Yep. Hoping we don't end up with trains stacked behind the pass and a "first in-last out" staging at the end point. My son worked in shipping logistics and I have worked with longshoremen, so I know that during COVID "we can't get through the later containers to your earlier container" was a...

True. I am getting a hood liner because I like the aesthetic and to protect the hood paint from engine heat, though modern cars don't seem to suffer much from that like older ones did. I do worry that maybe condensate will linger between it and the hood; so may want to check on that. As for...

I hear the Bronco volume control goes PAST 11...

I agree that insulating the engine bay is not first priority. I am ready to add weatherstripping to the MIC roof to deal with wind noise, and vibration dampener to the inside firewall, doors and on the floor to mitigate tire/exhaust and road noise. I don't need it to be super quiet. But in the...

Absolutely I do not. That is why I'm asking.

Has anyone added firewall insulation to a Bronco model that doesn't have it from the factory? If so, is doing that reasonably possible without removing the engine? Any tips for the best approach? Seems like a tight space - but I don't have my rig yet so judging from photos only. I am thinking...

Below is a map of the Bolt Creek fire as of today vs BNSF Rail Line in green. Follows US 2. WSDOT just closed US 2 in both directions at noon today. (See https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/). Given the "red flag" warning that went out yesterday and record high temps today, and recent...

In Wenatchee as of early this morning. The Bolt Creek fire is still raging in the pass. (I was backpacking there the day it started and barely escaped, But that’s another story) I’m a bit concerned about smoke damage as the train passes by.

If you want to see remaining BNSF waypoints that don't appear on Google maps but that you might hear on the CSX tracker, you can look at this: https://www.multimodalways.org/docs/railroads/companies/BNSF/BNSF Maps/BNSF Division Maps/BNSF Washington Div Map 1-7-2000.gif. More BNSF maps are at...

We are on the same train. My dealer (Bill Pierre) said once it arrives, about 2 days in the rail yard for pickup, 1-2 days to get prepped. There's renewed talk of a rail strike. I think they are in a cool off period now. Hoping it is averted or at least our Broncos escape the RR system before a...

My son inherited my dad's Honda Accord with cloth seats. Grandpa smell never left the seats, even after multiple detailings and summers baking out. As for the Bronco BD, throwing a towel or seat cover over the MGV on hot days is a better plan...especially when Grandpa rides shotgun.

10/3/2022. The rail car is now moving west on BNSF. Last logged in Yost (near Galesburg), IL.

Mine is on CSX and has been sitting in Gibson, IN for 2 days:

Where did you put it?

He was 1.5” higher. Only half the wheel diameter difference is on the ground.

Check again. I'm right behind you at 750 and got mine.

Nice work, and interesting. I have a top Yakima box I generally use when camping, but it would be nice to have a place inside to put the stuff for shorter, lighter trips and avoid the hassles of the top box. I thought of the Yak box as generally pretty secure, but my nephew had his entire box...

You could run painters tape carefully along the edges of the stitching to protect the sides. Not sure about what happens if you touch the pen to the space between the stitches - maybe just wipes off? This does seem like something I would like to do, but to spend 3 hours on it? Maybe I can carry...

Here is an excellent tutorial showing what it is like to remove the BD interior in order to install sound deadening material. . He is using a kit but you can do the same for a lot cheaper and maybe even more effectively using CLD sound deadener tiles and cut them to fit. Just make sure all...

So I can hose out the MGV INSIDE my BD, but not the roof on top that keeps the MGV from getting wet. 😵‍💫
