Collector item!

I'm not big on driving Ma Bell again. I've done it three times, and as I said, it was my first off-road effort since my Sonora Desert job in 1965 (in IH Scouts!). But I'd join people who want to, ride shotgun, help with spotting, hit a pub afterwards. Now a trip to Armorditch? Sure, I'm in. Set...

@GreenBadlands When I bought in 2022 and 53,000 happy miles ago, there wasn't much you could do without blocking the camera. My solution then was to install a new Rough Country bumper with an inside-the bumper "hidden" winch, so it was all low, down, out of the way. Kind of pricey, but it looks...

We should organize something soon before snow and frozen mud starts. Rich Banfield is a pro guide in Connecticut. I wonder if he's be interested in heading up a group for Old Florida Road, North Adams, MA? Probably the only #6 (out of 10) trail in Mass. Sasquatch lift necessary, plus winch or...

You know how Jeeps have that silly badge just forward of the door(s), "Trail Rated"...? Ford should have one, "Recall Rated." Maybe superimpose the words over an outline of the owner's app.

How about a body wrap with "flames" coming out from around the front fender and hood? Or maybe...mud?

No. You're never done.

My Trailrax (which uses the accessory mounting point, there) is more than just a cargo conveyance. It has the 40-inch Heretic trail light array, two Heretic dome lights (the wheel well "rock lights," but with an operational button) on each side for camp illumination, plus a Heretic rock light...

I've been on runs with lifted 4Runners and Higlanders, with AT rubber (can't identify). I consistently just rode over or through obstacles effortlessly in 2L (usually: no lockers) that the yodas were navigating carefully with spotters.

Vendors rarely combine (or stack) discounts. Sometimes, with a published sale price, you can use a code identifying yourself as veteran or first responder or maybe teacher. The thing is to obtain a legitimate discount code, then order from the sale, Black-Friday, open-box, or some other such...

Just "thinking out loud," I wonder: 1) prepare early with knee-high barn boots. Keep them where you can put them on when you're behind the wheel. Accept that you will bring a lot of goo onto your floorboards. 2) Free up 15-feet of winch line, and run it inside the driver's door window. Leave the...

@debaser, DM me with your mailing address and I'll send you one, carbonized gray, gratis. Maybe a Ford-sourced rattle can of Oxford White is available? Or maybe there's an Oxford White mall crawler you can find...:teehee:

@AlienHunter Thanks for the advice! @23OBX2.7, you too! It's getting cold in my latitude, so that looks like an afternoon project for an early spring day next year.

Likewise. No problem with rocks, debris, or bugs. I'd love to see an airflow diagram of how this thing actually works. It's kept everything off, except for bugs on I-35 in Kansas on a hot summer night. I installed it myself, and followed the instructions very carefully, including a final...

Here are some scary jack'o'lanterns:

The problem with the two-door is the smaller gas tank, and thus a limited range. Big problem for those of us who want high-capability 4x4s which can go deep-country without loading up the sides with extra gas cans. My solution is to take a vehicle with reliability and high mileage, and make it...

A LandRover is no match for a Bronco.

It wasn't a garbage truck which ran Alec Baldwin off the road. It was me.

So, three days with the N'orEaster, running around Boston and nearby parkways. Mostly in 4A/Slippery* no trouble. Parkway driving south of Boston was mostly straight, so there wasn't any occasion which called for extra traction. On city streets, I disengaged 4A a few times and gunned it around...

And the Sun. :wink:
