    Same, that is why we reserved it a year ago. We have a year 2 scheduled for next month.

    LOL, I still haven't seen a new privately owned Bronco of any flavor other than Sport on the street.

    New Bronco

    Our receiver hitch was delivered today. One nice thing about a January build is it provides great fodder for Christmas presents for a nearly impossible to shop for wife...

    Tire recommendation needed for ride quality and mild offroading

    I love the wild peaks on my old F-150. General Grabbers are nice on my Ranger too.

    Hands on, or end result?

    I enjoy building and designing things. Most of my build was planned before I decided to make it a long distance traveller/offroader. I have gotten my dad to do some of the more critical welding and a local fab shop has done lasering/press brake work to my specs but otherwise I have done...

    New Bronco

    I know around - 20*f my power steering pump really hates me... and I apologize to it. It starts talking around 15* and gets more vulgar/longer the colder it gets from there. Usually get one or two of those mornings a year which is about five a year too many. A block heater is night and day...

    New Bronco

    I went back and forth on the block heater, wished I have had one for years... little ecoboost shouldn't be a big issue to roll over though. I haven't ruled one out for my next truck tho.

    Non LT Tyres(Tires)

    I was thinking LT but typed AT for reasons unknown. And exactly, that little bugger had 6 plys but you think you can get by with 4plys on your half ton?

    Non LT Tyres(Tires)

    Before AT tires there were 8 plys or 10 plys, heavier tires are nothing new. I don't even overland really, gravel roads murder P rated tires though. I just run 6 ply though so they are on the lighter end and get along fine with my Ford F-150 and Ford Ranger. My wife has P rated Destination...

    New Bronco

    November of last year. Pretty basic build though, 2.3 slushbox Black Diamond, advanced 4wd, mid and MIC. Initially had the tow package but dropped it last year. Just want it for the hardpoint and $100 and four bolts is good enough for a constrained part that would hold up the car. That is...

    Modern EV Torque Values vs Petroleum

    I don't mind driving in circles listening to music for a couple hours. Weed eating is what NEEDS to be automated!

    Modern EV Torque Values vs Petroleum

    I have a Roomba. Great idea, still loves to get stuck under the couch and in the dining room chair legs. Lord knows what trouble one would get into if turned loose outside... EV's also are usually rated at the motor which is closer to the wheels. If you start calculating a ICE torque at the...

    Mechanic's take on Ford Bronco

    Not sure Ford has ever had a drain plug in an automatic transmission pan. I know my Ranger's stock A4LD did not, neither did the C5 that replaced or the C4 I have sitting in the shed. Dropping the pain is only really done to change the filter, you only get a couple quarts out of the pan. If...
