Last one here from this trip, we opened the throttle up a bit more this time than the last time I was here. Also compared running in Sport Mode 4WD Hi, vs Sand Mode 4WD Hi. Sport Mode does open things up a LOT more vs Sand Mode, but the traction control is on by default. I honestly prefer the...

Amazing! This looks awesome. Thanks for the write up.

I don't have horizon leveling on my Hero7 Black, but I wish I did. I'm just using the regular hyper smooth stabilization on the Hero7 pointed out the windshield. It's mounted on a GoPro brand suction mount on the inside of the windshield--cup is just behind the rearview mirror just to the...

Same trip, we followed the Jeeps through the Yellow Trail. This is a very tight and wooded trail with lots of potential for pinstriping and grazing trees. I was definitely feeling it with the extra sheet metal width of the Bronco vs. my old Jeep; this will take some getting used to. The...

I just use the GoPro suction cup mount hight up on the windshield, with a Hero 7 Black 👍😎

Spent the day out with the club at the Badlands in Indiana, and as usual we hit the Creek Trail. It was unbelievably windy; between the dropping limbs and the usual branches it was a trick avoiding pinstriping on the Eruption Green :) I am still getting used to the exterior clearances of this...

Here is the whole drive out to the Keweenaw Rocket Range via the Rocket Range Trail. This is a short trail just wide enough for a Bronco, but it's loaded with great history.

Here is the whole drive out to High Rock Bay. The road is rough but an easy drive; the destination is pretty great, landing on the tip of the peninsula out in Lake Superior.

After spending time exploring the Keweenaw Rocket Range, we headed back on the Mandan Road towards Copper Harbor. With heavy snowfall on the way in the evening, we needed to get back on the road, off the Keweenaw Peninsula, and through the U.P. to Wisconsin. Before that however, there was time...

Close by the High Rock Bay Road spur, is another narrow trail, the Rocket Range Trail. The trail leads to the site of an actual rocket range--the place where the first rocket to reach space from Michigan, was launched on January 29, 1971. The rocket range was active from 1964 to 1971. NASA...

The access to High Rock Bay is via the High Rock Bay Road, a short trail intersecting the Mandan Road. High Rock Bay Road will take you past Schlatter Lake and to a panoramic view of Lake Superior at High Rock Bay, where Manitou Island is also visible. Don't stop at the end of the High...

The next morning, we woke to drive the Mandan Road out to High Rock Bay, at the very end of the Keweenaw Peninsula. Mandan Road continues where U.S. 41 ends, and is a gravel and dirt track that loops through various forest preserves at the end of Peninsula. It's another great road to drive...

Michigan highway 26 shares a junction with U.S. route 41 in Copper Harbor, and taking M26 southwest from Copper Harbor to Eagle Harbor provides an extremely fun to drive and scenic route along the Lake Superior Coastline. After hiking Bare Bluff, we stopped in at the Eagle Harbor Inn for a late...

After visiting Copper Harbor back in July, we decided to return in mid-October for a short weekend trip away to see the fall foliage, and find some adventure. After the 10 hour drive up through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, we continued to head north on U.S. Route 41...

Very cool... joined up!

The Axials are fun! I really like the 1:24 scale because nearly everything becomes an obstacle to climb it over, since they're small. I definitely wish I had the Sta-Bar... it is needed for sure in some spots there, you're right. Will have to go with an aftermarket one when those eventually...

Definitely get the skid plates, and a different tire will definitely help as well. I have taken mostly stock Jeep Wrangler Sports (except for upgrading skids and tires, and maybe just small lift 1-1.5") through the Badlands for years and with some good skids and tires, and some good spotting...

I honestly had more fun in the dunes than I ever had before. That is always considered the "easy" area of the park for 4x4's, but I have tried to keep up with a friend with SxS's in my Jeep and it was impossible. I think the Bronco could come close to doing it. Of anything I did out there, I...

We would've taken it further, but we were out there by ourselves. I've done many of the climbs over the years in the quarry with other vehicles. Some of them can be deceptively easy if you know the spotting and tire placement tricks. Best to do with a group, though, and as you found just...

The Badlands is located in Fountain County, Indiana, near the banks of the Wabash River and just outside of the town of Attica, and not far from Turkey Run and Shades State Parks. It's over 1400 acres of varied terrain, including dunes, rocks, sandstone ledges, mud, wooded trails, and other...
