I got my Bronco on Feb 6, 2023. It'll be three years on Feb 6, 2026, in about four weeks. This is an ode to that time.
I originally ordered a WT. But then I downgraded to a BL w/Sas on the actual order, since I'm not a speed guy. The 2.3l was good enough for me.
My original order was a Cyber...
A couple of years ago one of my YT favorites, Tinkerers Adventures, came out with a video that proposed (through testing!) that narrow tires had more (better?) contact patch than wider tires. Of course, this is counter-intuitive, since a wider tire seems like it would put more of itself on the...
I wonder if this'll work with the Bronco. Anybody know if the F-150 key fob is the same dimension as the Bronco's? Or maybe talk them into a Bronco version, the Bruckle?? 🤩
I can just see some dude out hiking with a leather belt stamped with his name on the back and this buckle but wearing...
I drove from DFW to Houston last weekend and both there and back, and since, I've been having a real issue. It involves a high-pitch whine, especially at certain MPH, a very loud cab and a "rough" ride that seems to come from the front end. It's very loud and I can feel a little bit of vibration...
I'm a subscriber, so when this came across I watched it and was like, is he seriously concerned? If so, this is peak dad mode. But does he have a point?
Saw this on Ars Technica, had a bit of a laff. Extreme terrain? As someone noted in the comments, I didn't see anything about travel, articulation, breakover angle, etc. I think somebody got a little ahead of themselves...

@TrailMilitia_George has started a journey where he and another similar 2dr are going to compare and contrast 74Weld and Werewolf portals for your viewing pleasure.
(There's also a 4dr that has Tibus already that will be included here and there, I suppose.)
Last I had heard, Werewolf wasn't...
A 2dr, 4dr and Braptor attempt to conquer Fordyce.
Does it live up to it's reputation as one of the hardest trails in Cali? Do the Broncos escape unscathed? 🤔
Last Sunday I went to Northwest and we did several yellow trails (I'd say 5-6/10's). We had done some of them before, and this time was fine.
Except... we did this one yellow that's at the top of a flat hill. There were five down slides, two of which were treacherous, one that had a hump and...
Ars Technica has an interesting story about "The 10 things car buyers say they want in their next car". Interesting what those are, although a lot of these are tech I wouldn't/don't care for:
1. Wireless phone charger
2. (tie) Backseat wireless charger
3. (tie) Heated and ventilated seats
4...
I'm planning on going Method Bead Grips, however I don't want to go up in tire size just yet. I want to stay at 35's for the next set.
I don't want to rebuy the rims, in other words, but my next set will likely be 35's.
If I'm going 37's, my understanding is I'd want to get 0 offset and a 1...
It's an interesting article with lots of details. Here's the salient off road paragraph:
Obviously doesn't give it the full off roader wring out ("ease and grace" is humorous in the off road context), but good to see they've made progress in a short turnaround. Going to assume this still puts...
Well, I got my first crack in my windshield. A rock or something fell out of a tree, no cars or anything around! Weirdest thing.
It's tiny, maybe a couple millimeters (long as a sharpened pencil lead). I've got an appointment at Safelite tomorrow. Never done this before.
Just wondering about...
