  1. Bronco Towing: Is flat towing better than dolly or trailer??

    Can’t dolly tow (2 wheels on dolly trailer, 2 wheels on ground). Under TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE section of owner’s manual is the following text: ā€œAll-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles require that all wheels be off the ground using a wheel lift and dollies or flatbed equipment. This prevents...
  2. Need a camp chair that is no more than 3.75" thick when packed....does it exist?

    Here’s what is always in my Bronco. No it is not a great big comfy chair but it is sufficient. Price can’t be beat; buy a couple and try them. Quick measurement at the thickest part - the center ring - is just under 3ā€. The rest is fabric & poles which one can pack neatly enough to fit I...
  3. 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ prototype world premiere

    Not available in America. Or even Europe.
  4. Tire questions.. Big Bend National Park

    Have driven it all, including Black Gap, in stock trucks with OEM tires at highway PSI for years. You’ll be fine.
  5. Flat towing vehicles with a bronco

    Your roommate is not mental, heā€˜s just lacking complete knowledge. Tow capacity is about way more than weight pressing down on the hitch. It is about starting, stopping (including emergency braking!), cooling, and control. Non-Raptor max tow is 3500 lbs. Believe it. His XJ is at least 4,000...
  6. Anyone offroading with an extended hitch?

    Looking at that unit on etrailer website - there is NO WAY I’d install some permanently sticking out like that. Not only dragging off road, but also busting my legs against it. Get a standard receiver, get a moderate length extension, and get an anti-rattle unit (they really work well).
  7. Auto High Beam

    You can still do manual high beams.
  8. Cooked Plugs 30k

    I don’t see a problem. Black from carbon, yes, which is common for a turbo engine (especially tuned to keep combustion temps down for emissions of oxides). Tips are solid and gap is consistent.
  9. How many (pavement) miles do the stock 29" tires typically last for?

    @Leilani FYI the BB w OEM A/T tires (225/75R17) are 32ā€, not 29ā€ as in the subject line. That will definitely make a difference in marketing your product, no matter where you sell them.
  10. Any flat tow failures with a part time transfer case?

    @Fordified1 THANK YOU! Just read the irv2 thread you posted. This has kept me awake at night wondering what might be wrong and how could I possibly find the root cause. I’ve towed my 4A Bronco thousands of miles and never had a failure - also changed out fluids and they looked great. This...
  11. Any flat tow failures with a part time transfer case?

    You can give them all night if you want. First drive, even the next day, smells hot.
  12. Any flat tow failures with a part time transfer case?

    Ditto. You’re the first person I’ve heard say this. I changed my transfer case fluid and it looked pretty. FYI we’ve flat towed nearly 8,000 miles combined.
  13. Recs for Aluminum Skids?

    RCI. BTW they also work with Roadmaster flat towing brackets if necessary.
  14. Door entry code

    When I’m out hunting in the woods, my hunting buddies know my code and where to find a backup key in case anyone needs to drive the vehicle in an emergency and I’m not conscious or my key is lost.
  15. Door entry code

    @Valhalla War Machine you’re absolutely right! Thieves are smarter than me (Iā€˜ve worked for years in computer security - the threat is real.). I don’t question your use case at all. We have used such keypads for 20+ years and there are many great scenarios where they are great! You might...
  16. Does Insurance Cover Silver Lake Dunes

    If your lawyer can prove that you were on a maintained, recognized road (he’ll probably use published maps) then you might win your case. Maybe. But then, what kind of damage do you expect to happen when you are on a well maintained road? (FYI SF is on a non-renewal binge for the least little...
  17. Door entry code

    I’m sorry but I usually have a policy against chasing ghosts like this. But tonight I feel like playing your game. 1. RTFM 2. Google how to change the battery. 3. Use the phone app. 4. Go to the dealer. Note that I’m not inclined to give cheat codes to thieves.
  18. FordPass Phone as a Key

    I reckon they are referring to using it as the round key. šŸ˜‚
