  1. Paint protection film PPF -- considering XPEL for Bronco Raptor

    Yes, Kavaca PPF. Looked to me like it was one of the newer products on the market.
  2. Paint protection film PPF -- considering XPEL for Bronco Raptor

    A bit of experience for anyone interested. Last month a friend and I did a week long wheeling trip in UT. He has a 4Runner with Xpel PPF and I went with Ceramic Pro on my Badlands Bronco. We ran the same trails, same trees and bushes. Mine never showed a scratch, and hasn't shown a scratch. His...
  3. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    All of the trails mentioned can be done in a SAS Bronco. The ones with more ledges, like Moab Rim and Cliffhanger, rock rails are strongly recommended. I've taken bunches of XJ's on both of those trails. Two lockers and 35" tires gets quite a bit of capability. On the slickrock the lockers will...
  4. Tehachapi Loop (California Hwy 58)

    Next to the Kern River, off of 178 before Lake Isabella. Can't remember the name of the spot, it's over that bridge that looks like it goes nowhere.
  5. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    A couple weeks ago we did a trip to Kanab UT and drove through plenty of bushes and branches. Not a single scratch on my PPF. Very glad I did it.
  6. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    Never run Metal Masher. Poison Spider for sure. Moab Rim definitely. Elephant Hill is a long ways away, best to run it when camping in Canyonlands. Rose Garden haven't run. Cliffhanger is on the list. I'll never run Behind the Rocks again, long and boring. Hell's Revenge is a must. I won't run...
  7. Need Opinions - OBX SAS vs Badlands

    That's what many folks say about Jeeps....then they go out with friends, find it's a blast, and then start to empty their wallets on upgrades. Get one equipped for off road...
  8. Need Opinions - OBX SAS vs Badlands

    You could put good floor coverings like Weather Tech and good seat covers like Carhartt on the OBX and be done with it. Of course, I love my non-SAS Badlands. However, the rock rails, skid plates, and sway bar disco are really important to me. Shocks are the same on both vehicles, so ride should...
  9. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    A little more Moab eye candy: BTW, those are all Jeeps that I've owned. As much as I've loved them, I'm very happy to be in the Bronco. Looking forward to having it in Moab and meeting a bunch of you folks.
  10. Show me your Bronco with polished wheels!

    I wanted those wheels, but the offset wasn't right for what I wanted. Great looking wheels. Black is ........... .......... ..........
  11. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    I'm also arriving on the 1st. There will be trails to run every day from the 2nd through the weekend. there is plenty of time to plan and see what folks want to do. Heck, for years we would just meet at 9:00 am in the City Market parking lot and then decide what we wanted to do that day. Each of...
  12. Rack-Hack. HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

    Yeah, to do 35's on my Badlands I only used the bottom spacer on the 1" leveling kit, which was perfect. SAS is only .43" more lift than Badlands, so if the whole 1" kit is installed on a Badlands the front it will be too high. Mine sits level, and no rubbing that I have found front or rear with...
  13. Rack-Hack. HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

    An initial denial isn't a final denial if the service person at the dealership is wrong. Also, we don't know the details of someone getting denied warranty coverage because the vehicle had "dirt" on it. If there was abuse it isn't warrantied, so any warranty denial would have to be evaluated on...
  14. California WTB - wanted to buy - 5 Badlands takeoff wheels and tires

    I have 5 Badlands wheels, no tires. But, I'm a tire dealer so could help with tires. Let me know.
  15. Rack-Hack. HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

    Yes. Off road use doesn't cancel a warranty. Modification can cancel a warranty, but not use. Only qualification to this is direct impact, they won't cover damage, just failure of the part. BTW, I worked at dealerships for 29 years and own an auto repair shop and do warranty work, only saying...
  16. Rack-Hack. HOSS 3.0 severe duty STEERING RACK and TIE RODS ...Ford Performance M-3200-WT

    There should be little shock to the rack, since the tie rod breaks only after it bends first. The tie rod bends far enough to cause a crack in the threads of the inner tie rod next to the jam nut, so pressure is already absorbed by the collapse/bending of the tie rod before it actually breaks. I...
  17. Moab Bronco Safari 2023 Scheduled For May 2-6

    I'll be driving home to Bakersfield from Sand Hollow, dropping off the buggy, picking up the Bronco, and driving to Moab. :)
  18. Recommendations for Compressor + Accessories?

    I've had onboard compressors, big compressors, and simple portable compressors. All work fine, it's just a matter of how much money you want to spend. Sure, a dual ARB compressor is bad ass, and convenient. But, a simple portable does exactly the same thing it just takes a few minutes longer...
  19. Anyone planning on swapping out their Sasquatch fender flares?

    Not if you put more offset on aftermarket rims and bigger tires. I don't really like the wider SAS flares either, but I also don't think poke looks cool. I had to go with +18 offset to get wheels that I like, and so compared to the +30 offset of SAS wheels I have more poke than I want on my...
