Yeah, he's getting what he wants. Not my truck, and not my money. Just like he's free to build and drive what he wants, I'm free to comment on it. I was going to stay away from this thread from here on out, but now I see the full hydro steering on a 50k brand new modern truck. And, the radius...

Yeah, I haven't seen an aftermarket bumper yet that I really like. They are too busy looking. I prefer simple lines, and I don't need all the lights. I wheel and drive plenty at night without all those extra lights, and modern headlights are pretty good. I just have to put up with all those...

Yay! Check me out! I'm turning a modern truck into a Conestoga wagon! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: ;)

Like I said previously, it looks like two 3/16 pop rivets holding that badge on, quick work to drill that out with a 3/16 bit and remove it.

The base is a great deal depending on how it's going to be used, and expectations. For me, I'll have an auto trans, so the gearing is a big deal. Also, since I will use it for wheeling, I want the iron front diff, not the aluminum. I happened to price out a base, then add the M210 front diff...

??? My email says starts at 8:00 and be there 30 min early. Are you sure it says starts at 9:00?

I'm going 9/19.

Thanks for all the pics. I'll be there this coming Sun, the 19th. Nice to see some rocks, will be fun to play on optional lines. Did anyone drive the 2dr? It would be really cool to be able to drive a 2dr since that's what I have ordered.

What's he doing in the front?

At his time I have a non-squatch Badlands ordered, but seriously considering changing to basesquatch. I have to get the Rock Slide Engineering rock rails/steps so my wife can get in, and I will put my own wheels on it. Would like to save the bucks and go base, and somehow deal with disconnecting...

In my tuning experience it looks like too little rebound. But, is it too little compression and it's bouncing too hard off the bump stops, or is it too little rebound so it accelerates too fast after bottoming out. Could be a bit of both, but I'd go rebound first, depending on how it hit the...

Looks better rebound control after coming off the jump, what I was hoping for.

How are you equipping your Bronco?

I'll bite. What serious off roading are you saying the stick is correct for? I get there are plenty of good reasons to want a stick.

I understand what the vulcanized is, I don't understand why they did it, or how it will really affect sway bar link disconnects. I go to Off Rodeo in 10 days, I'll have more answers and ideas after that. One of the issues that I have already seen is the the sway bar links are hard to get to...

Nothing yet. And, this is pretty important. I'm in the same boat as you. Back and forth between basesquatch and Badlands.....and what a price difference. Especially since I want to get my own rims, the Rock Slide Eng rock rails, and would prefer other bumpers. And, this is not nearly as easy...

ANYTHING with a bit of play in the steering or front suspension, or a tire out of balance or a tire separating or out of round. There is a harmonic that straight axle vehicles are susceptible to. Everything has to be tight and good. The stabilizer shock on straight axles is there to fight that...

There is a vast difference in culture and values between dealerships, and many businesses in general. People generally like to rag on dealerships, but there are many first rate dealerships out there (not all of them). What type of communication are you doing? How often? You will get more...

Well, driving Jeeps for many many years, working at a dealership, and now at my repair shop, I've experienced it quite a few times. We work on a ton of jeeps at the shop, and we fix a lot of death wobble. My worst ever was while appraising a lifted F350 with 38's that a guy wanted to trade in...

Exactly! He is assuming that the folks at Ford have perfect information, and can perfectly predict the flow of things, and can perfectly predict what problems might arise, so he can be satisfied and know perfectly what to expect. Ahh....they have unforeseen issues. Ahh....things happen that...
