco with the base stereo, which is fine after i swapped out the dash speakers for some Kickers. It occured to me that the rear speaker pods take up a stupid amount of interior space, it's usually just the 2 of us, and they sound like crap really. Can I take them off without killing the...

I bought the GMRS version of the H8, basically the same radio but type accepted as a GMRS so if by some remote chance the FCC was to question it I can say "this is a GMRS" It won't operate in both services at the same time. It is a valid option to cover both services with one radio, and I can't...

According to the owners manual instructions regarding the keys, you can only have 4 programmed. The question that I can't seem to find the answer to is that over the life of the Bronco or at one time? Curious because I programmed a spare and managed to lose it almost immediately. So I have...

Whatever caused that wasn't the temperature.

With the latches at the windshield there's no way those panels are coming off unitentionally.

I have TIDRadio H8 that is type accepted on ham and GMRS, but, one or the other depending on the keys you hold at startup. It won't do both at the same time. I can program 2 meter and 440 ham frequencies for RX in GMRS mode but won't transmit which I how it keeps its type acceptance I would...

I built my fairly basic Base for $32K, added $1300 in aftermarket rubber, the same comparable build is now $46K. If something happens I'm out too.

https://www.radioddity.com/collections/accessories-antenna/products/radioddity-hf008-antenna This came up in the Radioddity spam the other day and I'm strongly considering this one. Probably inspired by the "Outbacker" antennas that seem to have utterly disappeared. Mate this with a FT-891, or...

Carvana is at $35K for my 2 door base, 12K miles, which is still a bit over what I paid after PP and with upgraded tires. I'm thinking 2 doors are holding values better. Base doesn't exist any more so I ran the builder for the cheapest equivalent. $45K! That's a big jump over a year. The...

You must really have a lead foot-my 2.3 7MT gets 18ish on a 10 mile commute, with hills involved, and I've gotten 23 on a steady 60mph pace. 16 is my snowy day mileage. I'm going to say that your Bronco is living a good life for sure! I usually feed mine Marathon, or Sunoco if I can get it. BP...

The ice road system at Big Lake is a hoot. You can drive to areas completely inancessible to wheeled or tracked vehicles when the water is open, a lot of cabins are built with materials delivered in the winter, the truck can drive right to the front door. That looks like a lot of fun! In the...

On my base 7M, slippery is only initially availabe in 4H. Now if I want i can turn of the 4H and still have slippery goats, but I'm not sure it's worth doing. I haven't checked the other goats, and I will have a look later as it's a 4H kind of day here.

Rough Country tailgate table. It's not very good, and every other one I've seen is better. Get one of them instead.
