Been forgetting to post this but you can in fact get good fuel mileage with the brick on wheels that is the bronco.
I drive a mix of town and highway driving, about a 60-40 split and in eco mode most of the time
2 door
7 speed manual
The compressor kit was about 900$ (I also got the manifold kit and all the engine bay mounting brackets) I did all the labor and wiring myself
Air locker in the rear diff seems easy for about 1k for the locker, $300 for the ring and pinion and then labor.
obviously the front is a huge hurdle...
Definitely at least 4.88 to get optimal power with 35 in tires, but I might do 5.13 if I decide to go bigger. As of right now I’m not going to do anything until I get closer to when it’s time to get tires. I’ll probably just do it all at the same time
Edit: I know the rear is easy, but I’m...
Hey everyone! Just got my ARB Twin air compressor and I’m extremely excited, but I was curious to see if anyone has upgraded to air lockers. It is for sure something I’d like to add in the future as I did not get the sas package. Has anyone actually done with and or is it even possible with the...
How was your experience with the ADV fenders? Looking at getting them for my 2 door big bend, how long did it take to get them and how much was it to install and color match?
So you don’t use 6th at all? when you say 78mph at 2700 rpm that’s in 5th? Rn on stock size I’m getting 22 mpg each fill up, And I always try to get to 6th gear as much as I can. Should I avoid 6th gear (except past 65-70) or Just when I go to 35s
No idea, a buddy of mine had to get the plate for the rear, plus they are completely different shocks. However you might be able to get away with just some quick disconnect links but I can’t say for sure
I can’t say for sure about the EXP’s but I know for the CDEV coilovers you need the sway bar relocation plate. If I had to guess you’ll need it for your front end. Or you can be a total savage and just run with it disconnected all the time
I would definitely get that tune but the premium fuel requirement turns me off, Especially with gas prices increasing again. I’ll probably still end up doing it at some point but not anytime soon
Is 6th gear at all usable? Like is it completely unusable or is it just only when you get to highway speeds. The first gear improving is actually surprising to me and I didn’t even think about the upsides to that. I think I’m going to up to 35s anyway, but I wanted to know what I should expect...
Well this is my daily driver and I’ve never played around with tire sizes. I’ve been told that the vehicle will drive “sluggish” when you up the tire size. I don’t think that going from the 32 in tires to 35 in tires will make a whole lot of difference (especially with the manual transmission)...
hey everyone, just wanted to ask what peoples ride quality and performance was like after upping their tire size. I have a 2024 2dr big bend nonSasquatch with 4.46 gearing. I want to put 35 inch tires on my bronco, but I’m worried that I might lose a lot of performance. I do have a manual...
