Ha! Ditto

Yeah, but the reason people might not buy it is because it won't work, which we are free to comment about. 🙂

You wouldn't go wrong there! I want a 2dr, which wouldn't make sense to use as a Raptor version. The longer wheelbase of the 4dr would go along with the Raptor's purpose of go fast Baja style build. And, if they give it the 3.0.......f#ck yeah!

Very cool, thanks! I've driven Jeeps for years, never could get myself to get a JK or JL as a daily driver and light off road. But, I love what they've done with the new Bronco and I'm really looking forward to having it.

How does it drive compared to your JL? BTW, my next car acquisition was going to be a Porsche, but now that is pushed out indefinitely because I decided to order a Bronco. '87 911.....nice.

Awesome that you had a ton of fun! Did you happen to go over and do anything on the rock crawl course?

In racing suspension stuff it's referred to as a panhard rod. Interesting that in NASCAR they call it a track bar. Same thing, who cares.

Yes and no. Yes, weight always matters, as there is more kinetic energy to control. But also no, since the springs carry the load, not the shocks. Heavier car, higher rate springs. A spring is rated as pounds per inch, like 300 lbs per inch of spring compression. If a car weighed 4000 lbs, and...

That should work fine. The rear track bar is pretty darn level, and Ford engineers made it very long, so I think it would not be an issue at all. Also, since both BD and BL have all the skid plates and bumpers and same interiors if there is a difference in spring length with the BL shocks, I'd...

Have never seen a surge brake option for flat towing. Don't see how that is possible. Do you mean proportional braking? There are two kits out there that I know are proportional. I use the Air Force One which is proportional. The RVibrake is a proportional system that is a box on the floor, but...

We don't know yet. It depends on how each tow bar manufacturer designs their tow bar mounting brackets. I'm thinking we'll also have to keep factory front bumpers because aftermarket bumpers won't work with the tow brackets. Tow brackets will be designed for factory bumpers. Have to wait and see.

Yep, I'm with you there. Also, forecasting potential sales volume based on labor inventory which includes the predicted tech productivity. Thankfully, we are busy all the time. We have maybe one day a year where a few techs run out of work for an afternoon. Through this summer, on a Wed we...

Flat rate is the easiest to forecast labor costs. It provides a fixed cost per billed hour. If a tech is paid clock hours, how do you figure labor cost per billed hour if you don't know how many hours will be spent on the job? I'm pretty straight up with my crew, and occasionally make this...

How in the heck are you making a payment on a car that you haven't taken delivery of yet? What bank would make that loan, and why do you have a sales/finance contract when the vehicle isn't there yet? Sorry, don't understand this, worked at dealerships for 29 yrs.

Pics of it turning sharp would be cool! Let us know when you get it twisted up and how the tires clear. This is what I might do, since I want different rims and might go with 35's on the non-SAS badlands. Looks great, BTW, and congrats!

I'm not seeing that the ends come off of this bumper. No seems anywhere, and it has sensors close to the ends of the bumper. Back to HD Mod bumper for me. Even though this is better looking, it's too big for serious off road.

Ok, sorry. I get it. Just puts me in contortions to see stuff like that. One reason my shop is auto repair now and not off road, just couldn't get myself to put my name on stuff like that. But, I get it. Nice to see you experimenting. 🍻

Once they dump the 22" wheels. Sorry, as an off road shop, I'd be embarrassed to post a pic of 22's on an off road car. I get the point, trying to see what fits. Still......

Yeah, where do the ends come off? I'm good with it if the ends come off, it is better looking than the HD bumper. Never thought that was a very good looking bumper, and it looked like it would be even less good looking with the ends off. Possible good thing here....pics of where the ends come...
