seems like the fix should be simple - mud flaps and mud tires. The tires being the biggest factor. If you're worried about looks, maybe those two will net out?
IMO if you're just getting them for looks these probably aren't the right ones. If you want to use them though, these seem to be really good. Paint them with a rattle can or two, couple coats, proper dry time between, etc - before you put them on - shouldn't be any rust issues. Plus, you can...
I don't have any direct experience with this application, but this one is on my list of potential bumper purchases, too. Looking at the pics on their site, I wouldn't have any concerns with how the winch mounts. The mounting plate (bottom of the winch, not the front or back) is on a bent piece...
I think that's not quite it, but I have no visibility into Ford's process, just going off of what I've gleaned from my own exposures to the inner workings of the auto industry. I think it's more like this:
1) build slot schedule defined based on staff/environmental factors
2) slots assigned to...
I have the RaxPax kit for my JLUR, and it works great. Just this past weekend it was a conversation starter at my local OHV park - potential customers wanting to check them out in person. So I am confident in saying that TrailRax will do well with the bronco community just like you have with...
Didn’t see it listed elsewhere but Bill Utter in Denton has a 4dr cactus gray mannequin with some 4wp add ons like a winch, flare deletes, etc. I think it’s a big bend or a black Diamond? haven’t driven it but seeing the color in person is what made my choose cactus gray for my order. If you do...
Could you also please include some estimates on lead times? I'm still waiting to hear when the Gobi rack for my Jeep will be produced from the order I placed over 4 months ago. Assuming these will be manufactured in the same facility(s) with the same commodities - are you anticipating the same...
The wife and I were out there in our Jeeps on Sunday. Looked like a lot of folks having fun, though I think I'd classify it more as a "dirt test drive" than an actual off-road experience. If you're familiar with the park, it seemed to me that they spent most of their time down in the two...
don't forget the beadlock capable wheels, easily another $1500-2k. Not to mention the IFS, which in desert running (where more power matters) is a huge upgrade over a solid front axle. solid axles are excellent in low speed uses, but then what's the v8 for? The raptor seems to be better...
fair enough, but when I bought mine that wasn't the case. I paid less than MSRP, the 392s were going for $90k or more. Even at a $13k difference I'd have been on the fence but likely would have taken a 392. All really beside the point which is that people claiming the v8 is important for off...
with only the 8.4" screen in my jeep for carplay use, I opted to mount an ipad in there. I'm sure I will do the same in the Bronco when it arrives. Having both screens available offroad seems more useful than whatever carplay and android auto could provide. I'm also a bigger fan of Gaia, with...
other than some specific niches like rock bouncing and desert running, there really isn't much use to a modern v8 off road. you just don't go fast enough for it to matter. my Rubi is the 3.6 e-torque and I've never once wished it was the 392 when negotiating some obstacle or crossing a stream...
The dealer can place as many orders as they like, but Ford will only fill from that dealer’s order list when the dealer has an available allocation. It’s basically this - for a given production week, the broncos built are first determined by availability of parts. If they only have 100 hard tops...
Just an account of my experience today, hope it helps someone.
My build was scheduled on Jan 20 for a “week of March 14” build. I got the VIN from my dealer the next day. According to the order expert at the dealer, having a VIN issued meant no more changes. Then I read here that some things...
I agree with the sentiment here. With one caveat - make sure they agree to fix it to your satisfaction and look at the repair from all angles.
I once bought an F-150 that somehow got a significant crease in the door while they were porting it for delivery. Meaning between the test drive and...
