Lol. The smiley face was looking at me wrong. I didn’t trust it.
I hope everyone enjoys their Broncos (or any other rig) however they want. I just want people to understand there’s a lot more to it than just buying a rig and showing up.
I know a thing or two but can still stand to learn a lot...
No. Being in Texas, it takes a looong time to just get out of the state. If we make a trip it’s west. It would be fun to head that way but for that distance, there is a lot more available to the west.
We’re buggy guys and generally stick to the technical rock only stuff. There are a few...
Lol. Ok
So, this one park may be so different than all the other off-road parks in the country that my advice has no relevance there and beginners should only worry about damage from puddles.
Anyone planning on wheeling Rausch should take note that the rocks are only hard when they are wet.
I...
I bought my ctsv and jk rubicon used. Both had extended warranties. I used them both a lot.
Point being, if your are keeping your vehicle relatively stock and for a long time, they can be very much worth it.
If your lifting and or doing drivetrain mods, they weasel out of coverage anyway so...
Just about everyone I know who has run Dana 60s or 14 bolt combo on the rocks has worn the lip of the axle off to the point that the diffs leak. This is from scraping over rocks doing less than a mile per hour in most scenarios. 3000+ lb vehicle resting all its weight on a bracket or frame rail...
I hate it too. That said, I’m thinking something like drop pouches which basically store away small but useful for trash or keeping small things from rolling around.
in other words. Low profile clutter control when needed.
First off, Congrats!
curious if your locker was engaged when using trail assist. The sound you described is a pretty common sound when a locker disengages while bound up.
btw, please no bronco wave!
You're not kidding.
Bought my jeep for 28K about two years ago. Just looked it up and their going for $36K+/- bone stock!
I suppose you could ride this wave as it's probably not stopping very soon but I'm not willing to gamble on it being this high at trade in (nor do I trust the dealer...
Bait.
a bunch of dealers were doing stuff similar to this when I was searching for a super duty. Great price on a lariat. Call them and it just so happens they just brought it in the shop for a lift and tires. +20k to the price or you can have one of these other more expensive ones on the lot...
Yep.
Figured if I don’t like it as a daily, I’ll be able to sell within the first year and get money back plus some.
Something tells me I’ll end up long travel and 37s though… and happy.
There will a ton of the "meh" lifts from companies like Superlift, Rough Country, BDS and then there will the suspension systems from companies like Bajakits, Funhaver, Total Chaos(?). Those will be the ones to pay attention to if you want to have as good or better ride characteristics. I'm...
