cbw, Howdy, i lurked on GFB for awhile b4 starting my build.

Yes the front is cut and turned.
4.5" wider each side.

ARshaneH, I had a plug kit with me but the puncture was over an inch wide.

Do you have a special type of plug or technique to seal the large punctures?

Thank you, happy to share.

I'd appreciate it!!! The pics are awesome! So when is the dual spare coming? Gonna draw up plans and get it going this month. wants: dual tire 4 rotopax 4 gallon cans high lift jack mount shovel/axe mounts chainsaw mount think I only need to rework the swing arm as the rest of the bumper is rock so...

Pics not to bad considering its all iphone!!

Racetrack was surreal. Drove out of park, refulled in lone pine. Averaged 10 mpg, not bad. Another great thing about a bronco is rolling up the windows, turning on the ac and cruise putting in 5 hours of highway time to home. Great trip. Looking forward to next one. Have few mechanical items that ne...

Climb out of saline valley into hidden valley was awesome. Fun fast road sections. Was doing about 30 when a puncture to my left rear tire brought the fun to an end. Changed out no problem. Took it much more mellow without another spare after that.

Found our way through the wash out the next day. Palm Springs was fantastic.

Steel pass
The area had lots of rain a day or two before we got there and had washed out many sections. We got lost at night. No pics a bit worried we wouldn't make it through. So we found a nice spot and set up camp.

Dedeckera canyon was tight. A few step ups and then the canyon opened up into a nice alluvial plain.

Eureka dunes are amazing at 700' tall, bring a sled!
We got lucky and had several F18 Hornets buzz us at eye level!

had about 10 miles of really bad washboard and some wash compressions. Was running about 50-60, Went to press in brakes and found there wasn't much in the peddle, uh oh! Limped it back to bishop (50miles) in 4 low and prayed there would be enuf brakes to not crash into a wall! It worked out ok. Mr K...

Liked the look before and now, wow, looks over the top bad ass.

2" square and 1.75 round with 4 frame attachment points.
One time on rocks so far and it preformed well. No body damage. Some paint touch up is all.

If you are thinking of running a roof top tent you may need to modify your rack and decide will your tent open off the back or the side and which side will that be. Or else your tent will sit about your rack creating more air drag and higher center of gravity. btw that cage with how you tied the rac...

It could be Darwin in action!

your twice daily yoga/calisthenic routine, a two birds one stone kind of thing.

Feels solid and safe to sleep in, and the ladder is very strong and can be set up to support the tent if you want. My only concern is the fiberglass. It's plenty strong when your sleeping, my concern is bashing down a rough section and the dynamic loading that occurs. Keenanduran your cage with thro...

This is the wife's ride with the same tent as the bronco has on it. The LR4 is a great vehicle all the way around. But I wouldn't drive this vehicle even a quarter as fast as the bronco on rough dirt roads. Getting there is half the fun!
