I installed the SSV. I have the B&O system and it made a nice difference over the stock 4" speakers. SSV angles the pod so that it doesn't take up any more room than the stock pod. Just know if you get it unloaded, you need set of speakers that come with grilles. SSV does sell their grille...

When you're really pushing it in a corner, the decrease in body roll is pretty apparent. I don't know that I notice a lot of difference at slower speeds. The factory bar is pretty dinky. Here's a pic I took of both side by side. The dip in the bar is under the differential, where the factory...

I'm pretty sure that what was posted is supposed to be the retrofit. I just installed the version that replaces the stock sway bar using the OEM end links from Tom's Off-Road and those are not Ford sway bar end links. The sway bar looks to be very similar otherwise.

I have a 2023 Wildtrak and I figured this suspension was no different than other Broncos with different shocks and springs, but the 3.0 Hoss shocks will indeed not interchange with other models. They have completely different attachment pieces along with their own lower control arms. So...

I'd be curious to know the actual height of the 3" and 2.25" collars. Certainly there's is some multiplication once installed on the suspension, but what I'm trying to determine is how much is that factor.

I have yet to find where Ford requires a dealer to download and setup the calibration in our Broncos. Things can go wrong when you're flashing a tune. If you inadvertently disconnect the tuner while it's doing its thing, you can brick the PCM. Ford is not likely to warranty that. But looking...

I've had rod ends on some of my vehicles in the past and they're not for the faint of heart. It sort of depends how much daily driving you do and your tolerence for NVH. Don't throw the stock arms away. You can always go back to stock if they're not for you. I put an Icon track bar on mine...

Let me break it down further, because I'm still not getting it. I may be confusing the matter with the SGS harness, because I'm beginning to think it's not what I thought it is. I'm trying to determine exactly, like the location, where the speaker level wires are coming out of the factory...

I don't think we're on the same page, or I'm not understanding what that harness does. What and where are the OEM wires are you sending to your amp for the subwoofer signal?

This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I have not popped a panel off the rear passenger cargo area, so I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how the rear sub is wired. The harness you got from SGS goes from the OEM wiring harness to your amp inputs, right? Where did the wires...

Good info. Ford usually puts upper and lower limits for these types of parameters. Another is axle ratio. I just don't know where they are. Obviously you found the upper limit. Those fields are usually adjustable with tuning software once someone breaks the codes to the PCM and finds access...

If you're bad at math or just lazy, you can choose the closed value to your rev per mile data and use the circumference for that value. These ranges are good for tire diameters between 30" to 39".

I'm not trying to overtake this thread, but there might be a simpler way to go about this. The value needed for this calculation is based on the loaded radius of the tire (with the full weight of the vehicle) and there is always some variation in this data between Manufacturer's for a given...

1/2 spacers, as opposed to wheel adapters, will not have enough thread contact with your lug nuts. If you can't get at least 7 full turns of the lug nut on the studs, you don't have enough thread engagement. You might get away with 1/4" spacer, but you'd need to check the engagement. I've...

How did you wire the 3 way crossover for the KX3, since the kick panel and dash corners are on separate channels?

I just want to suggest another alternative to metra's mounting brackets for the kick panel speakers. Soundsgoodstereo makes speaker adapters for this and other applications out of thick HDPE plastic, as opposed to cheap, thin ABS plastic. I've used these in a couple of installs and think they...

There is no way to tell if your truck was tuned if you bought your truck used. They will not come with the performance tune from Ford. If you found the Pro Cal tuner in the console or glove box of your used Bronco, you might could assume it has a tune loaded. But if you have the device, you...

It's so easy a caveman can do it. All the tool does is download Ford's revised calibration to the PCM. Download the tune from the Ford Performance website, plug it into the OBD port and follow the directions the tuner gives you to load the tune. YOU are NOT tuning the truck. Your efforts...

My understanding is there are EQ adjustments in the base stereo that are processed through the head unit. That's not untypical with Ford's base systems with cheap cardboard speakers. The EQ settings can be set to flat with Forscan. Those with the B&O system that have tried those adjustments...

I used woofers in the kick panels, a pair of Hertz 165 Cs. I think Ford's intent was to set up the front speakers as more as of a component system. I used bass blockers at 600 hz in the 4" dash speakers. The woofers do a better job at mid bass frequencies and if you have the same frequencies...
