Exploring the Marquette, MI area. Nice drive and hike today!

Checking in from Marquette, MI.

Detroit to Marquette for the weekend. Nine hours through overlapping winter weather advisories. 4Hi and cruising at 60mph all the way up. Was concerned about the Falken Wildpeak MT on the packed snow and ice but they eat it up! Headed out for more driving/sightseeing tomorrow. More pics coming.

In tan please! Quick! Before this MIC top gives out!!!

Same. When we take the 4Runner out of town, I drive. Every time, I’m saying to my wife “wow, you really have to plan ahead to pass on the freeway.” in Sport mode, my bronco will almost lurch itself forward. Egging me on to make the pass. 🤣

My ‘23 4Runner has the tried and true 4.0L V6. No turbo, so I’m not saying the performance even matches my Bronco’s 2.3L. But the powertrain/drivetrain and overall reliability of the 5G ‘runner are well documented and it would be hard to make the case that ford has matched that with any of their...

😂 This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a statement like this on Bronco6G forum. It never stops being funny or baffling. If the Wrangler and Bronco aren’t direct rivals, I don’t know what is… I have a ‘23 4Runner, purchased last year anticipating the new generation wouldn’t be as...

Yes. The 255/85r16 is the largest diameter (33.1”) tire I could find in a 16” wheel size. The width of these tires is 10”. Not sure where you’re getting 9.5” but if you’re adamant on a 9.5” width, I think the largest diameter you can find is 31.7” (235/85r16). So, thats like a Black Diamond...

25k miles on Falken MT 255/85r16. Mud, dunes, off road parks, forest service roads, mountain passes, horrible potholed streets, ice/snow, cross country road trips (Detroit>Seattle>Detroit). No regrets. Might switch to some 17” takeoff wheels when this set of tires is spent, because corrosion on...

We had a great time. 10 National Parks on the way there and back. Olympic was one of the highlights. Beautiful country.

Fun stuff! Was there in August and it was tricky finding trails, but we can’t wait to get back. Long haul from Detroit, though. 😅

Appreciate this thread! I agree that this rack looks the best of all options. It can be hard to find info on the Zroadz rack, especially for 2 doors. Are you able to remove your roof panels while the rack is installed? And, any signs of stress (cracking, waves, etc) on the hard top mounting...

What kind of rainfall necessitates anything beyond 2H? Not trying to throw shade, but unless that rain is freezing or falling on muddy roads, 4H is pointless. If you think you need a 4x4 for rain on paved streets, the Bronco Sport was probably a better choice.

Bro flaps - still going strong after several off road excursions where I’m sure they got folded, pinched and pulled. Bartact grab handles/Rhino RB-20 slimline steps -Grouping together because it is essential to have steps and handles in a two door if you regularly haul rear seat passengers...

If you’re going cheap, the Hella 500 LED pair I installed (with added amber covers) work well for my needs - better snow, fog, rain visibility and for spotting critters that want to leave the ditch and taste some bumper.

Interesting. Did you have any frame horn reinforcements installed prior to the winch mount failure?

👆 👏 👏 👏 Mountain pass in the North Cascades this past summer. Never thought once about needing a rear locker on that journey but I was regularly thinking “what did I get myself into, here…?” 🤣

From the Great Lakes region here. Rain weekly (at least) and snow/ice for a couple months in the winter. I have a Base non-sas w/ the 2.3/Auto combo you have. Mud terrain tires, no winter service rating. I gotta say, it’s hard to imagine spinning out on wet roads with this thing. Hydroplaning...

Yep. Three weeks to Seattle and back from Detroit. Wife and two kids. No regrets on our 2 door Bronco. I also play in a band and can easily get all my guitars, amps, etc. in there. Wouldn’t be confident parking with all that $$$ gear in there if I had a soft top. It helps to have a 4Runner...

Nope. You just own a Bronco. 😆
