  1. Mistakes were made…

    I fully agree with you that is part of the fun of exploring. But for this situation I got myself into there was no excuse for falling into a hole I knew was there lol
  2. Mistakes were made…

    Recovery was pretty straightforward actually. Anchored to a gladiator with a Rome in the back while a wrangler pulled forward slowly with a winch. Engaged the rear locker and put it in crawler gear and it just floated the right rear over the hole.
  3. Mistakes were made…

    I think it will, looks like nothing is bent just slid up on the mounting bolts. Gonna check and see if it will move back in place on my next day off, actually thinking about pushing the other side up so that the gap between the fender flair and bumper goes away lol
  4. Mistakes were made…

    Upon closer inspection now that it’s daylight it appears the bumper got bent up slightly. Still impressed with how the factory “capable” bumper took the hit.
  5. Mistakes were made…

    Not a bad idea. Everyone feel free to add their “navigation errors” here lol
  6. Mistakes were made…

    Primarily pay attention to the trail. Went out to the far end of southern in Rio rancho NM to assist in the recovery of someone else who was in a precarious situation. Was heading back out after others had rescued that one and was almost to the end of the trail and knew that bad spot was there...
  7. Mistakes were made…

    I fully knew the hole was there…. Thankfully we were able to get it out without much fuss and no damage other than a couple new scratches in the steel bumper.
  8. Top 4 Mickey Thompson Baja Tires

    Currently running Baja Boss AT 255/85R17 on my non sas BD with no lift. Being load range E they are heavy (especially mounted on ateel wheels) and a little bit rougher than the General Grabbers that came from the factory. Wet traction, mud and snow they have been great. The local rocks in NM...
  9. Tall and skinny tire time.

    Some observations after 6000 miles. Went with a lower pressure when I got them installed to offset the stiffness of being load range E. Was running at 30 PSI and the ride was pretty good but fuel mileage took a hit. Went from 21-22 MPG on the factory grabbers to 16-17 on the mickeys. Ride was...
  10. Enable Cornering Fog Lights on Bronco with Modular Bumper via Forscan?

    so no light is better than “improper” light because the book says that’s not what they’re for. Bumper is too high on a bronco for fog lights to be anything other than decorative anyway. I have a dual function, spot and flood, light bar under my winch and flood style ditch lights at the A pillar...
  11. Have you put Stickers on your Bronco? Let's see them

    Weather was finally nice enough to install my new back window graphics.
  12. Seats: MGV or Leather

    Love my MVG. They do get toasty in the summer and your butt and back will be sweaty after a drive, but they are super comfortable and easy to clean the mud off of when you forget the windows are down……
  13. Why are Jeepers so rude to everyone else?

    First time I took my non sas BD out with the local off road recovery group it got lots of side looks and there was whispering and laughing about it. When I managed to pull the completely dead jeep out of the sand (with help from another jeep) then tow it 5 miles down the riverbed solo to get...
  14. Enable Cornering Fog Lights on Bronco with Modular Bumper via Forscan?

    For off road or rural roads at night when there is no fog or snow falling. High beams on illuminates down the trail and fog lights throw out a nice puddle of light right in front of the bumper and partially into the ditch.
  15. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    Thanks to the road department and a local with a dozer the road is finally open and repairs to the power are underway. Had to take a pic of this little drift they cut through to open the road.
  16. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    I’ve had these down to 10 psi with no issues. Was running at 15 for this trip. I think the “narrow” 35’s fill the wheel well nicely and is a good aggressive look without sacrificing highway ride quality.
  17. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    Had to keep up the speed to blast through the drifts. I’ve driven that road enough that I know what’s around each of the blind turns otherwise I wouldn’t have had the guts to go even that fast in those conditions.
  18. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    The main reason I went with the Baja boss AT was the size the offered. Have a non sas black diamond and wanted to go bigger diameter that would fit without rubbing. 255/85R17 is just about the same diameter as the factory Sasquatch tires but narrower. I buy all my tires from discount tire and...
  19. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    It fits perfectly. Will have to come up with your own plan for trimming the plastic covers around the factory recovery hooks but install was a breeze even by myself.
  20. The mountain beat me today. Stuck 3x and 1.5 hrs of winching

    We managed to make it up there today. The bronco only made it about 50 yards past where the downed tree was before the drifts got way to big for it, ended up riding in the side by side with tracks the rest of the way. About 8” of ice coating everything made for a total mess and will probably be...
