On the advice of Heretic Studio, we used their Quattro in Amber (matches the inner lights upfront). Mounted them on the TrailRax rack up high for maximum effectiveness (above the dust). Easy-peasy install and I'll be at UBB if you're attending or happy to share anything. BTW, they're turned...

I'm pretty obsessive about things and you can see my build on the "Builds" page. For all of the "plastic" I use Turtle Wax Graphene Acrylic Trim Restorer (with gloves on) which makes everything a nice deep black. At events, it is the #1 question I get asked on why my roof is such a deep...

Kind words thanks although anyone east of Highland is clearly suspect!! 😭😭😭

Has anyone tried mounting it from the ceiling? I just bought an HDS-9 Live and BoatLogix heavy duty bracket (to replace the plastic one). Before I get a custom mount made, wondering if anyone else has done this? Mountains2Metal has a "Bronco Basket" that works with existing bolts. Using steel...

$250. Month-by-month for "mobile" (meaning you can have it working while driving). As OP said - driving 80 mph works like a charm.

Kind words! I loved last year's Touron Warning by the NPS so much that I actually trademarked "Don't Pet The Bronco" and had that made. I'll have some stickers to hand out at UBB.

You sir, ask very good questions and pointed out probably the only thing we didn't upgrade. We carry extensive recovery gear and I'm a highly experienced mountaineer and understand Z-pulleys, etc. but, that can never replace a winch in some situations. That said, they're heavy, expensive, can...

Kind words. Thanks. We considered a Raptor, an APG PreRunner and running portals. All of them push the wheels out extremely wide for trying to get down shelf roads and when rock-crawling. Also, the larger roll-bar on the Raptor means that you can't fit the AAL set-up that we have in the back...

Portals add 6" width minimum which cannot be ignored. My build is pretty much "money no object" and everything was considered - a Raptor, APG PreRunner and portal from either 76weld or Broncbuster. So, I'd start there first! And, FWIW, there's a lot of spray about 76weld but the Tibus portals...

I can't speak to the $2,500 but I do have the $1,900 ones from Camburg. They offer 5% more strength and 10% less weight but 2,000% more cool factor for 90% more money compared to even their own $1,000 TA. YMMV. You can't truly justify them except to say "why not". If you're not drooping in...

The mount system is 67.designs. Since there are minimal attachment points, it was honestly a little wobbly initially. I solved that and the challenge of "how do I keep things powered but looking clean with no dangling cords" by "upside down" mounting 2 Anker battery banks which counter-balance...

Nitto/Toyo are the same company and typically the largest or tied for that. As earlier posted, Nitto Ridge Grapplers are fantastic all-round tire (or Open Country III) in 35". You can "flip" the Ridge Grapplers (unsure of OC3) and they have a different chevron pattern which is cool. I'm now...

"You can never have too much firepower" Billy Rose, Beverly Hills Cop II. Seconded by Heretic Studio and @KermitBronco. We run these on 3 switches (#2, #3, #4). #1 is for white light bar above, #5 is for white ditch lights, #6 is for rear amber chase lights up high on Trailrax. Works like...

Ha, ha, ha - no typo. Since this is public forum, I'll offer this - I worked with a bunch of engineers at Ford Performance, Dana and Fox. 90% of the weight is down super low (steel bash plates, rock sliders, Dana 60, Dana 44, Spicer XTreme splines, 37" wheels, RTR rear bumper, hitch, Eibach...

Stock liners for now - rear are stock and front we had to cut out the felt liners. Waiting on American Adventure Lab to release liners for Bronco. Their Jeep liners are considered best-in-class.

Great eye! As a stop-gap measure for our 37", we used the BroncBuster 3" body lift kit first on the stock Bilstein shocks and then with the Fox 2.5 which were under sprung for our weight. They served their purpose but it was a wee bit scary on off-camber stuff. It is also why I've refrained...

Early '23, I checked in with Zack Heisey at Dana and he strongly suggested 4.88 for 37's when we upgraded to Ultimate 44 FDU. Two months later, I was doubly grateful for his advice because when we added the Dana 60 rear, we were okay. The 60 only comes in a few sizes and it jumps from 4.88 to...

1. On a positive note, I'll share my LOVE for the DSC ability. It's what sets Fox apart from competitors. It varies a lot! Best explanation I know is this video from highly respected Accutune (who also sell a ton of King): 2. On the negative side, the High Speed adjustment is super insanely...

These are 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers which is all pretty much all I need for now at least and things get super heavy past that. We re-geared to 4.88. Warning to those upgrading front axle to Dana 44 Ultimate. That comes in a variety of gearings but choose wisely. The rear Dana 60 has fewer...

Essence Motorsports did a great job and one year later, the Xpel Stealth still looks great. I was in Big Bear this year and most Broncos got seriously pinstriped. Meanwhile, only my mirror and fenders got striped and that was easy to remedy. Most of these pics were taking last night at...
