Just out of curiosity, what percentage of the Disco I's came with 5 speeds? Thanks, Todd Z.

Thanks for the info, Scott. Obviously your experience with them is a lot more conclusive than my brief interaction with them. Todd Z.

No. Todd Z.

The Good 1. I really like the Kaymar rear bumper system. It is simple and clean, complimenting the lines of the truck and relocating the tire to the bumper. Scott: Curious if you have any thoughts on the rigidity of the Kaymar tire mount on washboard/corrugated road surfaces. I did the...

Looks like a nice fall trip on the Smiley Rock trail? Todd Z.

I think so. I never really gave it much thought before this thread but I'm in agreement with Larry's assessment of his rig. I have upgraded axles, suspension, power train and larger brakes than stock as well and feel very confident I'm well within the confines of my truck's abilities when...

I don't even have to weigh my truck with my fully loaded camping weight to know that I'm over the stock GVW. The truck's stock GVW is 3900 lb. Changing to a big bearing 9" rear axle (which mine now has), Ford bumped the rating to 4700 lb. I had my truck corner weighed a few months ago and the...

And I'll add an 'outstanding' to that report, Kurt! Todd Z.

I believe a second person in the rollover has succumbed to their injuries now. It appears the refueling fire may have been started by static electricity. I think as a result of this accident you'll start seeing a lot more people grounding their fueling towers and race cars and wearing proper...

I've never used Philips bulbs but it's been my experience (which seems to mirror the experiences of a number of acquaintances) that the H4 bulbs, particularly those with power ratings higher than the typical 55/60W, have a limited lifespan as compared to standard halogen headlights. I routinely...

Catch and release. Todd Z.

After our damp camp at the end of the rainbow and just after the airstrip visit that Lars' documented earlier, we stopped to circle the wagons and take a few group pictures. First the Broncos: In reviewing the vehicles it's interesting (at least to this car-crazy engineer) to note the...

The newest one for my wrist. Todd Z.

I wouldn't be surprised if Superwinch has upgraded or improved their hubs in the intervening years since we last used them (probably 15 years ago). Todd Z.

Always enjoy reading about your upgrades, Larry. What prompted the upgrade to the D60? What about the D44 wasn't beefy enough? I hope the D60 Superwinch hubs are better than their D44 hubs. I like their 1/4 turn feature too but we (early Bronco guys) gave up on them back in the mid-to-late...

A few additional thoughts and pictures to add to Lars' fine report and pictures. As we left Wendover on the first official day of our adventure, we had several views of the salt flats in the area. Someday I'd like to come here for the Bonneville races. Old iron lined up at the old pump at...

That was my first thought when I saw it posted too. There will soon be an article on the homepage on transferring accessories/components from one vehicle to another :). Todd Z.

Lars is doing a great job with the narrative for the trip and encouraged a few of the other attendees to chime in as well. I was the Arizona contingent in our group and drove from Phoenix to Wells to meet the group. I stopped in Henderson, NV, along the way to pick up my co-dog Terry from...

That's what we've been told the last two times we've driven south (2010 and April of this year). You have to stop at the checkpoint near Guerrero Negro to have your tires sprayed for bugs but otherwise you're good to go. Todd Z.
