Still happy with these? Saw they expanded their size lineup quite a bit, and are discontinuing a few sizes of the Terra Grappler to reduce overlap.
Would have assumed looking at the tread the Terra would have been the quieter, more civil tire, but there's not a lot of feedback on the Recon yet.
I expected it to be a problem, especially with a lot of the early reviews saying that wind noise drowned out the 'squatch Goodyears beyond 40mph.
In practice I've found that to be absolutely not true, the Goodyears singing the song of their people is evident at all speeds, and the wind noise...
I've definitely noticed mine is slow to react in both directions, when I leave the parking garage at work, it takes a solid 5 minutes of driving on the highway to show a believable number
If I was a betting man, I'd put solid money on anything from Ford keeping the power cap on 1st and 2nd gears in place to protect the transmission.
Whoever posted earlier that the Bronco is a slow vehicle is absolutely correct. Weight isn't an excuse for those acceleration numbers for the...
With the caveat of "I haven't done the actual install yet", I am staring at all the pieces and it looks like there would be a sizable gap if you installed the plastic front bash plate aft of the mod bumper. The oilpan plate at least looks interchangeable between the plastic and steel versions...
I'm kicking myself for not picking up a set of G015s and throwing them in the corner of the garage when they were $257 ea in the 315/70r17 size last month at Discount Tire (not considering whatever manuf rebate was running). Up to $308 a pop now, still a bargain for anything in the metric 35"...
That's what sharpies are for!
Only mostly kidding, but I have a take-off mod bumper with some small scratches that have me looking for touch-up options as well. Might do some experiments on the backside of the thing to see what matches before I install it. I'm hoping the go-to rustoleum satin...
So goofy, two and a half years and I'm still amazed at how much ridiculousness is contained in that animal. Knew nothing of the breed when I got her (for the wife, who's a Weim fan), but thanks to 'rona and working from the house around her 24/7 during the puppy years, she's convinced I hung...
Our english cream golden Wrigley and our jerkface Weimaraner Piper
Glad I didn't get the 2 door, the cargo area of the 4 door is exactly one asshole Weimaraner in size
If the diagram is accurate, it sure appears so.
Not a lot I like about the heritage models, but that style wheel in the factory 'squatch size and offset is very appealing. Hell, any more time spent trying to clean out the usual sasquatch wheel may drive me to get some eventually, Ford sent...
Once you get into the 35s the C-loads are rarer still.
35x12.5r17 AT tires:
315/70r17 AT tires:
Probably the worst thing about long-term ownership of Raptors/Squatched Broncos. So many great treads like the Falken Wildpeak AT3W, General ATx and Yoko Geolandar attached to sidewalls that would...
That’s my inclination, the C load/6ish ply tires seem to be a good compromise between a decent ride on marginal roads and sidewall durability when aired down.
There are a grand total of two honest C-load AT tires in 315/70r17 & 35x12.5, the now-ridiculously priced BFG K02, and the...
I've said it before, but the 285/70r17 is perfection for the daily driven offroader, given how inexpensive (well, relatively) and light the tire options are, and the sheer number of them in load ranges from SL to E.
I love my 'squatched Bronco, but being able to share 80% of the tire offerings...
Curious if anyone has heard anything further as to applications that fit the new style arms on the Bronco?
Been fairly disappointed in how the OEM ones have held up compared to the typical lifespans of the Bosch Icons I put on every other vehicle.
As long as we're talking front-facing, I've been perfectly happy with the back seat room (just get ready for small footprints on your seatback).
My only gripe is that even with the seatback in its most reclined position, it is still too upright for a few harness booster type seats. Had to play...
That's not bad, I'd imagine for most people installing these that would be a plus rather than a minus. Hell, it might even work out for me once I finally hang my secondhand modular bumper off the front. Once we leave this craphole office building and its parking garage that was designed by...
