this is pertinent to my interests. I have been trying to come up with something since I have a soft top so no roof rack (until Gobi finally makes me one). Could do the typical PVC pipe job, maybe strapped to the roll bar? would probably work on a 4-door but might hinder ingress/egress. lots...
seems like if you want to connect multiple lights to one switch, this is a proper solution. That said... if you actually need enough lights to also need something like this, you are probably planning a mission to the Moon or something and should let NASA handle the install. There aren't many...
The Dirt Every Day guys hack up all kinds of stuff and go wheeling. They seem to have the best job possible. I would assume that it was probably at a sponsor's request.
for doors with a primarily vertical edge, that's true. Most rear doors, and many front doors, don't have vertical edges. The part that will contact the Bronco door is higher up than the factory rock rails. That said, this is probably going to be the case for any drop-down solution as well...
Iāve never had these on a vehicle, but I am awaiting delivery of a trailer that has the 33ā version. I was contemplating replacing them before taking that trailer cross continent (DFW to Alaska). Based on the feedback here I think I will keep them. Thanks folks!
I thought about that, but wasnāt able to find bottom-mount slides that I could make fit those tie-down bolts. Side-mount slides would work but the resulting product wouldnāt be as sleek or āoem integratedā as the Ford version. Iām sure itās doable, but competing with Ford on a similar product...
I think there is a pretty big challenge with the slides. Unless I am misunderstanding how this thing works, in order to support the advertised weight the slides likely need to be built in such a way they can bolt to the body with some significant reinforcement where they attach. I thought pretty...
You are a gentleman and a scholar @Tricky Dick . A real Peopleās Champion. Thanks for putting in all this effort! Canāt wait to see what else you discover.
Seems like a grinder, flap wheel, and a little touch up paint should do the trick. Unless the other gaps on the door are all misaligned too, why would they be trying to move the whole door?
My wifeās ā21 AMG GLE53 also had this issue. On hers, Mercedes didnāt replace the whole turbo, just the wastegate. Twice. But Iām not entirely sure it was ever a real issue. I think it was just a bad sensor. The car never stopped performing to the fullest and never exhibited any signs of trouble...
@NotThatScott
I hear what you are saying. Fringe sports/activities change in irrevocable ways when the masses get involved. I experienced that with my passion sport - disc golf - and watched the culture and anonymity I loved erode into a mass-market business. The technology evolved to allow...
Spot on. With my Falcon shocks I can drop to a really soft ā1ā setting for trails and rocks and back up to ā2.4ā for every day driving and up to a super stiff ā3ā if itās crazy windy or Iām carrying a heavy load. It makes a big difference. So much that I frequently forget to change it back when...
I think youāre on the right track. Personally Iām keeping my suspension stock for now (though I might do some collars if I can find the right non-leveling set) and will reassess once coilovers are more readily available. I am adding some Sumosprings to the back to handle the extra weight of gear...
any plans for extra fuel, water, a cooler, stuff to cook with, maybe some recovery gear and storage, etc? That all adds up quickly. you might offset it enough with the winch and steel bumper, but I'd still test it first. Your bronco, your way, no doubt. Just trying to help give some...
if you level it, then load up a few hundred pounds of gear in the back for overlanding, your bronco is going to look like it has worms. I suggest loading it out fully before deciding on suspension changes. If your gear levels the Bronco out (which it should) then a level kit will result in a...
