@KermitBronco ULTIMATE Badlands Build

[KermitBronco]

Great time "testing" Kermit out at United by Bronco ahead of a Baja Run in late June and some other looming adventures.

Ran the Chute a few times and then went back and ran it at night as well plus some rock crawling and high speed driving. Good times!

Two things learned:
1. Still need some further tweaks to the suspension to handle "woops" at high speed and tame that Dana 60 weight when off-loading. Solution: Fox Racing suggested to send the suspension to Accutune in San Diego so that is about to happen.
2. We need ~100hp more. Not sure we can fully get there but we're gonna try over the next few months with Injen, Whipple and a Ford Performance tune.

OMG! Just back from an epic week in Baja with EXO putting the pedal to the metal. Already scheming on how to get back! Best run trip I've ever been on and Baja is magical.

Great video from Baja. Looked like a fun trip
@KermitBronco what is your take on the accutune work on your fox’s? What change have you seen from that tune?
Also, how have you like your camburg trailing arms? Any noise and vibration you’ve experienced?
Thanks for sharing - great build.

Thanks for the questions. I've had a busy 2025 with the rigs:
1. Never got the Accutune. It's on the list but not a priority as Kermit drives well and rock crawls exceptionally. Kermit is officially now "full time USA only""
2. Kermit is just too heavy and too narrow for really hauling through Baja whoops. I purposely never put portals on the rig to keep narrow for Sierra trails and Colorado shelf-roads. So, bought a '25 Ranger Raptor which is significantly lighter and far more powerful. Fox Live Valve suspension, slightly longer Eibach front springs and Foutz Motorsports Bump Stops and, of course, 74weld Portals and 37" Falcons plus some AAL stuff make this truly a "weapon of choice" for Baja fun.

Do you want to sell your old uppers?

 

[KermitBronco]

I'm about to sell everything! Yes.

Been too busy at day job and everything came on day 2 at BajaHQ after driving 42 miles to their shop.

It would be great if you have upper and lower arms, want to put them on my bronco to make it wider by that 1.3" what else ya got??
