Looks very capable, but he ain't rock crawling with those steps.

The hood is off a 1960s FJ40. Kind of snub-nosed. And check out the headlights!

The Wall Street Journal's vehicle columnist, Dan Neil, gave the Rivian R2 very high marks. "There’s not a mass-market EV in the world with more rizz for the money." (Note that Neil is a big EV booster.) The review itself is behind a paywall. :crying: I note that Ford's overall EV sales are way...

Nice shots! Check out https://www.northeastadventurecompany.com/ for expeditions and things like recovery training. I got a deal for the Swisha Loop expedition in Quebec, which was fun with great people, but nothing technical. They have other, more demanding, excursions.

Any back roads, forest roads, trails that are reasonably technical in that area?

I use the Ford accessory cargo drawers--4 door only. It's also carried (perhaps made by?) Tuffy. It's steel, pretty heavy--pay attention to your accessorizing, the weight ads up! Ratchet set is essential for install. It has a pretty good lock, and the partitions are fairly adjustable. Depending...

I have the iAG bolt-ons, easy to remove for offroading, Half-moons available at $319/pair. I agree with @Brian_B, "best & cheapest" are mutually exclusive. iAG has very good customer service and stands behind their products. US-made.

I don't think I'll do the "Golden" State anytime soon. But I would like to do the Rubicon at least once.

Current SUMA mirror promotion: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/%E2%9A%A1-suma-mirrors-bronco-group-buy-%E2%9A%A1.133903/

$244 for just one glass lens is ridiculous, even for dealer pricing. For $288 you can get two Suma mirrors with Blindspot Indicator (BLIS), defroster (you might hit snow in the Sierras!) and a built-in turnsignal. I love mine. The SUMA is designed to minimize blindspots, but remember, it is...

No, silly. The other four! I've used this photo to demonstrate a problem with the OEM Goodyears "Territories:" They not only fling rocks, but rocks can get caught, work their way up the tread and puncture the ply. I heard that problem ceases after a while...like 5K?...10K miles? Anyway, it...

And what does a septuagenerian do when he's 45 miles from pavement, and 60 miles from a town with services? This, in western Juab County, Utah, near the Nevada border. I had just finished the change and was wrestling the flat back onto the storage spindle (or trying to), when a hunter drove...

Brains, beauty, brawn. The perfect woman!

If you're having trouble lifting the OEM Goodyears, then you're getting old (which sure beats the alternatives!*). Another thing about getting old is becoming careless with details. An idea: chalk on each tire where it will go, so you don't make a careless mistake with your pattern. *Tip of...

If you remember when the high beam button was on the floor, you're old. If you remember when the starter button was underneath the clutch pedal, you're really old!

At my age, I'd love a 15-year warranty on my carcass.

Oh, yes, the high beam button on the floor! Had one on my first car, a 56 Ford Victoria 4Dr with 3-on-the-tree, but the previous guy converted that a basic "H" on the floor--leaving the shift rod attached to the steering column. Looked strange. I could operate the accelerator and brake...

I'm finding the light/dark sensor is erratic. During the day, I get the dark screen. and have to go into settings to make it light. Not sure if the reverse is true yet (getting light screen at night). Could this be related to the blank screen recall? (2022 Badlands Lux package)

This is it, available on Amazon. The drain spout (smaller black piece, top) allows you to adjust the rate of flow to your preference. I keep it in a little zip-lock bag, which in turn is in a larger zip-lock bag where I keep my wheel lock key, a couple of often-used hex wrenches, and stuff like...

Gonna get a two-door? 'And coming off the line when the light turns green (deuce coupe) Well, she blows them out of the water like you never seen (deuce coupe) I get pushed out of shape, and it's hard to steer (deuce coupe) When I get rubber in all four gears...' Tip of the hat to Brian Wilson
