In all my time wheeling, I have only had to winch myself 3 times, all out of thick mud. I have used it to winch others more during trips, I don’t do a lot of hardcore rock crawling, but I do go out exploring solo occasionally, so having a winch is needed as a safety measure.

I used a 12.3mm drill bit (31/64 I think), it is a bit for drilling metal from Harbor Freight, just the two outside holes needed to be drilled. The inner frame horn reinforcement bracket bolt went right in. I did use smaller bits to start with, just the 2 sizes down so that it was easier to...

Openroad Panther 3S 13.5K, going to give it a try and see how it works.

I took the time today to install the @Maximus-3 winch mount saddle with the frame horn reinforcements. The directions that came with the setup are very easy to follow, the only issue I ran into was drilling out the outside holes for the frame horn reinforcements, which was a my drill issue. Now...

I am doing the Maximus-3 removable winch kit for my Bronco Raptor, it is currently sitting in my garage waiting for me to get started. Probably Sunday or Monday I will get it started, I will make a post about it when I get it done.

Nicely done, you won’t be disappointed!

There is going to be wind noise, especially when it is a soft enclosed tent. How far does it hang in the back?

Love mine in Marsh Gray.

I have the Morrflate 4 tire inflation system, the digital air hub wasn’t out yet, and it is well worth it. Because I already have my setup, I do not see a reason to upgrade to this, but if it was out when I was buying I would have purchased it.

Very nice looking, is does it make the rear area level with the backseats when they are folded down?

Did you relocate the front camera to the ACC radar box? Any issues with ACC working correctly with it there?

You know what to do…

I have the Modern Buggy 12LRK, it has worked great for me so far, about 10K miles towed. It slept three between the inside and RTT on a 7700 mile trip summer of ‘24, including running the entire white rim trail in Moab.

From what I saw with my Jeeps, yes plugging in for CarPlay results in the speed on any gps app being received from the vehicle, so to test and adjust for new tires required using it standalone. I did not have wireless CarPlay in any of my jeeps, so I am not sure if that would result in accurate...

There is no “right” way to aim them, they should be aimed however you want them to provide lighting. I have mine angled outboard and slightly down so that they provide lighting to the sides and edge of the road.

The 24 has 29K miles, which you don’t know if they are hard miles, but $15K less is a lot. I went with a 25 because the new 24 was only $3K less and had been sitting for over a year on the lot.

I can’t say upgrading from your Bronco to a Raptor is worth it, worth is a highly subjective value, but I can say that trading my Gladiator (which I loved) was worth it. I have had a few Jeeps and the progression was from a sport wrangler to the Rubicon Gladiator, and even then I spent $$$$ to...

I am interested to see how things go as you add the mods, I am at 5500ish miles on my Raptor and also routinely see 17.5-18 mpg on my daily drives. I am retired but do go to swim laps everyday on the base 20 miles from my house, this currently goes through a construction zone. I have 25, 35, 45...

I was trying to look at the Raptor Off-Roadeo for next summer, but there are no dates that show up. I can see all of the dates (that are full) for the rest of this year, but nothing past December 13th. Doers anyone know when the calendar for next year will open up?

Lug pattern is different between the Raptor and other trim levels, also they are M14-1.5 size lugs on the Raptor vs. M12-1.5 on other trims. I believe the Raptor is 6x135mm.
