I was more concerned about throwing rocks than mud, but the mud was an issue too. I hate it when the door handles are all muddy. I don't think I had owned my Bronco for a month before I ordered mud flaps and installed them. I'm more concerned with functionality than looks, so they belong...

Off road motorcycles got me into off-roading. I have been riding motorcycles off road for more than 50 years - I've had 25 bikes so far. When the Bronco was first announced it sounded interesting. I went ahead and put $100 down to get in line, but wasn't sure I would buy one. Then my wife...

Best trip would be Moab. Went once when I first got it and did the White Rim Trail, then went again the next year for the Off-Roadeo. Did the White Rim Trail again.

Would you call it a one-time fee when purchasing a Garmin GPS? My main off road GPS is a Zumo 550 which came out in 2008. I've had to replace the battery once, but it does great with GPX files. I also managed to snag a used Zumo 660 for fifty bucks that works fairly well off road also, but...

They make one that says "Sasquatch" on it. I think the tires are around 30 inches, or maybe 32.

The Bronco Sport now has a Sasquatch package, in case any body wanted to know. This thread is four years old. Based on what I've seen around here, about half seem to have the Sasquatch package. And even though there are a lot of off road places to go around here that are fairly close, a much...

And that's what I DON'T want in a personalized license plate, something that isn't obvious right away. All five of my current plates are obvious at a glance.

Unless something changed recently in California, you only get seven letters. So GLVEFITZ would be a no go. Even if you could get it, I think it's kind of lame. ;)

StickerFab does not have this one:

Just one tip - turn on the air conditioner. I meet people in side-by-sides up in the hills on hot days and I'm thankful that I can select the temperature that I want inside my Bronco. And when I'm on one of my motorcycles up there, I'm often thinking that I should have gone in the Bronco.

You can always try what works for my convertible Mustang - wear a hat with a brim that can also work as a sun visor. In that case it works for sun coming in at all angles, like from the side, where I can't put a visor. I'm 6'1" and don't have an issue with the visor sticking down too far, but...

Just to be sure, I would go with a set of chest waders that the fly fishermen use. But I've rarely gone through anything even a foot deep and it wasn't mud. It comes with living in the high desert. My bigger concern is if for some reason I had to walk out of where I'm taking the Bronco, what...

The best vacuum is the one at the local car wash. There is no way some portable unit could have a strong of suction as that one.

This is how I did mine. I basically wanted the most four-wheel-drive features for the least money, so mine is a 2-door Base Sasquatch. I added mud flaps after the first few outings, because it obviously needed them. And I removed the roof rack, which is now on my son's 2-door Base Sasquatch...

You're doing it wrong. I drove mine up a rough muddy hill the day I bought it, just to clarify that I bought it to be driven off road in dirty, muddy conditions. Then I had to figure out how to get the mud back out of the fender wells, etc. :sneaky: This is it, the same day I bought it:
