That is disappointing to hear. Maybe that is why there isn't much talk about them in threads on this board. I have beat the hell out of the ones on my Power Wagon over the years.
I'm on the fence as I'm not sure I want to go down the build route with this Bronco. I've already got two fully...
I've run a dorkel on my Land Cruiser for about 20 years now, and almost 10 on the Power Wagon. The biggest advantage other than water fording, is cooler intake temps which results in a tad bit better MPG (solid 1 on the Land Cruiser) especially here in AZ desert summers. ECM doesn't pull back...
I don't think enough Michelin tech trickles down to BFG. I work for the largest independent tire and wheel retailer in the US and I would not choose them. Ain't the late 1980's anymore.

I'm no f'n safety sally, but one of my biggest pet pives is dumb shits that mount their hi-lift to the hood or in this case on a damage multiplier brush guard. A decent impact, from any direction, that thing is a potential missile. Plus, I'd be willing to bet that dude has no lift...
The flange CV looks dry, so the only other place is the pinion seal. The DS of the pumkin and shield clearly have our AZ dust stuck on there. As someone mentioned above, you might want to check the diff breather tube and make sure it isn't obstructed somehow. Going up in elevation (which we can...
This time of year here in N. Scottsdale its Boomer Snowbird Season. You'll see more kitted out Jeeps and Bronco's (most jeeps) covered in BD, Hi-Lifts (with no usable lift points), empty Roto-Pax, triple bypass Kings, winches galore, and don't forget the color contrasting (or matching) bow...
