You are in a situation where traction is very limited. Sounds like both times it is a situation where you have the rear locker on and you aren't moving, so both rear tires have limited traction. Also at least one of the front tires has limited traction so three tires are spinning and the car...
I've had it on for a little over 2000 miles.
At highway speed with the top up you get more road noise and a little bit of wind rumbling the canvas. When you pass a big semi and break through the wind, sometimes the turbulence will make it will bang or pop. This is more pronounced when driving...
It is important to remember when looking at car prices back in the 1960s and 1970s, that no one expected those cars to last 100,000 miles. At 60,000 miles they were considered 'worn out' and at 80,000 miles people would say they aren't worth fixing. People who managed to get one to last to...
I love my ‘23 BL non-SAS. Just got back from Moab where it performed great. I test drove both SAS and non-SAS and I picked the non-SAS for better acceleration on the street. This is my daily, so I went with the better street manners, and I don’t think I gave up much on the trails.
I was taught to drive by my dad in the gas-shortage 1970's when all the cars got 15 MPG or less. I've got almost 5000 miles on my 2.7L Badlands, and I've been observing what saves gas. 1) It has plenty of power if you step on the throttle, but even moderate acceleration really consumes fuel...
I installed the Sunrider last weekend. It has been in the box since last year when I bought the truck. There is a little extra wind noise, but it isn't so loud I can't enjoy music or anything. Part of the reason I got the Bronco was to be able to drive around with the top open, and the panels...
When you order the Bestop Sunrider or Skyrider from the factory, it will come in boxes in the back of the truck. My dealership did *not* install it for me. Also it cost about $500 more than just buying it directly from Bestop.
The one that rips off my front plate is the kind with the spinning rags. The 'no drill' bracket is plenty sturdy enough to resist the wind, but not much else. It isn't bolted to anything and clamps the edge of a curved surface with soft aluminum.
I don't want to shade the HBTFD bracket, but I have the 'no drill' version for the "capable" steel bumper and an automatic car wash has ripped it off twice. (it kind of clamps the edge of the bumper with some aluminum sheet). I'm switching to the DV8 slanted which seems like it might last a...
Sundays and Holidays are double time. I'm not sure what the current contract says, but there may be more than time-and-a-half once they hit a certain number of hours per week. A Caterpillar diesel mechanic with 5 years experience working 40 hours a week makes more than $125k. Yeah, good blue...
I had a run-in with Serramonte a few months ago on a BL. I called them, they wanted $20K ADM, I told them not happening, but maybe $2k ADM. Two weeks later at the end of the month they said the would do $2K ADM. So I went there, but I didn't close the deal because it had MGV and Sas. The MGV...
6/1 In Production, 6/19 “Built”. Then nothing. Today the dealership called and said my Bronco arrived 7/9. When I checked the tracker this morning, no change, now it shows prepared for delivery.
Too bad I bought another one off the lot three weeks ago. Someone else is going to get a very...
