Believe it or not, I'm still on the factory 35's. They were cool when they were fresh. In the video they have over 30,000 miles (religiously rotated and even flipped).
No tie rod or steering rack support. MY TRUCK STILL DRIVES STRAIGHT! lol
As for lifts go, the truck is rocking Kings with the...
Thank you fellow Bronco owners for your concern. I know it's hard to watch someone thrash our beloved vehicle that some of us waited years for. Not that I need provide an explanation, but I shall give one anyway...
I did it for the sake of science.
But no really fellas, I purposely bashed the...
That was the crazy man line. Never doing that again!
Here were my notes on why I didn't get up:
1) Driver mod lol
2) better spotting
3) better tires
4) better line
The truck did take a lot of damage which I wrote separate posts for which is somewhere in this thread. For seam/ pinch weld...
Tbh, I had no idea what line to take. I thought the guy who was spotting me knew what he was doing lol
Some air came out of the passenger and driver tire when I hit the rock, but surprisingly the tire didn't debead. Even weirder, the tire some how reinflated itself. I can't explain that.
It's...
I can't take too much credit. I believe some dude on IG with a similarly kitted rig was first and proved the concept.
However the real credit goes to the boys across the ponds. The Brits know what color combos look good on their square trucks
My mans! Is that a shock or a banana🤣?
Holy cow, how did you do that?
Thanks for your advice on how to bend it back. I've decided to hold off on hammering and wait till the reinforced replacement mounts from Barnes come in.
Thanks! I'm gonna black out the letters so it's a little stealthier. If you haven't ordered the light bar yet, I'd recommend digging around the webz for a coupon code. There's 20% off coupons floating around
Whatchu got cooking for your truck?
I happen to know of a fella who owns an offroad shop who kinda sorta does fab work 😎 lolol
As for the lower link mount, I'll either weld up a reinforcement kit or get a bolt on skid of sort.

SPC UCA Making Contact on King's Reservoir Line...
They recently took a beating and are currently holding up nicely lol
Here's a recent write-up on the sliders. Hope you find this helpful

Additional notes on SPC UCA:
-I love that the ball joint is easy to replace should it go bad. They also allow for a crap ton of articulation too
-They don't need to be maintained as often as their fancier counter parts from Camburg or Total Chaos.
-The arms provide a wide range of...
Sup folks!
I wanted to share my findings about running the King's and SPC combo. I recently came back from the Rubicon and discovered that the line was rubbed through a bit.
Conditions that caused this issue:
Fully flexing out my front from crawling the Rubicon
Sway bar was disconnected
Below...
@Hedrock Did a whole write-up just for you!

(thought giving it some extra skinny pedal would compensate for the lack of grip from the tires)
What's going on Bronco peeps! Just wanted to share that the RTR rock sliders CAN take a beating. Btw, I'm not sponsored by them. These sliders cost an arm and a leg and I was worried that I was sold...
@2020FordRaptor thank you for being the safety supervisor voice in my head. I needed that lol
@Bronco_joe I've been digging for this! Thank you so much. Gonna order and weld this up. I shall report back later.
@NJRoadkill I'm surprised there isn't a lot of weld-on reinforcement kits. In the...
Problem: My passenger rear shock mount is bent outward
Cause: Slamming down on a rock
What I need advice on:
Is it safe to drive on if I hammer the lower shock mount straight?
-Does anyone make a weld-on lower shock mount reinforcement kit NOT shock skid?
^Rear driver shock mount for...
