My guess is Ford didn't test them to get the rated. Did the hooks you purchased provide any information on the bolts or other mounting needed to support the published rating? I really like the frame reinforcement support that Lobo Offroad has in some of their parts for the Bronco like their...

I think it depends on what you consider recovery. I don't think there are enough strong fasteners used with them to withstand a dynamic recovery. If you were going to just pull on that hook with constant pressure, it should stay together if the bronco weight is mobile and not pulling up a steep...

The person I talked to when scheduling a mobile service recall said that Ford was funding the mobile service. That the dealer received money for each service call that essentially paid for the costs of providing the service.

I saw that video. What I noticed: #1 - They tried to keep the rock on the hoop. #2 - That rock was loose; most you run into on the trail will not push out of the way. #3 - The slider deformed under the stress of that point load of the rock on the slider. They got closer to the body. Here is...

A question. I see in photos they do have steel on top of the aluminum in a few places to reinforce things. I would love if you report over time how that area takes impacts. Depending on your wheel base and the obstacle, the vehicle can drop down onto those skids, not just slide over things...

I'm looking at the wide variety of rock sliders available out there for the Bronco, and based on my experience so far, I really wonder if some of them are effective. In my region, much of the rocks I experience are stones or boulders that might be big, but also might be just small enough to get...

It's probably a JIS tapered pipe. Take it to the hardware store and see if you can get an adapter. The coupler style looks like a non standard coupler for the US market as well. JIS tapered pipe is also very odd.

Took the grandkids to their last day of school with the roof and doors off

Alright and update on the Tac steps. Last year I was offroading and landed on a rock that squished the tube a bit. This past weekend I was offroad again and ended up getting into rocks and a big tree, and the steps were hung up. Here is the results. For the price they've been perfect, but if I...

Not that easy by yourself unless you have the door bags. Just be patient and take care.

This past weekend up at the Iron Range Offroad Recreational Area in Minnesota. A tree and some rocks made no more mudflaps and my nerf bars are simply in the way. I need some serious rock sliders if I plan to try those rocks again. Steepest elevation change was 28 degrees. Got hung up on the...

With a CO2 system, other than taking off the valve stem cap and putting it back on, it takes about 30 seconds per tire to go from 12psi to 35psi on the sasquatch tires.

2024 MN Season starts this week. From last year

Looks good. What air pressure were you at? The tires look pretty firm and with the right tires the Bronco should just walk up that.

In the future I recommend airing down to at least 15psi. Sounds like you have CO2 so no big deal airing all the way back up to 38. At 20psi, it's still going to be a lot more rough than it will at 15 or even 12. I did some research last year and here is the thread with some valuable data...

One place where I have gone is about 10 miles from a gas station. At that offroad park I arrived with 3/4 of tank of fuel. I spent about 3 hours driving around, over obstacles, around obstacles, and just generally had fun. No high speed runs. My odometer showed I went 8 miles at that place...

No message ever on a Base manual. My guess is that this is part of the lanekeeping, so you need whatever version comes with the lane-keeping.

Same here. I haven't had a vehicle I logged regularly since 2006 but 2004-2006 I built up a motor and power system that more than doubled the factory hp and torque and I watched it closely. In fact, that's how I knew I needed more fuel and had planned a new fuel system, but life got in the...

True, but E85 at the pump is not something that you can always expect to be the same octane. that's my point. without being aware of the AFR or lambda, you really don't know how safe the tune is for a given load. It also takes a lot more e85 to make that power than straight gasoline. Thus...

Hmm, ok, you really should know that. Most Dyno graphs I've worked with have that tracked below the main graph because it's important. Unless you are buying E85 in 5 or 55 gallon drums, the pump stuff can vary wildly in energy content throughout a year. Also E85 generally requires more fuel...
