‘25 Badlands with HOSS 3.0 I put the sway bar disconnect on my Wildtrak after I got it. With pre 25 badlands you could just as easily put a fox suspension on it. Aside from that it mostly comes down to wash out interior vs carpet, ease of cleaning vs road noise. There’s also sport mode for the...

Installed the Ford Disconnecting sway-bar on Aux switch 1 last night for the Wildtrack (Wildlands?). I'm not any kind of mechanic but it works great thanks to the instructions in this and a few other threads. Installation took me about 6 hours, I'm sure a good mechanic could do it in 2. The...

Do you always check the oil at the same temperature & at least 15 minutes after shutting down the engine? For every 100 degrees F of temperature decrease the oil contracts by about 5%, so if the jugs were outside in winter before you put them in that could do it. Also if you ran the engine...

Warn VR EVO 10S, buckle up winch mount, and metal tech frame horn reinforcements. It all weighed about 200 lbs. Keep in mind the front fender flares are 1” taller than the rear flares, so you have to subtract 1” from the front measurement if you’re measuring rake using the ground to top of...

I used the eibach pro-lift kit and put only the front springs on. I regained the 1/2” of front end height I lost to weight from winch sag and gained another 1.5” or so beyond that, which leveled the Bronco nicely. I don’t notice a big difference in ride quality after 1000 miles, it feels about...

Home Depot 3.5 gallon bucket (sawed off 5 gal) is the key, for me. No splashing onto the floor and no problem with the 1 qt per second drain rate. Just put the bucket under the plug and pull it. Might be a tight fit under a non-Sasquatch without a jack though. I like the cartridge filter...

Did the second round on my Wildtrak at 11,000 after doing it before at 3,000. Id say about 20% as much metal on the drain plugs and the transfer case fluid still looked pretty bright. Will probably wait another 20,000 miles. I did a few ~30” water crossings and partially wanted to check for...

Thanks @Ducati1098 ! In the meantime I attempted a krazy glue and slicon repair, will give it 24 hours to cure and see if it works without leakage. Side benefit is loosening up the fitting that's embedded in the window allows you to tilt the water spray more toward the center instead of...

Sorry, searched for this and couldn’t find it: on my ‘23 outer banks the plastic fitting on the rear tailgate glass wiper fluid hose snapped off causing the wiper fluid hose to dangle loosely. I don’t know what caused this, could’ve been baggage back there or just a lot of bumpy roads? ofc I...

While I know it’s not the most accurate I use this iPhone decibel meter for relative measurements and hold the mic of the phone by my right ear to take readings. At 70 my 4 door non-sasq outer banks is consistently 83 dB on studded cooper snow claws. Sasquatch Wildtrak 4 door is 3 dB higher at...

The Eibach pro-lift kit springs work on Hoss 3.0 and give you about a 2” front end lift and 1” rear. I just put the fronts over my 3.0’s. Or are you looking for even more?

I like my drinking oil fully leaded! Tastes great, less filling. You generally want less than 5 ppm per 1000 miles total wear metals. 2.5 would be a goal. So add up Iron, chromium, copper, aluminum, lead, tin, manganese, titanium & nickel. If you did 10,000 miles on the oil divide the total...

It probably doesnt matter much as long as it meets the requirments of API SP engine testing. If you plan to keep the Bronco for a long time I would definitely use the fully synthetic motorcraft instead of the blend but I think motorcraft oil is overpriced. I use Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy...

Front Springs only to combat winch/lights weight sag. Gained 1.9" on the front no effect on the back. Went from 3" rake to 1" rake. Full gas, 50 lbs recovery gear in the cargo and tires at 35 psi. Went from 38" to 40" ground to fender flare measurement in the front. I think you will look...

I’d park it level then use a tape measure from the ground to the top center of all the fender flares. Most people are pretty happy if all the fender flares are equal in height, which is still a slight rake. I think that’s about what you’re at and it looks good to me. You could always consider...

Someone correct me if I'm mistaken but, it could be an illusion due fender flare heights: The front fender flare is 1" taller than the rear fender flare when compared to the longitudinal axis of the bronco. You can verify this by measuring from the top of the fender flares to the body contour...

TL;DR put EIBACH PRO-LIF-KIT Front Springs Only on a HOSS 3.0 wildtrak with extra front end weight and got ~1.8" of front end lift. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My '24 Wildtrak 4 door front end was sagging about 1" from stock due to ~200 lbs...

Ok thanks, I’m having an off road shop put the springs on so I’ll see what they say too. I was thinking maybe just the front springs would restore factory geometry by taking about 75% of my rake out but maybe that much rake (2.5” lower front axle vs rear) is normal. Also don’t want to have to...

Thanks for the detailed reply! I emailed Eibach to ask about the HD springs and they said they wouldn’t work with anything except the Eibach coilover/struts. According to them only the non-HD pro-truck-lift spring set (This one) is engineered to drop onto the HOSS 2.0 or 3.0 struts. I think...

Hey guys, I have a ‘24 Wildtrak 4 door. I put ~200 lbs of lights, winch, winch mount and frame reinforcements on the front with the modular bumper. Measured axle center to the longitudinal body line that runs above the door handles, my front rake is about 2.5” (lower in the front). 1.5 if...
