Smartest way. The auto is 69:1 crawl ratio but I think it is actually higher because they are using the 4.7 Sas Auto for the stats. Doin glight to moderate trails that is fine but going 37s I would probably skip 4.7 and do the 5.13s anyways. Have to say none of these numbers trickery...
From my understanding the only thing the Sas package adds over the Badlands is taller bump stops (less travel), spacer lift, removed crash bars and 4.7 gears. All the gear that has been breaking is the same. Following the design and buildup of the Bronco I would bet that their first plan was...
Really depends on where you live. When I lived in Az my RZR was street legal and could drive to the trail. As everyone has said you will never get a Bronco to be as good as a RZR or Maverick without dumping 50K into custom suspension, long travel shocks cut into the body. I will bet the...
Yeah and now more than ever if it is your DD. I have a stripped bolt that is on backorder. A bolt. Was able to get a temp from Napa but still. Some parts are hard if not impossible to get for Jeeps. The Bronco is going to be straight up impossible.
I guess you are stuck on the word car. We are talking about a Bronco and I am concerned about using something for what it was built for and not having a bar over my head. Kubota makes side by sides. Open top offroad. I am concerned about real world safety.
We are talking about offroad convertible vehicles or am I in the wrong forum? And a lot of 2 seater convertible cars have a metal roll bar over your head built into the seatback.
I am sure it should do well. Folding like that actually absorbs the energy. The only safety part that concerns me on the bronco is the roof. There is a reason almost every car that is a convertible has a structure over your head. There should be a cross bar reinforcing the roof and keeping...
Hard to say what hit him. It did also push in the tailgate and spare. Hard to say without the facts but it is a serious concern for sure. That hitch and frame should be super strong and cut into anything that hit it.
That explorer is so much better tuned for this. It keeps the body so balanced over the whoops! Bronco looks pretty poorly balanced for pushing high speed. Keeps bucking and nose diving.
Have had 2 XJs. Fun fact Jeep people hated that thing when it came out. It ruined Jeep for them. Now it is know as one of the greatest off-roader out there. Unibody can be a great thing. Keeps weight down and overall size as well. One of the first to go coil springs too. Fixed up even a...
Yeah, I know on the JK when they did the brake hold for the manual people went through rear brake pretty fast too and I would suspect 1 pedal would do the same. Really a lot of the features like the G.O.A.T. modes are for new people and just as you know learning when to use lockers sway discos...
My buddy who has a sail boat calls it a boat dollar ( 1,000) I agree with everyone, it is never over. The only time you stop spending is because you moved onto another rig. :)
Looks like an awesome product. Anyone looking at the 4WP lift should hold off. I know it is hard but that lift looks not tuned. This one still flexes in the front even with the added height.
Yeah, I moved out of CA over 18 years ago and never been back. So Cal had bad traffic but not as bad as the Bay Area. 12 mile commute that would take me 2 hours each way. Living in the Pacific North West working from home. Commute is 30 seconds to my office. 20 minute drive to a ski resort...
Sorry, I was a little high on my hand calc.s until the number came in. 807.29. The ramp was 23 degrees. I had to find a calculator to adjust down to a 20 degree ramp Bronco uses. There number for the 2dr 33" tire ( the one that travels more) was 700. Someone said the steeper ramp that was...
Kevin on litebrite actually did it. Lot of plugs and bailing wire. Sew it up with the wire and stuff a ton of plugs between the sewing gaps. Held air to get off the trail. Would not have thought that was possible.
