It’s a 2017 4R with 15,000 miles that I bought new. I have a work vehicle so I don’t put too many miles on the 4R. I actually think my wife and visiting friends and family have put more miles on than me. Longest trip I have taken it on was to the north rim of Grand Canyon. Keep us up to...

I like the extended receiver because it would allow me to mount my bike rack without using an extension to clear the spare. And yes, I would bang my shins a few times before muscle memory takes over and avoids that.

Congrats on your Timberline purchase! When will you take delivery? I’m still a bit undecided, but right now I’m leaning toward keeping both the 4Runner and the Wildtrak. I’d use the 4R as daily driver and the WT as hobby, weekend fun mobile. I spent last Friday at one of the Bronco Off...

Saw my first Bronco in the wild last Wednesday. It was white and headed west on Northern Avenue, around 31st avenue. I was headed east so couldn’t identify trim, details, etc. Was pretty excited at first, then remembered mine will show up who knows when…

Ha ha, that’s me! I’ll try to post some photos when I get back home. Nice wheeling with you Doug.

Just got back from the Mt. Potosi Off Rodeo event today. All told, I think I had about 4 hours behind the wheel of a Wildtrak. It was a great tIme and have three observations. First and most important, a big shout out to Anthony who was our guide/instructor. Can’t say enough positive things...

In keeping with the theme of Broncos, here are two pics of Gem and Buddy assisting in the disassembly of the EB in my avatar. Both have now crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I miss them every day. But to keep me company these days is Sadie, Sweetie, Shorty, and Chloe. I think I like most dogs...

Congrats DYT, great vehicle! It’s one of the alternatives I’m considering to the WT I have on order. The “Lux” Bronco you mention would be another alternative if that ever happens. If you have test driven a Bronco, how does the Defender compare with respect to engine performance? I’d...

One option I’ve been thinking about is to switch my MIC order to a soft top and hope the aftermarket comes out with something good within a reasonable time period. I’m sure many others are considering this too.

Same here. Wonder why some got the invite and some didn’t? Oh well, headed to Vegas in Sept. But sure would have preferred the Ft. McDowell event. Crap…

I like the idea of mounting the spare to the bumper like this. Does anybody make a bumper like this that also has provision for a removable gas can carrier? In other words, a bumper that you can attach a gas can carrier to, but take off the carrier when around town and without need to carry...

Ha thanks for the memories. I had a 71 Scout my first 4 wheeler. I think I took the top off once and it was such a PITA, I never did again. I ended up selling when I bought an 89 Bronco. Seems like I was always chasing some electrical problem or little thing. But the drive train was...

I would be all in on a fixed hard top and that’s actually what has me considering the Defender and 4Runner (when their 6G comes out) in addition to the WT I have on order. I have little desire to take the top off. I ride my bikes 4000 miles per year and that’s enough open air for me. Not sure...

I agree with this and i’m not sure why this bugs me. I‘m looking at this like a rental car situation and maybe that’s not a good comparison. It’s possible that a big chunk of the $75 is for liability insurance even though it’s being advertised as a CDW. In my case, I’m doing the off roadeo to...

Not particularly relevant to OP’s question, but a body lift is a very common and useful mod to an early Bronco. Anybody that’s worked under an EB knows how tight things are around the tranny and transfer case. Even a 1-inch body lift makes working under there a whole lot easier. Most lifted...

I signed up for the insurance. All things considered, this is not such a big deal. But I sort of resent Ford (or whoever is running this thing) essentially saying “you are responsible for damage even though we are there with you and instructing you how and where to drive.” My personal car...

Thanks! I made a reservation at The Silverton. If I get there early enough, I can waste some time and money at Bass Pro Shop.

Yep, I was just looking at Silverton. That’s probably top choice as of now. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check that out.

Tried Expedia and room rate was $269 not including taxes and fees. That’s an oddly expensive property. It’s just me, so I don’t need anything super nice. Just hot shower and wifi and I’m happy. Thanks!
