Tricky Dick's Dirty Bronco

[MrGreen55]

Crossed the 3k mark today, rolling at 12 psi after a day at the dunes. Baja mode is a riot.

Would a 5ft flag be better if you run a led whip if mount in the same spot?

IDK about better, but it should well. I was right at 8ft with the 4ft whip and a little more doesn't hurt.

Hey, what ever became of your cracked steering wheel airbag cover? Any resolution?

I'm waiting for it to get worse, and it is slowly.

Back from my journey. Nearly 1000 miles all said and done. Had a blast. Averaged a tick over 17 mpg even with about 8 hours of offroading mixed in.

Drug home a twill Bestop and a Ranger aluminum spare. It's 16x6.5 +55, for $20 I could see it being useful.

Which D-Rings did you buy and from where? Pretty close to Dozer Yellow.

Ambull from Amazon. Very good match to my interior accents.

Another DIY in the books.

Let's see, stuff happening.

Debaged the exterior except the blue oval.

Finally sold my stock wheels/tires.

Contacted Grainger and canceled my ESP. I decided I want to void the warranty so much that it won't be worth having.

And then I dove into Forscan. Lowered the TPMS to 32, enabled global close, and double click panic. Let's see what else I can find.

And now Sport mode is added. It doesn't feel any different though, probably because I've been in full control of my shift points all along.

And for my records if I want to revert back, it was a 9 that I changed to B.

I put the soft top on today. I may never go back, it was a pain.

Found out that any old 315mhz seem to keep the TPMS light off, even if they don't read accurately. I put these F150 wheels on a few days ago and still no light. I pulled off the Motegis to get proper sensors in them since the ebay ones I tried were also on/off.

Turns out those wheels didn't even have sensors at all! I broke a bead on one to check and nada. Since I sold my stock wheels and I want to get some semblance of good mileage on my trip, I'm putting a nice set of 285/70/17 Pathfinder SATs I had from a previous truck onto these wheels (those Coopers pictured are weather checked, bald, and E range, do not want!). Tire Rack TPMS sensors are on the way, learned my lesson with the ebay sensors.

Installed my brake controller today.

The Ranger spare looks pretty good with a 285 on it.

Your Bronco is one sweet looking ride, @Tricky Dick !

Nicely done.

Packing up to wheel with a CO 4dr tomorrow in northern Idaho. Forgot one little thing and thought the bungees would give enough to slip it in. Nope, ripped the handle right off, she's broke.

Ran Compressor Trail today. Had a great time til on the way back I sucked up a boulder and wrecked my shit. Limped home and I have 4 weeks to get everything fixed.
