I got this nice little ding climbing a really steep grade when my rear tire dropped in a hole and threw me back into a tree. The guy behind me said the tree kept it from continuing to roll back, so I will take the ding versus a roll over. Wife said, how did you do that without hitting the mirror...
Thanks. Bumper was an easy add, but you do have to cut off the welded in tow hooks that come with the plastic bumper. Other than that, it's just six bolts. Not having all the dang sensors also helped.
Our orginal order/reservation was July 2021, we made a last second change to the striped down two door from a fully loaded four door at the beginning of 2023 and I am so glad I did.
Sorry about that, I am just so proud of how it's turning out.
I ordered the spear kit from Underground Graphics, but he modified it to have the bronze with the black center stripe and then added the little mountain scene in the stripe towards the back to match the hood graphic.
The Script was...
Mine is really not a "Build" because I am just bolting on stuff to make it cool and perform better off road.
It started off as a stripped down 4cyl, Manual Transmission Big Bend. Only options were the rear locker, removable hoop step, aux switches and floor liners. I wanted to be mid 30s on...
My main choice is the Bilstein 6112's. The only issue I have with them, is the minimum lift for a non sas 2 door is 3.6 inches at the lowest setting and it is not recommended to use any other position. I guess I shouldn't complain about 3.6 inches of lift, but I don't like that the adjustability...
My deep dive in to suspension upgrades continues.
Has anyone on here installed the ICON EXP 2.5 for the Hoss 1.0. These are a bare shock that uses the factory spring.
The info comes directly from Bilstein via Shock Surplus. They did a video on the 6100 and the 6112 specifically for the Bronco Application. They had a very complete chart for all the different settings for the different models. He was very specific in saying that the 2 door Hoss 1.0 Suspension...
So, that is basically a 6100 Bilstein Shock with a Ford spring. $2100, fully assembled, but no adjustable feature. That is $300 less than the 6112's from Shock Surplus for the fully assembled set. Not a bad option, thank you.
Does anyone have pics of these installed on their 2 door?
So after researching lifts that I can grow with and expand on I was very excited about the Bilstein 6112's. But then I found out that on a 2 door, non SAS Big Bend, at the lowest setting you get 3.6" of lift and it is not able to use any of the other settings. This still really confuses me...
New to this group. We live in Tyler, wasn't sure if there are any others in our area. Also, does this group ever have meet ups at Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer. We are also interested in coming to the larger meet ups and possibly Bridgeport.
So what do you actually get with the purchase of a Bronco, the right to attend. If I pay for a driver and an under 18 guest it is 1000 bucks for a day. Is that right? I would like to for me and my son to go.
I took my 16 year old in the morning. We did the Offroad 101 class and then went on the designated trail for the Bronco Wild Fund. It was just us and one other at that time. It was fun and the free 1 year pass to Barnwell was a pleasant surprise. Last weekend we joined up with a group and got in...
I am running a 1 1/2" suspension in front, 1" in back and a 1/2" body lift. Running optional badlands wheels with the factory 285/70/17s. Overall pleased with the look and can put 35s on when the time comes. Bronco started as a non SAS big bend.
The 2 door just keeps bringing smiles. Latest updates, new Baja Designs Ditch lights and a sweet cheap Amazon Lift kit. We bought the MZS 2" level kit, but only used one of the top spacers on the front and the other one on the back. This gave it 1 1/2" in the front and a 1/2" in the back which...
