My Badlands Sas fronts wear slightly faster than the rears. I had the alignment checked and it was good. My assumption is steering geometry. I used to design race car suspension systems - there are a lot of trade offs with suspension geometry. To get the performance Ford wants they may end up...

I’ve got the Trailrax and am very happy. I bought mine when it first came out and the instructions had some errors. I figured it out and assume they have updated the instructions now. I like the look of the TR better. The angled sides of the TO are nice for recovery board mounting though.

I did an Off Roadeo Outpost there. A lot of great trails.

Desktop wind tunnel testing.

Unfortunately it covers non-police cars. In the description it prefers law enforcement but the claims are what matter. Nothing in the description is legally binding for IP ownership. Claims 1, 8, and 15 are the independent claims which for the basis of the patent. None mention law enforcement...

This is really focused at integrating speed detection with the on board infotainment system (i.e. screen). The car might already have enough sensors since some cars already have radar and lidar but could include adding additional sensors. The sensors are not limited to radar and lidar, so...

I live in hot Georgia and have not seen this issue on my ‘23 Bronco. I park outside in the sun with no shade to be found. I don’t have to open my hood very often in the heat of the day but I will keep an eye on this now.

Looks great. I would want to see stress testing with side loads before purchasing. I’d be willing to reinforce the horns if needed.

I suspect toe angle changes a lot more at the extremes of travel. That would lead to more bump steer which could result in some vehicle wander and would definitely wear the tires a bit more. The other thing to consider is wheel camber. It will also have bigger changes with more travel and camber...

Tire wear and heat are a big concern. But for vehicle manufactures vehicle stability is a bigger concern. Tire pressure affects vehicle stability in the real world, but importantly for them, standardized stability tests that they must meet. Manufacturer pressures will be specified first for...

I’ve been to New Hampshire and Moab Off Roadeos. New Hampshire is similar terrain and difficulty. Remember the Outpost events are half day vs full day for the Off Roadeos. The guides are the same (Erica works at Moab and Cody worked at Texas and is now at Tennessee), but at the Outpost they...

We had a great time as well. We were in Cody’s group on Friday. Enjoyed talking with you all, we should plan a trip back there. John

Texting and driving is bad enough. Now droning while driving....

I like the two light look as well. I went with KC's for the old school look. I am using DV8's Bull Bar. It did block the camera a bit, so I added new threaded inserts to move the lights 6" further apart. It still blocks the camera some, but not too bad. The inserts are available at Advance...

The FAA requires a drone to have a pilot in command. Even flying automatically to GPS waypoints, someone is still responsible. Yeah, you can have a drone follow your bike, but it might be a stretch for the FAA to accept that you can drive a car and be the person in charge of the drone at the...

I was surprised Georgia allowed 2 letter plates. I had some other ideas but a two letter plate seemed pretty cool.

You were right. It is correct a frame flexes and suspensions articulate, but frame flex leads to more articulation. Articulation is not the motion of one suspension corner in isolation, but the relative motion of the system of all four corners. That comes from a combination of suspension...

I replaced mine with the Archetype Racing badges. Spendy but so much nicer than a sticker! https://archetyperacing.com/products/copy-of-dna-billet-aluminum-fender-emblems-w-trim-level-placard

That hood would look badass parked next to my ‘66 Mustang with the similar looking ‘67 hood scoop!

23 Badlands The ghost box looks awesome!
