You can clearly see in the video that they are running a front swaybar. Perhaps it isn't the disconnectable bar or the driver failed to disconnect it. They might also simply be near the bottom of the travel because of the lift. The drive shafts are fairly short so your CV angles are going to...
I rode in a HOSS equipped bronco at KOH and completely agree with you. The HOSS suspension is not a sexy looking as machined aluminum coil-overs but it benefits from factory engineering and testing. It is impossible to overstated just how well sorted out the HOSS system works. Back in the...
Did anyone else notice that their 3" lift completely destroyed suspension down travel. That is lifting wheels high with just moderate articulation. I'm thinking that the factory Sasquatch setup will be the best for most people's needs. The extra lift and 37's will help in the big rocks but...
Is it just me or have modern engine compartments turned into a mess of plastic and electronic sensors. My '67 sure is a lot easier to work on. We won't discuss the differences in power or how effective the A/C is... :-)
Trying to lift the truck by the body mounted rock rail is really placing a tremendous load on the body mounts. You are basicaly trying sperate the body from the frame. Just another reason that I ordered a BaseSquatch. The aftermarket will have frame mounted rails within weeks of actual...
My thinking is the same as the OP. I ordered a 2 door, 2.3L BaseSquatch, with the only options being aux switches and headliner. The rest I’m planing on doing in the aftermarket.
I am looking forward to having 17" wheels on my BaseSquatch so I can properly air down. My Rover is running on 20" wheels with 275/55/20 falcon wildpeak tires (32" tire). The rover does great off road and is extremely comfortable on the dirt but it would be great if it was on 18" wheels so I...
I ordered a basesquatch and plan on installing an aftermarket hitch. The factory one is about a simple as they come. I'll be that the wire is stubbed out for trailer light already.
Exactly this including the chrome "Bronco" script. If I recall correctly from installing new chrome script on my "67, the original badge has a few locating pins behind it. We just need adhesive tape now.
I figured that I would reply since I'm the "random guy on the internet". Perhaps it will come as a surprise but I completely agree with you. The 4 vs 2 door thing is a very personal decision and often driven more by what fits that individuals needs. What looks best is purely personal and not...
I believe that rattle is the rear tailgate. I got a ride in the soft top bandlands at KOH and the tailgate rattled like hell. The rest of the truck was silent. I'm hoping it is just a reproduction issue.
I am one of those that enjoyed a 30 minute ride at KOH. You are going to spend a fortune trying to replicate the performance of that BL/Squatch performance with aftermarket parts. I'm not saying that it can't be done but it is going to cost more then you think. Ford really has this sorted...
I think that this is the best analogy to date. The bronco is far more comfortable and even more capable.
It depends on your usage. If you are going to use it on trails then drop down to a base and get the Sasquatch package.
Yup! Perhaps that gets changed in a production unit. The plastic...
My Rover is dead silent on the trail. Not a single rattle anywhere. Of course it would never go 60 mph through the bumps! There would be damage and not just a tail gate rattle!
It would change what I ordered. I would sell the Range Rover and then order a 4 door and use it as my daily driver. As it sits the Lux isn't really that Lux.
Not unless they change out or cover the hard plastic.
I was impressed by the leg room. it is far more comfortable then a Jeep.
