Aesthetics and lower center of gravity. The larger the body lift the larger gap you have to fill (or look at).
A bit of a trade off. Less positive offset, probably 0 as opposed to +35, will be through spacers or new wheels. Also increased scrub radius by pushing them out with some additional...
Kudos to FP, they came through for me. Got an email confirmation today around 3:30pm indicating my 2/7 order was cancelled per my request.
My TOR brace is supposed to be here this Saturday AM. Fantastic customer service.
2/18 @ 10:07am = received custom invoice
2/18 @ 11:09am = confirmation of...
Ohhhhhhā¦.hot diggity dogs! Didnāt know it was just a few days away.
Sounds like the flower guy is going to screw up a delivery to the wife. Thankfully I will be able to use the top that will be coming instead. ššš
Agreed about making it stronger. Also more modular as HB sells additional brackets if you want to add more stuff.
The thin gauge metal/aluminum and plastic of the exoskeleton doesnāt sit well with me and the primary reason I am cancelling my FP order.
I considered doing the HB brace like you...
Hinges in this kit are the same as Braptor hinges. Approx $220/each. The value of this kit is the hinges IMO, especially if you couple with a HB brace.
Also HB has 2 different tailgate braces. One for regular hinges and one for the upgraded Braptor hinges. Thread below is the journey of how the...
Love to see you guys following other threads and trying to prevent unnecessary grief.
Still holding out for a safari top that is vinyl & not mesh so it can shield from rain in a pinch.
See post #252 and #264. Also a few pics afterwards that show it.
I decided to cancel my order this AM and going with the Turn Offroad brace & hinges instead. I just want something much stronger and more bulletproof.
We will see how it works out. Ironically, after FP auto canceled my first...
@kingcon99 most forums donāt allow direct video uploads. The easiest method is to upload to your YouTube account and then share a link.
Also give TOR a chance to resolve. I bought one of their rear bumpers and sent an email about some discrepancies on 12/23. I received a call the morning of...
Even better for you guys. Didnāt mean this in a negative way towards you or your deal. You just happen to be a convenient data point.
Getting closer to 22% off narrows that gap even more as the prices being discussed for $70k-ish on a Raptor isnāt OTD with taxes.
When we get done doing voodoo...
There arenāt any Bronco groups around me so Iāve joined a few Jeep groups and occasionally go out with them. Like most things in life, there is a mix of inexperienced & experienced. Overall, decent folks though.
Not sure I have laughed harder when one of those inexperienced guys posted up a pic...
I bought some of this to use for nicks & scrapes on my rock sliders but have used it on a few other projects as well. Cut the wings of my stock skid plate. Had to grind and enlarge a hole on some frame horn braces. Only takes a few minutes to shoot a few coats and dries for a good match...
Appreciate the honest feedback and share of info. Iām in a similar boat. Upgraded to 37ā Yoko Geolandar MTās and still running the stock stuff. Something is better than nothing. My tires arenāt crazy heavy but around 76# each which I believe are heavier than your KM3ās.
I need one of those...
American made? What type and how thick of metal is used for the cross brace? What kind of strength will the cross brace add? Just enough for the molle bracket or help stiffen the chassis too?
Thatās pretty thin. Less than 1/16ā thick. Mine hasnāt arrived yet, but this seems disappointing.
Do you think coupling with a heavier built exoskeleton like the Hammer Bilt one designed for the Raptor hinges would be better?
Several interesting approaches. My thoughts was to use my floor...
