Haha. Never noticed the devils horns but will have to pay better attention. Thanks for the reply. When I was researching this topic there was a surprisingly limited number of discussions happening on B6G that talked about real-world use. Would be interested in seeing what you (and others) are...

Just a quick plug for the much-maligned OEM rack, which I have outfitted with the Yakima platform (both purchased used this spring). Two trips - Ontario, CAN and Outer Banks, NC. We have a cargo bag that we hold in place with lashing straps. Holds a very large wheeled piece of luggage, two...

Yesterday, we drove from OBX, NC to Fort Valley, VA. On the way, we parked at the Big Meadows area along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Took a quick two-mile loop hike with the kids. Continued on to George Washington National Forest and enjoyed the backyard view from our rental...

You’ll have a blast! Our first trip as well. The tide charts are your friend. As is low PSI.

More beach pics - from last night’s sunset.

Beach day in Carova, NC.

Drove from Williamsburg, VA to the end of the road in Corolla, NC. Continued north through the sand to Carova, where we’re staying for the week. More exploring in the days to come.

Detroit, MI ➡ Williamsburg, VA. Heavy rain and winding roads through the Appalachian Mountains. Three hour drive tomorrow, taking us to our home for the week in Carova, NC. Wayyy up north in the Outer Banks. Sand photos to follow…

I read through this entire thread waiting for this comment. Thank you. I’m not going to carry water for Filson. Don’t know anything about them. But I do have experience with the Ford Bronco, and I really don’t think we should be getting high and mighty on the B6G forum, pretending that the...

Stopped for a quick photo beside Ford’s renovated Michigan Central Station.

285/70r17 BFG KO3 on Black Diamond alloys. 3.73 gears are fine with this setup. I’m wary of going larger due to stress on the transmission/drivetrain. on a 2 door I don’t think it’s necessary (aesthetically) and for my needs off road, the 33” tires provide adequate clearance.

One more photo from the July 4th weekend. Rooftop cargo bag installed. Performed well. Minor leak due to operator error - I installed the bag backwards. The zippers encompass three sides of the bag, which has a fourth non-zippered “hinge” end. That sans-zipper side should have been facing...

Spent the past few days in Lambton Shores, Ontario. Nice drive up from Detroit, across the Bluewater Bridge into Sarnia and another hour up the eastern shore of Lake Huron. The new (to me) OEM roof rack and Yakima platform made the drive a lot more comfortable. Having all our luggage on the...

4-Hi on Ipperwash Beach, Ontario, Canada. Beautiful day.

Spent the day beaching and cruising along Lake Huron in Ontario, Canada. No pics other than these once we were back at the AirBnb.

Congrats @B-Dog15 - those looks great on your Bronco. Enjoy! just seemed a little aggressive, but maybe I read your posts wrong. ✌️

Really making art form of being certain and wrong at the same time, eh?

I installed a set of Falken Wildpeak MT’s (255/85r16) on my 2 door base when it was delivered. Those tires were relatively quiet for a MT tread, and reviews on various forums suggested that they were more well-mannered and better in snow/ice than other MT tires. An ill-advised (but fun!) trip...

Yes, I think that expectation is misplaced.

Ah yes, the AI grift. We know it all too well here in Michigan…
