This is an interesting conversation. I had always worked under the assumption that Reverse would be as robust as a slow forward gear. Granted the low gearing of Reverse would result in higher torque loads, which could explain damage.

Eek that puddle is a bit close to the lower wiring harness for my taste!

That does look like what I have in mind. For the most part it is going to be empty (maybe even detached in the back) and then get attached to grab random BS off of the trails.

Biggest selling point was not getting Chrysler sheet metal lol

I ordered the wired OBDlink EX which seems to be one of the listed options on the Forscan website. Hopefully it lets me do what I need to do!

I am not sure if the two crash bars are different distances from the center of the wheel or if they are placed in about the same spot front to back. If the rear crash bar is further away than the front one you would theoretically have more clearance. I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

The pin striping on the Ford letters looks stellar!

A canvas dump bag that attaches to the side of the spare tire, to be used as a trash bag. Plenty that go on the wheel surface, therefore blocking the backup camera. I want one that straps around the tread and sits next to the spare

Good to know! I don't plan to do anything too technical so I don't think I'll need anything more than Forscan.

Gotcha, they have a lower shelf but that might be lower than you are describing.

Wow, I guess I never realized FORSCAN isn't a Ford software

Eek, not sure that is worth the risk. It's a shame that Ford makes the software free but makes you spend $500+ to plug into it.

What is the cheapest reprogram tool that will work for a decent amount of time. No need for it to last 100 years, just need to adjust tire size, remove the warning honks, etc.

Not sure if this was always the price, but the link to an "affordable" scan tool is now showing it costing $534.

Check out the Mountains 2 Metal Flip down Attic shelf for an up high storage option. It flips down to access the gear.

True wheel width and offset will effect clearance. My thought is that the BB wheels are the same offset and width as the Badlands wheels, which ship stock with 285/70s.

Not sure I trust that second option, as it is showing the same bumper photoshopped onto a standard Bronco and a Bronco Sport.

The Rough Country Tubular rear bumper is closer. The first company to market a modular rear bumper that matches the nice smooth sheet metal bends on the front bumper will get my money.

If you are sticking with those stock 17" wheels there are a few options. For the super safe option that has 100% no rubbing with crash bars installed, 285/70r17 will be a good bet. For an option with a bit larger size but slight rubbing at full lock, 285/75r17. This also keeps crash bars If...

Looks like you have quite a bit of experience painting the grille surrounds! Any tips or tricks that made it easier to do?
