I wonder how that would translate to the OB in comparison.
With the T/C off and not having lockers I'm having a tough time seeing how it would be all that bad on trails with dirt, gravel and rocks.
Also, with the BL & FE how would it be different than mud mode? So many unanswered questions...
Definitely looking forward to some good skid plates.
Still considering making my own.
Could use the engine splash guard as a template on some plate steel. Some square stock for rocker guards which looks like it would mount easily into the channel that has holes already there.

Got out there today. Pictures dont do it justice. Still staying out of the rough stuff till I get my new tires.
I went through the different GOAT's in my OB. I tried out Sport because it activates the rear sooner but as I suspected its a bit jumpy for the trails. Normal mode with T/C off...
My dealer just took a drive and thought it might be a fuel pressure solenoid or high pressure fuel pump. Says he's heard similar noises on other Fords and replacing it doesn't always work. And that's if ford gives them the ok. I guess in the past they have said that's just how it is. If that's...

Lol. This sounds like some of us that got an OB instead of an BL that are trying to justify it.
No slander intended, me too. I couldn't spend 40k+ for an inch lift and diff lockers. I'm super happy with my OB. The 1.5L is impressive and way more than I expected. Especially after I adjusted my...
Nice.
Most are closed off until the summer months because of conservation land. I've been around the Kearsarge area for a long time. Still trying to map them out and remember all the ones I used to hit in high school.
Any kind of crawling or navigating around obsticals. Slow and steady.
But it would be off as soon as I saw any mud, snow or sand and needed to pick up the pace.
I had a Jeep CJ7 that I could put in 4-low, first gear and not touch the gas. Just idle down rocky terrain until I needed a little...
Ya, like I said "L" is kinda wierd. Whatever gear your in it will jump the RPMs high, down shift one and continue to do that as you slow down. Kind of like an overactive tow mode.
But once its on you can't speed up because it won't up shift unless you redline. I wouldn't use it unless I wanted...
Looks like all the covers that are plastic and the fibrous material are metal on the BL+FE.
I'm waiting on the OEM replacement parts for the BL plates to become available. I'm sure they can just bolt on and replace what's on my OB.
Aftermarket would be good too.
I want some rock rails/rocker...
