Father Son Trip in my new Wildtrak

HBhoneybadger1

Hello Everyone, I finally took my new Bronco out on it's first road trip. This was my Son and I's annual father son trip. We dedicated this trip to my father Arthur who past away last year to cancer. The first vehicle I drove was my dad's 1984 Bronco. I have a lot of good memories growing up with the Bronco. We took the Bronco on many road trips. My dad enjoyed traveling along Highway 395 and the Pacific Coast Highway in California. Last week, my son and I took the Bronco from Orange County to the 395 and camped at the Rock Creek Resort near Mammoth Mountain. We had fun in the new ride!

The Bronco is at 1,241 miles and I have exposed the Bronco to just about everything. On the drive up to the campground, the temperature was over 100 degrees and my average speed was 75 miles per hour with the AC going. At the camp ground we took the bronco off road at 9,000 foot elevation. We drove over sand, mud, and rocks. I used all the modes while driving through the famous Alabama Hills in California (near Mt. Whitney). The Baja mode is awesome!!

Current Issues: My MIC top just started making a very annoying creaking sound that is driving me nuts.

@HBhoneybadger1 I am curious regarding the roof creaking. Has the roof been removed? Have you been able to locate where on the roof the noises are originating, ie: specific roof panel sections, clam shell portion where it bolts to the body or the whole dang thing all over? I am also interested in your sleeping set up. Did you install any kind of platform to level it out when the seats are folded down? Thank you for sharing your experience. Looks spectacular!

WT...what kind of MPG where you seeing at 70? (Highway speeds)

I averaged 15 miles per gallon. Not bad for 35 inch tires loaded with camping gear.

I have not removed any parts of the roof and it seems to creek all over. During my trip I camped in a tent not the back of the Bronco.
