  1. What Are Your Best Tips for Off-Roading in Hot Weather?

    Well that's just great, I've been sweating this whole time for nothing lol.... I do notice that the fan eventually stops when I shut the AC off, even in 100+ heat, which supports what you mentioned. I'm going to be in the desert this weekend, I will check out the temps with AC on/off...
  2. What Are Your Best Tips for Off-Roading in Hot Weather?

    My "opposite day" recommendation is to turn the AC off, but that's so my Bronco won't leave me stranded from overheating. But then again I like hot weather. I always carry a Zep spray bottle full of clean drinking water, it fits perfectly in the door cup holder. Sounds weird, but I can: spray a...
  3. NEW Flashcal+ Bronco Support!

    Can you add an option to disable anti-stall on the 7MT?
  4. First trail shakedown. Otay Mtn, Anza-Borrego Desert, Ocotillo Wells

    Nice shot from blowsands, and other great pics/vids. I was just out there baking in the heat last week. Usually run with AC off, windows down. Seems to run ok with AC but I'm not taking a chance if I don't need to. No real tips here, other than make sure you take a million gallons of water and...
  5. Door Skin Adhesive Failure - Hollow Sound When Closing

    I'm still trying to figure out what adhesive is used, and if it is structural - I don't think it is just from how little is used. You can easily access the area by removing the door panel and splash shield. On my 2 door, the adhesive kind of 'split' down the middle, it was easy to see. On the...
  6. Door Skin Adhesive Failure - Hollow Sound When Closing

    Roll the window all the way down and lift up the Glass Run from the back, being careful not to detach the front. Apply slow upward force at the back edge, and it will lift up. You only need to lift it an inch or two. Move it slightly to the side, and you can look straight down and see the...
  7. Door Skin Adhesive Failure - Hollow Sound When Closing

    Thought I would see if anyone else notices this. On my 25 4dr Badlands, a couple months after I bought it, the doors developed a distinct 'empty tin can' sound when you shut them. On my 25 2dr, today I noticed it made the same sound on the Passenger side - which was heating up in the sun (black...
  8. How to Remove Your Steering Wheel

    Not to be nit picky, but it's a Torx Plus, which is why a standard Torx bit feels loose.
  9. Hearing Protection Recommendations (when driving top off)

    I've used Mack's silicone ear plugs when on long solo drives. Unlike in-ear plugs, there is zero discomfort because they sit in the outer bowl of your ear. Not a high NRR so you can still hear horns, other vehicles, etc. but definitely good protection.
  10. Is it the glass... or the windshield angle?

    That's not the answer. My windshield took a small rock and chipped in the middle of nowhere, Utah. The only vehicle was a small car driving the other direction, in lanes separated by a huge dirt median, and it was easily 300+ yards away. I was a bit confused as the rock seemed to come from...
  11. Help repeal the roadless rule in national forrest.

    I would not mind. There is little protect land remaining, and I believe protecting what's left is important. I do not feel entitled to drive everywhere.
  12. California Free Transmission Jack

    Correct. I bought it and used it once, for changing the clutch in my (now gone) Mazda RX8 in my driveway. It's 6.5" lowered, and surprisingly goes up to 32".
  13. California Sold: Free Transmission Jack

    What you get: A Harbor Freight 2000 lb transmission jack in excellent shape, complete with cobwebs and dust. What I get: More space in my garage. It's complete with all the pieces, works 100%, and the hydraulics are leak-free (imagine that from HF!). Located in San Diego area.
