I did that in my Mercedes. I was in the WV mountains on New Years Eve and the forest road was covered in ice. I decided to put my passenger tires on the edge in the snow and drivers' on the ice going up a little grade. The back end went sideways.
Thinking about it later, I probably would have...
I haven't run the Rigde Grapplers, but wet and snow seem to be an almost universal con in reviews.
I'm no fan of the stock GY's, but I think their traction is very good. I think they're too weak and I'm too lazy to want to deal with punctures, especially in the dirt! lol
I'll talk to them before i pull the trigger.
I always run the Goose Gear plate and Dometic 45 fridge. I'm going to be adding the Turn offroad tire carrier and 37's. I really need to get under there and see how much preload the shop put on...
Which springs did you go with on the Icon CDEV?
Do you have the rear sway bar?
I have the CDEV with all their tubular links (stage 8) on my '21 without rear sway bar or track bar relocation and am contemplating putting in the heavier springs to settle the rear a bit on road around town. I...
Me too, but I'm not running Ridge Grapplers Sliders. I've heard nothing good about them in wet or snow.
Looks like he's carrying a lot of weight on the stock springs, too.
I've engaged Baja mode at speed and don't recall ever getting that message. Is this from some new module update? I'm not sure I've ever tried switching to 4H in Normal mode.
I hate the you have to come to a complete stop for 4L. If I now have to do that for 4H I'm going to be extremely mildly...
It must use internal GPS receiver.
Exposing Bronco GPS receiver via USB interface would be wrought with issues from OS and hardware incompatibilities. Plus there was no GPS setup on the box to get it working.
I just put the tbox plus (carlikit) in my '21 LUX.
There is an icon to get you back to sync. I have the 12" screen and the sync tabs on the bottom are always visible, so I use them instead.
The camera displays just like stock, by either shifting into reverse or hitting the camera button. It...
It's been decades since I messed with tuning cars. I'm sure there is a lot more memory given to the maps these days that can cover a wider range of values from the sensors. Not to mention updated sensors.
I've had the FP tune for a while. I don't recall a sticker in the box for new min octane...
The idea was not to waste money on the perf engine tune if you weren't going to use it.
It is possible the stand-alone ProCal can do all other calibration changes, and even the performance tune if Ford allows you to buy it separately.
No information on the FP page about which calibrations are...
Ford Performance sells the ProCal without the performance tune for $500.

And with the performance tune for $825.

I don't know how you...
Yes, that is my reasoning.
I'm guessing the common 2.5 coil-overs, especially with remote resi, can handle the increases in forces from the weight of the portals.
Increasing the spring weight would help push the tires down to road surface, but if your Bronco is too light for the heavier...
I'm no expert, I'll simplify a lot, and most of what I type is conjecture, but...
Springs hold up the sprung mass and we're talking about increasing the unsprung mass. Increasing the spring rate without increasing the sprung weight will create a stiff ride. The R&T article mentions the ratio...
The greater unsprung mass makes it harder to keep the tires on the road (traction) and increases the work handled by the suspension (springs, shocks) increasing wear.

and are those 'grommets' similar to Ancor wire seal? I had never seen them before.
