Neither am I, I've just been in the offroad world for that long. Are you just getting into it? Because up until the past few years Jeep has been doing the same old boring trash and doing things nobody actually wanted or asked for. I mean, they still pretty much are to this day, but now...
Curious to know what the drag coefficient is on the Bronco specifically.
I've had it to 107 with a steady 20mph quartering headwind, accelerated just fine up to the limiter.
Mine is certainly not a poster child for low drag, high speed, or even fuel efficiency.
My uploaded and digitized consciousness will probably be having too much fun with fusion powered hovercars and superluminal starliners to care about their kit for the Bronco. But I dunno, maybe I'll be able to afford the cloud storage to remember everything and I will reminisce fondly of my...
My dude, Jeep has been giving us the middle finger for decades, they were the only show in town. They didn't have to build anything to compete on any metric whatsoever, which is why we got shitbox minivan engines, had to wait years for standard Jeep equipment to show up on Wranglers, and only...
I went with the RC because there was nothing else even in the works at the time, and while it's fine for what it is, there's a TON of room for improvement. Lobo is definitely going the right direction with their idea of maximizing clearance and addressing the shortcomings of existing offerings...
If you want to beef up those frame horns, might take a look at this:

TrickyDick was making a kit to beef up that area too...
Supposedly the newer OEM rear swaybars will bolt up to a 2021 2dr with minimal mods, though I don't know how effective it would be compared to what rockjock could come up with. They look pretty flimsy and a PITA to install or remove.
The good thing about putting a sway bar on the rear is that...
I'd imagine it's got some serious performance with two 750HP engines for not that much additional weight than the 130. By comparison I'm running a single 750HP engine and carrying a 4500lb load on top of the 4500lbs that my plane weighs. She probably needs 1000-1100HP to really haul that kind...
Today I decided to bolt my swaybar back on, not because I'm taking it up north, but because my wife's ride needs new tires and I'm going to let her use it while I'm gone. For the same reasons you guys outlined, as well as the instability issue. Turns out it had nothing to do with the swaybar...
I'd like to think that the Walker links might reduce or eliminate oscillations because they're first and foremost a damper, which is primarily what's needed in that type of event. Body roll will force one to go up and one to go down, and if they've designed them with even compression/rebound...
Oh nice, I didn't notice that one had spades. I've looked into them, and the ones to get are the inboard style...but the STC was abandoned or something and that makes installing them legally questionable. The outboard ones are still available but everyone talks about how you'll be splitting your...
