There are currently 886 NEW Broncos listed on Autotrader within a 500 mile radius of Las Vegas. I am very certain you could get exactly what you just ordered today just by calling around and setting up a deal over the phone.
It might take a week or so of calling around and scrolling the...
Also keep in mind the tires on a raptor are soft C rated BFG 37s. (Flexy Small Diameter)
What would be the flex numbers if the other rigs ran smaller tires?
What would the Raptor numbers be if they ran heavier sidewall E rated Nittos?
Thanks again for your breakdown and the photos, these real world examples are so valuable.
Do you plan on going the Diff Drop Route with this vehicle to remedy the axle angle? Or is that just pushing the problems down the line to another component?
Thanks for the pictures and write up.
- about the spacer lift - I don't see how a Spacer lift could be any more damaging than a full coilover of the same overall max extended length of the (Stock Shock + Spacer) VS. (Coilover Length) All of the full coilover kits (Eibach, ICON, King, Fox, etc)...
Immediately after I put Fox 2.0 Coilovers in my F150 (BFG E rated K02 tires) it ran very harsh and i had regrets. A couple thousand miles later it felt perfect.
I am having new ICON coilovers and new 37" E rated tires installed next week (A LOT OF $$) and already expecting to be mad at the...
I spent Saturday top down driving through the dusty Hungry Valley OHV area.
My Bronco less than a month old and looked factory fresh before covering it with thick layer of dust like i've never seen inside a vehicle (never off-roaded a convertible before)
First Step: Vacuum (So you are not...
My phone syncs to the Bronco while I'm inside the house in my office, and my wife starts the car in the driveway, and whatever I'm watching on my phone, the sound comes out of the Bronco Speakers, and I have to turn the bluetooth off on my phone! So Annoying!
NO POWER SEATS - I was shocked when I went to go pick up my brand new $50,000 (before tax) Bronco in 2023, and it has Manual seat adjustments. The 2008 Toyota base model that I am replacing has power seats that work great! How is it possible that a $50k MSRP vehicle has manual adjust seats...
The BFG KO2 37" C rated tires that come on the Raptor are the lightest I've seen at 65lbs / tire. That's lighter than most 35" tires out there. And you can get them cheaper as Raptor Factory Takeoffs here in this forum.
Toyo Open Country AT3s = 73 lbs
Toyo RT Trails are = 75 lbs
Nitto Recon...
I love the cheese puffs, I've got a set on my F150 and they are great All Terrain, in the Snow I feel very confident with them too. They are wearing well with 40k miles on them, and 50% tread left. I also tow a heavy trailer and w/ the E rating they are strong performers. Way better than the...
Love it! Very Similar to by upcoming build. Same Tires, Same A51 4dr Soft Top.
I'm interested how the Spare tire bump spacers worked out, would you recommend ?
