A few more refineries would help. I read that fuel shortages are being resolved with oil (or fuels?) from the Bahamas. One problem is locating vessels that can navigate the Panama Canal. Fuels could originate from Houston and Louisiana, but there is a problem locating ships that can navigate the...

Watch it, buster. You're flirting with anti-Social Credit Score demerits!

So, I'm side by side at a red light with a Mustang, windows down, we acknowledge each other and chat a little. I said, "You can go faster than me, but I can pull you out of a ditch." I smiled. He chuckled. The light went green. And he does go faster than me.

Reasonably close to eastern Tennessee is West Virginia. Haven't done it, but want to check it out. There are national forests, private off-road, and the Hatfield-McCoy Trail system. Not sure of the ownership and management (can anybody help here?) but it's an extensive system of various rails...

I'm dealing with a small crack that's purely cosmetic Maybe I can get that repaired, sanded and smoothed, then get the entire grill painted white. I'll give it some thought, thanks!

It annoys me, but doesn't interfere with my driving style or needs. My main concern is that the increased use of the starter will wear that (and related systems) out earlier. This has been discussed to the point of tedium on many threads. Posters who claim to be automotive engineers and/or Ford...

Showing the Jeeps how it's done, I see!

I did put Mabett on when I first got my Badlands Sasquatch. Yes, they can be removed--I did replace them, after all--but it wasn't that simple. Turn screws on the RokBlokz are much more convenient. Also, leaving rigid mudflaps on when going over obstacles increases the chances you'll leave them...

Understand that iAG and Mabbet are rigid construction and permanent. You can't take them rockcrawling or onto off-road trails with obstacles--they'll break. You'll need removables, like RokBlokz or Gatorbacks. Some are advertised as flexible enough (the RokBlokz are, slightly) to bend over...

Rokblokz and a full-length step (not half-moons/hoops). But this is Massachusetts. You know the weather is sloppy, and they salt the roads real heavy. If you're in metro Boston, consider a Scrubadub carwash subscription (yeah, it's brushes) with the underwash. For $30/month, you can go through...

Somebody posted, "Don't call it overlanding." That's what I think you're describing--overlanding. Precious few places where you can do that nowadays. I found a few in the Southwest, but I'm not telling where they are. I consider "offroading" to be where an AWD "SUV" (I have a problem with that...

That occurred to me, but if you look at the photo array on the Hooke website you'll see that the rear hatch struts and rear-roof wrap around would interfere with the box door's swing. Either make it smaller so it opens to the (vertical) rear panel, which means reduced lateral space, and so much...

Yes! Another example of 4-door superiority! :clap:

Oops!

Understand and accept that a Bronco can be a very expensive hobby, especially if you get into off-roading.

"In an infinite universe...." But this one may call for a few parallel universes to work out.

It can get expensive. Air-up times get to be a brag point, like we used to have with acceleration back in the days of muscle cars. (Dating myself, there.) If you think you'll be airing up a lot, consider one of the NAPA-based two cylindar compressors. Moreflate, our own TrickyDick (a vendor...

Just what I was was wondering. It seems to me since the bottom panel is hinged to open, you strap stuff onto the molle panel which, I assume, is also hinged. So whatever you have must be strap-able, then you raise that into position and clip it, then raise the solid panel up and lock that. Not...

It seems that there's a paucity of common sense when it comes to dealing with ice...and ICE.

Amber goes below your headlights. We can give you a few ideas. Lots more on other threads. Use the search tool, poke around, have fun. And meet up with others, find out if they're off-roaders, or just like to trick out their truck, see what's right for you.
