Part 6, Big Sinking Creek Trail & Road to Hell Creek. At this point we were well into our first 50 miles on the Byway loop, and nearing the end of the first day. These particular trails are not marked on many maps, and it helps to have the official digital DBBB map, a GPS, and perhaps the Gaia...

I have used Monstaliner in the past with a lot of success. If you want a DIY option for bedlining the rocker, it can be easily applied with a foam brush or a roller, as long as the prep is good. If you have the ability to use a spray-on, Raptor U-Pol is also excellent. But I have rolled on...

Joined this club today with a 4 door Black Diamond 2.7 Mid Sasquatch, now the waiting game begins. I am glad that those pictures of the Mustang were posted, as this color really reminds me of a green that I once saw on a 1970's-era Mach1 Mustang. I think this color is going to look great with...

Part 4, Pilot road to Barkers Branch road, a bunch of pavement miles in-between trails. ...and... Part 5, Fixer-Leeco road all the way to Bald Rock Fork road. Mostly gravel, but some stuff you have to more slowly traverse. No huge obstacles on this one, and perfect for using the higher-speed...

Skid plate that protects the auto trans pan, but has drain holes for mud and heat dissipation. Must be easily removable Winch mount like the Ford OEM that's even more basic, weighs as little as possible, and works with HD Modular OEM bumper Rear shock skids Currie Antirock, ORO Swayloc, and/or...

Part 3, Furnace-Pilot Road. This would probably be the section that I would be most likely to bypass in a brand new Bronco. It starts out weird, as you travel down an official county road that is still in dispute. Almost immediately after that, it turns into a very rutted out, muddy mess...

Yes! LoD are legit. Been winching off my LoD ArmorLite bumper for many years of being turtled :LOL: Their stuff is also Made in USA in West Lafayette, Indiana (y)(y)

I put my ARB 50L fridge in the back of a dealer mannequin 4 door Bronco, and it fit way better than in my JK, where it barely fits front to back. Even better, the fridge just clears under the height of that rear swing gate on the Bronco, and so it might even be possible to get a 50L fridge on a...

I'd rather disconnect before the obstacle or the trail itself. It's a cool demo to disconnect mid-obstacle, and the tech is definitely impressive, but I'd personally never do it that way. Maybe just me.

Eyeballing it, it seems like Jeep's front swaybar (connected) has more torsional rigidity than the Bronco's. And disconnecting Jeep's front swaybar has a much bigger difference on travel than disconnecting the Bronco's... that much is very clear, especially with the Sasquatch package. The...

Part 2, all the pavement miles between the Punkin Hollow and Furnace-Pilot trails. The DBBB isn't all trails--it is interconnected by a bunch of pavement and gravel roads. It is on these types of overland routes that I think the suspension of the Bronco will really shine; hopping seamlessly...

Impressive. This is one of the few wheeling videos I have seen that shows clearly the front travel when still connected with the Sasquatch suspension. Still a good amount of travel and it also demonstrates how much more important the lockers are with this kind of setup. Good video showing off...

Front swaybar removed in this video or was it still connected?

I'd prefer to keep it, as it only has 84k miles, is running pretty good now, and we'll likely need a 3rd set of wheels in the family soon. And I'm at the back of the Bronco line anyways... didn't reserve until the second week of August '21 as I wanted to wait to test drive one to see if it was...

For those looking for a longer trip than just the 100 mile DBBB, there is also the KAT (Kentucky Adventure Tour) which is much longer at 900+ miles, but includes much of the main DBBB loop: https://kentuckyadventuretour.com

Part 1, Punkin Hollow Road. This and following vids will be in real time, covering every mile of the Byway, with the GoPro telemetry rendered in.

If you are doing anything other than an easy straight line pull, you need to be able to see how the line is wrapping on the drum. You also need easy and quick access to the clutch. A mount below the front bumper is more likely to submerse the winch in water and mud. It is hard/impossible to...

Yeah, there's nothing too rough except the rocks on Old Fincastle and the deep ruts and mud on Furnace-Pilot. Couple of deep water crossings but nothing needing a snorkel. Rest is cake. Great exploring and wayfinding though. I would like to do it again when the colors change on the trees in...

Here's all 100 miles of the DBBB sped up by 2000% so that it fits into just 30 minutes:

Wow! Thanks for the info! We had a ton of fun on DBBB and could tell that there was a lot more going on there than just the overland loop. Looks like there's a lot more to explore! 👍😎
