Michigan highway 26 shares a junction with U.S. route 41 in Copper Harbor, and taking M26 southwest from Copper Harbor to Eagle Harbor provides an extremely fun to drive and scenic route along the Lake Superior Coastline.
After hiking Bare Bluff, we stopped in at the Eagle Harbor Inn for a late...
After visiting Copper Harbor back in July, we decided to return in mid-October for a short weekend trip away to see the fall foliage, and find some adventure. After the 10 hour drive up through Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, we continued to head north on U.S. Route 41...
Thanks for reporting back on this. I had seen that you had installed these sliders and hit the Rubicon and I was curious how they held up.
I put these sliders on my 4 door a couple of months ago. I did not doubt the strength as the tube is DOM and the mounts are boxed well. People like to...
The Axials are fun! I really like the 1:24 scale because nearly everything becomes an obstacle to climb it over, since they're small.
I definitely wish I had the Sta-Bar... it is needed for sure in some spots there, you're right. Will have to go with an aftermarket one when those eventually...
Definitely get the skid plates, and a different tire will definitely help as well. I have taken mostly stock Jeep Wrangler Sports (except for upgrading skids and tires, and maybe just small lift 1-1.5") through the Badlands for years and with some good skids and tires, and some good spotting...
I honestly had more fun in the dunes than I ever had before. That is always considered the "easy" area of the park for 4x4's, but I have tried to keep up with a friend with SxS's in my Jeep and it was impossible. I think the Bronco could come close to doing it. Of anything I did out there, I...
We would've taken it further, but we were out there by ourselves. I've done many of the climbs over the years in the quarry with other vehicles. Some of them can be deceptively easy if you know the spotting and tire placement tricks. Best to do with a group, though, and as you found just...
The Badlands is located in Fountain County, Indiana, near the banks of the Wabash River and just outside of the town of Attica, and not far from Turkey Run and Shades State Parks. It's over 1400 acres of varied terrain, including dunes, rocks, sandstone ledges, mud, wooded trails, and other...
Excellent! Really love that area. Was just there last year and camped on Hagerman Pass, and also ran Mosquito.
Here is a pic of the sign from back in 2004 when I ran the pass in a snowstorm in my old TJ. There was a lot less writing on the sign back then, it's kind of getting in rough shape...
Apparently, it is possible to open the rear swing gate if you first disconnect the strut. I did not think to do it this way, but Velocirax shows how this is possible here:
Great pics and clips! Love seeing these Broncos doing work on this trail system. Really wish I could have made it back down there this year. Hopefully next year...
That ARB bumper looks great with the base grill, and the OME suspension seems to match with it really well. The bumper looks better on your Bronco than in most of ARB's marketing for this bumper--they should use yours... Bronco looks great.
My Bronco developed a leak between the top tailgate edge and the seal on the soft top frame. I traced this down to the fact that the seal does not have a uniform density all the way across the tailgate edge, which can create gaps when the tailgate is shut against the seal.
In a heavy rain or...
Yeah that crossed our minds many times while we were up there... Up on Superior the lack of boats is eerie... and then you occasionally see a freighter off on the distant horizon...
These OEM Factory Rock Rails came off my 4-Door 2022 Black Diamond Sasquatch that I picked up in June of '22. Includes all of the brackets and OEM hardware, so you can mount these on any 4-door Bronco even if your Bronco didn't originally come with steps or rails that include these necessary...
