    So, you're posting all these pictures of nice, glorious snow to help reinforce how hot it's going to be in the PNW over the next few days?

    Just be careful of what you step in. Especially if there's dogs around [emoji6]

    Gaia Mexico Topo Layer

    Wonder how many tiles you can download at one time? Will have to play around with it. I've used the NatGeo Baja layer and it's not bad. They do have a limit on tile downloads so it took a lot of work to download the entire peninsula. Here's a comparison of the Guerrero Negro area NatGeo...

    Abandoned/derelict sites

    Old farm house south of Ellensburg, WA A little creepy, plus there was an owl sitting in a window that scared the crap out of me

    Which maps do you use in Gaia?

    For me in the west, I've found the USFS 2016, USFS Roads and Trails, and USFS Visitor maps cover things pretty well for most of the areas we're in. They do overlap outside the boundaries of the National Forest a bit, but there are times on state land or ?? where you have to find others.

    yeah, imagine all the hate from the Toyota faithful..a Ford in a Toyota. That in itself would be worth the price of admission :cool:

    https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6007-23TA https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-6017-23T Wonder if that could be reprogrammed for a more torque low end curve. Then if you could buy the 7 speed out of the Bronco, assuming you could get it to mate up...hmm, thinking my 3rd Gen...

    4WC - Overrated and overpriced

    Hallmark owner here, very happy. Have had it in some very wet conditions and didn't have any condensation problems. As the majority of the structure is made with composite panels, you don't get the cold bridges like you do with an aluminum framed structure such as 4WC. They're heavier but you...

    Yeah, the so called "Man-Squatch" is going to be a MY22. I do think they confirmed it. Pretty much the only way to get the 4.7 gears & lockers if you stay with the Base. Don't think you need to do any of the other interior or other "luxury" packages. I would think it would take some time...

    It's sort of an off-road driving school/experience for new Bronco owners. 4 locations across the country. https://broncooffroadeo.com/#/

    New Bronco

    Yeah, a lot of First Edition folks are probably frustrated. I think the MIC top will be better than people are thinking though. The early shots of it were a pretty crappy mid-gray tone but I think they've darkened it up a lot and it will match the rest of the "plastic" moldings (fenders, etc)...

    You think they're that rational? It is entertaining at times though o_O So many people there that are obsessing about minutiae and off-road capabilities that have never been farther off pavement than parking on a lawn.

    Don't hold your breath for August. The painted hardtop does for sure push it back to the "late availability" section, but the sas and 2.7l may also push it back too, Lux package may also. When did you make your reservation? That's also part of the equation, and of course trying to sort out...

    10,000km from Minnesota to Cabo and Back in the Green Machine

    Yep, we're signed up (I'm assuming you got the email from Evi)! Can't wait. I remember talking to people who had done it before and they kept saying you'll be driving in a group, then all of sudden you realize there's no one around. Then all of sudden you have vehicles coming in from...

    10,000km from Minnesota to Cabo and Back in the Green Machine

    Just ran across this, great reliving it and seeing how others fared. Team 09 here. Think we were ~13th after the first 2 days. Got to enjoy Diablo (not so) Dry Lake bed ourselves. Got off the track and dug it in for a bit. Did get ourselves out and went back the way we came. The desert run...
