Forgot to mention, I wanted it to be bolt on, and it is. It uses the 6 bumper bolts, and picks up a bolt using existing holes in the frame rail about 5" back for a total of 8, 4 on each side.
I built myself a winch bumper. I wanted one that didn't block the intercooler and doesn't stick out too far. I have a 2 door base so not worried about cameras. I intended for it to be as light as possible. Not sure I accomplished that at 95lbs. I used 2x4 rectangular tubing, 3/8" plate, a...
I guess technically, but they don't wear that fast. By rotating the spare in, the tires last longer, like 20%. Also if you don't rotate it in, the fifth will still be old and weather checked when its time to buy new tires, so you still need to buy 5. Might as well get some use out of the spare.
I changed the oil and rotated all 5 tires every 4k miles on my JK. The 315 70r 17 Duratracs had over 50k miles on them when I sold it and the JK had 187k. I plan to do the same with my Bronco.
Mine's a base so I don't have a handle but here's what I did.

I saw people talking about puma compressors on an overland site several years ago. I bought one of these and its been great. I replaced the wiring with a cheap set of jumper cables and now I can use it in the truck or Bronco.

My 2dr 2.7 Basesquatch averages between 16 and 17 on the lie-o-meter. Mostly errands and such around town. I have seen 20mpg after resetting it on the highway while traveling 45 miles at 65. I agree with the others 300 miles is the most we will see, and I'm going to be looking into a Jerry...
I subscribed to his channel, I think he is funny, and provides good info without the "sad ham" arrogance. As far as the radio goes, it works well, and for me 20 watts vs 50 watts is a non issue. The signal will blocked by a mountain long before power is an issue on the trails in the Sierras...
Great, I was hoping the known issues would be addressed in the MIC 2.0. I should have known better. My 1.0 is still quiet after my fix, but it sounds like I might have to deal with it again after it gets replaced...
I'm more of a hack mig welder, LOL. To be honest the plasma is also driven by a cnc I want. arcdroid, not available yet but if they build it I want one. I'm not willing to fund their indigogo launch, but I'll buy one if they eventually ship them.
I have mine, and after seeing the aftermarket bumper offerings and their prices, I decided to go DIY. I haven't started yet, but I did the same on my JK, started with a winch plate and constructed a bumper around it. At $3K I can build a bumper, and buy a few tools. Plasma cutter is on the...
Anyone want to share pics of their DIY 6G Bronco bumpers and or winch mounts so we can copy your ideas? Since it is what you wanted, and you like what you created, hopefully people won't dump all over your work.
Too late for you to use, but this guide might help others navigate the GMRS license process.
