Fairbanks, AK here and got to -36F on the thermometer, although the UAF sign I drove by read -40. I learned on that drive that college kids really like dressing down and taking pictures in front of that sign… I was NOT expecting that on a -40 day.
Got it from a company called "twisted shifterz". I saw someone on IG with the knob on their bronco and knew I had to have tone too, haha. https://www.twistedshifterz.com/search?q=bronco
Oh I made that! It's paracord knotted around the wheel.
My memory is a bit hazy, but I think I followed this video:
I used the "goldenrod" paracord color from this page, it seemed to match up pretty well with Cyber Orange. Lots of colors to choose from...
I really wanted a 2dr manual and advanced transfer case and orange paint. That landed me on at least BD (for 21MY), and so I was planning on BD/man/adv TC/mid/CO. When ‘22 order sheets released and I realized I could at least get the paint scheme I wanted with base… I opted for that trim level...
I got one of these too! I’ll add a few pics of the lockout, color, size comparison vs stock. I like this knob… it offers a nice bit of flare and gets me that much closer to a 100% yellow, er, orange, bronco…
I traded my T4R for the bronc earlier this year -- no going back for me! I thought the 4Runner was a splendid rig with great on-road manners, at least compared to other things I'd driven, but I wanted the things that the Ford had that the Toyota didn't... and the white SR5 I had didn't seem as...
Same here, thanks to inspiration from this post - good looking mod! This is my version, I used a NOCO branded extension with a built-in receptacle. Wiring at the stock plug is kind of nasty looking but it seems I've achieved my goal of having it not move around much.
What a road trip! I'm looking forward to dusting off my KLR and exploring come next summer. I'd really like to get up to the northernmost bits of AK at some point, it seems like it would be an awesome MC trip, barring mosquitoes :) those pics make me miss my Ninja 1000, that was an awesome sport...
Our speed was more or less all over the place. We had a few stretches of what I'd call real highway (I-90 or I-5 like driving) but a lot of the stretches we rode were 2-lane, and the last several hundred miles were extremely rough and variable (Al-Can highway). Trying not to outrun the U-haul...
Will do! Now that winter is officially here I'm going to see what the thing can do in extreme cold :D at the very least I'm excited to get a photo of my thermometer when it's -40 out... not something I've experienced before!
I committed sacrilege and adapted some of my 4Runner’s old wheels to the bronc for winter (they already had snow tires mounted to them, so this was the laziest/cheapest thing I could do for my winter setup). Had to get some 106 to 93mm hub adaptor thingies from Amazon. The wheels definitely have...
I've experienced the lurching a few times now too. It has only happened when I'm accelerating in 2nd while the car is still warming up. Seems like power drops for a second, RPMs drop and power picks up again, over and over. I've had to push the clutch in to get it out of the funk, if I don't it...
Did 2500 miles back in late August. I don't know about your bronco, but the infotainment screen on mine will freak out if I run it for more than about 3 hours with CarPlay When doing my trip I didn't want to mess around with running navigation on the infotainment screen & dealing with that...
Aww, shucks. Thanks for the heads-up! I ended up going with some from Greenlane off-road. I’ll have to go over and check to metaltech site to see what I’m missing 😢
My thoughts on 5 vs 4 (doing the rotation in my driveway).... 5 is MUCH easier to accomplish (on my own) because I only have to have to jack one corner of the vehicle at a time. I absolutely hate doing a four tire rotation because I have to have two tires off the car as I'm moving things around...
Yeah, we had a heck of a time! I only wish I had more days off work to get more out of the journey, I’m sure there were a ton of sights to see that I missed! Did you drive the route that goes through Banff?
