Nice vid. Next time you wheel yank the front swaybar off ahead of time for some more IFS flex. Costs nothing and easy to put back on at home when you’re done wheeling if you’re so inclined to re-install it. Should also be good to air down to ~15psi before you have any issues popping a bead. Just...

I’m gonna call that driver error. The 37s didn’t help but you can’t just point and shoot on an obstacle like that…takes some finesse

The two 30K pound recovery straps I bought from Tractor Supply have no give either. It’s not a snatch strap. But it’s held up to *many* recoveries of 3/4 and 1 ton trucks over the past 5 years. The other one I have is still in the packaging. Never needed it.

Trail Ready makes great wheels. Did you check out KMC’s offerings?

35s will give you an extra 1” of clearance…

Bad ass. I’m here for it! And stop all the solid axle hate. Solid axles definitely have their place, especially on a wheeling rig with 40s. If you think not and that IFS is the end all/be all then you’re just uninformed. Can’t wait to see this rig on some trails :cool:

I used to wheel there back in college (2010-2012) with my 06 Power Wagon on 37s. Those holes can get deep! Ask me how I know…I highly recommend a winch/tree strap & a tow strap + 2 steel shackles if you’re going to be doing a lot of solo exploring. I ate through 2 synthetic winch ropes wheeling...

Congrats! I personally think the JL interior is way nicer than the Broncos…I’ve got a 392 on order. On the fence of keeping my Bronco order. The whole production debacle and the lack of a V8 have really made me reconsider keeping it or not. Might shove it to 23’ for a Warthog order but we shall...

Turn on your boost gauge and get used to looking at it. Shift between 3-4K RPMs and run in 5th if need be on the 55mph highways and 6th (if it’ll pull it) when on the 70mph highways. I personally wouldn’t pull faster than 70 on these short wheelbase vehicles. Don’t be afraid to run the 2.3 Eco...

If I was planning to build a Bronco to tackle trails like this…I’d look hard at a 2 door. The shorter overall length and extra breakover angle + a 2” lift and 37s would be 👌

New video of Loren Healy’s Bronco running the Rubicon at the Jeepers Jamboree. 2” lift & 37s:

Full synthetic every 5K. Ecoboosts like clean oil. Plenty of real world info to back this up, it’s cheap insurance. 7500-10K changes on Ecoboosts isn’t wise but do what you want with your Bronco…

The only thing I’m not 100% about is how much the winch blocks the grille. Might be an issue on hot summer days when running up grades and whatnot. Everything else looks awesome. Really like the coilovers and frame mounted rock rails :cool:

I did. Not looking back either. Might revisit the Bronco a few years down the road but I’m gonna avoid this dumpster fire of a rollout and top quality issues for a while. GF ordered a Bronco a few weeks back...I told her to buckle up🤣

Dana 44s aren’t gonna hold up to 40s if you wheel it even moderately hard. And half the benefit of the 40s will be negated with the diff drop that’s necessary for proper front end geometry. Not to mention the steering setup, tie rods, CVs, etc. If it’s a street princess 40s will be fine...

When my vehicle strands me 50 miles in the woods (which it did) in the winter with a clogged DPF and no cell service on a hunting trip in Idaho, I take a hard look at reliability improvements. I wish the manufacturers had more reliable systems in place where this wasn’t an issue. Don’t worry...

Do some research on the global shipping market and emissions before attacking me for deleting my personal vehicle. I don’t roll coal, I run a very clean tune. I drive like a sane adult and did this for my vehicle’s longevity. I, too hunt, hike & camp. Love the outdoors. Don’t love the virtue...

I didn’t ask for your support nor do I care if I have it. No emissions checks in my state on diesel vehicles so instead of dealing with a problematic vehicle I fixed it. Truck runs like it should now and I don’t foresee it leaving my possession for a long time.

I daily drive a F250 6.7 so I kind of know what I’m talking about. Also am partners with one diesel mechanic and am good friends with another diesel shop owner. They *all* have issues stock. I had emissions issues inside of 20K miles on my truck. Deleted that crap off the truck and I’m now at...

It’s not propaganda. Earlier designed Ecodiesels (Gen 1 and Gen 2) had a reputation for eating main bearings. The most plausible theory for this is the fact that the Ecodiesel basically cooks it’s oil even when moderately towing. Oil temps of 240-250 are very common. When the oil breaks down it...
