  1. Red Bandit's Road Trip to Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur.

    I just went down to Cabo last January. Did about 600 miles off-road. Our group is going again in 2027. We had around 50 vehicles. Half camped and the rest of us were in motels or hotels. It was a 10 day trip with two nights in Todo Santos. BajaXl.org
  2. Nacimiento-Fergusson Road - Big Sur, California

    Fantastic write-up and pics. The Hitching Post restaurant is 5 miles from my house. Jalama is famous for their Jalama Burgers at the cafe. If you tell the park ranger at the gate, you are just going to eat, he will give you a free pass to go in to eat.
  3. Land Cruisers and Rovers: You mad, bro?

    I counted 16 of them in Santa Barbara in one day. I really like them, but couldn't justify taking one off-roading in Baja and beating it up like my Wildtrak
  4. Roof grab handles with lights are coming [AIGMUX]

    Went off-roading today and my wife was complaining about the lack of a grab handle. I would be interested in 4.
  5. Pulled over for "film" on my license plate

    My wife and I took my son's tricked out Mercedes C300 (lowered, low profile tires, white and blacked out chrome). We were driving back from the movies at 11pm on a Friday night. It was a four lane street and the cop was driving towards us. I saw him pull a U-turn and pull us over. I wish I had a...
  6. Need Tow Strap recommendations

    After coming upon two situations where I could have helped pull someone out, I want to get a tow strap. Looking for suggestions on type, length, Kinetic?. Best place to order from? Thank you in advance
  7. I’m so frustrated!

    I once owned a Black CTS-V in 2003. Had it two years. I swore I would NEVER own a black car again.
  8. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    I lost my rear shocks the first day of a My rear shocks went out on my first day in Baja. I had to do 600 miles of twerking on dirt roads. Also, any pothole could send you sideways on the main 2 lane highway. Scary when a big rig was coming the other way. My extended warranty did pay for...

    My daily 2012 FF Weekend F430 Family sidecar rig Wildtrak in Baja 1912 Haynes race car
  10. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    Ford replaced my shocks (both reservoirs were gone) under my extended warranty. When the new design comes out, they will replace with the new ones.
  11. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    You need to find another Ford Dealer. My service guy arranged for me to order the shocks and said Ford would reimburse me. He showed me the communication from Ford saying it would be covered under warranty. Since I was out of the original warranty, they said they would reimburse me. I then...
  12. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    Got my Wildtrak back yesterday. They installed new Bilsteins under my extended warranty. When the new design comes out, they will replace them again
  13. Bronco Expedition: Baja - June 20th - 23rd - 4 day Bronco offroad run

    I just came back from the BajaXL.org rally. Had a fantastic 10 day adventure. The locals were friendly and beers were $2.50 and the most expensive dinner was $15 for fresh shrimp. I wish I didn't have a wedding that weekend in June or I would definitely do this
  14. Replacing Bilstein shocks on my 21 Wildtrak

    I would be glad to pay the difference in costs of the parts and any extra labor
  15. Replacing Bilstein shocks on my 21 Wildtrak

    I lost both of my reservoirs. I love the report that my dealer sent into Ford. It says my shock has a hole corroded in them. He didn't even know they have reservoirs and were missing.
  16. Replacing Bilstein shocks on my 21 Wildtrak

    Turns out that Ford only has the old ones. The dealer ordered them and will replace under my extended warranty. Then they will replace again under recall. The service manager said he couldn't put Hoss 3.0 on my car since they are not a Ford part and would need to find a shop for that. I tried...
  17. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    Went to pick up my Wildtrak after an oil change today. They don't have the new Bilstein design available. They ordered the old ones and will replace under warranty and then replace again under the recall when the new design is available
  18. Recall: Rear Shock Absorber External Reservoir Corrosion (Safety Recall 25S01 - January 21, 2025)

    You just bounce up and down on the springs. Very scary at 65mph. I just dropped my 21 Wildtrak off at the dealer today. Ford said they would send him a pair of the new design for the recall to replace them. I am seeing if Ford will give me credit towards the Hoss 3.0 shocks
  19. Replacing Bilstein shocks on my 21 Wildtrak

    They called Ford and they said they would send the new version. So there must be some for cars with broken shocks
