Went out for an off-road driving clinic in Hollister, over the weekend. The Bronco earned her stripes (and trail whiskers). Learned a fuck-ton, including using 2nd gear when in 4L to avoid the crazy torque using first gear in 4L.
Looking forward to Off-Rodeo next month!
Ah damn, sorry to hear/see that! Don't worry, it happens to all of us! A few weeks ago, I was in a rush too and I managed to scrap my hatchback's wheel pulling into the garage.
Installed these on my Badlands today - simple enough and the protection I was looking for.
I'll probably make it a habit to pull them off and clean out under them every quarter or so. I'm low-key worried about crap getting under the guard since it's not completely mated to the door sill itself.
I took a nap hoping it was just a bad dream, then I realized I had video footage to remind me.
+100!!
Ironically, I found that video after my mishap. At least my Sunday morning pancakes were on point.
I'm really lucky the garage has give and my entryway wasn't any lower. Will definitely...
I did a full "functional" test yesterday, everything is still in alignment and factory stiff. Glad to hear yours wasn't damaged either!
The top still locks nicely into place when fully retracted and still takes some force to lock back into position 1. No new rattles or leaks. I washed the...
Pardon the mess on the floor too - I was taking inventory of my camping gear for an upcoming off-road trip. :LOL:
My heart definitely stopped.
I think what saved me is that the garage door has quite a bit of free motion (vertical and horizontal) when it's retracted, 2 - 3" in each...
Sunday morning was perfect, I got up early, pancakes, coffee, etc... I finished up at the farmer's market and with the great weather, I folded the top back for my short drive back to the pad.
Got home... And nailed the garage door. Fortunately no damage, the latches folded backward (popped...
After about 4 weeks, 1200 miles, mixed city/highway, here's my very short list:
- Heated steering wheel is wonky - I think I may have a defective one, it wasn't even turning on the other night.
- Air vents leak and whistle when they're closed and the blower seem a bit asthmatic. Floor vents...
I was getting some ideas for a platform build and finally hopped in the back to poke around. 3 weeks after taking delivery, I see that the driver's side molle panel has black shock cord versus the orange shock cord on the passenger seat.
I guess at some point I'll take it in for them to swap...
Hey OP, did you ever get this fixed?
I was monkeying around in my Bronco and realized the driver's side has black shock cord and the passenger side is orange. 😂😂
A little inspiration for y'all. Picked it up on Friday, spent all day Saturday driving down the California coast from Big Sur, through Santa Barbara, into Los Angeles.
I've clocked 650 miles and already had to hose a ton of mud off. This truck is a hoot!
