I'm at 43K on mine and there's still a ton of tread left, even after running them for a while at the overinflated PSI that Ford recommends (32PSI seems to be ideal for tread wear). For sure I'll get 50K, looking like possibly 60K. I often leave some of that rubber at stop lights and the...
Having spent more of my life on 35"+ tires than not, I can unequivocally state that these tires are the only ones that didn't feel like 35's. They feel like street tires and have none of the bad manners that tires this size or larger have. When you factor in the street qualities you get from...
I get flashed occasionally when I'm on remote highways with no lights in sight, particularly if there's an older vehicle with halogen lights ahead of or behind me because it looks like I have my brights on in comparison. I usually just flash them back and they get the idea. If that doesn't...
Apparently that wasn't a problem with mine, because I never had to do anything to it and there were no clearance issues in that area. I still have the overhang and it's not contacting anything, the winch tray lip clears it by about an inch.
Given the same tire sizes, portals can be utilized to increase wheel travel over comparable a-arm widening, you just need to figure out how to get a taller shock tower in there. Portals give you tire clearance during compression, which means you'll be able to compress further up than you would...
This is a new one for me, what is this plate overlap that needs to be ground off? I have a RC 2.7L kit and all I did was remove the frame horns as the instructions said. The fit is kind of trash on it and that has me thinking RC must have updated their kit or instructions to address that.
I got as far as making the measurements, and considered welding up a plate steel subframe but couldn't figure out how to address the fit inside of the rails as that piece needs to have a slip fit on all sides to be structurally sound. I decided it would probably be better to have it CNC cut...
What I found interesting about all the trailing arm bushings is that they don't rotate or move at all, they're completely locked up with the arms and axle, all that rotational and flexing movement is entirely rubber deformation and nothing else. Those bushings will suspend the axle by the...
I think part of the problem is that people are attempting to maintain some semblance of digital functionality with these swaps and it's essentially impossible unless you're a lead engineer at Ford. The other part is that you can't just drop a standalone crate engine into a Bronco and expect...

Aren't you worried about destroying that thimble stop on everything sticking out like that?
Yankum makes a fairlead that'll significantly increase your clearance while protecting your line, and give you the option of not having to use metal shackles or hooks either. You...
This is the kind of service I expect from my dealer. They should be able to predict what I want before I want it and have it ready to be picked up months in advance of me figuring out how to come up with the money to pay for it. I should be out enjoying and driving my vehicle without having to...
I mean, if we're going down that road, it needs a sweet supercharger whine while it's aggressively camming out at idle, I think that would be enough to rectify the V6 exhaust sounds. The little hairdryer noises coming from these tiny turbos just aren't doing it for me.
I'm sitting here looking at the narrow windshield vehicle on your profile pic and reading about your complaint of the Bronco windshield being too narrow, and the irony doesn't escape me.
You're not going to gain any visibility whatsoever by dropping the dash further down unless you consistently...
