Looks like a fun playground, but man, the sand must get everywhere. Definitely stay on top of those air filters.

Nice! Looks like a blast!!!

Yup! Badass pictures too. I'm about to take the family to Colorado Springs and if we had my Bronco I'd be doing that in the sand dunes south of Colorado Springs. Looks fun as hell.

You should send that shot of the wheel in the sand to Ford!

Nice Bronco, perfect for where you are. I love it in the Sonoran Desert out here.

If those weren’t aftermarket wheels, Ford would probably pay money for that shot.!

I love the pics! Fantastic stuff. I did a 4x4 off road tour there years ago. Had a very capable driver and the dune bashing was incredible & terrifying at the same time!

This is awesome hey Ford check this out @Ford Motor Company

Yeah that looks like a hard hit but pictures turned out good

Really? I thought it landed quite softly.

When it sent the sand flying up it looked a little rough

KMC Wheels would probably want that photo for its Bronco wheels pages

You’re exactly right… the impact on the take-off was harsh - the landing was actually very composed. Very impressed with the bilsteins for factory shocks. A bit more travel might be nice down the line, but gonna run these for a while.

the bronco is fantastic in the sand… have found 4L is best for the super soft stuff we have here. Sand mode is OK but the ESC kicks in too often for my liking in steep dunes. You’ll have a blast when you do get to take it out.

Oh I bet. Though airing down helps most vehicles do okay in sand even FWD cars. Ask me how I know, after being stuck in my wife's old Fiat 500 several times in a row. Lol. Slow learners here.

Hi from Dubai,

Been enjoying testing the bronco in the offroad terrain we have out here in the Middle East (mostly desert, some mountains). Loving it so far.

Enjoying the forum and picking up great intel along the way - keep it up all.

Bodes well for our Death Valley/Mohave run!

Beautiful rig and it looks great in the sand! I went with the ppf too. Hopefully it holds up as well as I want.

Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/Cooling-Mattress-Airflow-CertiPUR-US-Certified/dp/B073JVPPWF/ref=sr_1_2?crid=5UIGUB23H8&keywords=Zinus+1.5+Inch+Swirl+Gel+Cooling+Memory+Foam+Mattress+Topper&qid=1653901926&sprefix=zinus+1.5+inch+swirl+gel+cooling+memory+foam+mattress+topper,aps,1219&sr=8-2

Opted for one with bumps on one side for sound dampening - not sure if it makes any difference as compared to a flat topper but it definitely works really well (bumps facing up). Just made sure it was cut as wide as possible to be snug against the trektop's hardware and sit on top of the roll bars (sides and c pillar) - had to cut out a small hole on each side for the rubber stopper on the trektop's center bracket, but otherwise just straight cuts. Obviously not possible for the foam to extend all the way to the front, so cut it flush with the bimini when the front bit is clipped back (didn't have any wind noise from the header section anyway so this is fine).

The difference at 87mph (the speed limit on a lot of the highways here) is huge, and well worth the little bit of effort each time. Haven't tested over a long period though, so not sure about durability - hopefully fine.

Now if only I could find that in black… just picturing what a teal ceiling would look like haha

ha.. yeh, I had the same concern but actually you can't see it behind the bimini. Obviously black would be preferable, but not a particularly popular mattress color for some reason
