maybe you should stick to the trails so the little bunnies still have a place to reproduceCorrect, called a limb riser. I lost a windshield on my Jeep getting smacked with a branch that these could have prevented.
Yup. Moved to Colorado in 1991. Born and raised on the lower Cape though. I miss surfing and pretty girls driving VW Things with a surfboard hanging out the back. Was driving on the beach before I even had a license. Back in the day, that was where every kid learned to drive! You learn young what a burning clutch smells like Where in Mass are you?Stickshifter are you a Masshole living in Colorado?

Do they still allow internal combustion engines in Cambridge?I'm in Woburn but born and raised in the people's republic of Cambridge
Ha! I'm sure they'll phase them out soon. Bike cars only!Do they still allow internal combustion engines in Cambridge?
Stop the video, on standard Badlands LT 285/70 - 17 . I can't tell if those are A/T or MUDThis is on the Sasquatch tires, correct?
MaxTrax were the first traction board; they were invented in 1997. People on Cape Cod, Nantucket, the Outer Banks in NC, etc. have been driving on the beach since right after World War II - without traction boards. It is not irresponsible to tell someone heading to the beach to air down their tires, and be prepared for how to air back up; to always carry a full-size shovel, a jack stand, and a tire pressure gauge. That is what you need. In fact, those are the exact requirements to acquire an Oversand Permit from every municipality on Cape Cod and Nantucket. No traction boards are required. If you want to carry traction boards - go right ahead. Maybe they will come in handy - and they'll sure look cool bolted on your roof rack. But irresponsible to travel over sand without them? That's nonsense. Do I carry traction boards on the trails in Colorado? Yup. But on the beach? Never.
Keep in mind not all sand is the same. I've worked around sand that would pretty much suck our trucks in if you even looked at it.I would also add that if you need "traction" provided by recovery boards, a person's car mats provide the quick traction needed. Been driving on the sand for the past 15 years (almost daily), and have never owned or needed traction boards.
Check out the build and price on the bronco sport. They have a fully matted cargo area, pretty certain they will have about the same option for the Bronco.This is a Badlands, and the back of the rear seats is carpet?
I've been hoping that the aftermarket will come up with a lightbar bracket that bolts directly to the windshield, with a corresponding roof rack that bolts to the lightbar bracket (instead of the windshield). That way, it would be possible to leave the lightbar intact when removing the roof rack. It seems like such a thing should be possible.Having the lightbar attach to the roof rack seems like a drawback to me. When you want to fully remove all roof panels now you lose the lightbar. I wonder what the wiring situation is that would need to be disconnected.
You can remove all of the roof panels without removing the roof rack.Having the lightbar attach to the roof rack seems like a drawback to me. When you want to fully remove all roof panels now you lose the lightbar. I wonder what the wiring situation is that would need to be disconnected.
