I’d go Everglades unless you feel like you have to have the 2.7. I’m quite happy with the 2.3, but mine is a 2 door with a stick. If possible, try to drive a 2.3 and a 2.7 before deciding.

There are set screws on the bottom of the door. Tighten those up to decrease (but won’t eliminate )window rattling and should decrease the window popping out at high speed in windy conditions. At least it worked for me.

‘22 Bad Mansquatch 2 door. 14K miles. Rusty trail site bolts and light switch gremlin are the only issues, but if nothing else pops up, I’m not taking it to the dealer until the warranty is nearly out. I tightened the windows myself. The interior materials and dash layout are disappointing, but...

I’ve had a ‘13 Land Cruiser since new, now with 175K miles, and a ‘22 Badlands 2 door Mansquatch since 3/22 with 14K miles. The former has been my daily driver and the latter my toy. I’ve made 3 wonderful treks to CO/UT from TX in the Bronco and have not had any problems. But if the car in...

Yes. It’s a great road. The Needles district of Canyonlands is about an hour from Moab. The road is permit only and limited to 20 “day permits” per day, although if you are camping and have a multi-day permit, this will give you access, as well. You will need an early start. I recommend taking...

Elephant Hill Rd. Canyonlands.

Crowds become even less desirable as we age. In September, on a trek in the west, I did a nice hike in Great Basin NP. It was wonderful and memorable partly by the dearth of people in this lonely spot. A couple of days later, with my son, we hiked in Yosemite to the top of Nevada Falls. The...

I like the IAG steps and mudflaps.

Front mud flaps.

Any road that gets you to Telluride can’t be all bad.

My daughter and I road-tripped to Moab after her college graduation last summer. We have been on many great trips together over the years, but our days together in Canyonlands on Elephant Hill Road and White Rim Trail will undoubtedly be some of my fondest memories. She learned how to be a...

‘22 Badlands, Sasquatch, 2 door, Manual. White Rim and Elephant Hill Roads-Canyonlands Imogene Pass Padre Island National Seashore

Unable to find a picture, but check out the old (1969) Redford movie, “Downhill Racer.” Although the starring car is a 911, there is a training scene that features a Bronco. Pretty good flick.

Unfortunately, my marathoning days are behind me. But I did hike S. Kaibab down and back one Summer morning. That was about as tough as any of the 10 marathons I did. R2R2R is next level. Awesome run and time!

I’ve been on somewhat of a National Parks’ vision quest for the last five years and have now been to 47 out of our 63 NPs. I’ve managed to get to all of the parks in the lower 48, west of the Mississippi. The west offers a lot of bang for the buck and I re-visited 7 parks in June with my...

Awesome trip!! But based on the picture of you by Delicate Arch in Arches NP, it looks like you hit 6 NPs. Don’t sell yourself short.

‘22 2door BL Mansquatch. 14K miles. 3 Badge of Honor trails, 7 National Parks and one National Seashore. No problems, other than a possessed light switch. I did upgrade the base stereo. Instrument panel is silly and the interior plastics are horrible, but it’s been a lot of fun.

The tie rods/steering rack issue has been the design flaw that should’ve been addressed sooner. I’m still confused as to why the 3.0 rack/rods were only available on the WildTrack and not the designated rock-hopper, Badlands model. I have a ‘22 Badlands Sasquatch and have driven some relatively...
