I have owned the Nitto, Toyo and the Cooper STT on various vehicles over time.
-Nitto 35x12.5 R17was very good on my 3/4t F250 and had over 30k miles on a heavy truck when I sold it- still plenty of miles.
-Toyo is great on my '75 Bronco street queen (37x13.5 R15). They are a heavy tire on a...
I have run Warn, Ramsey, Milemarker and Smittybilt on personal vehicles and been around alot of the Chinese winches. Sort of 'grew up' on the 8274 which I have on my classic Bronco and it's still the best winch by far. Milemarker has suffered with the intro of all the Chinese stuff and Ramsey...
As others have noted, its not related to any of the tops. My Chevy 2500 (also white) has streaks under the mirrors just like this. I haven't washed it in a while and there is no rubber or black anything to leach...
True- I think it was a Jeep and they were trying to prove something. Need to use caution when pulling out with a kinetic rope or even winching. That said- these mounting points need to be reinforced for the stock pull points- even more so for a winch bumper.
I’m right there with you. The Maxlider looks great- except the ends- not a fan of the old school grill guard either, but that’s optional. They just don’t look right even on a standard Bronco where it meets the flares.
Door handle cups from StickerFab. Great idea, terrible execution (poor China Mfg quality). First one snapped in two when inserted into the door handle and gouged the door panel. Thankfully they were cheap enough that I tossed them in the trash.
I got the front top bag with my Bronco, but have purchased the door and mid top bags from Ford with my points- these are the 'garage' bags. There really does not seem to be much difference in the level of padding.
The difference seemed to be that the on board storage is made of a canvas like...
Put these in my ‘23 Raptor over the weekend in advance of adding some accessory lights with Halos- I intend for the Halos to come on with the marker lights.
install is straightforward once you pull enough fender liner fasteners to get behind it on the driver side. Passenger side is accessible...
There are others with a winch more integrated into the bumper- and some less costly. I didnt like the ends on the Maxlider where they sit in from of the fender flares. Doesn’t integrate well on the Raptor.

the winch above the bumper is common on many tried and true bumper designs and if the bumper is designed for it, it will not fail. Aesthetics is an individual thing and sometimes it doesn’t look right.
The Lobo off-road support is a good design, if you want to hack away at some of the factory...
An alternative option here... why not install a limit strap on the suspension? This would ensure no damage to the lift puck, or more importantly the shock... The shock shouldn't be the limiting component in a good system- it's the most expensive part.
you should jump on classicbroncos.com and ask for a volunteer, you would probably have dozens of owners near you who would love to help. If you were closer, I would let you use mine.
Credit Union- especially in this financial climate. It was a couple points below Ford when I bought A couple months ago. Expect the rate to be north of 6%
I've had my '23 for about 6 weeks, have 2,200 miles on it and noticed the same sometimes at idle. Doesn't seem to impact the drivability, but its more noticeable the longer I sit stationary at idle.
I just assumed it was par for the course with the 3.0L. Doesn't feel like a missfire, just...
