Wrenching in Garland if anyone wants to come practice on my Bronco send a DM. Probably be out here until 5 or 6.
Installing new coil overs and upper control arms. So far I have ave one side out
You're right! Found a video explaining LCA camber/caster adjustment with the eccentric washers:
I noticed those when putting the first lift in, but didn't realize that's what they're for. I had loosened them on the driver side to get the old shock out. No wonder the camber was so far off...
You're right the camber must be adjustable some how because I got it aligned at the dealer after putting in the 2" spacer lift (which I'm preparing to replace with 4WP coilovers and the above pictured UCAs). It was pretty bad after installing the spacers and the dealer fixed it all up...
Just got a pair of billet UCAs from RPG Offroad. They came unassembled and no instructions so I wanted to get some forum wisdom before I take the Bronco apart.
1. How is OEM camber adjustment made? There don't appear to be camber adjustment nuts anywhere. And the steel ones are one piece...
Are the 4wp coilovers the 2.5" VSRT? It looks like they come preset to 3" and can be adjusted up to 3.5". Did you have to do that for the 37"s to fit? Any rubbing? What size and offset are the wheels?
As a point of comparison: I have a Black Diamond no Sasquatch and I attempted to put in some 17x9 -6 offset Method rims (vs your 17x9 and -12 offset) with some 37x12.50R17LT Renegade tires. I did the 2" Rough Country spacers so I think ride height is pretty similar to your Sasquatch + 1" level...
Side by side of my Black Diamond on a 2" lift with 37's to show how much fender has been trimmed. The wheel well liner also looks entirely removed so you can see the engine. Perfectly fine for a rock crawler but can't imagine how dirty it would get if you get around anything wet or just...
4WP has a hidden winch that goes below the bumper. Looks very hidden, but requires a bit of metal trimming to fit. I think it's compatible with all bumpers, by it I'm not certain.
I also did Bob Utter in Sherman. Worth the drive up 75. No ADM or unwanted dealer installs. No games. No pressure. I was in and out of the dealer in less than 30 minutes. Communication wise they aren't very proactive you have to reach out to them for an updated but they have no problem putting...
Our other car (Honda Odyssey) has this same feature, but it's got a separate chime instead of using the horn. I wouldn't mind it on the Bronco if it had a separate speaker, or a dinkier horn. But the OEM horn is too beefy to give nice chirps.
I'm looking to start using Forscan for this...
I stumbled onto a set of 37's from a fellow forum member and jumped at the deal before doing that much research. I'm glad to see this video of someone showing the results with just the spacer and 37's. The Definitive Guide had me real nervous that I couldn't do 37's on a Black Diamond without...
Also as to the original posted question. I have had my Black Diamond for 3 months. At first I was having some buyer's remorse for not getting the Badlands, but I got my bronco out the door for $41,500. I got the one feature that was real important to me: manual transmission. And didn't get...
