I’m two years in (15K miles) with my ‘22 Badlands Mansquatch and I plan on keeping it a long time. But that’s because it’s my toy, while my ‘13 Land Cruiser with 178K miles is my daily driver. With that said, Ford went cheap on the steering, interior and instrumentation. I have ordered the...

Good looking rig!

There’s a good chance your tires will be overinflated. There’s no reason to run them higher than recommended and your ride may improve if you run them a few psi under the recommended. If you drop the inflation too much, the low tire light will come on. Enjoy! Odds are your rig will be perfect!

I like the MGV. My rig is 2 years old with 15K miles and the seats look like new. I’m a big fan of leather, but it’s nice that I don’t have to worry about these seats like I would leather. They do get hot in the summer though. Black leather would also, but probably not as much.

Although the thought of an extra step with a Faraday pouch to get in and out of my car is not appealing, neither is the thought of a stolen car. My future son-in-law just had his new TRX stolen in broad daylight while at work in Dallas.

I’d get the wheel locks, whether from Ford or aftermarket. If nothing else, at least for your spare.

I’d go Everglades unless you feel like you have to have the 2.7. I’m quite happy with the 2.3, but mine is a 2 door with a stick. If possible, try to drive a 2.3 and a 2.7 before deciding.

There are set screws on the bottom of the door. Tighten those up to decrease (but won’t eliminate )window rattling and should decrease the window popping out at high speed in windy conditions. At least it worked for me.

‘22 Bad Mansquatch 2 door. 14K miles. Rusty trail site bolts and light switch gremlin are the only issues, but if nothing else pops up, I’m not taking it to the dealer until the warranty is nearly out. I tightened the windows myself. The interior materials and dash layout are disappointing, but...

I’ve had a ‘13 Land Cruiser since new, now with 175K miles, and a ‘22 Badlands 2 door Mansquatch since 3/22 with 14K miles. The former has been my daily driver and the latter my toy. I’ve made 3 wonderful treks to CO/UT from TX in the Bronco and have not had any problems. But if the car in...

Yes. It’s a great road. The Needles district of Canyonlands is about an hour from Moab. The road is permit only and limited to 20 “day permits” per day, although if you are camping and have a multi-day permit, this will give you access, as well. You will need an early start. I recommend taking...

Elephant Hill Rd. Canyonlands.

Crowds become even less desirable as we age. In September, on a trek in the west, I did a nice hike in Great Basin NP. It was wonderful and memorable partly by the dearth of people in this lonely spot. A couple of days later, with my son, we hiked in Yosemite to the top of Nevada Falls. The...

I like the IAG steps and mudflaps.

Front mud flaps.

Any road that gets you to Telluride can’t be all bad.
