Wait, the 4x4 road to Mt. Washington in Nevada is now graded? Last time I drove it 5+ years ago it was a series of 3-point hairpin turns up the switchbacks with hair-raising exposed dropoffs. Or is this a different Mt. Washington?
I think you quoted the wrong person and meant to quote me, this is Mt. Washington in NH.



The highest wind recorded by man in the northern and western hemisphere was up there.

Used Forscan to get rid of the fake engine noise pumped into the cabin along with adjusting the speaker settings for my upgraded sound system. Feels like a totally different car. I can actually drive down the road without feeling like I have a hole in my muffler.

After 34k miles I swapped out the factory Goodyears for some KO3's in sasquatch size. After a grand total of 10 miles I can say, they're definitely quieter!.

Took a trip over the weekend and was surprised about the MPG I got. My 2015 Jeep I got 11 MPG maybe 14 of ZI was lucky. This was on Normal Mode.

FullSizeRender.webp

That is a shockingly good mpg that is likely an outlier, attributable to some combination of tail wind, down-hill driving, laying off the accelerator, driving under 55 mph.

PS I was routinely getting 18.8 on my 2014 JK Sport with 32" KO2s on it.

Thanks for sharing... I wish I could have the 5 mins I wasted on that video back... One of the most boring things I have seen in a while :D

Check out Mt. Washington in Nevada. Just couple of hours outside Vegas, you can take a dirt road with hairy switchbacks all the way to 12,000 ft. Not much challenge in terms of obstacles, but those switchbacks... Oh man, some of them are 3pt turns with 1000+ ft exposed cliffside. If you don't have sweaty balls and palms at the end you are much more of a man than me.

Yeah the road up isn't challenging but still impressive af seeing travis pastrana going 100+ mph on exposed edges lol. I've been up both mt. washington and pikes peak and I feel like mt. washington's road was smaller and more exposed.

I gotta take the bronco out west like I did the tacoma, trust me I know how that can feel with 1000k foot cliff drops. This section coming down cliffhanger in moab def gave me a little fear especially when the truck dips towards the cliff coming down (the second dip, not the dip on the obstacle). Like you know you have a good buffer but it still doesn't feel great.

Added a Jurassic Park badge to the Bronco even though Jeep's were featured in the movie I still like the idea of full safari mode with the Bronco.
Couldn't decide whether I wanted it on the front fender panel or the rear top.
Decided to try it on the top first.

Aw man I was just over near there yesterday and didn't realize it was going on. I was wondering what was with all the enclosed high end car haulers were headed that direction when I was on the highway. I should have put 2 and 2 together and when and checked it out!

When the time comes, THOSE are what I want. I love the look of the RWL.
