Oh I hear ya, still we wouldn't dream of telling people they can't drive (the thought is literally unimaginable to me), weather be damned. We get pretty nasty weather in this state, not much stops us. May slow you down a bit though 🤷
Stay safe!
I've had a lot of different lighting setups, driven a lot of higher end vehicles with LEDs and HIDs. I'm very happy with my sig lights, Factory fogs and rigid 360s when I need longer range.
But what do I know I just live in a place with 4 hours of sunlight in December.
I found the fender flares on here for sale, they came off a Velocity Blue Bronco. Shipping was killer though.
The mud flaps are just universal flaps you can find at auto zone, Napa, O'Reillys..ect and just screwed to the bumper in the rear, fronts are connected to the fender flares, running...
A few contributing factors, but 8k a year on my main daily driver is typical for me. I have (2) F150s, an Excursion, Chrysler 300c awd and a number of classic cars to drive so my miles are spread between them all. If I add it all up I probably did 14k this year.
My work commute is 1.5 miles...
I expected a few teething issues on a brand new platform, rolled out during a global pandemic. In a vehicle aimed at being more utilitarian than anything Ford has put out in decades. Those that didn't, well that's on them.
I really like the MIC top, little electrical tape over the alignment...
It was 1 year ago today that I took delivery of my 4dr, 2.7, Outerbanks Sasquatch, Lux, MIC, Tow, Roast Leather. My Bronco was built 7/23/21 and sat on dirt mountain awaiting a new hard top. It shipped and arrived in Alaska about 28 days from MAP.
I have not off roaded my Bronco, other than...
I know I'll never understand why AKDOT decided to do that crap.
I'm in Anchorage, DOT uses a little deicer on state roads mostly only the Seward and Glenn but the municipality doesn't, just gravel/sand. I don't leave Anchorage so I have 20+ year old trucks with no rust that don't leave the...

I'm on my second season of my studded Nokian Hakkapeliittas, I run a mix of studs and studless tires on my vehicles blizzaks on 2, Nokian studded on the Bronco, Hankook studded on my plow truck and studded cooper's on my Excursion. I live in Alaska and we don't salt, so winter means icy roads...
I'm a truck guy, so to me it's an improvement in MPG, it's very comfortable.
I also can't exactly put into words, but almost a year later and 7500 miles I still can't stop smiling when I'm driving my Bronco. This summer with the top off was an absolute BLAST. It's so much fun in the snow too...
At almost a year it's pretty much second nature to turn it off when I put it in gear. Sometimes I'll forget, get to a light and yell God damnit and turn it off lmao mostly after driving my other vehicles as my Bronco is the only thing I own with it.
I should get the eliminator...
Delivery 11/12/21 and 7,431 miles tonight. Horn cover replaced due to crack. Drivers side valve cover leaking oil on the exhaust, fixed. Otherwise good.
