Full size bronco 2023 big bend carpet

This is one row of a gathering at a big dealership over the hill I attended…turnout of about 40 broncos

My bronco is for off roading so most of my mods are for off road improvements (yeah i did a few for looks/personality too)…see signature below

Don’t remember the “first” thing but these eBay Sasquatch stickers along with the scrips were among them along with replacing the ugly big bend grill…so much more after…

I would think about getting uca now rather than later since ya are gonna need them anyway with your lift…might get a few extra miles out of your current tires 😜...anyway glad ya got it figured out…glad to hear ya got some miles on those procomps without troubles…

I reall liked my mustang gt convertible but when my back got too bad sit in for long thought about getting back into 4 wheeling with a comfortable bronco but ford could not seem to build me one…finally gave up and got one on the lot with my “must haves“….enjoy it way more than the wife’s bmw but...

If you have lifted it a relocation bracket will correct track bar angle giving you that feeling…the stock bushing are pretty good imho but I did go to core rear bars with adjustable double rockjock joints for no real good reason…the rear may move alittle smoother off road but haven’t really...

I pay little attention but my 2dr 2.7 Sasquatch big bend was getting in the 18s when stock…after lift and 37s it is now getting in the 14s…all on the computer (who knows accuracy)…and of course the driver makes the biggest difference (so the wife tells me)…

well incorrect camber can indeed wear tires unevenly side to side…likely the issue…

Caster has little effect on tire wear (tracking/steering yes) compared to toe or camber…I think it is more to do with larger tire diameter needing less toe/camber than stock…a good alignment shop can get it right (not just to stock spec)…good luck!

The correct answer to Bronco exhaust questions is “downpipe“…

I would go with the fe just for the lower miles and better maintenance…while the Fox coilovers are better, I would be upgrading either way…

Remove the crash bars…maybe a half inch+ lift

Went with the pro comp coilovers right off rather than zone lift…

I had an ex telephone econoline van back in my college days…great for my use at the time but it was a wreak…oil soaked clutch would slip over 60mph and it would foul a plug about every couple hundred miles…😜
