It's prudent. There's precious little privacy in our lives these days. NSA has a record of your every keystroke. Like securing your property from at least a few levels of larceny and burglary talent, if you can keep certain amateur hackers from looking you up (on the DMV data base), you reduce...
I groan at an EV Scout. My first off-road experience was the original Scout 800A, three sticks, on the Sonora Desert. I was 18, summer job with a mineral research outfit: we ran wires out from a testing base. In those days, you drove true cross-country--over everything, as the crow flies, till...
@Haustkraft It's been a while, but I did get to South Royalton for the-pilgrimage.com gathering. 350 off-roaders, everything from WWII-era Jeeps to off-the-lot Land Rover mallcrawlers. Really great well-mapped and rated trails, which were mostly around Turnbridge. Check their website about 2024...
You have the ThorsLightning, but not the mounting molle cage ("Refuge")? It's available for the 2- and 4-door hardtop only. The cage mounts over the right rear wheel-well, and is held in place by those 3 screw points. The compressor is then bolted to the bottom of the molle cage. If you haven't...
Can I load--permanently, if possible, my onX maps onto my computer screen? I have it on my Android (SamsungS21), but would like to have it on full (or fuller) screen. I have the Badlands Lux package.
Simple explanations for this computer-un-savvy Boomer or a link to understandable instructions...
"You're So Vain"
"Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun." (Carly Simon, 1972, after Ryan O'Neal dumped her)
Consider molle construction to reduce weight.
Be sure to get a cutting board. I didn't--buyer's remorse.
Lots of them have top shelves, very handy.
I found mine (Rock Slider) isn't wide enough to accommodate my Coleman 2-burner stove with the side propane hookup. Not a biggie, but I wish it...
Depends upon how aggressive a trail rider and off-roader you are. I have the RokBlokz, which I like. Rather than re-write a few posts, search "RokBlokz" and attach my username. Removing them is a snap, but re-installing them isn't quite as fast and easy as I had hoped, but I still recommend...
Wow, a lot of put-downs by the old salts! Here's my thoughts, based on experience:
1) mudflaps. If you don't expect to do serious rockcrawling, but like rough unpaved roads and a bit of water & mud, the Mabbet/iAG (they're the same, other vendors sell them, too) will help a lot. I put on a set...
Consider saving them for things you'll really need, even if you're not planning on them now--like a winch, trail lights, compressor, camping lights. Even if you don't think you will--you might change your mind. My point: don't buy things just to use up an aux switch.
Your Bronco may lead you to...
Zero, BUT:
26,000 (mostly) problelm-free miles, but I do have a small pebble-knick--right at the passenger eye-level! So I'll take advantage of the warranty replacement option, and then maybe go with the Exo-Shield.
