The new Ford Bronco is simply awesome, blending the classic good looks of the original with a modern drivetrain. The 10-speed automatic always seems to have the right gear, and both EcoBoosts put out plenty of power. Removing the top and doors for the ultimate open-air wheeling experience is simple. And Ford’s new Bronco has luxuries far beyond those ever offered in the first generation, like heated seat, leather and massive touchscreens. Plus, available front and rear lockers, 35-inch tires and Bilstein shocks make it extremely capable on the trail. It’s little wonder that Broncos are in short supply at...

We are almost hesitant to write this post as the 1986-92 Jeep Comanche MJ is truly a hidden gem. Heavily based on the extremely popular Cherokee XJ, the Comanche was Jeep’s answer to the popular compact trucks of the era. It shared the same venerable 4.0L inline-six engine with the Cherokee that ran forever, along with much of its rugged drivetrain.

In the last quarter of 2022, Jeep sold only 1,462 more Wranglers than the Bronco, making it one of America’s favorite off-road-ready trucks. If the Bronco will ever surpass the Jeep Wrangler in sales is unknown, but both share...

Most of us know the importance of off-road lighting as it gets seriously dark on nighttime trail runs. The farther away from city lights and deeper into the boonies you go, the more important extra lumens become. High-output light bars, better headlights and other upgraded lighting options are a must to see where you are going and keep you out of trouble. Getting lost, driving off the trail or crashing into an obstacle are not the best things during the day and even less fun at night.To prevent any of those sketchy scenarios from happening, the focus is usually on...
