2dr BB, no lift. Removed crash bars. 17x8.5 0 offset and 315/70/17. No rub, even under flex.
I did add SAS flares. The poke with base flares wasn't bad at all - I live on a gravel / dirt drive and didn't care to see mud splattered on the side of the Bronco constantly. If I want it muddy...
I don't do much on FB besides stalk marketplace for deals. I did join the Mabett group to see the different stuff he's thinking of developing for the Broncos. (It was late, I was a few drinks in and I was bored - sue me).
But these?
Of course I saw these immediately after I broke...
Serious question - have you tried Sport mode? With 35s and 4.27s - the 2.3 in our 2 dr BB in Sport mode is actually fun to drive. I wish I had gotten a manual, but this is technically my wife's DD so no clutch pedal - her money, her choice.
YUP.
Terminal velocity with a box. That's my highly technical explanation. I have the optional 4.27 gears w/ 2.3 (I knew I was going 35s). 2 door. Speedo was corrected by me (Forscan) and it is dead nuts accurate w/ GPS.
60mph speed limit - cruise set at 67-69mph - it gets surprisingly good...
The slide out is a great idea. I've been working on an idea for our 2 door. As soon as I wrap up the audio upgrade and get the sub installed this week, I'm going to go the "cardboard" stage of mock up after pulling the rear seats. Hoping to elevate the platform enough to build a simple full...
Honestly I think a lot of the "complaints" about the Bronco come from people who haven't driven true off road capable trucks / SUVs. I'm still kind of amazed how good the Bronco drives - and that's after I added 35s. I've owned Jeeps, Broncos (my son drives a 6" lifted 35" tire 1995 we went...
Forscan is a completely different program. It's actually Russian in origination (it's been around for a long time). The software is free. The trial 2 month license (which you can keep renewing indefinitely) is Free. It's been around for a LONG time. The origin story I heard, which makes sense...
I definitely recommend people listen to different speaker choices. Everyone is different. After years of having things going boom and bang all around me in the Army, then years of open headers, race cars, etc - my hearing doesn't exactly qualify me to even think about being a true...
You can increase mileage with FORSCAN by the way. You cannot DECREASE - but you can increase mileage. Did it on several digital instrument cluster swaps into S550 Mustangs. The aftermarket companies were selling a complete swap kit "programmed" for like $2300. Back then you could literally...
I grew up mainly a GM person. However I've never had blind loyalty to any brand. In the 80s (when I started wrenching) and for the next 20+ years, it was hard to touch the small block Chevy when it came to AFFORDABLE, easy to build engines that made good power and had reasonable street manners...
Granted our BB has the Base system - but I can tell you that replacing the 4" dash speakers BY THEMSELVES was the biggest difference initially in sound. I replaced the 4" dash speaker with Kicker CS series. The difference in volume and clarity was kind of ridiculous. I honestly thought...
I agree with the vast majority of what you posted. The exception I would mention, is the case when you're adding more airflow to higher performance engines IN CONJUNCTION with a custom / dyno tune - especially in the case of vehicles that have inefficient factory airboxes / induction setups...
I MAY do the same thing, since I'm waiting on an add-on harness and Kicker hideaway sub. After following the setup below, I don't have any clipping at a volume I'm willing to try at least.
1. Reset the amp to default setting (hold the mic button down for 10 seconds - you'll hear a long beep)...
Depends on what you're comparing the Bronco too. I just sold my '19 Mustang GT 6 speed that wasn't stock. 480+ HP. (460 stock). Yeah, the 2.3 doesn't compare. Of course neither does the 2.7.
If it helps - we waited to order until we test drove a Bronco (Dec '21). I had planned on ordering...
