  1. What's up with the light up numbers on the side of my door?

    I really like the embedded numbers as well. I was a little disappointed my Maverick came with old school keypad on the pillar after having the bronco.
  2. How many members here are Married?

    Came close a couple times in my youth. Both times things went sideways right before the day so I got kinda jaded on the piece of paper stating marriage. Been with my wife for 14 years now and we just got around to getting officially married last week.
  3. If you could locate and buy your first vehicle, would you?

    That is gorgeous! Mine didn't look near that nice when I got it. I didn't realize when I bought it that someone had swapped in a rear glass from a '75 so it has the wrap around rear window. Common thing people did in the 80's I've heard. I'm planning on swapping it back one of these days. I had...
  4. If you could locate and buy your first vehicle, would you?

    Your post brings back memories. I didn't want to drive my Firebird in the winter so I found a POS '84 Mustang LX with a blown transmission for $200. Paid $300 for a used c5 tranny and I was off and going all winter. I've driven mopeds with more power than that little 3.8 V6. Sunroof leaked like...
  5. If you could locate and buy your first vehicle, would you?

    I would, and I did. '73 Firebird Formula. Adult life hit after high school and figured I'd never have time to fix it up so I sold it. Always regretted it. A few years later I saw it for sale on Craigslist a couple towns over and bought it back.
  6. What are your hobbies?

    I feel out of place not mountain biking around here. Besides the usual hunting and fishing which the bronco will help immensely with fuel mileage, I run a trap line all winter. Usually going after coyote, badger, bobcat, beaver, mink, muskrat, marten, and wolf. I'm also am old car nut. Have...
  7. Did anybody get a survey from Ford?

    Got the survey. Filled it out but never got the invite to Atlanta. Must not have liked my answers.
  8. Help Me Choose Winter Rims

    I'll look around and find a set of take off Big Bend wheels. That way it looks the same.
  9. Advice needed BB or OBX? Long post

    I saw that thread when it first popped up and never looked at it again. Figured it would devolve into a giant pissing match so I steered clear.
  10. Advice needed BB or OBX? Long post

    Completely agree. The OBX wheels are are the ugliest option of them all. I'd take bare rusted base steelies over the OBX wheels anyday.
  11. Advice needed BB or OBX? Long post

    I'll offer a different opinion than everyone else so far. For that close in price, I'd go with the Big Bend. Only real difference is a few creature comfort tech things and nearly 15,000 miles. For the same price I'd go with much fewer miles. Tech add ins don't mean much to me and I'd rather...
  12. Cargo Management System Storage

    If Im just keeping it there for everyday use, it's in whatever position I left it in last. If I know I have something big to haul with seats down before I leave home I just put it in the house. If I suddenly need the whole space while out and about, I stuff it in that big ass gap between the...
  13. Heritage and Heritage Limited Thread

    Putting that theory to the test.
  14. More Utility, Less Sport

    Great job Cornelius.
  15. Heritage and Heritage Limited Thread

    Became a two Bronco household yesterday. Wife's Heritage finally arrived. Gotta say the pictures do not do the Robins egg justice. She's a happy camper now.
  16. Hygiene question for you overlanders...

    Shovel and a nice peaceful spot with a view. Quick story somewhat related. Years ago when I was running bear hounds all summer we would be up there every weekend so we just left campers there. Got there one weekend and someone had taken a giant dump on the steps of a buddies camper. Even poked...
  17. 2023 Offroading with the 1.5 ecoboost

    I have the "full size" spare that comes with the tow package, but I didn't need it. Small enough hole that I was able to make it home. Running about 15 psi in it by the time I got there but it made it without swapping it.
  18. 2023 Offroading with the 1.5 ecoboost

    Depends on what you call lite trails but it'll probably do just fine. Took ours out on a whim with a small group. Bone stock and it kept up just fine with a Badlands and a lifted Big Bend. Sharp rock put a small hole in the crappy stock tires I had to patch the next day but otherwise fine.
