I met a guy 2 weeks ago with a Wildtrak in 37s running Eibach coils. I said it looks kinda tight up front and he said yeah AND his coil adjustment is maxed out. I was shocked. And he did have an aftermarket front bumper but not super heavy one. He also had the JKS kit installed. The only...
@GrumpyVet
This thread helped. All this time I’d been using the stated Sasquatch height as WITHOUT roof rails cuz you can’t order a SAS today w roof rails. So really a SAS is 78.7” MINUS 3.386” which makes the roof top 75.3”
So now add 75.3 + Gobi 5.5 (to the crossbars) equals ~81”. Add 10”...
Ok. More questions:
We might be talking apples & oranges. We know the hard top is not even from side to side. The center dips down when compared to the sides nearest the windows…..right? Maybe it’s super small?? I don’t know what this delta is but I think when FORD quotes max height of a Bronco...

Every Bronco I've seen with some sort of slider/step but NO mudflap, sees no improvement from the rooster tail of crap thrown on your Bronco. I think mudflaps are the only full proof way
Good solid points. I’d like to know more about the pin material on the Raptor vs non. Is HB designing a new hinge or just using Raptor?
I’m recently retired but spent 35yrs designing aircraft for Boeing, much of that in door and wing structure/mechanisms.
I will point out on my diagram I...
I have been perplexed about this tailgate hinge load from the beginning of when the forum started talking about it. As an engineer these things swirl in my mind and I must solve "my concern".
I created this picture to try and demonstrate my thoughts. Upper picture is no reinforcement and lower...
Update Plan:
1) Tires/Wheels on their way (KM3 37s + Black Rhino Abram w shiny bead)
2) RTT on it's way (Freespirit Evolution Ver 2
3) Gobi Rack
4) ORACLE Ditch Mirror lights ordered
5) RCI skids, sliders on their way
6) Light Plan (Vision X: 4.7” light bar pods, 4.7" A Pillar, 3" Fog, Rear...
