  1. Winch Shackle questions - brand and finish recommendation (anodized vs bare aluminum)

    I ordered the Fairlead (blue, would prefer gray) from Ford.com/accessories. Their order page is a mess, very frustrating. I hope I get a survey request, I'll really let them have it. The good: If you have an American Express card, go to AmEx, click on "Rewards & Benefits" at the top. Work...
  2. ⚡️ 2026 Jeep Recon debut. 650hp / 620 lb-ft, 0-60 in 3.6 sec, 250 miles range

    The ads will certainly show them driving Baja over a flat-as-a-pancake vista, then coming down to a carefully groomed flat pan and executing a perfect wheelie. Underneath, for 3 seconds, in small print you won't be able to read against the backdrop, it will disclaim, "Closed course...
  3. Stellantis Putting Ads on Infotainment Screen--Ford, Don't You Dare!

    My wife has a flip phone. She refuses to get a smart phone. I have a smart phone, but I probably use <10% of its features, functions, and power. I feel like a guy with a daytime +sight-only pilot's license still learning his Piper Commanche suddenly in the cockpit of a 747.
  4. Stellantis Putting Ads on Infotainment Screen--Ford, Don't You Dare!

    The intrusion of ads has become ubiquitous. Every form of media! Ad blockers work just so much. Many of them you have to engage and manually "x"-out. I think a political candidate would get a lot of very strong support if he could formulate a realistic way to curtail spam calls, texts, and...
  5. Oil change light between regular maintenance?

    We have to be careful with these oil threads. First, they can get awfully intense--such an interesting thing to arouse strong passions. Second, there's been so many threads on oil. That said, I didn't know the oil indicator was set for 1 year/10K miles. Now I hear it also monitors the oil's...
  6. ⚡️ 2026 Jeep Recon debut. 650hp / 620 lb-ft, 0-60 in 3.6 sec, 250 miles range

    If they import them to the US market, the bottle openers will probably be metric with the manual written in Chinglish.
  7. Stellantis Putting Ads on Infotainment Screen--Ford, Don't You Dare!

    That would be poetic justice, sure, but they can restrict that messaging to when the vehicle is not moving. I wonder if there's a Forscan for Stellantis that can defeat that.
  8. Alberta Trail Journal - Day Trips and Overlanding Reports

    Looks like fun. I'll borrow my daughter's Subaru for those trails roads. If I took my Badlands, the Canadian Border Guards would probably flag my truck because of that Montreal parking ticket I refuse to pay. ($C60 fine + $C31 "Service Fee." Not sure about what an appropriate gratuity would be.)...
  9. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    Will AI ever compensate for natural stupidity?
  10. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    The OP returns to the scene of the crime.
  11. Stellantis Putting Ads on Infotainment Screen--Ford, Don't You Dare!

    I'm so old, I remember when cable TV was promoted because we wouldn't have to watch ads. And when a motel would have "HBO" out on the street sign to promote their amenities.
  12. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    Whom you addressing, @Nickhick or me? We both have about 274 posts. However, "SeptuagenerianSasquatch" is not my first nom de guerre on this forum. I can't divulge more, lest the censors admins get wise. Maybe in a couple of years I'll ask for a new moniker, "OctogenerianSasquatch."
  13. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    I was up in Montreal last year. First time since 1967. Tried poutine for the first and only time. Forced myself to eat half of it, only because I'm cheap. Jerks gave me a parking ticket, "Loading Zone," at 11:30 PM! Not only was it $C65, but there was a freaking $C30 service fee! tacked onto it...
  14. Stellantis Putting Ads on Infotainment Screen--Ford, Don't You Dare!

    Stellantis has started streaming ads on infotainment screens on Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, or Alfa Romeo models, offering drivers discounts and promotions for new vehicles, extended warranties, and other, um, services and products. Just what we need, right? Read More...
  15. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    It turns out, pineapple (with ham) on pizza originated in Chatham, Ontario, in 1962. The originator, Sotirios "Sam" Panopoulos, named it "Hawaiian" after the brand name of canned pineapple he used--it has nothing to do with the state. Which makes pineapple on pizza Canadian. So you make a...
  16. That Bronco6G life: for the new people so you won't be alarmed.

    I know your type. Thinks Diehard is a Christmas movie.
  17. Winch Shackle questions - brand and finish recommendation (anodized vs bare aluminum)

    I've gone mainly for function over style on my build, and I still get compliments. Maybe I'll get a tire for the spare, but what design to put on it? I'm thinking, "It's Never Too Late For A 2nd Adolescence!"
  18. Winch Shackle questions - brand and finish recommendation (anodized vs bare aluminum)

    I might be out west July or August...hopefully...my rig ain't nothing like your wife's (on the left), but I try. Basic Badlands + a good winch, lights, now on KO2s. I want to do Snake Valley (western Juab & Millard counties, Nevada border) just for the awesome remoteness and desolate landscape...
  19. Winch Shackle questions - brand and finish recommendation (anodized vs bare aluminum)

    I believe you have to go through the AmEx site, their "store" so they get whatever participation they have with Ford Performance. I don't want to get too far off-topic--I want people's recommendations on a good tow hookup--but on the photo, my guess is that the Bronco on the right had gotten...
