I’ll be there Friday, Sept 10. Driving up from Phoenix. Trying to figure out where to stay. Red Rock Casino is booked. Any of you locals have any thoughts about where to stay?
Good job on the resto-mod. Really like those Duff bumpers and the recessed/covered gas cap. Can you give us some details, engine mods, what tranny, transfer case, gearing, axles, etc?
I’ll get zapped for this one for sure, but I would like a one piece, sturdy, body color matching top. While it can be removed, not particularly designed to be convenient. Will have a sound deadening headliner and built-in bosses to attach various configurations of racks. Although I wouldn’t...
Camelback Ford in Phoenix doing MSRP but adding $1377 “Protection Package” which is window tint, door edge guards, nitrogen, wheel locks, paint protection, and handle protectors. That is non-negotiable. They say they are willing to honor A, Z, X plans. Not sure what honoring those plans...
Four years ago when Ford announced the new Bronco I needed a vehicle to tide me over until the Broncos were delivered. So I bought a 4Runner Limited as a filler with no high expectations. Turns out that I really like the 4Runner WAY better than I thought I would. Only complaint is I would...
I was following you right up until “fictional losses.” I can assure you they are very real…ha. “Frictional losses,” on the other hand, get you every time. Really enjoying you and jasper discussing fluid mechanics, was my favorite class in school about a zillion years ago. Bernoulli would be...
Yeah, Phoenix area isn’t great for BBQ. But have you tried Little Miss BBQ on Cave Creek Road? The real deal Texas style ’que. Best I’ve had in AZ. Rudy’s and The Thumb are are not bad either, somewhat under appreciated here. The thing is, if you have to use sauce, the BBQ is less than top...
Yes, this. ^^^^^ I test drove a WT a couple weeks ago and noticed that it was worse when you open the door a bit more quickly. When it happens, the glass sort of vibrates back and forth for a second. When I mentioned it in a post, some said their Bronco didn‘t do that. Others said theirs did...
Still anxious to get a WT, but since a test drive a couple weeks ago been giving thoughts to other vehicles. Giving a look at the 110 V8 Defender.
Also considering new 4Runner when/if new update comes out. Reserved WT mid-March and ordered end of March, so I’m at the back of the line...
My dealer let me test drive, but they didn’t seem all that happy about it. To set it up I e-mailed the sales mgr who is also their Bronco sales guy. I told him I wanted a test drive before final order in the fall. He e-mailed me back “come on in.” So I printed that e-mail and brought it with...
REI has been dead to me when they stopped selling Camelbak products in 2018. Yes, I know they are back selling Camelbak products now. I just never forgave them for stopping in the first place.
How about an Orvis edition?
Yes they do. Get a heavy duty double rack and add 2 add-ons. Check out this page from their web site:
https://www.1up-usa.com/product/super-duty-rack-add-on/
It says, “The single-rack carriers are rated for up to three bikes max and the double-rack carriers are rated for up to four bikes max...
100% agree with this. Some of you think this is a competition. That’s not the point. It’s about different rigs, set up in different ways, and therefore having different capabilities. I thought the Bronco really shined in this video and showed significant “out of the box” wheeling ability...
I have used Dynamat on a couple projects. It’s great for sound deadening. But it’s flexible. Do you think bed liner will remain stuck to it? I have Rhino lining in my truck and it’s flexible, so that should work, not sure about some of the more rigid liners. In any case, I really like your...
