It's true that there are no free lunches. But, my instincts are that if you remain on loose surfaces the risks of using Baja mode should be fairly low. Caveat; racing and driving like you're racing is always hard on a vehicle no matter what mode you're in. Jumping in particular is going to be...

It does not, you need to order the High or Lux package to get all of the sensors, the type of bumper is irrelevant. I could be mistaken, but, I believe you can have a dealer order the mirror caps and door handles as service parts.

21 Wildtrak has body color mirror caps and handles. They changed that for 22 didn't they?

With leather, never get in the car hot wearing shorts.

This guy is like Jeremy Clarkson in a Reliant Robin.

Well, that would be better than a tarted up Tahoe. :ROFLMAO:

Fair bet he shows up on B6G someday complaining that Ford won't warrant his engine that blew up due to overheating. :ROFLMAO:

I didn't see a mention of which package you got in the Baddie. There's a pretty good difference between mid and high in terms of tech features. 12" screen is nice to have. The advanced 4wd features are very cool. Most of the SAS and Hoss stuff can functionally be added in the aftermarket, I...

2 door AMB Wildtrak, rare breed indeed, driven with a purpose. Way to go Cuz. 👍

To expand here, these kinds of lightweight garage doors offer only a fraction of the pressure strength of the stud walls. Being the weakest element in the garage they will act like a blast panel and relieve the pressure. There are two major hazards with this beyond the obvious. The first is of...

There is quite naturally going to a clunk after a break.

It's actually not that bad. 80mph with the top on and we could hold a normal voice conversation. Of course that's with nothing on the rack. I'm certain dragging lights and boxes through the air increases noise. Top off the increase in noise is significant.

I use normal mode for rocks in the Wildtrak. The throttle and steering seem to be right about where I want them. Add lockers as needed. (Manually disconnect the swaybar and there's a lot less need for lockers) The main thing I've noticed with rocks is that you need to two foot it while...

At the same time it potentially halves the line length.

Funny thing is that the math is shockingly simple on the forces involved. The engineering not so much. For the record, there are reasons why I have been urging OP to exercise caution. There are a number of failure modes here. It's fine to start small and perform some testing to work through...

Three hour solo bike ride gave me a bit of time to think. If you sandwich the main plate between the winch mounting boss and a reinforcement plate you would have a double shear join. There's a 10-15% increase in effective bolt strength. It also adds some redundancy strength. There was a fatal...

I really think you're close to something interesting here. Patent it quickly or I might. :ROFLMAO: Here's the thing about those forces, the moment that line goes tight it makes no difference where it occurs in space. These forces act in the direction of the winch lines. Plastic is for all...

OK, I'm just spitballing from the pictures, so you should certainly check the veracity of my recommendations. You want the box to be in no way involved in the load bearing structure. So, cut out the area of the box the size of the mounting boss of the winch. Now the winch is directly on the...

That is incorrect. There should be a way to mount the box without having it between the load cases.

I had the same concern, so I looked it up. Assuming these are M8-1.25 fine thread, and grade 8 or above, the proof load shear capacity is about 7000# each. Total capacity of 28K# again, assuming equal distribution of the force. Theoretically that winch should fail first. It's really weird, they...
