Unfortunately, having worked as a manufacturing engineer, I'm not surprised. If two parts can be mixed up, it will happen. This is one of the big reasons I'm surprised Ford would make two such similar parts. At least yours are the right way -- with the taller one on drivers side -- if you are...

Thanks Aonarch. I'm not afraid of modifications. I've changed the diff gears and added a front locker to my current rig. But in my old age I'm becoming less fond of messing around under my vehicles. :) I had noticed recently that the Advanced 4X4 system had lower gearing, but thanks for...

As an engineer I sometimes think "What were they thinking". While I haven't dug really deep (obviously), I have gone through the "build" process on Ford's web site a number of times. I don't recall ever seeing the longer shocks mentioned (maybe I missed it), so the difference doesn't seem to be...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'd give this a C+ rating. It's reasonably light and is available with the slippery UHMW. But it has a lot of contours. There appears to be a big step down between the back edge of the front (factory?) bash-plate and the front edge of the Next Venture skid plate...

I'm considering a 2-door Bronco. My use would be around 80% for snow-wheeling. The factory and aftermarket bash plates seem to have a lot of contours and/or large gaps. Neither of these make an ideal sledding surface for sliding over the snow. Is anyone aware of a skid plate that is large and...

Thanks for your detailed reply. I'm sure this information is all on the web somewhere, but some of the very detailed information is hard to find through all the clutter. I should have mentioned I'm looking at the 2 doors. There's one thing I'd like to clarify: To make sure I understand...

I've been looking at the details of both new and used Broncos. My main use for it would be snow-wheeling where a low (high numerically) crawl ratio is very helpful. Thus I'm really only interested in the manual transmission (I know this only comes with the 2.3). So below I will list some things...
