Another day on the ranch. No pavement here.

Wrong thread. You should post this in the Photo Challenge thread.

I'd be happy to show you all. I've been making videos of everything I do to my Badlands Sas.

Not making money off this, just figure if something I do can help one person out there, it's worth it.

Drove my Bronco to get a bottle of Blanton's without ADM.

Installed OVS Lite 270 Awning. Camping trip to Interstate State Park in MN.

After installing my cross grab bar from DV8, my Mabbet lights (rear) did not fit in the section unless I flipped them around. Also, some people have spoken out (complained) about my Spartan7 handles being too high. So to kill two birds with one stone, I ordered the Tempsnow grab handles with the LED lights. I will see how they do, they are pretty much the Lumens grab handle lights.

From reviews they seem decent enough, the difference is that they flex down like a OEM style grab handle, and since the light is integrated, it will not interfere with the crossbar. I also picked up a set of torx L wrenches, so I'll finish my DV8 overhead molle as well.

Portals?

Portals?

Yep. allows me to take lines that were not available before. like this one... there were two lines... either left or right... I chose the center.... not possible without portals or 48 inch tires.

Curious how the portals feel on the road and go fast situations? Feel less stable? I realized early that the clearance on these trucks is terrible especially in the rear with the link mount. 35's on this truck gives me the same clearance my tacoma had on like 33's. Portals are a dream but definitely been curious how the gearing in the portals affect the transmission logic, what top speed is with the extra gearing, and what overall drivability is like.

The 1.22 gear reduction on the portals makes the gearing and power feel stock... I do feel the additional unsprung weight. but it feels like wearing a set of heavy boots. Planted and stable. I did move to 2.5 inch coil overs for the additional dampening and it is fantastic. Ride is better than stock. About a week and a half ago had an emergency situation when a landscaping truck ran straight in a turn only lane cutting me off in the middle of a construction intersection. Very very pleased with the Bronco. tires locked up before abs kicked in and then had to shift lanes within 100 feet deceling from 35... would have taken a header into an F250.... No problem.... very stable, handled very well. Extremely pleased. I do feel the additional rotational resistance from the 40x13.5s... I hit the snails a bit harder going up and down the hills on the interstate and highways but lots and lots of passing power left over.

Looks fun! What brand and size tires are you running?

Nitto Trail grapplers 40x13.5.... really pleased with them. Not too much noise and they preform exceptionally in every situation I have put them in.... Do not think they will do all that well on ice... but the deep fluffy stuff was great. Clay mud, very well. Sand exceptional. sandy dirt trails very good. and rocks exceptional. Way way better than my old TSL swampers. my old Toyo MTs were similar but louder and sidewalls were just a touch stiffer. The Toyo RTs preform slightly better on road but no where close off road.

Awww, come on man, I could do that in a Geo Metro.
