Choose with your heart and regret nothing. Congrats on the baby. I have three youngins, they are wonderful. Theyāre a great reason to get an off road capable truck and explore, let them have there first experience behind the wheel on your lap in a few years. Raiseāem right!
you wonāt go wrong...
Whatās your definition of āsafeā?
weāre all working on preliminary spec sheets and speculation. weāre all waiting to get some more concrete info so speculating is getting tough for some.
that said, yeah probably be ok, as I speculate. Whatās the gearing of the OBX? What transmission? what size...
Hereās another taller option, perhaps similar to 35x10.50 specs? Has advertised 11ā section width and 34.3ā height. I have no experience with the MT/R though, and read some conflicting reviews...
Interested to see a comparison of, say, 4Runner TRD Pro and BD or BB with rear locker. They may be equally matched.
also OP,donāt underestimate driving technique. Some people can do some amazing stuff with open diffs. Even though Iām putting my money on the M210, I would not bet against a good...
The front diff that will have the locker is an iron-cased M210, whereas the non-locked will have an aluminum-cased M190. This is based on speculative information I read online, or how I interpret it anyhow.
I'm going to opt for the Sasquatch for many reason, but mostly because of the M210 iron...
ive noticed the same about the control arms. Thereās a video of the Ford team testing at Rubicon (IIRC) and thereās a solid 30 second shot of the LCA as the truck is in motion. It looks like the range of motion is mostly angled greater than 90deg, if you were to measure from a plumb bob dropped...
And aftermarket! from the Godzilla crate engine to EV crate engines...

If you have a chance at a 1996 or 1995 do not let it get away! They were/are imperfect and have character. I see a lot of that with the Bronco too. Simple and rugged, doesnāt need to be extremely capable, just robust.
Ah I wish I could give you a good answer, I could only speculate. I think the BD has 32s and that gear? I may be wrong. If so, I would imagine that would be alright just because itās close to factory specs.
Iām sure someone else could give you good insight.
yes they are E load. They may be more stiff and unforgiving, and thatās fine. Just thinking that the 5lbs per wheel, while rotating, will be easier to stop at speed and be a little easier on the brakes. All speculation on my part though.
man, mine was bulletproof. Never had an issue with it...
maybe these?

I had 215/85R16s on my 1996 LR Discovery. They were about 30.5ā tall and skinny. Some others used 235/85R16 on their Discoveries. I read...
speedometer calibration would do it. Years ago when I worked at Mercedes Benz, there was the ability to ācodeā, manually,settings in some ECUs. Now everything is SCN coding, which is held on databases in the cloud, and manually setting coding is not allowed with dealer tools. Otherwise, I would...
Im wondering what type of aftermarket fenders will be available (seeing how the fenders and body are āmodularā) to allow large tires with minimal suspension lift.
Iām going to order a Base Manual Sasquatch 4 door. I really dig everything, but Iām not a huge fan of the tire size. I, personally, wouldnāt choose that size for my needs. Iām going to give them a shot because Ford specāed them and they know things I donāt. However, if I donāt like them, my Plan...
itās going to be interesting. IF they go IFS (my opinion is they should) I would think they will come up with something that articulates well. And if they are really thinking, theyāll leave provisions on the frame for the aftermarket to support bolt in SAS.
either way, weāre about to get some...
