Personally I like the Jtops because it actually goes edge to edge. Especially important in the front so there’s no glare peaking in. It’s also far more dense than the cheaper pure mesh and makes the interior far less hot. And I had it custom printed either with one of my dad’s photos. So for me...

Pretty lake. Nice drone shots. Oregon question: have you explored the Alvord area? Looks pretty during spring but it seems like the most scenic roads are not open until much later in the summer.

I’ve seen other reviewers where people just replace the pullout handle with a soft grab handle to make it fit with existing tables. Now I remember. Been awhile since I read or watched in YouTube.

If you remove their handle and replace with a soft handle will it then work with a tailgate table?

Also like this idea! I also did killmat in the cargo area and sides when everything was torn out to do audio upgrades… that are just meh. But the killmatt did make a lot of difference. Still a loud vehicle at speed!

I’ve got it too! Never used it. I like the moving blanket idea in a prior comment. And I need a better jack. Bottle jack or inflatable? Or both?

I carry a plastic 5gal Harbor Freight gas can that I carefully fill. It does not smell at all in the cabin. I store it in the rear passenger foot well and it remains reasonably secure in that area. At most I carry one front passenger. It works surprisingly well. I’d also consider a metal Jerry...

Didn’t know about gas at Hite. Times do indeed change!

Wow the Maze requires reservations? Times change. Does it really require extra fuel to get there & back? Pretty sure I never carried fuel back in the 1990s.

Nice trip report. I was in Yosemite a few days after you. Weather started out similar but then cleared and was great. Park was not crowded at all. Least crowded I’ve ever seen it (and I go almost annually in the spring since I’m close) probably due to the cold. That was an epic hike you...

Same. Mud/Ruts is exactly what I settled on as a default (and disable rear locker) when I get into tougher terrain. Plus I also disable traction control fully (long press). Then manually engage lockers (mostly rear, occasionally front) and 4L when needed. Prior to that, on forest service road...

Yeah steering rack. If Ford Performance ever releases it for non-sas. or I might just have to visit @Snacktime and beg him for help.

So my mid-1990s paper Baja map has some value??? Admittedly a tablet would come in handy at times. I tend to over-download maps on Gaia, Onx and Google. I love maps!

I had the same concern about the battery going airborne. The design includes two slots through which I can run 1” webbing to hold down the battery. At least that was the plan. However after welding it seems like the heat shrunk the width slightly (or perhaps the tolerances were too tight) so the...

I finished a custom battery mount for the Bronco. It’s specifically for the Ecoflow Trail 200/300 battery series. It mounts to existing hardtop retention bolts next to the passenger side rollbar. Pics below. It’s a small capacity 288Wh battery with USB and 12V outputs (no AC out). I don’t have...
