Iām running the same synthetic cable on my utility winch since around 2005, and it was used when I bought the winch. It looks a little frayed, but hasnāt failed yet. I mainly use it for pulling vehicles onto a car trailer or pulling cut logs around, nothing really dangerous. The enemy of...
I agree with you on the Badlands non SAS vs SAS not being completely cost effective because last I looked they are charging you $2K for the auto trans you arenāt getting. The non SAS has more suspension articulation because of the smaller tires. I spent about $1300 net to upgrade my wheels and...
The skids are all the same. It was a weird issue, but at the end of the day not a big deal. I left everything a turn loose from hand tight until all the bolts were in. My only other options wouldāve been to use the die grinder to extend the holes in the skid plate a little to let it slide...
I would take a 7.3L V8 in a Bronco, I might even opt for the auto transmission to get it. The modular motors seem too wide for the smallish engine bay, the 7.3L could fit maybe. The inline 6 option (still needs a turbo) would be great too. In reality this is just mental mastrubation, as Ford...
If in doubt go Sasquatch, itās a good deal on all the extra kit and will have better resale later. If getting the auto trans I see no reason to choose a 2.3L over the 2.7L except for saving $2K, Iād much rather have the extra power. I went 2.3L with the manual trans, no SAS with manual option...
I bolted mine on last weekend. Everything fit well until I was bolting the engine skid back in place. The passenger side was problematic, the rear edge of the recessed āconeā was hitting the trans skid. I loosened the trans skid and pulled it towards the rear with a ratchet strap and pulled...
Not a touchy subject, Iām not a fan of any blatant BS statements on the forums. If left unchecked they are later quoted and eventually become the perception in our hobby. The HF winch may be fine, I donāt know as I donāt have one. I have no dog in this fight, the last Warn winch I owned was a...
What are you on about? The Zeon is assembled in Oregon, the HF is made by slave children in China. Warn does use global sourced components in the Zeon, but the assembly is advertised as being done in USA.

I like the Weathertech in my Badlands with the washout floor. I couldnāt find any other aftermarket mats with separate part numbers for washout vs carpet.
I owned a 2022 Lightning Pro for a couple months. I agree with you on the standard F-150 design being unobtrusive.
It was awesome to drive and the acceleration is savage, but electrics arenāt ready for prime time yet. The ~200 mile range, poor charging infrastructure, and extremely high energy...
I have Weathertechs in my 2 door, I canāt say I have any experience with the rear mat as I removed my rear seats, but the front mats fit perfect and give good coverage. Weathertech does offer different part numbers for carpet vs washout floors, mine are for the washout floors in my Badlands.
For $595 the second driver should get their own Bronco.
With the voucher my wife cost $145, well worth it for that price. All in I paid $255 including the optional insurance.
I also went with a 7/8ā rope based on the weight of the Bronco. My most likely use is in deep sand, so a kinetic rope is usually the right choice. I carry a 30ā strap as well, good to have options.
I did a bunch of reading before ordering and ended up with the Grip On brand. I purchased two...
The screw will bite into the back side of the step. I fitted some stainless washers and neoprene washers where the screws hit the factory rock rails. I was concerned about rust over time.
