I almost went cheap, so glad I didn't. The goal is to light up as much of the ditch and road, as far as possible (so I don't hit another deer). Spent over $1000 on DD's and Rigid. Buy once cry once, better than crying over hitting a deer.
Had my windshield replaced couple years ago, by Safelite. They said they had to use an OEM replacement, for programming and sensors. Once the glass was installed we had to drive around so he could do some programming.
2022 2.3 7mt, replaced the battery last July while on a cross country trip, because to voltage displayed 12.2-12.8 or lower. Seemed low to me but I was just starting out on a backcountry adventure and didn't want trouble. Dealer ran diags and thought it was low too, also had the alternator...
Depends on your needs and space available. For me, it's 1-2 travelers in my 2-door. I removed the rear seats and put down a plywood platform. I installed a slide-out tray for my fridge along the passenger side. Roof top tent, then I can pack gear in the rear.
These are about the best pics...
For me, I try to be off-grid when camping/overlanding, so I went with a 35qt SetPower Fridge/Freezer and a Bluetti AC180 charger. I've that that setup for 2 years. I like my SetPower but would probably go with IceCo next time, just because it has good reviews.
Last summer that kept me going...
Yes pretty much flat here around the Twin Cities. I've only been off-road when traveling out west, and forgot I even have C. I'm still on my original 32's, will upgrade to 35's when those wear out. Haven't had a chance to use my rear lockers yet too.
Here in MN, nothing compared to mountain roads, (manual tranny) I've only used 4A in bad weather/roads. I've never used any of the GOAT modes or 4L/4H. All 4 wheels will be engaged in 4A as long as you are giving it gas.
I love the mountains, exploring and camping. I'm to old to be doing it...
Everyone else getting good tire wear with their General Grabbers?! 90k miles, 5-tire rotation every 5k miles. I want to upgrade to 35"'s when these wear out but might be awhile. Hope the Bronco lasts that long.
2022 Black Diamond - Eruption Green. Pretty like an Emerald, a precious green gemstone. So I named my Bronco Esmeralda, a kind and beautiful woman. Fittingly, I built an overlanding trailer which I named Quasimodo. Not handsome but works for Esmeralda. (ala Hunchback of Notre Dame).
This is how 4A works in my 2022 7mt, power distribution will show power to both front and rear when giving it gas. It does not need to detect slippage. I use it in snow and wet/slippery roads, sometimes the road is dry but I've never gone over 65 with 4A engaged. I love 4A, because of it I've...
