  1. Horn alert

    Any chance an attractive female is walking by at 6:22 every day. It might be a subconscious reflex.
  2. Let’s see where you’ve taken your non locked (3.73 non Sasquatch) Broncos

    Have been on a half dozen different beaches between NC and NJ over the past 4 years. Some with deep loose sand. Usually drop tires down to 20sh, turn off advanced traction control and put it in sand mode. Floats across the beach.
  3. I ordered a Ford Maverick, anyone else?

    A few weeks ago, I had an all wheel drive maverick parked next to me on the beach. Deep loose sand, not an easy drive.
  4. New SSM 51014 released by Ford explaining 2.7 engine dipstick confusion

    So, the dipstick that came with my bronco is correct and I only need to fill with 6 quarts.

  8. Oil Change Warning

    Just finishing up my 2nd oil change at 6,000 mi on a 2.7 and ran into a problem. When replacing the oil filter and housing, when attempting to thread it on by hand it started out extremely tight. I stopped immediately, backed the plastic housing off and found that a sliver of the starting...
  9. Dealer called 8 mos after delivery - [Update: here's the appreciate kit they gave me as gift!]

    6 months in, I’m picking up my $250 appreciation gift card to a restaurant (brewery) of my choice tomorrow. Don’t need to sign for anything, although he said that he needs to take a picture of me holding the card so that Ford will reimburse them.
  10. Stock Outer Banks on the Outer Banks Beaches

    So true about the lack of airing down and badge of honor comment. This morning I’m continuing to watch some highly capable vehicles sink while others that I wouldn’t take on the beach cruise right on by. I guess they like spending time with everyone telling them what they should have done and...
  11. Stock Outer Banks on the Outer Banks Beaches

    Had an opportunity to do some beach driving at Brigantine NJ. I drove on several different beaches with moderate sand depth looseness (especially at entrances and closer to water). Being hesitant of no having a rear locker, I brought full recovery gear. Lowered tire pressure to 18, used sand...
  12. Stock Outer Banks on the Outer Banks Beaches

    For folks without rear lockers, would you recommend disabling traction control when switching to Sand Mode?
