I am looking to further harden my Hoss 3.0 / 74 Billet Rack steering system. My initial reseach has me considering something along the lines of: PSC SR series power steering resevroir PSC-4300 Sterling Cooler PSC - Custom hose to fit 74 Weld Derale 80202 Thermostatic electric pump PSC-41200...

In my opinion it comes down to gearing. I have 38s but with a 5.38 gear ratio. This gets me out of first and into second at about 10mph. Under on road conditions I never need to downshift to first and can safely stop from second. Things were different when I had 4.7 and 35s and 4.7 with the...

Personally I need to replace my insurance as Geico won't insure above the original purchase price and I'm taking much more of a self insurance risk than I feel comfortable taking.

If anything younger drivers should pay lower rates as most won't be able to figure how to get it out of neutral.

I was surprised that in NY State the insurance company never asked if the Bronco would be used off road to take into consideration for the policy cost. Removing my fiancee who never drives the Bronco from the policy did reduce the rate. I broke up with her, now charge her rent, and she is no...

Good idea. Would trading it in towards a new Bronco provide a greater return as the sales tax will be less than paying sales tax on the entire vehicle?

I know that the accurate answer will come from our individual states and policy provisions but I have a general question that hopefully someone can answer. If someone has a policy for an example for a vehicle with a purchase of $50k. They subsequently add $25k of 3'rd party modifications. In...

I wonder if the collision rates are as bad for the 2 door Broncos and especially manuals are much lower. Not because of any engineering difference but simply because we are the cooler owners :) What I would like to see is some third party come up with a way to increase driver protection after...

You are correct! I didn't say 8 cylinder. That would make an incredible motorhome upgrade but I don't want to loose the 8.1 mpg fuel efficiency that my finely tuned engine gets-lol.

This is what I am running but there are other equally great brakes for our platforms from companies like Wildwood also. My choice was for only parts manufactured in the US and at the time that limited me to Baer...

I did build my Bronco into as much of a 'race car' as I knew how to but it is the normal legal on road speed driving where being able to stop in less distance is where I find the most comfort having them. Safety from other drivers stopping suddenly, wandering deer, children stepping into the...

Drive a Bronco with large rotors and calipers and the difference will be immediately and significantly noticeable. I didn't feel I had any problem or issue with the stock brakes when I decided to upgrade but I did not want it to become less safe when I lifted and went to 38s. When I had them...

IMO Big Brakes were the single most significant upgrade on my build. I have a big turbo, downpipes, water methanol injection, a racing clutch, tunes, Dana 60s, 38" tires.... If I could only have one of these it would easily be the bigger brakes. On road you definitely notice the much...

I have noticed a trend, most people who remove the crash bars add bigger tires and keep those tiny baby stock brakes doubling the unsafety factor.

This is for you Paul- An EM-50 Urban assault vehicle on fire. This is my model motorhome but fortunately mine didn't catch fire. My Bronco is a fun 5800lb toy, my GMC motorhome is a 26' 12,000lb sports car with indoor plumbing. It is a front wheel drive with the same powertrain as the...

I get the same sort of feeling from cable news :)

Thanks. What I got out of this is yes I was hearing about a lot more totaled Broncos but that the reason was related to supply chain issues rather than issues relating to the vehicles themselves.

My question had no specific purpose other than just to learn for my own interest. My question wasn't about on road safety or the fact that we sometimes do damage because we tend to do things far beyond how most other vehicles are used. This is just a random Bronco fire I googled as an example...

I've seen quite a few posts of totaled Broncos and Bronco fires. I know nothing about other vehicles but are our vehicles running with a higher rate of totaling than other vehicles or is this just the average automotive industry rate of incident?

The 2.3 with downpipes make a huge difference.
