I wonder what 10th gear will get to in 4L?

And I appreciate it! But apparently I’m not smart enough to reach for it.

Yep I get it now, that’s a connection I hadn’t made before. But it makes perfect sense, thanks for that.

80 series cruisers are full time 4H with a big lever to switch to low range, and some have electronic front and rear lockers. Pretty low tech setup that works incredibly well. I should mention that the center locker is only engaged when you either switch the transfer case to low, or you make a...

After buying the Bronco, how about a party hat and a kazoo?

Oh I’ll admit it, definitely learned something here! And it’s fun reading all the comments. All good.

Don’t worry, you’re not worthy.

Bite me. 😎

This is the first Ford I’ve ever owned so it’s different for me. Most 4wd vehicles I know can be driven in 4H without binding. Having a separate 4A is different.

Ok ok it makes perfect sense. I knew about 4H vs 4A, just didn't think about it at the time. I come from a Land Cruiser which is full time 4wd and this isn't even a consideration...unless you do something stupid like leave the lockers engaged. FWIW I've been doing this a long time, know...

This surprised me. I was in 4H leftover from the weekend camping trip, just hadn't switched it back. Normal mode, just 4H. I went to meet my wife for dinner last night, and was rolling through the parking lot, foot off the throttle. I slowed down a little and started to turn into a parking...

While it was mostly FS roads (some not maintained in a LONG time), we did get to play a little. On one particular climb/descent (where I got most of the stripes), I used 4L and Trail Control. It is very cool how it works, made going down just super easy. It was also cool to keep the pitch and...

Yeah I had the same concern. I've got a 250lb torque wrench, but since I'm working on the garage floor, didn't want to go through trying to multiply it with extensions, and maybe break an expensive wrench. I had the dealer tech install them when they were taking care of a couple other things.

My wife and I took off Friday morning and spent the weekend in the national forest, just needed a little getaway. Nothing crazy, just a couple of the most perfect fall days to spend in the woods. Friday night we were in the Montgomery Creek area, in a really remote place, no traffic at all...

Those are the skids I installed. Well made. Any reason you’re selling?

So does this mean I have hard top number 53,069? Maybe I should leave it there for future value. Yeah right. LOL

We are headed out on a long weekend camping trip in the morning and I can’t wait. I’ll say this much, mounting up the old Trasharoo was a lot tougher on the Bronco than on my old Land Cruiser. Since the spare is on the tailgate instead of a swing out, it makes routing the straps a little...

I don't really notice any sound difference with the Sunrider. The hard top panels had a little wind noise, but nothing much and easy to carry on a conversation. And the Sunrider seems to me just about the same. The little bit of wind noise even comes from about the same place, at the rear of...

Not a chance. As far as I’m concerned the hard top panels are in the garage permanently. I’ve had convertibles in the snow before and the Sunrider is at least as well built as a factory top, if not better. Perfect solution IMO.

If your wife wants a toilet, things get tougher. I have exactly the same requirement! Done a huge amount of research and these are my finals. If I get my way Escapod Topo 2, my #1 choice (they don’t make the 1 any more) Mean Bean, a real close second Conqueror UEV 490 (big money but wow) But...
