I loved how you turned around and went back through that hole twice at 3:39ish. Reminds me of when I had my rubber boots on as a kid. Had to stomp in ALL the mud puddles.

I got lucky enough to borrow a dealer demo who I've nicknamed Alice!
Huge thank you to @Tommy@DaveSinclairFord

First off Alice is a 4 Door Area 51 Big Bend! She sat on Fuel Covert Wheels in a 20inch. Also a 2inch Rough Country Lift.
Her treads were 35inch Toyo Open Country MTs. She hummed with the 2.3. Alice also had the added AUX stitches, rear tailgate table, JBL sound-bar, rear locker added!

My first stop was gas! Topped her off about $50 bucks or so, had 287 miles to empty.
So after getting her home that evening the first test was..would she fit in my garage.

No problems their. Had and 6 inches to spare. I’ve got a shelf in my garage so I was pretty much nose to shelf.

The next day I got up bright and early. About 730 and off I went. A few people I work with wanted to see her. So I spent an hour letting them look her over. Of coarse they are also in love with the bronco. After that I took off to spend the day driving to few of my favorite places and just wanting to spend seat time to see how I’d get along with extended road trips.

I spent a good 9 hours in her before dropping her back off at Dave Sinclair Ford. Not only was she comfortable, she was peppy, and tons of fun. The full day I spent on her I was averaging 15.5 mpgs. She had about 760 miles on her I picked her up and around 1200 when I dropped her off.
I stayed mostly in normal mode, expect for the first night in town I had some fun in sport.
Here’s he rest of the pictures and a video of a Forest Road I roamed on. The video was about 30 minutes then I sped it up to 8. I average around 5-25mph on the road. Pulling off at a few pull off. Their road is called Eagle Mountain. It’s got several trails throughout. I could not take Alice though. The trails are tight with lots of trees. I would of scratched the crap out of her!

That was the only time I put Alice in 4H. I switched to Mud/Ruts. Let of the gas and she engaged to 4H. Then I was like let’s do this both ways. I’d been thinking I would of used trail turn. I had the perfect opportunity but not thinking I backed up.

Hmmm…I wonder if a BadBatch Field Trip ti Ford Headquarters would get covered by the news…
Well they covered the Area 51 "raid". I'm sure we could get some air time sometime in between the unsolved hit and run and the wake surfing puppy.

What was your opinion of the JBL accessory speaker after using it?

For me I can take it or leave it. I’d rather be able to see out the back then to jam. Won’t be something I’ll get for myself.

Great write-up, Ashley. I can't wait to hit those trails in Southern Illinois once I finally get mine. I'll have to drive from Chicago and man is that a long boring drive. Thanks for sharing @618TRVLWILD 😎

Def check out Redbird SRA too(Indiana). I bet it’s about the same distance. Plus you can hope the great river road too!!

DAMN! I have my dealer demo now and I only get 100 miles before they start charging $0.25/mile. Considering I live like 15 miles from the dealer and had plans with a friend this evening, I've already clocked like 60 miles between those 2 things. I might have to cross my threshold a little tomorrow to take this thing at least onto some dirt paths outside of town.
