The wife and I did a 3 week similar trip (from the west coast) on a motorcycle…doing it in a 2dr bronco is luxurious…many trips in our 2dr already and been planning to take our 2dr to Banff soon…get out there!
Too late for me (guns/bombs (Vietnam), heavy equipment, motorcycles, racers/hot rods,, music, & open vehicles) but I do recommend any kind of ear protection…it is better than none at all…the best hearing aids still suck…
I am running Mickey Baja Legend MTs (37r13.50x17) and like them a lot…know lots of folks running Baja Boss tires and have never heard anything bad about them (MTs alittle loud)…I would go for the D rated 35r12.50 rather then E rated 315r70…I am not a fan of BFG…a photo of my legends is not much...
Don’t remember the “first” thing but these eBay Sasquatch stickers along with the scrips were among them along with replacing the ugly big bend grill…so much more after…
I would think about getting uca now rather than later since ya are gonna need them anyway with your lift…might get a few extra miles out of your current tires 😜...anyway glad ya got it figured out…glad to hear ya got some miles on those procomps without troubles…
I reall liked my mustang gt convertible but when my back got too bad sit in for long thought about getting back into 4 wheeling with a comfortable bronco but ford could not seem to build me one…finally gave up and got one on the lot with my “must haves“….enjoy it way more than the wife’s bmw but...
If you have lifted it a relocation bracket will correct track bar angle giving you that feeling…the stock bushing are pretty good imho but I did go to core rear bars with adjustable double rockjock joints for no real good reason…the rear may move alittle smoother off road but haven’t really...
I pay little attention but my 2dr 2.7 Sasquatch big bend was getting in the 18s when stock…after lift and 37s it is now getting in the 14s…all on the computer (who knows accuracy)…and of course the driver makes the biggest difference (so the wife tells me)…
