I ordered a Badlands. By the time it showed up in late 22 at my dealer, they had a 23 WildTrak with HOSS 3.0 fresh off the same truck mine was delivered on. At the time I didnât even know what the 3.0 package was.
I drove them back to back and while it was less than 10 miles in each vehicle the...
Just wait till the 10k mile mark or your first off-road adventure. There will be so many squeaks and rattles that youâll develop an auditory processing disorder that will allow you to not hear them and thus give you the ability to to tell everyone your Bronco doesnât rattle or squeak at all...
If you plan to keep it close to factory stock, YES HOSS 3.0 is worth it.
Many have done aftermarket disconnects, I recommend going to the RockJock or Carli sway bar on your WildTrak.
Much more friendly on the wallet than swapping out the steering rack and adding coilovers on the Badlands
FWIW...
Concerned about it rubbing on the tailgate as well.
Did you run it to one of your aux switches for the chase lights?
I would also like to see it illuminated. đ»
The Zone Kit is the best if youâre keeping the Fox shocks.
It was too stiff for me, but thatâs combined with the way too stiff factory sway bar. Rock Jock or Carli sway bar, or the BOSS Walker Links improve performance and ride, a TON after the lift.
If youâre going coilover route just go with...
Wheel diameter is not your problem.
Clearing 37âs is your problem. It doesnât matter if itâs a mall crawler or trail rig. 37âs are going to rub if youâre keeping the stock Fox shocks.
Zone kit above or Body Lift, JKS max tire kit, new wheels or wheel spacers, some plastic trimming, maybe side step removal/trimming (if applicable) or completely different side steps, and mud flap removal.
All combined should get you in and out of parking lots without rubbing. đ»
The variance of quality and capability between factory built Broncoâs is astonishing.
Some people donât have a squeak or a rattle after a million miles and 100 Rubicon trips, and some people clear and don't rub 37âs without mods.
Unfortunately I have all the squeaks and rattles, and 37âs rubbed...
Those BFGâs are the Ford Performance factory Raptor F150 tires. Iâve had 2 sets on my 2020 Raptor. Much better tire than the factory GYâs and still C rated.
I have 37â Baja Boss A/Tâs on my Wildtrak and love them as well.
I canât speak to the Nittoâs but I would pick many other C or D rated...
The Ranger is definitely not on 37âs lol. It also weighs like 500lbs less than the Braptor right?
The R appears to have been aired down some.
I donât thinks there is any collusion here, except the mention of the Braptor running one of the test in 2WD and Baja mode. So did all 3 run the same...
