I don’t think there’s any issue with using the Ford Performance shocks on the above trims - Ford just designed them with the intention of selling them to trims with standard shocks since they knew folks would want to add 35s+ so they never prob bothered to test on the higher trims that already...
Pretty lame this is one of those things that looks like it will eventually happen to everyone… just like hardtop delaminating, IMO; only a matter of time. Manufactured to last just long enough to get them through the 3 year, 36,000 miles. Wonder if the new Tacomas will have the same issue… looks...
A standalone front crossbar/rack that attaches to the windshield mounts and possibly ditch mounts so we can simply use it along with a hitch rack to haul kayaks, lumber, etc without having to ruin the convertible function with a heavy, overpriced “bro-fab” rack monstrosity. Can’t believe this...
Maybe like $300 for all 5 max if you want to get any real interest. Get on FB and look they are easy to find. Have the tires taken off and sell those separately for another $300 or so if they r low miles. I sold the stock tires to a guy with an old Tundra for $250 (15,000 miles on them) and my...
This is wrong on so many levels lol. First off, both are still available. Second, the 2.3 would certainly be considered the more reliable option between the two Ford engines. Third, if reliability is a concern then buying the new 4Runner would deff not be wise in year 1 considering what the...
Went with factory set mostly because of the tank skid’s one-piece construction/beefiness. Price is hard to beat for what you get. If I had a two door that came with tank skid I might have got something else.
1) A Trektop Pro version like Jeeps used to have with the glass windows in the rear. I think lots of folks wouldn’t mind the top not folding all the way back if it meant we got a glass fold up rear panel and sliding side windows. Bonus points if u could also integrate factory rear roof rack...
How are you liking the Rallytop after having it awhile? Been thinking about getting one mostly because I don’t like any available roof rack options out there for the standard hardtop as much as a nice Thule/Yakima track setup and this allows for those to be installed.
Any rattles, gaps, etc...
This - car buying 101. Be non- committal until you are sure the out the door price is as low as possible (you’ll likely need to give the vibe you are leaning toward financing to get the price down). DO pay cash if you can but don’t say that is what you are doing until you sit down with finance...
I think they look better when color-matched to the body and on wider trucks with 37’s like a Raptor setup (though they are better looking than terrible stock Raptor flares). To me, still not as nice as the standard flares but I prefer more of a clean, minimalist look.
I do think they’d look...
I ordered my Bronco w/ a hardtop and took it on/off many, many times before getting tired of it and switching to a Trektop. I do not suggest chopping alignment bolts off….I do highly suggest biting the bullet and buying a top lift pro immediately if you do plan to take it on/off regularly… makes...
I want a 2 piece fiberglass hardtop so I can mount roof rack tracks to the top. Been thinking about getting one of these but $4300+ seems high considering no wiper/defroster and the fact their Jeep versions are almost $2,000 less. I feel like if they dropped price to $3,000 -$3500 range they’d...
Haven’t checked back on this thread in a while - has there been any sort of effective resolution to this issue yet? Not looking forward to the noises coming back this winter… was hoping there would be a fix by now.
Only prob with the Mabett ones is that I would want to remove the nets first since they are all stretched out and doing that for rear doors requires drilling out the plastic welds that hold them in the door panel. I think after drilling those out there wouldn’t be anything to attach the install...
My door nets are getting stretched and bad looking - I like how the JCRs reuse the factory trim pieces but I’m worried they might stick out too much and annoyingly bump my leg, especially when resting on the dead pedal (manual trans driver). I also take doors off regularly and debating if...
I bought my capable front bumper takeoff from a guy who got an aftermarket front bumper. Since he had sensors, he gave me the plugs that came with his bumper and they fit perfect (pic below). Can’t remember which brand he said bumper was, but I see Lobo sells plugs. Their description says does...
The 2.3 has plenty of power especially if you add the performance tune but totally fine without it. The 2.3s best feature tho is that it comes with the stick shift+crawl gear... you are missing out if u get the auto. Also, if you ever want to put tires bigger than 33s on, you will need the 4.46...
The only real solution is sell it for $6,000+ on FB marketplace while you still can and rid yourself of the inevitable. Once this starts happening to every top over the next couple years they won’t be worth anything at that point.
Back when I ordered mine I went Big Bend because the BD was like $3500 more (even after adding locker to BB) and I also felt like I was paying for wheels/tires I didn’t want. I also like the optional tan interior on Big Bend a lot more than the random blue accents they put in the BD (not sure if...
Geolander G015 are insanely good for this application. Handle like all season tires, but are somehow amazing in the snow and much better off-road than you would expect. They actually look really good in the 33” size too. I very well might put them on when my factory K02s wear out. You can...
