Agreed. I also watch the TFL guys for the primary purpose of getting a feel for the trails they run. We've been wheeling Wranglers since the mid-80s (with kiddos in car seats) and over the years have crossed almost every Colorado off-road pass from Monument to Ouray. We just picked up our MY24...
Ah, I see. That does present a challenge. I don't have a solution, but others might? I do like those classic running boards, though. Other than that gap, it looks like they do a pretty good job as rock blockers.
I'm not sure if this is helpful not knowing the length of your running boards, but the RokBlokz front flaps fit nicely with the Everglades rock sliders (pictures attached).
Just posted on the separate thread to answer your question there, but I see that you're way ahead of me. Your install looks great on the HE and, like you, I installed the rears to save those following me the headache of a cracked windshield after I come off the trails.
No problem sliding under your SAS to install the rears. Like in the video, test fit the entire assembly before tightening everything down (an extra set of hands helps here). If you need an excuse to buy more tools, a long handled torque wrench (see attached picture) makes the job easier (those...
Standard SAS Rokblokz. Absolutely love 'em. Frame mounted, so a bit more effort to install than some others, but worth it IMHO. Quick word of caution, though. If you use the quick release 'knob' screws to hold on the mud flaps (easy removal for serious rock crawling - the extremely robust frame...
I had a local dealer watching for an Everglades and, when this one rolled off the truck, I snagged it. Have since traveled from Monument through the Colorado mountains to Moab, the Tetons, and Yellowstone, and haven't looked back (except for every time I walk away from it)... :like:
I thought that I would get an interesting mix of responses :like: so thanks to all. I suspected that it was to confirm that a tire has not been driven and it sounds like that's probably it. In any case, I change oil every 3K miles and do a five tire rotation every 6K so, about 1K miles from...
I noticed a spray of white spots on the tread of our MY24 Everglades GY Territory MT spare tire some time ago (see attached picture) and didn't think much about it. Then our daughter purchased a MY25 Badlands that has the GY Territory MT tires (non-SAS 285s) and, yep, her spare has the same...
I picked this 'heritage' Bronco puzzle at Hobby Lobby the other day. Lots of little easter eggs in the picture (check out the back seat stowaway). What struck me was the fishing pole in the background leaning up against the old red and white cooler. I have one that looks exactly like it (an...
Funny, I was just looking at the Ryobi pressure washer attachment (and their pressure washers) on Home Depot's website as I contemplate adding them to my ever expanding tool collection. Looks like one of the best solutions to my winter mag chloride undercarriage wash conundrum.
That's the experience I was looking for, very helpful, thanks. Regarding PPF, I don't have that on mine, but I'm not surprised by the impact of the mag chloride on the film. My biggest problem with the winter road treatment in Colorado is that they often throw down sand along with the mag...
A quick follow up question. The ONR product page states:
"The substantive polymers in the product bond directly to the paint surface, delivering enhanced protection and lubricity without the residue of traditional washes."
I've got a dealer-applied ceramic coating on my Bronco, so bonding...
Picked up our new Everglades in September and now just came across this thread. Already posted these pics in the 'Intro' forum, but hey, what the heck...
Getting back on topic from my initial post :), can the MIC top handle the water and blow dryer pressures from a touch-free car wash? I get that the detergents are harsh on all the plastics, and treatment with Griots (or Chemical Guys) products is always a good thing, but could the MIC top be...
I'd heard of Woolwax and Fluid Film, but not rinseless (?) soap. Not to divert to a side bar (exterior wash) topic, but what brand of 'rinseless' soap have you used? You'll have to forgive my ignorance on this, but I live at 7,000 feet and the air is a little thin up here... :wink:
