When I got mine, they had a limited lifetime warranty, now it's down to 2 years. Can't imagine that means anything good for the quality.

Positive offset is toward the vehicle. Our +55 or +30 is fairly tucked. +10mm is 45mm further away. Removal of crash bars may be required by the greater swing.

Usual failure mode on these is water intrusion, which should have little to do with your modifications. I am on Eibach coilovers (but stock tires) and they didn't mention it. They replaced my entire disconnect assembly and harness under warranty.

Still on 285/70R17 BFG KO2s for now. They're polite onroad to be sure and they bite great on rocks, but they don't handle mud as well as I would like.

Maybe ask them not to install your front plate mount too. They drill right into the painted fascia under the grille 😱

These motors tend to fuel dilute pretty fast, so even if the oil was good for that long, it's gonna be cut quite thin by gas by then.

I believe AutoZone's internal communications suggest an absolute best case scenario of 40% reduction in lubricating oil availability - that best case is now physically impossible. Even if the taps were opened instantly, right now, we haven't even begun to feel the real hit.

China beat me to the punch. I still haven't installed the actual snorkel, but I have all the parts. I can thus translate the corpo-speak for what this actually changes: optimized air intake path - It goes through the snorkel now. a redesigned airbox layout - The lid goes backwards now, to the...

I would only pay more for a winch if it was a premium one. During my initial search I turned down a Bronco that was otherwise perfect save for the Badland winch on the front.

They're gonna find out you went to that island. Ontopic - there are also a lot of older threads on this topic if you do some searching. You might find some more ideas there, but then again many of us post every time they come around. Surprised we haven't had a sponsor or two drop in and try to...

Yes, of course. I am kinda into those new Badlands wheels. Maybe they'll stick around for a while and become cheap takeoffs... 🙏

Stock

"Guess the weight, create the label, and mark it as shipped" is a classic strategy to buy time when you're severely behind, but shipping companies got tired of catching the flak for it - thus all the new disclaimers on tracking pages.

Simulated simulated beadlock. Someone call Xzibit! e: maybe you could sell full beadlock versions ... maybe even extra rings to "convert" them.
