I wanted to get a master thread of sorts going for this for those that need to plan out vacations and such. It's scheduled for May 2-6. Hopefully we can have a strong 6G showing.

Well I did a thing. Time to stop beating on the 6G so hard. I was going to build up the Sami but frankly I like wheeling with Ford/Bronco guys more.
This one has a 4.0L swap, locked f/r with 4.56 gears and a D&D doubler. Going to end up ripping out those axles and putting 1 tons in.
We all know this but some of us may be more stubborn and unwilling to fully admit it.
I went out again last weekend and tried to hammer a square peg in a round hole again and it just isn't working. It's not the IFS that's the problem, is the ground clearance. Everybody else on that trail with...
I present to you the tallest 35" tire made, at 35.6", the Accelera Badak X-Treme. These are ridiculous. I was starting to regret not going 37s but even these are going to rub.
They are deafening at highway speeds.
Comparison shot - with the 33" in the back...
Time for another oil change and I started looking into upgrades. The FL-910S is the spec for us, but many other people with other 2.3 equipped cars have switched to the FL-400S. Additionally, the Mobile 1 M1-209 has been discussed as another step up further. I haven't pulled the specs on it yet...
I've never lived with an enclosed trailer so let me bounce this off you guys. I have an idea to pick up a 8.5x24 or so 10-14k gvwr cargo trailer for two purposes.
I'd like to have a small sleeping area up front and put the Bronco inside and tow it with my truck for long distance wheeling trips...
No affiliation just figured I'd pass a long a nice deal. I just put my order in for some wicked 35s, they come out to $238 each. They have 37/11.5/17s too. Deal is on for 6 more hours.

So an observation I wanted to share. I know a lot of people have had issues with windows not dropping fast enough and catching the door seals. I've never had that problem until now. I spent 4 days in very dusty areas with the windows down almost full time, the last day the dustiest of all. To...
This last month without my Bronco has gotten expensive as I became more stir crazy. First I decide the Samurai has to grow up so I can drag it down the really bad trails and not my poor Bronco. But an offroad-only toy needs a crawler hauler. I decided to build an old Loadstar.
I picked up the...
On 5/15 at about 10am we all met in Mullan, Idaho where the Jeep was unloaded off the trailer and the Broncos aired down. From there it was just a few minutes drive to the trailhead. 3 Broncos came out, my BL on 35s, a CO BL on 37s with 3.5" lift, and a GC BB on Sasquatch wheels. Unfortunately...
So I'll preface this by saying I sucked up a boulder and it trashed my brake line and ABS sensor. Maybe that's all that's causing this, but why both sides?
Both my front brakes locked up solid. I was able to get them to spin by bleeding them but the boulder side locked up again as soon as I...
