My wife's old iPad has been sitting on a shelf for a few years now (literally) and we decided to go ahead and see what we can do with it. I had to do a factory reset but got it running again. We decided to try getting it setup as a GPS unit for my Bronco My question is, what map apps would allow...

Nobody is denying that MaxTraxx are everything they're advertised to be. I'm just curious what cheaper alternatives there are out there that, while may not be as good as MaxTraxx, are also considered good enough for your use. To start things off, my dad always used 2X6 and 2X8 boards with...

Here is my situation. After driving my Bronco for a bit, my girlfriend is wanting a small SUV for herself. We've spotted a Range Rover at a local pawnshop that from what we've seen, looks clean and well maintained for $2500. However, I've always owned or worked on Ford vehicles and don't really...

I've recently received a HUGE windfall of cash from a court settlement related to student loans and while the vast majority of it will be going into savings, I've still got a "spend it" bug so I'm planning on just using $1000 of it to do some work on my 1991 Ford Bronco. I've done a LOT of work...

My next big project on my 91' Bronco is to re-gear the axles to squeeze a bit more MPGs out of it. I'm currently getting 11-13 MPG, depending on my driving needs, highway vs. city. I believe it has the stock 3.56 gears in the 8.8 and the equivalent in the Dana 44 TTB, but I'll double check that...

Has anybody ever had any dealings with Tactical Armor Group? What did you think of their products and service? My deployment is almost over and I've got some money to burn on my Bronco. I've been looking around at something to replace the stock bumper and tire carrier and I think I found the...

I've been on the lookout lately for a new Micro SD card for my Surface 2 tablet. The one I have right now has 128 GB memory, and while it works great with images and documents, its not so great for videos, so I'm hoping to track down a higher quality card. This one was a Christmas gift and I'll...

Well, my girlfriend has fallen in love with my full sized bronco and wants to get a comparable vehicle for herself. We've been mainly looking at Rangers and Bronco II's, but I was wondering what else would be good for her. I'm very familiar with Ford trucks/SUVs so that is what we were aiming...

I've got an extra rear window on hand after I swapped it out for a defroster version. I don't have room to keep it and just need it gone. Will fit all Broncos built between 1980 and 1996. Has some scratches, but nothing that can't be buffed out or fixed. Open to any serious offer or trade. I'm...

I feel kind of stupid for asking this now, but I need to make sure I'm wiring in my light bar correctly. Besides the light and a battery, what else is needed to wire in an LED light. The lightbar I'm using is and Eyourlife 50" that came with no instructions. All I need is a list of parts and...

I was just wondering if all good camping knives have to be expensive. I'm a craftsman so I've always made my own, mainly because I enjoy, but also because it seems like the best out there are always way out of my price range or too expensive for me to want to even use. They'll have so called...

I'm not asking about a specific app that you use. I'm asking about what you think makes, or would make, the perfect navigation app. What do you like about the app that you use or what do you think should be added to make it perfect? The reason I'm asking is to generate support for making the...

Just thought I'd see what power tools could and should be taken on a trail ride. Obviously for recovery and repair purposes. Me, I carry a Dremel rotary tool. And yes, it has a cord, but I also have a converter that I can hook up and power it with. Why a Dremel? Because the cutting disks on it...

I bought a Surface 2 one week ago to be a dedicated rig computer. My intent is to use it for GPS navigation, information storage, music, movies and generally keeping up with the world when I don't want to lug a laptop around. After a week of playing around with it, I feel I'm able to give some...

I recently purchased a Microsoft Surface 2 to act as an onboard computer for my very low tech Bronco. Its meant to act as GPS and be semi-permanently based in the truck so I'm looking for mounting ideas. I realize that with the variety of rigs on here, it will be difficult to find one that...

I'm wanting to upgrade my Bronco a bit with a semi-permanent navigation system. Now, I could have just gone with using my phone, like I usually do, but it eats up my data plan using the navigation on it since its constantly connecting online and updating the maps as I go along. I could have gone...

Its because they just go out and do stuff. No gimmicks, no number fudging, no grandiose bragging. Just plain and simple showing what they got. http://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/throwback-thursday-1985-ford-truck-hauls-chevy-tows-dodge-hill/

I wasn't sure where to post this so here goes. In celebration of all things old and still going strong, I'm wanting to see the rigs out there old enough to be considered an adult. (18+ years for most areas.) And how you manage to keep them running in these "modern" times. Little add-ons like...

You've been given $100 to spend on any sort of rig modification or add on. What would you get? It must be the complete modification. No partial mods. It can be vehicle specific or general vehicle modification. It can even be tools, so long as they are kept in the vehicle at least 75% of the...

I was wondering what little things the rest of us on EP do to our vehicles to improve them. The rules are simple. Nothing that costs over $25 cash (or your national equivalent) and improves your ride for whatever you use it for. My own little addition, for example, is applying RainX to all the...
