Let's see your white letters out on those tires!
I just swapped on a set of Cooper STT Pros in a 295/70R17 (33.5"). What are your thoughts on white letters out?
On the last 10+ sets of tires I've run, I've always gone black letters out but I am starting to dig the white wall a little more.
Good stuff, thank you. I like the idea of a .75 BL, maybe 1" depending on the setup I go with. Yeah, I saw those Broncbuster bolts. I was introduced to that brand through my contacts at Velox Offroad. Sounds like they're both doing some pretty cool stuff with the Bronco.
Sure, all lifts raise the center of gravity, yes. The majority of guys doing a body lift also have a suspension lift though, so it's doubling down on the increase in center of gravity which is obviously pushing it. Is it the end of the world? no. Is it something to consider? Absolutely. All I...
Typically when you install a 2.0/2.5 coilover for any height lift 1.5" up to 3.5", you're also installing UCAs at the same time which provides a greater articulation range depending on the joint (and corrects caster) - which reduces the chance of binding at the UCA/spindle through up/down travel...
Takeaway.... preload spacers, and spacer lifts in general are for mall crawlers (which is okay for some) and provide little to no added ride performance. A true Coilover lift or mid-travel with an increased shock stroke is for anyone who actually wants to wheel.
The only time I recommend any...
Is there anyone in the Sacramento or NorCal area offering tuning/flashes for these 2.7Ls?
If not, feel free to drop the most relevant performance mods below (links & images would be nice) so I can get some more horses.
Yeah, I think I am comparing it to the price overall and coming from 5th Gen 4Runner and a 2nd Gen Tacoma. $59K purchase price + tax/license so OTD was $56K financed - I think I was expecting an F350 platinum loaded 😅 ... Once the 37s, and mid-travel kit goes on, things should start to get...
Yeah it's weird, I seem to have Standard + a couple features from Mid but not full Mid. For example, I have the "Auto High-Beam Headlamps" and "rear view camera with backup assist grid lines". Not sure who specd out this build but they could have done better. lol. Whatever, at least I have front...
Well, I finally bought a roll-back Bronco with 100 miles, and although she looks freaking amazing... the Mid-Package leaves a lot... and I mean a lot to be desired.
Things I wish came standard on these Broncos:
1. Heated Seats
2. Tow Package
3. Electronic Seats
4. Hood struts
5. Remote start...
This is a first for me coming from the 5th Gen 4Runner and 2nd Gen Tacoma... What about swapping to a hard top? Does it drain hard with the hard top as well or just soft top?
I've actually had an issue with the passenger kick-panel speaker rattling. Does anyone else have the kick-panel speaker rattling (passenger or driver)?
Damn, that looks great. Do you have a link to the paint you used? Do you know if Ford has an actual part number for this in Black or did all the Badlands come with this off-grey color?
I've never had good luck with plasti-dip out here in Sacramento. The heat is pretty gnarly on anything plastic and black. Even the heavy-duty plasti-dip tends to orange peel in about a year. Then it's a process of peeling the rest of it off. I would rather just buy one OE matte black grille if I...
