Hi all,
I'd love your input and ideas on how to build my drawer system.
Requirements:
- Dual drawers
- Access to the jack storage compartment
- Access to the drawers without sliding them open
- Drawers will be for storing some recovery gear, camping kit, tools, accessories for...
2012 X5 diesel. Bone stock, with 200k miles. Having a diesel car in CA is hard - especially when the emissions system dies around 200k miles.
Did a 3-week long road-trip towing a 23' Bambi back in 2018.
Not sure how many of y'all are serious in this thread 🤣 .
That said, a cute girl rolled up next to me while I was in my Bronco, she rolled down her window and yelled, "I LOVE YOUR TRUCK!". She was in an Oxford white 2dr.
I think that's the first time in my life, a girl has ever complimented...
I don't think the GOAT modes are gimmicky. I have some recency bias as I got back from the Off-Rodeo a week ago...
Some context:
- I'm a car guy through and through. I love everything about older cars where you have to be involved with the driving experience.
- I've done a lot of track...
Sorry to hear your windshield got sacrificed :(
Not sure if it's common - but the shop that installed my PPF has it as an option (and I've ready about it elsewhere). I'm impressed by the PPF so far - the rig got kissed pretty hard by the trail a few weeks ago and no marks, scratches, or...
I feel you - I got the recall notice two days before I drove in for PPF, I was going to have PPF applied to the windshield too!
I'm heading to the dealership to order some floor mats with my FordPass points finally...
I have fresh trail kisses on the rear vinyl windows - those will definitely "suffer" as there's no easy way to protect 'em. Oh well, cost of doin business!
Depends on what level of protection / driving you're doing.
For me, I've been off-roading and having full protection was a must-have, I have the entire rig in PPF.
With the trails I've done, brush usually whacks or rubs against the rig sooner than later.
Been a bit MIA - how's everyone's rigs doing? Mine's at 3600 miles or so, running like a champ!
I'm due to take the rig in for the windshield recall, window rattle adjustment, and all that jazz. Will probably wait until I hit 5k miles and have them do the first oil change too.

We camped around Hannah Flats IIRC.
This photo was Butler Peak Fire Lookout - had a few puddle crossings but nothing the rigs couldn't handle (1 - 2 ft.) max depth for crossing the standing water.
The trails we hit were all dry and easy to get around on.
Took delivery of my 2.7 Badlands in late April - it costs me $100 to fill up here in CA with 91. It's not my daily so I'm not experiencing too much pain filling up.
It still sucks that gas is nearly $7 a gallon here!
Not sure if helps at all but I bought a lift kit from IAG last weekend and it works great on my 3/14 build.
Folding the top down does take a bit of pressure but since my top is barely broken in, I still hold the frame down while walking around the back, making sure the fabric is folded nicely...
