While this thread keeps trending, does anyone notice worse wind noise in the winter? We have hot summers, and I suspect the AC blasting away pressurizes the cabin a bit.

As far as military stuff, I installed a tailgate table with a molle panel and molle panels on the backs of my seats. The army recently switched camo patterns and the ACU Pouches are available cheap. I used to ride horses, so I couldn't resist dressing up the Sustainment Pouch like a saddle...

Well the defender certainly got more overlanding goodies to go along with it. I mean the traction boards are cool and all. In all seriousness, I enjoyed putting mine together. It did take longer than I expected, but the offspring bought me mine as a retirement gift, and we had some fun putting...

I’m a big game hunter and like to creep around the hills till I get to a spot where I can glass. As soon as the brakes get dusty they squeak. I use the off road cruise control to set my speed for a quieter approach. Love it. It also allows me to pay attention to my lines or scenery with one...

I belive your system is the perfect solution for predator hunting where i need to be able to remove the middle section when I arrive and put it back in place when I head home.

I told my friend who I spent many years riding horses and making bad decisions with that he should slap me harder next time I get an idea. Hand stitching the leather on the bag was a major PITA. Sad part is that the first aid bag and shovel holster would complete things. I hesitate to use the...

Well done. I ended up buying a Big Bend SAS versus the Black Diamond that was on order. No regrets, except the BD Steelies. They just spoke to me on a certain level.

I describe it as sage, but I'm from the great basin where we have plenty of sage. After 2.5 years, I'm still happy with the color. The best part is that the color doesn't really look dirty, even when it's filthy.

I've hated the way the way some members here will absolutely roast someone for asking a question, so take my next statement with the humor it was intended . . . but it sure takes a Lotta balls to come here and complain about the Raptor dash. Seriously, most of us have forgotten how much we...

And this is why I'll never bust my ass looking for an OEM nut, bolt, or screw, or at least exhaust all reasonable options first. The parts department wanted close to $20 for the LITTLE screw that attaches the block for the BOYD rail to the dashboard. Just one, not a pack of say fifty screws. I...

This really addresses my need to remove the center panel but keep it nearby, I think. If you just order the rack does it come with the hardware to slide back the center panel? I’m not worried about flipping back the fronts, as I’ll just reinstall them. Also, does this seem sturdy enough that...

My wife was kinda put off when I walked out of the parts department empty handed. In her defense she thought I was buying a skid plate bolt, which was actually an order of magnitude cheaper than the screw. Also, in her defense she had her own coffee can of many things when I moved in.

Well at $18 per screw from Ford, the correct size turned out to be one from the coffee can that fit. At that price I should be able to buy enough for my friends, and thier friends, and their friends.

Yeah. Where's FordBot when you actually need him versus generic comments on pre-production threads?

I might be wrong but the Stroppe Edition seems to be a bit pigeon holed into a regional/generational niche. As a Gen X with a strong nostalgia bias from the desert southwest I really like it. There were enough of the original Stroppe Broncos running around at the HDRA/SCORE races when I was a...
