I agree with most of these, done correctly bolted on sliders work well. Done incorrectly welded or bolted will fail. The All Pro Off Road sliders on my Tacoma are bolted onto the frame and they have performed being slammed down on and with hi-lift jack use. I will say that drilling the frame...

It's not starting very cheap either...

I had the same questions, the frameless doors are awesome but if I have 4 people in my rig having the back empty to stash the doors in doesn't seam likely. I have never had an issue as long as you go past where non off roaders can go, stash your stuff where it isn't noticeable from the trail...

That's what I have been looking at, I think the odds of blocking the rear view with cargo is high. A rear view dash cam solves that issues and adds a dash cam too!

Agreed, off road mileage has almost no relation to street driving. I got about 6 MPG with my E36 M3 on track days and ~24 of the highway if I was minding my manners. So by that ratio the Bronco will get ~60 MPG on the highway :ROFLMAO:

My 06 Tacoma has had legendary reliability despite the abuse I have given it. The temperature display panel burnt out and the resistor for the interior blow motor, that's it. I had a Fusion and 6X more things broke in 2 years than my Tacoma in 15 years. So I am a bit nervous, but Bronco is...

The article (part 2) states "The FordPass Performance App has over 2,000 curated trails that you can explore. Each trail has been mapped out by a survey team that actually traveled the route, noted obstacles, and set waypoints." They have to be buying/licensing that trail library as there is no...

The difficult trials I have driven don't look hard on video. Take this picture, it looks flat. In reality this is so steep all the seat belts were locked and you couldn't walk without scrambling with your hands. My drivers door was less than a fist width (the narrow way) from that stump (because...

I live in Seattle, it would be a homeless encampment/latrine shortly after I left with a soft top.

I use Gaia for my off road navigation, currently Gaia does not work with Android Auto even though Google is allowing 3rd party navigation apps. The other week I was off roading in our 4runner, it was ridiculous to be using my phone screen while there is a built in screen that could be used. If...

I was thinking if it was mounted inside and behind the part of the rear window that the wiper clears might be a solution.

I am thinking about adding a rear view mirror camera so I don't have to worry about blocking the view. Doug Demuro says he like the one on his Defended, but I can see how you would lose the ability to move your head to see different areas behind you (like my kids fighting in the back seat...).

I think it depends on what your goals are, the KOH Broncos are factory owned and what happens to the motors at 50-100K miles is of no concern. Same goes for race motors that have very short to no break in, but they live a vary different life and die of different reasons. For me its easy to...

Here are my pics from the Filson reveal on an overcast Seattle day. I really like the A51 in that light. I have not liked the pics in the full sun but I have not seen it in person.

Great point, with the uptake rate on the Lux package the aftermarket will need to design a bumper that allows the adaptive cruise control and distance sensors to be retained. With some clever packaging and a remote mounted solenoid I am betting someone will come out with a reasonable option...

In my research and talking to those who had the system in the Explorer it functions well in rain, snow or any reduced traction conditions. From what I can tell It is not as good as an all wheel drive system with a torsen center diff but comes quite close without the cost and weight of that...

There are lots of resources online that discuss driveline windup and the issues it can cause. On wet pavement it is not going to break things but the forces are still there. http://www.4x4abc.com/4WD101/axle-wind-up.html

you absolutely can, its just a nice convenience to have a mode that controls that automatically.

I effing love the sliders on my Tacoma being that its a fat trail pig that feels like it has a 500" wheelbase... Very early on I am going to add frame mounted sliders that are stronger ad that stick out further to provide some margin when your against a tree/rock and leaning over.

Given that they have not had access to the truck its hard to criticize but... Even with Sas I would not want it that wide as it can get caught when your trying to back out of a tight spot and give it another try. I would want the bumper to be either flush with the bodywork of just outside it...
