I completely agree that the single compressors take forever on larger tires and they will shut off if they get too hot, which makes it take even longer and is another reason to keep it out of the engine bay if possible.
The ARB twin worked well on my 37's, but nothing beats a Powertank for...
We will have to see what kind of space is available under the front seats, but I mounted an ARB Twin Compresser mounted under the passenger seat on my JK and loved it. The air filter stayed clean and it ran like a champ. It was mounted to the seat itself, so adjustment wasn't an issue, but the...
Based off of the listed RTI numbers it looks like the disco will get you around 4.75" of additional travel for both the 2 Door and 4 Door. This is assuming they used a 20 degree ramp.
2 Door (100.4" Wheel Base): Connected = 560 (56.22"), Disco = 700 (70.28")
Difference = 14.06" increased...
Thanks for the update. I doubt many dealerships are going to be interested in doing much below MSRP, but knowing that they won't jerk you around with add-ons is a big bonus.
I haven’t seen the specs regarding the additional 40mm of wheel travel and have no idea where you are working out the 10mm of loss, but going from 33’s to 35’s is going to get you about 1” of additional ground clearance AND put your tire about 1” closer to the fender, slider, and bumper with the...
It is really crappy of them to take that attitude. I would be looking elsewhere too and will definitely be thinking about it over the next month and half. The group buys really seem like a great way for us to pull together and back each other up. Dealerships my not bat an eye at losing one...
I completely agree. I think it is awesome that Ford is recognizing the appeal of pulling out of the dealership on 35's, that is amazing. I am just saying that if you are planning to go for the Badlands in order to maximize off-road capability, those 35's are going to give you some ground...
If the Sasquatch package only has 0.4" of additional lift, you are going to have to sacrifice up travel to prevent rubbing on a Badlands with the swaybar disco. Those Broncos in Moab and on the Rubicon were stuffing the 33's pretty tight. If you intend to run 35's or 37's and plan on making...
Thanks for the update on Capitol Ford. I am currently lined up to go through them and have had a little correspondence with them, but not to your extent. They did tell me they will be selling at MSRP and accept X-Plan with no ADM. I left it at that, but do need to figure out what add-ons they...
The fully loaded weights probably include the steel bumpers, skid plates, hard top, and 35” tires. If so, that is very close to what my 2012 4 door rubicon weighed (5,280) after adding bumpers, full skid plates, 37’s, and a winch.
I was just comparing high range drive ratio's of the Bronco against the Wrangler Rubicon. One of the things that really stands out to me is the drive ratio for the manual in 2WD. First gear is only going to give you 13.1:1 compared to 22.2:1 in the Automatic. It will be very interesting to...
Take a look at Clek Fllo convertible car seats. We have three kids (3, 2, and 1) and can fit all of them in the back of a 2016 4runner. Based on the specs, it looks like the 4Runner has 55.7" of hip room compared to 54.8" in the Bronco. The Clek Fllo is 16.9" wide, so there is plenty of room!
I am really curious to learn exactly what the differences are between the "Unique Badlands Suspension" and the Sasquatch Package. The specs sheet show the HOSS System w/ Bilsteins as standard equipment on Badlands, Wildtrack, and First Edition, yet Sasquatch is Standard on WT and FE. and the...
