  1. Tires, again...225/65R17

    Looking to get good winter rated tires for my Big Bend...looking to keep the original size as I'm pretty happy with the ride and mileage on the ProContacts, but have heard that they're not so great in the snow. Prolly will go thru this winter as I'm only at 9K. Noticing a big difference in some...
  2. Joined the windshield ding club this weekend

    Survived 6,800 miles until this trip down I-5. PING. Wonder if the windshield crack resin will help seal and stop it from growing. No change driving back through 108 degree heat.
  3. Mileage readout

    Always interested to see how the computer calculates remaining mileage in the tank; it appears to be based on the last X miles of driving. If you combine the miles driven on the tank and add the remaining miles, you can get some absurd projections; Saw 715 theoretical miles the other day...
  4. Rival 4x4 skid plate installed

    Bees are pooping all over my Big Bend.:confused:
  6. Carrizo Plain

    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.
  7. swollen nuts, lol

    reading thru the forum and realized I need to replace the lug nuts before it becomes an issue; fortunately, they're pretty inexpensive. I mean, really, Ford, did you really save that much $ by going to two piece nuts? WTF.
  8. Kudos, Camelback Ford, Phoenix

    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...
