How often are you performing routine maintenance? My Ford App states nothing is scheduled until 10k miles but I will have under 1k miles in the first year. Just purchased a new Toyota and their scheduled maintenance (free for 24 months or 25k miles) is at 5k miles or 6 months. This seems more...
Wow, very thorough discussion, nicely done. While I would love a plane as well, I know my limitations. Just too lazy and indifferent to do the preflight checks. Would just jump in and start flying which could lead to disaster.
If I am not putting more than 1-2k miles/yr on the vehicle does the oil need to be changed yearly? Is moving it from one side of the garage to the other once every 1-2 month sufficient to maintain battery life, prevent tire flat spots and get the fluids flowing?
Just test drove a Gladiator, that is a rough ride compared to every other vehicle I have owned. Kind of awkward getting in and out of the back for passengers and will certainly need side steps for anyone with some age on them. Seats aren't bad but narrow sitting area. Looks great and has...

All great points. A few things are swaying me to the Gladiator:
1) Doors/Roof off make it WAY more fun
2) Much narrower compared to F150 74" vs 97"
3) Have a Bronco Raptor so would use that on long road trips which is more comfortable
4)...
No much into rock crawling, a bit to monotonous for my taste. More moderate speed 4x4 backcountry trail kind of driving with some occasional obstacles. Definitely keeping the Raptor but want to add a pickup to the fleet. Don't mind having a more utilitarian style as nothing will compare to the...
Currently own a Raptor but recently began to take notice of the Jeep Gladiators with bed racks and how functional they seem. Never been a Jeep guy and always had Ford pickups but don't care for the new Ranger style. Been looking to get another pickup since donating my last to a family member and...
Anyone with experience using these bumpers. Considering it for a Raptor version.

Anyone have personal experience using their bumpers? The functionality of the rear seems perfect.

Per their website:
This Bronco front bumper retains OEM parking sensor locations, and there is an adaptive cruise control relocation bracket available.

Agreed on it likely blocking the view significantly. Would be interested in having this guy post some pics of the camera view. Don’t...
Anyone placed a new bumper on a Raptor yet other than those at SEMA? ADD Rock Fighter looks like a good option and one of the builds at SEMA had this plus the factory bash plate. Not sure if they modified it to fit or not...
