What did you drive before your Bronco?
Remove
1982 Subaru Brat. It wasn’t just before, but it was before.
You mean like this. It's a 1978. I'd still have it but my daughter rolled it. Thank God for the roll bars, she had minor injuries.
I purchased my 1983 Bronco to run the sand on Cape Hatteras, NC. I put large fat tires on it and then let the air pressure down to about 10psi. I could run any sand out there. I still have the old girl and she now plows snow. BTW, the state of NC had air up stations all along the beach so you...
My Bronco already has the lane assistance and the all around cameras. Is it just a software change to add adaptive cruise control? My wife's car has it and we really like it.
Ok, here's a thought. I have the lane keeping system on my Bronco. I wonder if when I hit the ice it activated and tried to move me over. It sure felt like something was moving me around. Maybe it's best to turn that off in icy conditions.
I was not in cruise control and studded tires are illegal here. What I did was back off and turn into the slide and came out OK. If you hit the dry pavement sideways, then you're in trouble.
We were just in Minneapolis for our Grandson's 12th birthday and going and coming I hit patches of black ice under overpasses and on bridges. I was driving the speed limit but suddenly found myself turning sideways. I turned into the slide of course and got straightened out, but I have had four...
I just this afternoon installed a set of Weather Tech Mud Flaps on my 2023 Outer Banks. They fit like a glove and I am well satisfied.
Now as to drilling, they have three self tapping screws on the rear ones that are much easier to install if you drill a small pilot hole. The instructions say...
I took your advice about alcohol and micro fiber rags. That worked but what really helped was when I hit it with my heat gun just before I pressed them on. If one didn't adhere all the way I gave it some more heat and presto, it held. Thanks.
So I got the kit and it looks great, but, the two sided tape will absolutely not stick. I've tried swabbing the area with alcohol wipes and that didn't help. I took a heat gun and heated it all up. No use. I love how they look but I guess I'll have to replace all the two sided tape on my own.
I lived in Leesburg from 1968 to 1970 then I bought a house in Sugarland Run. The first house they sold in fact. I lived there until 1983. A few years back I wanted to show my wife my house and I couldn't find it. Everything has changed. I worked for the FAA in Leesburg.
Minneapolis/St. Paul all right. Only we seldom go there. We live about thirty miles south on one of those 10,000 lakes deep in the woods and right now it's 4 below zero.
I originally ordered the small engine but when it came in it had the 351 Cleveland and the dealer was a friend so he let me have it for the same price. In her day she was a nice rig to run the beaches with.
I see you live in the DC area. I lived Northern Virginia for 15 years working for the FAA and the 83 Bronco I purchased to run the beaches at Chincoteague and Cape Hatteras. I still have the big fat tires on it. I loved the DC area but family concerns caused me to leave.
Well, I wish I was south but my Wife still works so we won't go for a while yet. I also have to get the Bronco set up to tow. As an FAA Military Liaison I once rode a B52 Mission out of GSB. The AC Commander was named Kennedy.
I still have my 1983 Bronco which is pretty rusty but plows snow really well. I now own a 2023 Bronco Outer Banks pretty loaded up with options.
I'm 85 years old, a veteran, retired Air Traffic Control Supervisor and still tow with our Journey Diesel Pusher Motorhome.
I purchased this Bronco to...
