  1. Capable Bumper question here, concerning its fog lights

    That's a gorgeous machine! Michigan vehicle code "257.696 Spot lamps; fog lamps (b) A motor vehicle may be equipped with not more than 2 fog lamps mounted on the front at a height of not less than 12 inches nor more than 30 inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands, which...
  2. Capable Bumper question here, concerning its fog lights

    Not to be a debby downer, but here in AZ, the vehicle code section 28-947 (B) states " Lights visible from the front of a vehicle shall be amber or white." Perhaps if you keep them covered at all times except when you're off-road away from any law-enforcement vehicles, you might be able to get...
  3. Full color change: Tiffany paint on retro Bronco build by Doetsch Offroad

    Oh my. Hope I can attend, whether I have my Bronco or not :D (I have a Tahoe, may have to park around the corner and sneak in...)
  4. Full color change: Tiffany paint on retro Bronco build by Doetsch Offroad

    And, I now see they're right across the street from SanTan Brewing, so I know the neighborhood.
  5. Full color change: Tiffany paint on retro Bronco build by Doetsch Offroad

    When I read the title in the "Yesterday's Most Popular New Topics" summary email, I came in thinking this was some silly custom paint job. When I saw the photos, OMG I like it. Seems like a modern update on a classic scheme, and done really well. Kudos! I live over on the west side of Piestewa...
  6. GMRS Setups

    @Tye To remote the mic itself, that will take a bit of DIYing, but it can be done, like @HotdogThud suggests. Most/all(?) hand mics have electret microphone units inside. Needs power from the radio to make them work. If you're skilled with soldering and hacking, you can get your hands on an...
  7. Mexican blanket interior / dash

    Going for the Cheech and Chong look?
  8. TrailRax Badlands Bronco Build

    i use 8 ga wire for my interconnects. 40 A fuses, except for the 50 A breaker that came with the Hellroaring. The charge controller is a simple MPPT. Nothing fancy. An MPPT is kinda overkill, not that much efficiency difference, but I’m just that way:) The other box in the picture is an attempt...
  9. 🍺😯 "Hold my Beer" Bronco Shots

    Crap. I hate when that happens. Looks mostly like damage to pride :rolleyes:
  10. TrailRax Badlands Bronco Build

    A note on LiFePO4 as the second battery. A very positive note. I am waiting to order my Bronco, so this experience is in my 2009 Chevy Tahoe. Other than that, it should be comparable to what happens in a Bronco. I have the "towing option" for my Tahoe, there's space for a second type 24...
  11. Train carrying new Fords derails in Arizona

    Wow. I know that house, haven't been in it, but it's so close to the tracks. Bet if someone was home (and it looks like there was) they had quite a terrifying show right outside their windows. That train was likely westbound, and was approaching West Williams Jct, where the Phoenix subdivision...
  12. Our Bronco club adopted a trail up in the mountains - first trip to clean the trail and campsites..

    First, kudos on helping to haul out all the crap that others leave behind. It'd be great if that ethic existed in more people! What is the "National Forestry Service"? When I read that, I thought maybe it was some other country. :) It's the US Forest Service, or USFS. Cheers Jon
  13. ADV vs OEM Hardtop Comparison

    Agree completely with the poor choice of honeycomb for the OEM top. Sure, honeycomb has its advantages, but in a product that will encounter a huge amount of stress and repeated handling, Ford should have gone with an inner core material that has the desired stiffness w/o the significant...
  14. Midland MXT575 GMRS 2-Way Radio Install & Photos *SWR Report*

    I'm a licensed ham as well, and use VHF APRS mobile, but would love to have HF ops occasionally. I'd be interested in hearing what you might be doing that way. Cheers and 73 - Jon N7UV

    Hopefully in order to gain some street creds, I'm posting a pic of my Tahoe, just last June, on the Dollhouse trail in Canyonlands. Yeah, I carry 6' ramps, just in case.
  16. Is your Bronco the most expensive vehicle you’ve bought?

    Mebbe. When I get my hands on one. My current most expensive was my ‘93 suburban at $34k, which is around $75k in 2023 dollars. What a beast she was.
  17. New member Jon from PHX

    Hi Mark - Embarrassingly, I haven't even placed an order. I have a thing about actually sitting in a representative vehicle and maybe even being able to drive it :rolleyes: Prolly not gonna happen... The Tahoe has new tires, a new used tranny, and all new front control arms and such. So I'm...
  18. New member Jon from PHX

    Hi y'all - I'm Jon, am not yet a Bronco owner, have a few good miles left on my 2009 Tahoe, have taken it some fairly heinous places, and have never even been in a Bronco. Sad story, to be sure. I'm into canyoneering, hiking, mountain biking, peakbagging, and amateur radio. I'm an electrical...
