I guess it depends what you mean by "mild off roading" but stock Broncos with the recalled stock Bilsteins have done the Rubicon and pretty technical stuff in Moab. Obviously neither 6112s or 8112s are going to get you anywhere close to a custom purpose built rig for hardcore rock crawling. I'm...

Fair. I think I'll pull the trigger and just use a dedicated google account not tied to anything sensitive. Thanks for the info

I'm also interested. From a quick search, it looks like it may be this device? https://www.amazon.com/CarlinKit-CarPlay-Box-Streaming-Device/dp/B0DJXNCXM7 Will wait for @BigMeatsBronco to confirm edit: cheaper on the manufacturer's website https://carlinkitcarplay.com/products/tbox-plus edit...

This spot in my profile pic makes for a good photo op. Coast Road is extremely mild (you could make it in a Prius) but at least it's dirt and Big Sur is 100% worth the drive from Santa Cruz if you have never been.

We had a blast, see you next time!

Looks awesome! Doable with a non-SAS Badlands? Seems like it should be with careful lines and a good spotter

As an FYI for those in CA who don't have the Granger option and already use Geico for insurance - Geico Mechanical Breakdown Insurance gets good reviews and was only ~$6/month when I priced it out. I'm planning to add to my policy in month 15 of ownership (the last month you can add MBI to your...

@Tye that's a bummer, Serramonte and Towne (RWC) are my two closest dealers, was planning to use one or both for service. do you think they are passable for basic stuff like oil changes or even that is a no go?

I think you are correct. Before this change, Sasquatch on the Badlands was just wheels/tires and was way overpriced. Now it actually makes more sense but unfortunately removes some sweet spots on cheaper but still super capable builds.

After learning of Ford's unfortunate and misguided allocation decision and seeing the latest price increases, I'm feeling extremely grateful I was able to get my price protected Grangetober special in June. Before any dealer markups, my build would be almost $18k more if ordered today (edit: and...

Hybrid feels like more of a possibility than full electric in the next 5 years. EVs with V2L definitely have their uses but charging infrastructure isn't there yet for the boonies. But V2L is sweeeet for camping and when CA decides on another rolling blackout or .5 inches of rain results in a 4...

Released April 1st... 🤣 Maybe in 15-20 years we get an all electric bronco with 350 range, maybe...

Imagine you will have 0 problems selling. I would have been 100% in if this was for a 2dr. My long term dream is to turn my 2dr badlands into a badtrak, or is that wildlands?

It turns out smog was required (CA requires this for all vehicles purchased outside CA) but weightmaster certificate was not. I had called DMV earlier and they told me both were required. Good luck, I'm sure your docs will arrive soon.

I'm envious. My wait today was around 2 hours but I'm also good to go now
