ERUPTION GREEN Bronco Club

[2023bronco]

I don’t blame you, I went with the satin finish so needed to do the whole body. Hopefully I get many years out of it

I have an appt. in a couple weeks... I'm curious to find out how long the PPF (expel) should last. I have 3m clear bra on a daily driver, installed in '09, and it is probably "permanently anchored" by now. Still clear and doing its job though.

I was told there is a 10 yr warranty on the xpel ppf from discoloration, cracks etc but does not include rock chips and damage from everyday use. The film can be removed anytime and the paint is protected under. This type of film is used on very high-end exotics and trust me they would want to make sure their paint is well protected during and after it is removed. Now James from TPC told me you have to be a little careful removing the film but I didn't go into depth on that part until I'm ready to remove in the future. Good luck - I LOVE it btw!!!

@Dan D. , was it you that made a request for a product that would cover up some of the area when the top was off?

This is something that appears to be for soft tops... https://amzn.to/3Wceo9j

So, I like to add touches to cars and trucks and jeeps I own. Like my Dark Blue Challenger had red highlights inside and out. I would like to do gold with my Bronco, anyone know of any aftermarket folks who do gold "stuff"?

I'll ask this of both OuterJersey and HeHateMe - have you received? Build date? My Eruption Green Sasquatch Badlands "built" on November 30. No shipping information at all since then. Promised by the 24th. Then on the 23rd moved to "by January 2" but still hasn't shipped and I'm in So. Cal.

Meanwhile, I've already got Method Wheels with 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers, RTR spare tire carrier and purchases with Camburg Engineering, BroncBuster, American Adventure Lab and Heretic Light Studio to kick it up! But where's the damn Bronco?

What lift are you going to use?

I got a call yesterday from my dealer that it was loaded off the car carrier. Waiting to finalize paperwork from them. I reserved July 2020, placed my order October 15 2022. Got build date of Dec5 and Vin by Nov 1 and landed in NJ 12/26. Wasn’t what I expected and the dealer even told me 6-8 months.

What lift are you going to use?

Going full BEAST mode (essentially a narrow Raptor that can fit down our trails). Fox Racing 2.5 Coilovers with Camburg Engineering UCA providing ~3" of lift. Dana 44 FDU + Spicer Extreme 32mm half shaft set (via BroncBuster). Full stealth wrap, etc., etc.

How did choose between Fox, King, and OME BP-51 coming soon?

How did choose between Fox, King, and OME BP-51 coming soon?

I reviewed a bunch of options for the Meanie Greenie - also King, Fabtech, Raflow, Eibach, Bilsteen, Icon, OME, etc. I wanted the Fox Live Valve system from the Bronco but they're not releasing it yet for public. Two great sources of information are Bronbuster and Motorosa YouTube videos. Not sure your level of info so I'll share a few pieces of advice (and for anyone else):
1. Bronco Sasquatch on 35" works fine. Nothing needed. Congrats.
2. I'm putting on 37's and off-roading. That puts inordinate stresses on the vehicle. If you're doing that, the MINIMUM spend is $400 for BroncBuster sleeves and a $200 - $400 body lift (which Broncbuster will also sell you and show you how to do). Ignore this advice at your own peril. And that basic spend will work fine for most people.
- Chase Gentry has an excellent video of when a "clueless" person lifts their (wife's) Bronco without reinforcing titled "Bronco Breaking Tie Rods in Uwharrie OHV area". LISTEN UP - that is Vaughn Gitten Jr. talking to you at 5:25!!!
3. I'm doing probably the MAXIMUM spend possible so, I wanted things that have been proven to work together. Camburg KINETIK parts are widely acclaimed and they're local. And Camburg + Fox are like peanut butter and jelly and work closely with each other. Yes, Camburg + King will work like peanut butter and honey. But that's not the saying and the small differences like reservoir location tip towards Fox IMHO. Motorosa has some excellent videos on all of the options out there.
4. The Dana/Spicer front-end (sold by Broncbuster) is about making those lowers "bombproof". Raptor level. Camburg only does UCA and I'm trying to avoid any breakdowns.

Hope this helps. I'm not affiliated with anyone. YMMV.
