Goler was was really cool but nothing challenging. Ill Attach a screen shot from ON X of our route to see if its the area you are referring to. We went into Goler From Trona side and exited though DV National park.
Wife and I put a bunch of dirt miles on the Bronco this weekend with the local Bronco group. Friday we did a couple small trails off of the 395 before Ridgecrest, then went into Trona Pinnacles and camped for the night. From there we took dirt into Death Valley through Goler Canyon then camped...
It happened while making some mild passes down main. Bottom of main was upsetting the truck quite a bit since the shocks were still pretty far off, heard a pop and it got a little extra wild for a sec but nothing major.
Drove out to Barstow to test the new valving, looks like i went too far so it was kind of a waste. Ended up with all the tubes closed or close too it and was still blowing through it. But we did get the carb dialed in nicely, jammed around for a while before breaking the 12 year old hoopty sway bar.
Also, my top speed for that weekend was only 70-ish mph since it was running out of fuel after that. I wasn’t driving through stuff as fast as I wanted to, so it was a bit hard to gauge.
Yes, the rear could probably be dialed in better, but it’s always worked well enough for me to not bother with it. Front took big hits well, but was really aggressive in the small stuff. Hoping I didn’t overcompensate..
Hopefully I made the right move, was wayy stiff with .020s on compression even with all tubes wide open. Went to .012 stack, hopefully have some adjustability now and won’t be too soft. There is .008s in the coilovers if memory serves me correctly.
That's awesome! 2 door manuals are so cool, much more early Bronco like. Ya the wife and I definitely have a blast in ours, its far more capable than I would have expected.
Got the fuel system back together and she’s running great. Added a fuel gauge and AFR gauge in the cab to better monitor an issue like that. Having a tough time buying shims to revalve the 3.5 bypasses, but other than that it’s ready for more testing. Thinking Barstow soon.
