Best snow vehicle I ever had was an ‘81 Bronco with a 300 inch 6, manual everything, and new Bridgestone winter tires. Not to mention rubber floor mats, so there wasn’t any wet carpet smell.

Going to make a set of those first thing tomorrow! Thanks!

Back in the day, my full size Bronco had roof racks wide enough and long enough that I could tie four sheets of 3/4 inch on and be perfectly secure. Later on, I managed to get two sheets home on my Explorer. I thought my DIY days were over, but apparently not so. Has anyone carried plywood on...

The gas companies change their formulation seasonally. You may be noticing the difference between winter and summer blends.

Wow. Bits of bodywork blew off in a strong wind? That’s scary.

Chevy told me my 2012 pickup was “fully protected”, but in fact “fully” meant, “well, more or less sometimes, but maybe not too”. So I switched to Ford. Chevy phoned regularly for at least five years, but I never went back. If Ford can’t or won’t fix the electronics/computer problems I’m...

One year old 2023 Badlands with 18000 kilometres just lost most of the functions of the center display. Cameras work, but GPS is dead, phone, radio, etc. The “check back seat” is dead too, but I don’t miss that. Is there a Reboot button somewhere that might bring things back online?

Forscan. That’s funny.

If I had the time, tools, money, etc, I’d drop in a 302 V8.

So I guess I won’t chain up the front wheels when the road gets drifted in. And perhaps I should check rear wheel clearance as well. I miss my ‘89.

I carried around a set of tire chains for my ‘17 Escape, but never used them. The Stealer who sold me my ‘23 Badlands assured me there wouldn’t be a problem putting them on the new vehicle, so I didn’t dig them out and check until yesterday. ? Guess what?

When I had my 81 and 87 Broncos, and my 00 and 10 Explorers, there were some real choices in after market options, and the options made a noticeable difference in performance of the vehicles. and now……. we change the color of the lettering on the tailgate. ?‍?

I had foldable headrests on my ‘19 Escape Titanium. I was led to believe my ‘23 BS had all the bells and whistles, but it doesn’t, and having to roll the front seats back and forth is probably one of the more annoying non-features. Speaking of annoyances, is there a way of getting rid of the...
