    Well, my Fab Four Vengeance bumper came in on Monday, so yesterday I installed it. Fairly easy install. I couldn't believe how cheap and lame the plastic rear bumper was. There isn't any metal backing in it like in the front. One of the nutserts stripped out of the plastic. Cheap. Junk. The FF...
  2. PandaPaul's Build Thread: Snorkel, 37's, Fox Coilovers, Icon UCA, Core4x4 Arms/Trac Bar, DV8 Bumper, Smittybilt Winch

    Yes, that's why I'm leaning toward OEM. However, OEM location is fine as well. I like the Fab Four. Haven't seen any reviews. I don't want to purchase a problem child (related to the rear sensors). Still looking for now.

    Hey Paul, your rear bumper is that the OEM "Steel" bumper. I have the plastic bumper on my BB and I want to upgrade. Looking at the OEM steel bumper. I've heard that it is mostly steel with a lot of plastic bits. So I might just go another route. But what do you think of it, if you haven't...

    Pandapaul that's an awesome setup! I love the snorkel but my family complained relentlessly about the snorkel on my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison diesel that I traded for my 23BB. I'm also not a fan of the snorkel taking up real estate that would otherwise be used for "ditch" lights but I still love it.

    Looks great, should look awesome with a bit of a lift.

    I bought Black Diamond 17 inch rims and the Bronco caps to go with them. Now my plan is to have the tires moved off the current rims along with the TPMS. Anyone know a tire place that will be willing to do the swap? The first place I tried was Tires Plus and they "don't do that any more". I...
  7. Ford transfer case skid installed on Base Bronco (with part numbers)

    Interesting. I have the ASFIR transfer case skid and I haven't crawled under the vehicle in a while but where does the end closer to the engine mount that the transmission skid caused the problem. Any pictures? Thanks! PS, I was looking at the install video. I don't see how it would be an...
  8. Ford transfer case skid installed on Base Bronco (with part numbers)

    Excellent. I went the Mabett route for the transmission skid first because I was concerned about the plastic pan of the auto transmission. Very beefy aluminum, I think it is a good value. Then because I have a 23 BBX with plastic bash plates (what a joke for an "off-road" vehicle), I added...

    Now I'm thinking that the rim only picks up about 7 lbs of weight over the aluminum. I may keep the tires and just switch to the rims.

    @pandapaul, one of the reasons I'm not really interested in larger tires. According to a post, "Black Diamond original wheel with General grabber atx (265/70 R17) weigh 74lbs." and this copied from a Bronco6g chart: Big Bend - factory wheel + tire = 58.25 lbs - factory tire 32" dia...

    Thanks for thinking of me. I have my eye on the tires and rims from a Black Diamond on the stock 17 inch black steel rims. I'm not ready to upgrade the suspension. Not sure what if anything I want to do at this point. I'm leaning more toward an aluminum Fab Four rear bumper (it's the one that...

    Well, in the short run, I plan to just mount the tires that came with my BB. I just like the look. I also found out that Pep Boys won't move your tires to different rims, so I will have to find a place that would do that. I'm not adverse to running the BD tires. I believe they are a little...
  13. Front Camera Washer Addition - What could go wrong?

    Well now, who would of thought that GM would rescue my project. Mind you I didn't intentionally look for a GM part but I couldn't find a Ford part in my search. What made it all work? Will first as you can see I cut the line that goes to the windshield and installed a T. After the T, I...
  14. Front Camera Washer Addition - What could go wrong?

    So I added the RC Winch Mount and Warn Winch. Seemed logical to add a front nose camera and I did. That works fine. Decided to get fancy and add a camera washer. I cut the windshield washer line and put in a Tee with a line to the camera washer. No leaks. NADA. Then I tried it with the...
  15. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    The Fedex man showed up around 1030 with my Hooke Road Bronco Front Overhead Storage MOLLE Panel. That was a quick install. Next I moved my 7 inch front camera monitor from the dash to some brackets mounted to the overhead storage panel. Now I can see up close much like I suppose the factory...
  16. Cargo Cover plates - Dual Top Option

    So it looks like there may be a Bronco god after all. It appears that Ford has recognized their error with a service bulletin. See the attached picture for the SSM number and the part numbers. Let us know how it works out for you.
  17. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Now it's got me wondering about the rear frame!
  18. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Not just today but it has been a busy week. I added the Tricky Motor Sports frame horn strengthening kit, a Chinese "OEM" HD Modular Bumper, Rough Country Winch Mount, Warn EVO 10S winch, front terrain camera with monitor, and ASFIR's 1/4 inch aluminum Transfer Case Skid plate. Does this count...

    That's awesome. 40lbs when you get it in aluminum.

    The Tally heat wave sure make me know I'm not 30 anymore, not 40 or even 50. I tackled the 23 BB ugly bumper (plastic - standard). It was very light weight something like 30 or so pounds. I installed my Chinese copy of the HD modular bumper. It's a lot heavier to fool with (100 lbs?) It's...
