White rim as a whole is more than I'd want to take the sport on. (You also need a permit for white rim. It's something you need to plan for, and it's a multi day loop usually.) There are sections that you'd be fine on, but probably not the full loop. It's gotten pretty rough lately. 100% would...

You're looking for a diesel heater. Same idea, but pushes hot air into the tent. Exhaust stays outside. Personally, I think they're overkill, unless you're doing a lot of winter camping. However, a lot of folks love them, and they've gotten much cheaper and more available lately. I'd honestly...

You're likely seeing the smart charging system at work. If you run the car for long enough that the battery is topped off, it should drop back down to around 13.6v while the car is running. It should be a bit over 12v when the engine is off. In cars with active battery management, a high...

I have a big bronco as well, so I have the app. You're not missing much. It's fine, but it's not a great trail app. It has some trail reviews you won't find elsewhere, so it's useful in conjunction with other things, but it's not really competing with Gaia, OnX, or Garmin Explore. The best...

Yes, that's normal. "L" on the BS doesn't exactly mean what it would in other cars. It doesn't actually put it in 1st and keep it there. Even in manual mode, it won't really keep the gear you set it to. But it does mean "downshift and keep rpms high". That's useful in a lot of situations...

I have 235/65/r17 toyo at3s. They're good but heavier than the stock pirelli's, so I lost about 2-3 mpg. Some of that was the roof rack, as well. They're a great tire, though, and I'd definitely recommend them. I've abused the sidewalls quite a bit in the rocks and they've held up incredibly...

Waiting for a refresh is a good idea just for the infotainment system if nothing else. It should get updated and the current one is fine, but not great. Like others have already said, make sure you pay for the extra tech package to get 360+ instead of the basic "360". That's the one with the...

Yep. Distance / collision avoidance is radar, lane centering and other parts are based on the camera behind the rear view mirror. Personally, I love it, and the BS is way better than the big bronco in this regard. It's a pretty good system. It backs off gradually. Its closest distance setting...

Worth a watch! It's a badlands (well, heritage limited) vs the TRD RAV4.

I think the focus RS would have beat us there, but hey, that don't make it anymore, and it's just a lighter BS badlands, right? :p Nevermind, it's the 2.3, isn't it? Either way, the BS is surprisingly peppy.

Fwiw, your picture shows a standard Yakima setup. It's not especially low profile. I have the same thing. It's also lower profile than many of the crossbars, but it's standard yakima towers and a "b" size platform, iirc. It does sit on separate towers that attach to the rails and not on the...

I removed them from the stainless version on mine. Had trouble getting all of the residue off, but I didn't use a heat gun or goo-be-gone, and I've heard the combination of the two makes it very easy.

We're in salt lake, but definitely planning to explore a lot of different places now that we're out here. The Christmas trip I mentioned is actually down to the hurricane/st George area. Definitely excited about that!!

I've often said that the sport is the perfect vehicle for our lifestyle. I.e. living in a city with only room for one car, needs to do a fair bit of moderate offroading, needs to haul a dog and camping gear, needs to still fit in a parking garage even with a roof rack on it, needs to be able to...

Well, I mean, the 2dr big bronco is exactly that. As someone who drives both the sport and a 2dr 6th gen, the first thing you should do to a 2dr bronco is remove the rear seats so that there's at least some cargo room and a place for the dog. There's not much horizontal space in it. The...

This is also one of those "completely frivolous but so so so worth it" mods. It really does make your life a lot easier. I also went with the redline struts, but I assume the Ford performance ones are essentially identical. The install on the sport is really straightforward. More so than many...

I haven't had that specific issue, but the throttle response and shift points can be a little weird in normal mode sometimes because it tries to learn response based on driving style/etc. One quick check to see if that is the issue is to put in into eco mode or sport mode and see if the same...

It's also worth pointing out that public repeater networks are more of a community than focused on utilitarian communication. You can use GMRS for normal trail/etc communications and never worry about repeaters beyond occasionally hearing folks' transmissions from far away and being confused as...

I figured it was worth writing up a bit more about exactly what approach I took, just in case it's useful for someone else. Like most folks, I took the fuse tap approach and used fuse #3, which is unused by default and ignition switched. 10a should be plenty for a 15 watt radio and I didn't...
