    Any of you reservation holders signing up?

    I figured why not- seems like a free hour+ to put one through its paces, in an appropriate setting.
    I signed up for the Hollister run on Oct 23rd!

    I'm am legitimately curious as to what part of Hollister Hills the test was limited to.

    About 15 min on green/blue trails. We started near the Gran Prix Track entrance.

    There was a flex-and-stabilizer bar disconnect demo, and 2-3' deep water crossing.
    Bronco rep rode shotgun.

    I think a manual disconnect will do fine for me. People are already having problems with the sta-bar disconnect. I want less technology, not more on my off road vehicle. It's a neat device, but I don't want the extra weight and something expensive to deal with when it doesn't work correctly.

    I agree
    Tech is overrated a lot.
    But clever/dastardly options bundling by the manufacturer means you often pay for what you may not care for in order to get what you really want.

    So anyway, in this one case with the sta-bar disco, there was no drama.
