I'm a longtime Ford fanatic. I hope I can contribute to the forum. This is my first Expedition.

So did you roll the Bronco?

Nope, it's got plenty of power to keep the wheels spinning. 351w, Motorsports GT40 EFI, NOS superbigshot. Around 500hp on the gas. I used to have a sticker on the dash that said, "WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SIDEWARDS FLIGHT"

Welcome to the forum!

An offroad triathlon sounds really cool - what are the events like?

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone.

The Florida Safari Triathlon was a three day event. Two man teams competed in a variety of events including timed navigation, Time-Speed-Distance rallies, special stages including special off-road skills test such as sand drags, mud bogs, obstacle course, winch and Hi-Lift Jack rigging. The event included a 10 mile canoe race and other canoe events. The event also included shooting Sporting-Clays. Sadly, this event is no more. It was put on by the Florida Space Coast 4wd Club in the Ocala National Forest, in the 90's, ending in 2000. Denial of land-use permits from the National Forest Service did it in.

Here's a pic of a fellow competitor in an Expedition:
