The thought process is similar, You still pick a line and follow the same approach, but as you stated, our east coast shit is wet and our rocks move. We also have small patches of dirt in between the big rocks to make it even more challenging. So we have to adapt on the fly way more often...
You don't need a 4x4 to stick with this line of thinking.
Crawling over things taller than your ground clearance is what brings the challenge to Rock Crawling.
To answer the question on buying it back, I would ask a question.
What was the main plan for it?
Mostly street vehicle with light offroad use?
Or
Were you planning on doing some harder stuff on a regular basis.
If the first, Let, it go
If the second, buy it back don't worry about keeping it...
I got an email from Ford yesterday confirming my order for a Bronco raptor in Code red.
and now my account on Ford.com has a picture of that Raptor
it should be a Velocity Blue Basesquatch
so I emailed Chapman and am waiting to hear back
I am surprised she wasn't doing the classic Instagram @$$ shot.

Those flares are horrible. I prefer the stock ones.
I really wish someone would come out with something similar to the ones they had on the Sema 2Dr Bronco. The ones on the Fun Havers are close, but not quite as good.

The 3.0 just came out, so you can save some money if you get the one I have. It a great size and can fit on top of a Mini Cooper so there will be no issues on top of a 2door Bronco. I got it because it...
That bolt/nut set/I don’t even know what to call it, is horrible.
They would not survive the wheeling I do. They need do drill countersunk holes and use bolts that are Flush or slightly higher than the bottom of the metal of the plates
Found A picture from Clayton off-road. Notice how none...
Looks great. And those are quality spacers.
I have always used Spidertrax 1.25" spacers with stock rims on my Wrangler TJ Rubicons.
I run 37" Tires and have had zero issues with the spacers and am closing in on 100,000 total miles useage on 2 different Jeeps.
I locktite the acorn nuts onto...
That is how you do it. Well Done.
For me, I can cheat. If I have to go through water, I change my ride height from this
to this
That's how I increase my Fording depth by a full 1'.
:cool:
