Well, I'll talk to the teams at KOH about this and see what their experience is. The three factory Broncos were already built and given to the three teams, although with quite a bit of input from them. These new three are totally built by the teams themselves, so we should be able to learn more...

We did that trip in May year before last. Great trip. We also went to Mesa Verde NP and to Durango CO. We took five weeks.

Exactly where we mounted my Air Force One control box.

Ultra4 4600 Stock class is still pretty highly modified, just some very restrictive rules to make it a very limited class. Some of the main rules are the body sheet metal cannot be cut, except for tire clearance around the wheel wells. the frame cannot be cut or modified at all, though can be...

A double ended ram has proven to work very well in a hydro assist situation, just like a single ended ram. This has been done successfully on straight axle vehicles, so while still rare it is a proven concept. The steering gear isn't just here to meet the rules, it is there to provide more...

Here's a couple pics of 2 of the builds stripped down. Looks like they are planning to run without the hardtops. No Ford sponsorship to be concerned with, and so how they look.

Here are a few pics of how 4600 team Kraker Fab Motorsports has dealt with making a stronger steering system. Josh Atteberry and his Kraker Fab Motorsports team replaced the rack with a double ended hydraulic ram that is mechanically connected to a steering gear box. Pretty unique idea. The 3...

If you want to drive to Bronco Knoll I'd love to go along. Couldn't do it during contingency days, I'll be working my ass off for those 3 days. But, look me up at the Tech Tent if we could work it out. BTW, do you know yet what day the new car will get tech? Looking forward to seeing it.

Here are a few pics of the other 3 teams building Broncos for 4600 class this year. Really looking forward to see how these guys do. And, I'm looking forward to teching these cars and getting a good look at them. Since no factory sponsorship of these teams and builds, looks like they are...

Another great story. We got a Jeep off the trail one time that blew the clutch. We kept adjusting the clutch out and jamming duct take up between the flywheel and pressure plate. Had to start in gear, but he drove out. I broke a steering gear sector shaft once, on Fordyce trail. It was a three...

I understand your comment, but I'll disagree. I'd rather catch a rock, and maybe roll it over to move it, but at least be able to jiggle and reposition, than have full steel for a huge area and get turtled and not be able to move. I've always preferred to take my chances with air. I've always...

Looking at both the ASFIR and the Mabett skid plates, think I'm going to go with the ASFIR. My biggest concern is ground clearance, which is the Achiles heel of the new Bronco, so don't want anything to decrease ground clearance. The trans skid needs a lip on the sides for strength, but the...

Not sure, but isn't Badlands the only one with full skid plates? Except for the trans. When I saw that plastic trans pan I thought....well, that could be an accident waiting to happen. This story is a good reminder to get that plastic pan handled somehow. I've been on Medicare for quite a few...

I originally ordered white, but then changed to CO, and I'm very glad I did. I really like the CO.

Yep, in the Jeep I switched with the engine running and verified it was in neutral. Now we have to trust the lights going out on the selector dial. I've been on a few trips with it, actually on one now, and no issues. A friend of mine lost the trans flat towing a new Ranger, and had a heck of a...

So what was the assessment on what caused the damage? What are the dealership personel saying caused the water to be in the intake?

Were you on Bluetooth or plugged in?

I'm still a bit nervous about Neutral Tow Mode.....why I almost didn't get the Bronco. No worries with my XJ.

All guess work on what could have happened. This is why I almost didn't get the Bronco, because of not trusting all of the electronic and solenoid controlled shifting of the transfer case. It's possible that the front got bound up somewhere, and in the process did damage to the t-case. However...

Sorry, I don't think this is an accurate statement. Sure, modifications are not covered under factory warranty, and one modified part can void the warranty on an adjoining part in some situations. However, I do not think that there is a general trend for warranty to be not applicable to off road...
