Nice print. What machine do you have? I'm thinking about getting one.

We were at 4500 ft in the Sierras for the holiday “Snowmageddon”. Record snowfalls over an entire week, highways closed everywhere above us, trees down everywhere and power outage for 5 days. Conditions ranged from powder to ice. The BS was an absolute goat, never felt a slip or slide (until of...

Just found I have the same problem (so happy it’s finally raining), seems to be more like OP’s as the defroster wire doesn’t appear to be getting caught. I’ll give the weatherseal around the window a closer look once it stops pouring rain.

I think mine are aimed a bit high, and with some squat it’s way too high. Had a weekend’s worth of luggage, family of 4 and 2 bikes on the hitch rack, a lot of oncoming drivers flashed at me like the high beams were on. Looks like adjustment is very easy, it’s detailed in the Owner’s Manual...

I use the car’s speakerphone a lot. I use my turn signal a lot. The signal is so loud, my boss asked me if I was driving in circles. My Mazda 6 had an adjustable turn signal volume. Would be nice if I could turn this one down a click or two.

I’m sure the deflector will make a slight difference in MPG, 1-2 MPG tops, but definitely not 5 MPG. The BS is already a brick, a little bump on the hood can’t make the aero that much worse. And why would the efficiency change over time? Nothing is changing about the accessory or the airflow...

Tools could be as simple as a circular saw (with a fine blade) with a straight edge, and a drill. Join with glue and screws. 1/2” birch plywood (commonly known as ”baltic birch”) is a good choice, and it’s available pre-finished. It’s just a box with some smaller boxes inside. Use 500lb rated...

If it doesn’t pass, maybe try “BUCKN EH”. Because, stereotypes.

I never considered myself the vanity plate kind of guy, but this was available and I couldn’t resist! DMV website said their lead time is 6-9 months, yikes.

Whatever you get to stuff into the trailer hitch, make sure it’s ”shin friendly”.

I should be clearer, it wasn't quite that simple....I still had to go through the negotiation process (Dealer: "Price is MSRP minus a $500 Ford rebate. 0% financing. Sound good? We'll be happy to sell it to the next guy in line if not." Me: "OK fine, you got me.") Then of course there was all...

My dad ordered a BS but decided to buy a different car. When the BS arrived that he had ordered, I walked in to the dealer with him and bought it. There was no paperwork, just a verbal ok from him and the Bronco was mine. I don’t think he ever got his $100 deposit back though.

On rare occasions I get a blank screen when I should see Car Play. I can control calls and music via steering wheel controls. Unplugging the phone will fix it. Same has happened in other cars. Assuming a software glitch.

I see you have it held down with a ratchet strap, any further thoughts on how to keep the box in place? I’m thinking of doing something similar but about half as wide. Without a tie-down point in the middle, a strap won’t do much.

Darn, I was kind of excited about gaining a couple inches of vertical space. Didn’t know there were multiple positions for the deck.

Every tire has compromises, softer compounds create more grip but wear faster. For example, the Hankook tires that came on my Transit 250 had life left in them at 50k (some folks have pushed them to 70k), but they were designed for commercial use and long life. I replaced them with Cooper...

Yes, it’s kind of a silly idea. Would probably go with a propane stove instead. To run a microwave would require several thousand in gear, including Li batteries, B-to-B charger, inverter, etc. Plus $800+ for a fridge. That same money buys a lot of burritos and sandwiches.

Darn, anything less than 30k is pretty dismal for a modern tire. I’ve had a lot of tires go well beyond 50k. I’m in no hurry to replace the Wildpeaks, they have been a great tire so far.

First custom camping build I’ve seen on a BS. Nice work! I have dreams of a fridge and microwave in the back of mine…I spend my work day on the road so buying lunch gets expensive.

Really happy with the Wildpeaks on my Badlands. Can’t believe how quiet they are for how aggressive the tread is, even with 9,000 miles already. I’ll probably try to replace my Transit 250 tires with Wildpeaks when the noisy Cooper Discoverer AT3’s wear out. Traction in loose dirt, sand and...
