@Bgallie Refresh your screen and see my EDITED previous message.

@Bgallie I don't use a phone to check; the website version doesn't show that information. No idea what load child/individual means. CORRECTION: the website does have the drop-down arrow - mine shows Load Individual, as do the other three vehicles headed to my dealer.

@Bgallie No idea. Where does it say that?

@Bgallie I think that it means that it's ready to go, and waiting to be picked and loaded onto the next truck. I don't know what the logic is to choose which cars to haul out of there next, but it might be per the dealer's instructions; e.g., special-order cars have priority over...

For North Bay Ford of Santa Cruz, it seems that cars get shipped once there are more than six or seven sitting in the lot. NBF currently has four cars, we'll see if they get shipped after a few more come in. I've seen cars sit for up to a week without getting shipped - the lot had 13 NBF cars...

@menikmati Meeting time is still 10 AM, but the exact meeting place isn't settled. Once I know more I'll announce it here. As I'm headed out of town tomorrow, with no network access, PM Me your cell # so that I can forward it to Rusty, to keep you informed tomorrow of any updates/changes.

@Toomuchgear Nice! It'd be good to see you again. Bring the family!

Yes, all-levels-friendly. Just let the "trail boss" know what you've done/not done with your rig, and he'll make sure that you clear everything comfortably. His name's Rusty Piton.

I also ran Bald Mtn. (Extreme) a few months ago with Cal4Wheel - earning my first stripes to the underside. More recently, Deer Valley, where I incurred the majority of the more serious impacts to the plates and other underside parts (LCA bracket, rear shock mounts, etc.). It seems like the...

Nate, what trails did you do to scrape up your bottom like that?

Appreciate the feedback and photos! These are JCR plates under your Bronco? I see that clearance is eaten up by 1.5" by the plates under the chassis rail in the last photo? Do the belly plates fully cover the V6 cross-beams? Not shown in your photos, how's the JCR coverage/protection for the...

Is there anyone here awaiting an imminent Bronco delivery into North Bay Ford in Santa Cruz? From United Road's website, I see two just dropped, with "pending pickup" status at the Richmond BNSF rail yard; I'm estimating delivery in three to four business days: VINS: Ford Bronco VIN Ending...

I don't know of a full-width skid set (I haven't looked hard), do you?, and may shy away so as to avoid the extra weight of such a system when I'm on-pavement 95% of the time. I have some beat-up ASFIR V6 brace plates installed, but I doubt that they'll play nice with the RCI tranny skid. If...

Another Hollister Hills run is being organized for this Sunday at 10 AM by Bay Area Broncos on Facebook. I'll post details as they become available, and if folks are interested.

I'll let you know once/if I take them through the Rubicon this coming spring ;-)

I'll most likely be ordering both engine and tranny skids. Thanks for the feedback.

@Big Rig Bring back some photos!

The average Feb. low temperature in the Mojave Desert appears to be around 39 to 40 degrees. Bring a decent tent and a warm sleeping bag! Don't forget thick socks.

Just throwing this out there - is there any interest in a East->West run of the Mojave Road come February 2023 (before the overlanding crowd takes over in March/April)? I'm thinking departure from the Needles area on a Friday morning, and disbursed-camping for two nights on the trail; hopefully...

The front bar looks great, and it'd be awesome as it'll allow me to carry my sails (long) on top, instead of bending and creasing the rolled up fabric inside the vehicle. Any more thought on a pair of longitudinal bars? Lightweight, quick-clamp onto the front and rear bars/racks, to support a...
