I own a factory-ordered 2022 Bronco Badlands, non-SAS. But I’ve also crawled over and under a Prototype 2A Grenadier and even in that “not ready for market” prototype-mode, I was impressed. The Grenadier was lovingly designed and built by hard-core enthusiasts and it shows inside and out. I...
You’re right to be concerned about that paint imperfection on the hood’s edge. First, this seems to be a recurring quality control issue with Ford Motor Company and second, it will unfortunately lead to rust. This exact situation happened on my wife’s Ford Explorer. I was not as quick as you in...
Had been looking for a spare tire cover for my 2022 Badlands (Non-SAS). Was looking for a design that wouldn't obscure the back-up camera and was plain or w/ minimal branding or graphics. Then I stumbled upon a photo of this unique, donut-styled cover after reading about Overland Journal Editor...
Looks great! ARB quotes the weight for the bumper, bar and install kit at 172lbs. (Then, there’s the added weight of a winch.) Any thoughts about installing HD shocks/coils up front to firm up the handling?
Feel your pain. I used to live in San Antonio so I sympathize with why anything would rust down there (except if you live on the Gulf). Simply, your Undercarriage components will continue to rust because 1) they’re probably made of pot metal; and 2) factory coatings are woefully inadequate...
I get the aesthetic but one flaw with hidden winches is that you can’t visually inspect the spooling of the winch line during retrieval nor the condition of the winch line itself.
I think if could find a 987 Cayman manual in good condition (and check that the IMS bearing was replaced), I could do that. Nothing wrong with the 981 either.
Awesome! What country were you driving in these videos? I got a 80-series Land Cruiser mired in a wet salt pan out near Rafha, Saudi Arabia. Learned a lot about desert driving in Saudi.
I think the All American Labs spare tire-mounted storage rack is probably the best option currently (and comes in two sizes). While deleting the spare seems like an option if you’re handy with an ARB tire plug kit on a puncture, a sidewall tear is problematic. An AAA card is great on highways...
