The nut that's welded inside the front skid plate mount has broken off and I need to repair it to mount my new (heavier) plates. In lieu of taking it to a shop to get the mount removed and the bolt welded back on, I've been told I could replace it with a captive bolt or a clip. Anybody know of...

What do y'all think?

When I was growing up in Houston back in the early 90's, we'd all heard of Stevie Ray, even if (like me) I had no idea who he was. He was, literally, the greatest living guitarist, but one I'd never heard. At the time, I was into Metallica and Dream Theater, and soon to be Tool. Then one day he...

I have a 2dr and am considering getting the Deepsleep Solo Mat instead of a tent and sleeping bag. For those of you who sleep in your Bronco, is there a way to open/close the rear window/door from inside? Do you just leave the door and glass open? How does this work? Thanks!

Seeing as it's the week of King of the Hammers, here's Quinn Pultz giving his take on the success of the Bronco platform in racing. If you've not heard of Quinn Pultz or 74Weld, their race portals are almost required these days to win. I believe the Ford Performance racing team is using them on...

We have a local off roading group called the Soft Roaders who had a meet up on New Years at Northwest OHV in Bridgeport, Texas (DFW's main off road park). We had a wide range of participants, including a red Heritage with Christmas sweater print. They go out in beginner and intermediate groups...

I mean, I might need to trade mine in just for the bouncy seats. Did like to see the Old Man Emu setup on the Trailhunter trim. But the odd fender flap thing is weird. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2023/12/toyota-gives-the-new-2024-tacoma-pickup-truck-some-extra-off-road-chops/

Went out to Hidden Falls Adventure Park early on Sunday, November 5th. This was a solo visit, although some very nice young ladies asked if I wanted to go out with them and their SxS's. Never having been out there, I got there 10 minutes early and there was already a line. In front of me in...

Took a trip out to Wolf Caves in Central Texas, which is not far from the Texas Off Roadeo. About halfway I determined they aren't open on Sundays, but decided to go out anyway just to see what I could see. Instead, Kurt the owner gave me a personal tour of the park in his sxs. It was eye...

I decided couple weeks ago the better part of valor was to spend the cash and upgrade my steering rack. Based on the increasing difficulty of what I'm up to off road, it seemed prudent to get the 74Weld rack. I huge thank you and shout out to @mpeugeot. It would have been mind boggling to get...

Took my skid plates off this weekend to upgrade my steering rack and snapped this photo. What you see here: - 8.5 months of ownershp - 46 days of off roading - 18k miles - Trails in four states (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Colorado) I remember most of the artifacts of my battles with the...

Here in the DFW area, we have one OHV park within a couple hours: Northwest OHV. The town of Bridgeport took over a rock quarry at some point and created the OHV park I believe in 2017, allowing day access on Saturdays and Sundays. On the trip last Sunday, we had @EddieN, @rotorwrench and his...

Last weekend, Barnwell Mountain here in East Texas (two hours east of Dallas) had their Fall Run. If you are an off roader, highly suggest looking out for this fun event. Courtesy of @BroncoWildFund (BWF), I attended and had a great time. Thank you to Julia and Flip. Whatever you feel about...

Wanted to drop this in for the Texas folks. Wheelers For The Wounded Fall Event 11 -12 November 2023 Wolf Caves, LLC 7966 US Highway 377 Mason, Texas 76856 https://wftwtx.com/events-2/ https://wolfcaves.com/

However, been anxious about this since I tend to leave it running when I'm out on the trail and walk away. Sometimes several hundred yards. I don't really think anyone will take it out there (I guess they could joyride it through the pumpkins), but it does raise a question. What would happen if...

Looking at the following A arm skid plates, which seem like totally different designs. Help me pick! Metalcloak Bronco 6G Front Lower Control Arm Skid Plates Pros: - Excellent coverage - No exposed nuts - Lower price ($199) Cons: - Is the material all that good? - Lacks a powder coat on...

I hear Quinn (74Weld) and others refer to whoops on trails. Tried searching around and mainly get off road rigs turned over or on fire. 🍌 🔥 👀 What are they, exactly? Is it a race term? 🤔

74Weld has finally released they're promised rec-level Bronco Portals. They are $20k for a set of four: https://motorsports.74weld.com/product/4-gear-bronco-portal/ Anyone here planning on getting these?

I've got a stock 23 2Dr BD SAS and randomly got a FordPass notice I had a flat tire a week ago. I had driven it a couple days before (I also have a truck) and no issues, got it washed etc at Buc-ees then straight home to the garage. Then at 5am or so got the notification the rear passenger...

Braptor's seem an awful lot like an old school muscle (truck). I get it (except the fenders), but can't say I care (especially for the price). Why should I want a Braptor over a King of the Hammers Bronco? Or the opposite, why does a KOH give you what you need in lieu of a Braptor...
