was going to mention something about bees hitting the local Chipotle, but that would be libelous, lol

Bees are pooping all over my Big Bend.:confused:

stayed around for the golden hour, then drove back to the Bay Area. Dash said 38 mpg average, including the off road stuff at 15-20 mph.

Looks like a gopher snake...no rattles, but pretty big, about 42" long.... Plenty of color out there

It's such an inexpensive thing to replace; I don't understand why people don't just do it. Toyota and Nissan apparently have had some issues, too, from what I'm seeing on the Internet, where everything is true!

Ended the day at Walker Creek; incredible viewing the fault offset.

Drove down to check out the wildflowers and the San Andreas fault scarp yesterday. Cut across from Soda Lake road to Elkhorn road; big bend handled the steep stuff with no problem.

Easy and cheap repair; only takes about 15 minutes to replace them. Only tool you need is a 19mm socket and 1/2" drive torque wrench. Plus, you keep the wrench and socket in the tire tray and it's better than that wimpy flex socket that comes with the car.

what did you air down to? 22 PSI?

Bought a 23 Big Bend near San Francisco, where we live, this year; with about 1000 miles on it, took a long drive down for my son's wedding in Tucson, taking 4 days to do some sightseeing/photography. Scheduled the first (2,500mi) oil change with Camelback Ford in Phoenix a week in advance...

Had a Jeep Renegade with a 6 speed manual; loved that car, but it didn't have a low low and actually struggled to get up super steep driveways. Traded it in for a Bronco Sport and have no regrets. Manual BS would only be good, IMO, if it had a compound low for 4WD; would appreciate it if the...

Wait..you got Big Bend and Badlands?

I kinda like eyore

Just installed the Draw Tite hitch; about $275 after taxes and shipping. There's a chinese knockoff that sells at Wallmart for about $100, but didn't want to risk it. Took about 90 minutes to install. photos show the reduced departure angle, chassis bolt on points and finished assembly. The...
