Yep, mostly in the same boat. We've been married 48 yrs, but my wife still needs to get in and out easily even though it won't be often. We do plan to tow it behind the motorhome so it will be our only car at those times. I'm mostly going to just explore with the Bronco, but sometimes we get...

Yeah, the factory rock rails attach to the body. However, they don't stick out so any force from rocks is straight into the rock slider, very little leverage. Steps like these add a ton of leverage when the step rests against rocks on it's edge. My bet would be that the body will not handle it...

Keep them for when you actually run a rocky trail and bend up these steps, then you have them to put back on. 😁 Actually, I bet a bunch of people who bought base squatches would buy them.

Seriously, I wouldn't let those touch any rocks. They appear to be no where near strong enough. It's not a matter of the tubing of the product getting damaged, it's about how low they are and how wide they are, which dramatically increases both the likelihood of hitting something and increases...

Understand. I'm not asking the forum, I'm asking the vendor. They either have tested and know, or they haven't. If they have, it's new info to add to our mental data base. BTW, I'm a tech inspector for Ultra4. 😊

Well, I didn't post the question to be negative. I really want to know how much those axles can take. One company said no more than two inches, this company says OK at four inches. Just give us the data. If there actually was no testing, and nothing to give, well........

No real opinion, not enough experience with them. I think they grip well. We were sponsored by Goodyear when they were still sponsoring off road teams (were sponsored by Falken after that), and ran MT/R's. They had great traction and were very durable, don't know how the Territory's compare.

What does "look pretty good" mean? The question isn't about ride height, it's about at full suspension extension. What do you have about that? If on the trail and one side is drooped out and the tire is also turned hard is the CV maxed out at that height or not? We have no way of knowing except...

The sway bar disconnect is a big deal. On Jeeps, we always disconnect the sway bar. At the Off Roadeo they wanted to show folks the difference when using and not using it, but in the real world you would just hit disconnect at the beginning of the trail and leave it that way. Except that each...

I attended the Las Vegas Off Roadeo today and thought I'd pass along some impressions. The Bronco I drove was a 4dr 2.7L Outer Banks with Sasquatch. It had the 12" screen and 360* camera. From looking at pics and video from the various Off Roadeo locations, I think it's safe to say that the...

Since we're all still learning about what can be done to our Broncos, it would be good to know what testing you did to assure that the stock CV axles are ok with 4" of lift. Do you have any info on the limits? Thanks.

You're stuck in your perception. You said a stick is better off road...period. You didn't say you like a stick off road. My point about competition vehicles is that they choose to run what works best because they're COMPETING. It's not about following the crowd, it's about how things work. And...

I was behind you all day, the last Bronco. Yes, it was a great day!

I guess since a manual trans is better off road.....period....that's why desert race trucks are autos, and why Ultra4 cars are autos, and why competition rock buggies are autos...since they need the best performance. Oh, and since competition trucks and buggies depend on reliability, and the...

Seriously? You'd choose a bicycle over a motorcycle because the bicycle is more engaging? Bad analogy. I doubt you could make the argument that riding a bicycle 10 miles each way to work over riding a performance motorcycle is preferred because it's more engaging. In a discussion about which...

Some of you stick guys crack me up. You want a stick, then you decide what car that you like has one. Most of us pick a car that we want first, then pick a trans that fits us and what we want to do. This isn't a debate between which is better, in general, a stick or auto. It's a discussion of...

I went into that here, previously in this thread.

Cute, but bullshit. 😁

BTW, I was looking at the overall crawl ratios between the stick and the auto. On a base non-squatch manual the overall crawl ratio is 79.9, and assuming many more people who get an auto will also get Sasquatch or a higher level model with the auto t-case and lower low range ratio (2.72 vs...

Nice use of that accessory bolt! Assuming you have friends and family that use GMRS and FRS. Everyone I go out with uses VHF, and VHF at the races. Nice location for a VHF radio also.
