Where you located? Now that my BAMF front bumper arrived, I want to upgrade the rear too. We can work a deal if interested.
My Badlands came with a steel capable and the steel rear bumper.
Just my 2 cents but the DV8 only saves you drilling holes or buying the plate with the holes...
I think most tire manufacturers will show an 8” wide rim as being in the recommended wheel width range for 12.5” tires. However, they will be on the smaller side of the range.
The factor that is often overlooked is that tire manufacturers specify both a measuring rim size and also a range of...
I’ve seen that video too. I personally walked away with more questions and doubts than confidence that pizza cutters were superior. I agree that in his limited testing the results supported his statements. I just think you can rip that apart with other variables that wasn’t mentioned or tested...
Glad you jumped into this conversation. We have talked a few times and I’m still not clear if the HD springs you guys offer are the same that the OP referenced when this thread was started. I don’t see an Eibach part number on your webpage to compare.
A few posts in, there was a screen cap of...
Appreciate the feedback after install. My BAMF bumper came in recently so this is now more of a priority to get squared away. By chance, do you have any feedback on nose dive mentioned by others? I will also be running a Warn 12k.
Also did you get the 37’s installed? Any change in ride quality...
All good points by @Brian_B.
I might add to restore a little bit of the loss you could get the Ford ProCal tuner. That will allow you to change your tire size so the computer adjusts your shifts, speedometer, etc. Also you normally get some small performance gains.
The tuner isn’t a fix for...
If MPG’s are your main concern than any 35 is going to disappoint you. It’s not just weight but also larger diameter that changes your leverage/gearing effect and creates more strain to get rolling.
Sure, a lighter 35 will do better than a heavier one but you still get dinged for diameter...
I really, really wish that Method would offer something in the +12 to +18 range.
My two favorite wheels are the 703’s and Icon Rebound Pro because both offer alternative bead lock solutions. Neither are offered in my preferred offset. I don’t plan on going 37’s immediately so technically the...
That is correct. With the 703's the math gets easier because they are the same wheel width as the SAS wheels. The +35 Methods have 5mm additional positive offset over stock SAS wheels which is why they tuck in about 0.20" (5mm/25.4 = 0.196xxx). The formula is calculating to precision but I...
Several different styles & offsets being discussed. Don't forget to account for wheel width in your think process. For grins, I ran a sample wheel in 17x8.5 against @Fordified1 wheel in 17x9, both with +12 offset.
Against the SAS wheels (17x8.5, +30) the 8.5" variant gives you 1/4" additional...
Looks like Method has a new bead grip offering. Anyone running one yet or seen one in the wild?
Looks like titanium grey or black are color choices. Some of the stand alone photos make the grey look a little lighter but I think the titanium’s are on the red Toyo and they look very dark in...
For the money, RTR is hard to beat. Around $270/ea and weight is either 22.5# or 26# depending which wheel you select.Also they are hub centric. Plus have good rep. And not hard to find at least 10% off.
Another good option is Method. They have several wheels. The 703’s are popular and around...
I bought one from @HBTFD that fits the capable and modular bumper. No drilling required.
I got a new bumper and winch now and will be changing setups if someone is interested in this one. I don’t think he is selling them anymore.
Looks like a blast. Kudos for pulling together such a good event!
The green Bronco made me chuckle. Reminded me of the Gone in 60 Seconds scene near the end.
My new bumper can only fit 2 squadrons, 1 on each side. I would think I need a very simple pigtail for this setup.
Below is a reference picture of the new bumper I am swapping to from my capable.
Parts continue to trickle in as I prepare to swap out my front bumper. Tonight’s package was the BD Squadrons.
I need to read the instructions and figure out how to tie them into the factory fog light harness. My Badlands came with the capable and factory fogs so it’s just a matter of tying...
My BAMF bumper I ordered about 5 months ago showed up last week. The capable will be coming off but I am running BD Squadrons with the BAMF bumper and would like to wire up so the lights use my factory wiring.
@SPVPARTS is the wiring harness available for sale by itself? Or is there a...
