  1. DCS 12v 100AH Super Slim Deep Cycle Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) Battery

    Iā€™m not sure if theyā€™ve put it in Broncos yet. The guy there did mention a rear seat delete as we were brainstorming, but saw my three kids with me and realized that was no-go. His idea was to mount it between my fridge and the side panel on the driverā€™s side, which is a possibility if I can...
  2. DCS 12v 100AH Super Slim Deep Cycle Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) Battery

    Anybody use this? Stopped by Rhino in San Marcos looking for advice/solutions for battery mounting. This is pretty expensive, but opens up a lot of doors for saving space. Iā€™m thinking about mounting it to the back of the rear seat on the driverā€™s side. It will fit perfectly in that location...
  3. Dual Battery Setups vs Portable Power supply

    I have been running an EcoFlow Delta 2 in the back of my Bronco for about six months now. Itā€™s actually my third unit, as it has been replaced under warranty twice. When I left a negative review on Amazon, they contacted me directly and offered me a $50 Amazon GC to take it down. If you pay...
  4. HF Radio Install Considerations

    When I read this, I figured that would be a good solution, but when I looked at my rig, I remembered that Iā€™ve got a shower tent mounted to the back of my roof rack that protrudes enough to interfere with any tall antenna mounted towards the center of the tailgate. That got me thinking about lip...
  5. Low profile recovery gear storage

    I will eventually put an AAL drawer (or two) on the right side for tools and camping gear, but Iā€™m otherwise pretty short on space and want to get stuff out of the cabin where possible.
  6. Mud everywhere

    It just occurred to me that this may just be an issue of the stock tires. They are notorious for trapping rocks and debris - getting back on pavement leaves me flinging stuff for a few minutes, even at highway speeds. My guess is they are just frantically launching mud into the deep recesses of...
  7. Low profile recovery gear storage

    Iā€™m looking for a low-profile box to mount on my PackRax to store my recovery gear. This will free up space in the cargo area, as well as keep my interior clean from dirt acquired via off-road recovery. Most overland-type boxes are far too big for this configuration. Looking at pelican cases...
  8. Mud everywhere

    I normally avoid mud because of the pain it brings for months afterwards. Having said that, Iā€™ve driven many vehicles through very muddy situations, and never seen anything like how badly the Bronco gets caked in every single crack and crevice. I had to hit a single muddy spot on a trail back in...
  9. HF Radio Install Considerations

    Curious if you have ideas for mounting an ATAS on the Bronco. I had a thought of mounting it to the front bumper, but I donā€™t think there is enough clearance. Rear bumper is plastic, and Iā€™d be wary to mount it higher for vertical clearance issues.
  10. HF Radio Install Considerations

    I used hamstudy.org. Each day, I would read the questions from a sub element briefly, then do study mode for 20-30 minutes until my ā€œaptitudeā€ level was at 100%. Thatā€™s probably overkill, but it was attainable without too much effort. Ten days later, I finished the final sub element and took the...
  11. HF Radio Install Considerations

    Ah, ok. I was looking at the Extra question pool and felt lost and overwhelmed by it. I may need to expand my skills and knowledge a little further before I take the exam, just to have a baseline knowledge.
  12. HF Radio Install Considerations

    Thanks for that. Iā€™ll check it out. In other news, I passed my general class license last night. That was much easier than I thought it would be. I think I may just keep studying and get my Extra while Iā€™ve got momentum. Why not, right?
  13. HF Radio Install Considerations

    Looking at upgrading my ham license to play on HF frequencies. What are things I need to consider when installing a mobile HF radio in a Bronco? how does the mix of steel and aluminum panels impact grounding and noise? I have an aluminum roof rack (TRMR) - is that a suitable location for an...
  14. HAPPY šŸ« DAY !!! Let's see those flexin' photos

    first one is mine at Big Bear when it was only a few weeks old. Second two were at Vegas Off Roadeo. The bottom pic has the Bronco almost perfectly balanced on the corner wheels, with the front on a loose boulder. The guide was able to throw the back corner into the air with his hands while I...
  15. What did your Bronco replace?

    1999 TJ. Itā€™s still sitting in my driveway and Iā€™m looking to sell it now. Held on to it while my Bronco was having electrical problems and spent half of its early life at the dealer. Now that Iā€™ve got it back, Iā€™m ready to part with the Jeep. Donā€™t know if Iā€™ll ever be truly ready to leave it...
  16. Stuck in 4x4 - Dealer/Ford can’t diagnose, 6 weeks and counting

    Well, I just got a call from the dealer. They found a loose ground on the 4x4 module. They fixed that and have driven it without any recurrence of the issue. Waiting for the next call with the all-clear. Seems like this is one of the first things that should have been checked two months ago, but...
