    Grab handles

    Recovery gear: Hi-Lift Jack, Line, Shovel

    This weekend, we took an excellent class on using the Hi-lift Jack (lifting, casting, winching). Given that the BS doesn't / won't have a winch or rock rails, it was really valuable to learn how to use this tool on the Sport (hint: don't use the jack on those pinch welds for the factory tire...

    Learning to off-road

    Do you have thoughts about learning to off-road with the Sport? Any news about the Off-Roadeo? I think I recall the BS Badlands qualifies for that school. Maybe the delay in the Bronco is stalling the launch of the schools.
