Another day in the Pacific Northwest, another rutted National Forest Road To the trailhead of Kelcemalk Lake, NF-4052. And airing up in the rain. sigh.... But, was one of those days when I was the only one in the area :) and didn't really need to use turnouts to stop and take a break. Off...

The best of luck to you! I too give room (3 seconds) ahead, back off from gravel trucks, and abhor tailgaters (what the heck is with that type of driving aggression?) My first chip came when no car/truck/bicycle/grasshopper was within 1/2 mile ahead of me. I think I fell prey to the Bronco...

Odd one -- after a 70mph interstate drive up to a mountain pass ski place a month ago, the engine compartment smelled like burning wood! I keep a pretty clean undercarriage with no vegetation buildup. After parking, I had to check under the hood about 3 times before the smell went away and I...

You will find no serious Jeep bashing from me. 'was 49 percent gonna buy one instead of the Bronco. In fact, this is me (a few years ago) coming up the backside of Moab (total street stock config) from the White Rim Trail during a 6-week "overlanding" trip around the western US. This XJ was...

That was me too! I ordered the roof rack and couldn't find too much trustworthy info on that height dimension. I had a tape, and visited the dealership twice measuring and adjusted the garage door to open the last 1/2 inch of travel. Whew.....1.5 inches of clearance. Wasn't 10000% sure...

you got it! It looks like a spacer resting against the flat metal bracket of the roof panel hold down assy, keeping the plastic cover held in-line at the correct distance for the metal push clips to snap and stay snug. There's one on the RH side, I could feel it with my finger down there...

Hollow, like a rectangular coil. It is really bonded onto the inside cover surface. Maybe it is some weird ass part they had on hand to press against something to keep rattle down..... ? shoot, now I have to go look closer at the latch (yes, I still have the cover removed :sadface:)

You gained more experience and skill growth! Good job saving the situation. :thumbsup:

Tango, my plumbing apprentice, yowls (tells me) that it is either an earthquake shaking stuff up, or a valve that has something stuck in it. Or,....about 3 other things. A fairly simple job to replace the float and valve system. But to get this thread back on track: I did stop and move...

Hahah, uhm.... I was replacing it per my better 7/8's request. (wife) This plumbing apprentice is now up to taking care of a float/valve replacement.

Seriously; I am curious what this is and am hoping someone knows. My thought is inventory tracking from the vendor or factory. 'gotta stay curious! :unsure:

Yeah, this thread is getting weird.

I'm trying out a new, inexpensive stacking modular system. It can also be used as firewood in an emergency 🔥. I usually tie them down from the bottom when in use and not being stored in the garage.

Found this odd thing on the inside of my driver's side roof panel main latch cover. Non-magnetic, 'looks like a rheostat but is made up of material more like an RFI anti-theft thing on a package of meat at the grocery store. It's got that hash mark like the OEM spare tires (which we are not to...

:unsure: I guess I'm used to watching non-subscribed youtube videos...unable to fast forward. thanks!

Here, you'll find: NOTHING "EPIC"! NO "JAW-DROPPING" VIEWS! NO INFLUENCING! Just a little drive up in the mountains, off Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie again, and tooling around some recent and future logging roads. A lesson I've learned: taking a turnoff from a newly graded road through a...

Hahahah! I've only met 3 pugs in my life, each, I have to say, smarter and friendlier than those e-wok things. :) Those e-wok weirdos in their zip-up skins and bug-eyes make me uncomfortable. It's the intro commercial of this video I can't get past to watch this... maybe I'll start to play...

OP, you're starting to worry me (easy to do for me when odd engine sounds are involved) :sadface:: my 2.3 has started to mis a bit when cold. I thought it was just some funky gas I got at an old place in a tourist town, but this was 4 tank-ups ago with my Costco usual. thanks for sharing your...

Ah, I have to admit my not using any Plus sockets on external fasteners in my Bronco yet, just the bits. I think the external head in the OP photo just struck me as a Plus… tool clearances and the internal Torx “star” tips not being there. ‘hearing too many bad results of mechanics insisting...

This kinda looks like a toy down there, but just next to some very tall trees. West of Snoqualmie summit on *trashy forest roads. After being off-road on washboard and some rocky side trails, I 'tooled my way on pavement a short distance to an empty state park to air up. The 2-door lets me...
