Nice looking Bronco. I sold my 2023 7MT EG 2 door last week, now thinking about getting one just like this because it's just a fun vehicle to drive. Really enjoyed the 7MT but may try an auto this time.
I installed the $99 one on day 2 of ownership 2023. Took about an hour for me to install due to having to remove a couple of lower dash pieces (not a mechanic/tech) Has never failed. Would do it again for sure.
My install did not go too well. You are correct in stating that the process is difficult. I would not recommend the Redline Steering wheel cover. The leather was nice but the stitching joint @ 2, 4, 8 & 10 o'clock are very bulky too me. I have their leather shift boot and like it a lot though...
You did a good job on that, it looks nice. I have one coming from Redline this week for my base, hope it turns out as nice as yours. Think I will take your advice and remove the wheel or maybe just remove their air bag & trim bezel.
Welcome sir. We used to fish Bull Shoals and the White River a couple of times per year. Now mainly fly fish the Spring River several times a year. I really like Arkansas.
I have one of each. I like the TS better for some reason but it is cold. The Boomba is not metal so its pretty much temperature neutral. Both are an improvement over OE.
I think that you are on the right track with P285/70R17 (33"). Like you I don't really offload but wanted to fill out the fender wells some on my 2 door base. Started with P265/75R16 on stock steelies and it was ok. Ended up purchasing a set of +25 or +30 can't remember 17X8.5 wheels and...
It’s not hard to install the new lockout lever. Budget Bronco has a YouTube video about replacing the shift boot that shows the process for all of it. You have to remove the boot so it’s worth the watch.
I ran the Boomba for a year and just replaced it with the Twisted Shifter. I like them both but wanted to try something different. Pretty easy to change out for a different look / feel. I prefer both over the OEM shift knob. Also added the aluminum lock out lever recently which is nice.
