I attended one at the RAM Off-Road Park in Colorado Springs a week ago. It was short and technical, but if you had already spent ten hours at an off-roadeo event (like I did in Moab) you would be very comfortable driving it without guidance.
The main difference was that they tried to fit people...
That ice is called "graupel," and it's very common at high altitudes here in Colorado. You can get graupeled on any month of the year. Looks like you had a good time up there! Ouray and Telluride are stunning areas no matter how you visit them.
Enjoyed the video, especially since I have an...
Broncy McBroncer Face.
To make up for being cheated out of Rocky McRocker Face, even though that was the clear winning choice for what is now Memorial Rock.
What you're describing is exactly how the guides at the Moab Off-Roadeo instructed us to use Trail Control. I believe one-pedal driving is a bit different, but I have never used it.
Actually, the owner's guide explains the differences. Start on page 207 (211 in the left pane, 207 on the page)...
That's been my experience with most Colorado Ford dealerships, and I've spoken with a LOT of them (before going with Granger).
I have been getting calls from Castle Rock Ford lately (that's what I get for surfing cars.com and cargurus.com), and the guy (John?) is actually very knowledgable. I...
Agree. The allocation disaster left me furious, frustrated, and ready to give up. Many of us are in that same boat right now and wondering if and when Ford (not the Ford social media marketing person who posts in this forum, but the Ford CxOs who make all the decisions) will do the right thing...
So, 1" level no lift? This looks really good. Wish Ford offered that wheel/tire combo because it makes a HUGE difference in the OBX's appearance.
I'm probably going the same route with my 2-door. As for the ponies and Bronco script badge: gotta go with chrome!
Last week in Moab, driving a Basesquatch, I was in 2H on the road, 4L on dirt and rock most of the day (engaging lockers as needed), and when I wanted to speed up, the guide instructed me to put in it 4H, then GOAT mode Sand, and turn off the rear locker (which turned on automatically in Sand...
Yup, they were all 2.7s! Feel free to steal the photo and tell people that was you driving. No one would ever know, and the photographer wouldn't mind.
It is a great build.
That doesn't include the cost of the tires, does it?
Also, this looks fantastic. Definitely steeling your tire and wheel modifications (when I get my Bronco).
I'll ping you next year when/if I get my Bronco. Waiting on a VIN and build date. There are a bunch of us waiting, and a dozen or so in the process of getting theirs right now.
Just one, from Moab a couple of days ago. My buddy took this shot of me descending the last obstacle in a 2-door VB Basesquatch.
I like all the other photos...not sure which is my favorite. Will have to look again.
Thanks. Those guides sure earn their money! What a terrific group of guys. This was my first time on truly technical terrain, and they made me believe I could do it - and I did!
