  1. Does anyone carry emergency food & water for unplanned overnight situations?

    I have thought about it but the extreme temps inside the car on hot days worry me - what's the shelf life of an MRE at 150 degrees or whatever?
  2. NEW Collectible Vehicle Graphic Sticker (Limited Edition Series)

    Who's the illustrator?
  3. Two door LWB??

    I don't think I'd be a customer, but a 2dr LWB would be a great base for that Bronco pickup everyone wants - do it up like a JK8 kit. The market would much rather have a minivan with or without a pickup bed as Jeep and Gladiator sales handily demonstrate.
  4. Heading out to some heavier trails, wondering about tire compressors.

    I use the Milwaukee M18 inflator - I already had some big M18 batteries and a car charger. Added a LocknFlate air chuck to make it a little nicer to use.
  5. Parking in Seattle

    There is a decent amount of onstreet parking in the U District. Most of it is paid or at least registered through terminals - often free in off-peak hours. e: also, if you know how tall it is, many parking websites show the clearance along with the location. I can't do anything less than 7'...
  6. 5 tire rotation: local Valvoline were confused

    Now try telling them you want a 5-tire rotation on a pickup with a fullsize spare under the bed. I would at least crane it down for them and have it loose in the bed, not trying to waste anyone's time.
  7. Seeking advice/recs for upgrading the suspension on a '22 Badlands Nonsquatch

    Really enjoy my Eibach coilover kit, made the ride much nicer.
  8. Manual transmission drivers - does shifting linkage get smoother with use?

    New knob might help. I feel like the factory multipiece plastic knob flexes and adds some extra vagueness. I'm not sure if changing the oil made a big difference for me, but I am using Amsoil DCT for what it's worth. Overall though, I don't think it will stop feeling like a pickup truck...
  9. Coverings for My Package . . .

    🤣 Almost sounds like a tire disposal scam. Rolling up to the dumpster that says "bagged household trash only" with 5 suspiciously large and tire-shaped trash bags...
  10. Factor55 has a new lighted fairlead

    Not for me, but I always like to see a new product in the space - looks a little awkward vs. a standard fairlead but not terribly so. How much light does it put out? Can it light the trail or is it more of a courtesy/accent light for your hook?
  11. Oil Life Indicator. 100% 600 mi est.

    I used to think that too but my Bronco has thoroughly departed from 10k/100% and I drive it a whole lot more than the OP. It gives me about 7200 from fresh now - wonder what I'm doing to drag it down. I personally only go about 5k max between changes, but that's more my paranoia than anything.
  12. How many states has your Bronco picked up dirt from? 🗺️

    Went on a bit of a Western tour when I got it. 18 states in the Bronco - but only 1 east of the Mississippi.
  13. Swaybar end link, are they shorter on SAS VS non SAS badlands?

    IIRC the difference is achieved by an internal bumpstop on the Sasquatch shocks that prevents the 35" tire from stuffing into the fender. The Badlands omits this to let the 33" tire travel further.
  14. Bronco newbie must have mods for mpg and wind sound

    Not a ton to be done for MPG - you can run your tires at high pressure and select Eco mode but that won't change the fact it's brick-shaped. The engines are already among the most efficient gassers in the Ford lineup.
  15. Let me get this straight - The factory soft top is not a BestTop, but the accessory is?

    Yep, just sold through Ford Accessories. Going straight through BesTop may give you a more favorable warranty position because the Accessories guys can be hard to work with.
  16. New Top-Level Bronco Model Trim w/ New Grille & Wheels Spotted

    How will they know it's a Platinum without a silver tailgate? They left a good space for it on the Bronco, after all.
  17. OBX on 17” 8.5 +55 offset wheels with 285/75/17?

    Should fit without issue. Badlands already wears 285-section tires on +55 offsets. 75 sidewall and Outer Banks suspension might give you some rub when fully articulating but it shouldn't happen on the street.
  18. NEW! SS3 Combo 2.0 Optic - Driving + Flood Light | Diode Dynamics

    Saw in a pinned comment on their video - yes, the SS3 housing is the same, so these are drop in for current owners.
  19. NEW! SS3 Combo 2.0 Optic - Driving + Flood Light | Diode Dynamics

    This isn't an SAE lens, is it? I currently use the Drive and Fog types for a full street-legal-ish setup, and I wonder how this would compare to the Drive lens.
  20. NEW RELEASE!! Rigid PHOENIX Lights! Shipping NOW! Check out the NEXT THING in Lighting!

    Stiff price as usual for Rigid, but I'm excited to see some stats and tests on these. It feels like Rigid has been falling behind - when I first got into the scene years ago they were just about top dog.
