I already got all my Bronco farkles. The real deal is the set of head protectors for my BMW R1250RS:

OK, here's the deal. I have an OBX. Mall Crawler. FYYFF. I am also an old fart. Most of the time I keep it in Normal mode. My wife and I had to drive into Seattle yesterday to get some special pastry for some friends. We had a bit freezing rain ice storm the day before, but a warm front came in...

Right now my new Bronco is dripping in icicles, due to a freezing rain we had last night. It's warming up, and raining off and on. I'm hoping that it'll warm up enough so that I can drive my wife into Seattle so she can get some special Christmas pastry for some friends. It'll be an interesting...

It was getting time to replace my trusty old 2001 F-150. I decided on a Bronco. After watching tons of death-defying Bronco videos on YouTube, I considered what I wanted to do with my as yet unordered Bronco. Basically, same as with my F-150: driving to the store, the occasional road trip. I...

I'm in Washington State right now. It's been snowing over the past few days. Lots of snow in the mountains, only a couple inches or so where I live. The main roads are pretty well plowed and treated with de-icer. The snow gets deeper as you go north towards Bellingham, and less as you go south...

Lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you...

I ordered it on January 11, 2022. Order was confirmed on that same date. Sometime in June my Jeff Devenport, my Kendall Ford sales guy, recommended that I drop the modular bumper and towing capability to help speed the order along. I went for it. Ford sent me an email on October 1, 2022...

Did the deal yesterday with Jeff Davenport at Kendall Ford in Marysville. The paperwork took a long time, but everything went smoothly. They didn't charge me a nickel over MSRP. I decided to go for the extended warranty and maintenance agreement (all the service on my 2001 F-150 was done by the...

I believe that tires can make a lot of difference in traction on wet pavement. The standard tires that came on my 2001 F-150 had bad wet traction. We have this one stop sign on a hill in our town, and even though my truck has posi, there was always some tire spinning when leaving that...

1Five1 did a test on these steps: Bronco steps. Here's a link to the manufacturer: https://archetyperacing.com/products/ar-stirrup

Sorry about that. At least your Bronco killed that damn hoofed rat. There's always a bright side: four more and you're an ace! Seeya ATB

VERY cool! Some pals and I rode BMW GS motorcycles over the Magruder Corridor back in 2005. It was the last stage of the Nez Perce Rally put on by the Idaho BMW Club. That was a five-day ride, which led us over some amazing off-pavement roads, with each camping spot at a different hot spring. No...

I'm gonna hang in there. My current cage, a 2001 F-150 with a 5.4L gets about 14 mpg. The Bronco I've got on order, if it ever gets here, will be a step up! Plus, I've got my BMW S1000XR that gets 42 mpg! Keep on rockin' in a free world ATB

I called my Ford dealer on March 24th, and he sent me a printout from Ford. The printout was a large Excel spreadsheet. He couldn't simply send me a copy of the spreadsheet, but he pulled out a section and saved it as a .jpg and sent that to me. My Bronco is listed, but doesn't have a VIN or...

Here's what a nut clip looks like: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71lsY3pPVBL._SL1415_.jpg. I'm familiar with these things because they use 'em a lot on body panels on BMW motorcycles. They come in many sizes. Maybe your local Ford parts guy can help you figure out what size will work on...

I'm not gonna start ordering accessories until I actually get my Bronco, but one of the first things I plan to install is a set of Redline stainless steel hood struts. Do any of you folks who have already installed them have thoughts about the pros and cons of the standard length vs. the extra...

All of us who have investments are watching them drop due to the f**king Russkies. F**k the F**king F**ks. Maybe we should go with Wing Attack Plan R. I see two main possibilities here: 1) S**t happens. Six months from now the market is back up, in fact above what it was before all the s**t...
