looking at gaining some height back too. lost a good inch or more with my winch setup on my 23 wildtrak. even more when I put my cooler/surf rod rack up front.
I've seen some folks post up high winch mounts on the steel capable bumpers. therefore the front receiver should work. I came close to trying that on mine. but I found a deal on a modular take off and the ford winch package. Even without a winch I think the high mount would make a great mounting...
Love my @xrack.us stuff. I've run a front cooler rack on all of my previous beach buggies. Now with the front hitch and my x-rocket rod holders I'm making my bronco even more of a fishing machine. Now just to get back on the beach soon!!!I
Love my 2023 Wildtak. Wanted the hoss 3.0 I don't rock crawl. Mines a forest service road riding/ beach buggy. Just hit the 10k mile mark since purchasing in June. Never reset Trip 1 average since new 19.5 mpg. Check every tank and regularly get 20 to 21 mpg.. That's with trip 2 resets and often...
Your pictures. are going to cost me way too much money. already have your front receiver hitch. but I'm liking your racks a whole lot better than mine. especially since my biggest headaches are carrying my traction boards and my sand spikes.
As you can tell in my pictures. I've been running my cooler/rod rack in my hitch. i wanted it to swing away from the tailgate to have better access to my cooler, rods and the rear cargo area. If it swung the other way it would be up against the tailgate.
I have the other ones already which i purchased before yours were available. But I hate not being able to open the hood without removing them. Love the fact that yours allows me to carry 4 without that problem.
got your hitch already just have to get my winch installed. wish I had bought your trail sight rod holders. they weren't out when I got the other ones and I have to take them off ofcourse to open the hood. I can see that being an issue cause I'm thinking of adding on board air next.
jealous of your whole set up. I have the xrack reciever hitch waiting to install if I can ever get my winch mounted up. Already have my swing out hitch. but I'm digging how you have the Sand spikes and traction boards mounted. both are a pain to carry in the bronco. any issue with your spare...
Already a member although don't get to participate much cause I'm in the car business and work most weekends. I did meet several members at the Broncos and brews event in New bern. Love your build especially the velocity blue although I might be a little biased.
found a deal on the Ford preformance winch mount so I hope to mount it up and add the front hitch next week. I intend to use my swing rear hitch for my cargo rack. already use it for my pier cart.
I feel like 93 makes a difference though I've only ran one tank of 87 when i first got it. Ran 93 ever since. 7500 miles so far. Trip 1 average has been 19.6 mpg since new. Check every tank and they're ranging from 20 to 22+. All types of driving but mostly highway commutes with occasional dirt...
built several on line this morning. keyless entry keypad doesn't show up anywhere. I also see no option for the full time 4wd with 4A. All that's listed is part time 4wd.
Anyone know why Ford claims the winch package can't be added to a modular bumper that was not added at the factory. It's right on fords page that it must be a factory installed modular bumper. My parts guys and techs at my dealership have know idea either. I've picked up a modular take off and...
