I'm 6'5" and 230, so I get your pain. I'm about 50/50 proportioned though so that helps. Your thread, however, reminded me of the surgery I had to do on my first car -- a '79 Chevy Luv with manual. In order to get in the thing, my dad and I had to remount the seat back as far as we could...

I should really do a chalk test.

My tires from the factory (ordered my Bronco) were way over inflated too. Must be something they do. I ran 39 on streets for a while, per the door jam. However, it was wearing my tires pretty badly in the center (almost 2x the wear of the outside after 5k) indicating that 39 is too much...

Got her a bit dirty (just lots of dust inside and out) after a full detail. Running with the top down always results in.. lots of dust inside. Go figure!. Just a trail near where I live. Mostly easy going but a few steep rutted hills with lots of loose dirt and rocks, so got to exercise 4LO &...

I see that Ford is doing Bring Your Own Bronco (BYOB) events in Moab. I am really interested in these, but I am concern about whether my Bronco will be good enough. I have a 2024 2DR 7MT Badlands, with stock everything that actually matters. On the FAQ page, the BYOB implies heavily that you...

This is a habit I have found very hard to break. Luckily, it only happens to me when I first get in an automatic and not at stop lights!

Does Leno still lean and rub his riveted jeans all over the pristine paint jobs of his guest's cars?

Get ready for companies having to do this to start ramping up. After suits having an orgy thinking they can save a lot of money by replacing expensive employees with a glorified chat bot, they are reaping what they sow. Hope those engineers made Ford pay for their stupidity.

Can't wait to see this map in August!

If you're going to be in Ouray, there's world class off-roading in the Ouray and Silverton and Lake City area. You can check out the Alpine loop: Cinnamon Trail, Engineer Pass. In that area you can't hardly throw a rock without it landing on a great offroad tail. Unfortunately, it's also a very...

Have a 2DR 7MT with the 2.3L. It's adequate, but I am also spoiled with most of the vehicles I've owned being V8 or V8 equivalents. It's a small turbo engine, so.. it is wimpy until about 2000-2500 rpm, then it kicks in. The 2DR is fantastic, other than drastically cutting down on the...

There's 0% chance you will get denied a warranty claim due to a wrap/color change. Excepting, of course, anything that you touch or affect while doing the wrap (paint, exterior trim, etc.) which would be fair game to deny in certain circumstances, IMO. Your VIN is all that matters. It's also...

I have the hundreds and hundreds of rock chips in all my cars all driven on a variety of tires as evidence ;) Though I've never used racing slicks. Those probably don't throw rocks.

Some tires are worse than others, but all tires grab and throw rocks.

I bought a non-SAS Badlands (7MT) because they wanted $6,000 for slightly different shocks and crappy, noisy MT tires, hah, and some slightly different body pieces (flairs, SAS flap thingy, etc.). I learned after that only the manual version comes with 4.7s so all good. Apparently Ford just...
