I appreciate how almost no light is present on the hood. My “ditch lights” are SAE Amber driving lights that face forward. The height is awesome compared to the mod bumper location. I would consider adding these separately but I’d want diode dynamics over BD so all my white lights are the...

I stated that inflation was too high for a 2.5 year period, not that it was still too high. The policies of very high interest to reduce the rate of inflation have begun to work to the point where people aren’t taking on new debt. The fed announced rate cuts are coming in 2024. Unfortunately...

I drove a 4 door Wildtrack and have a 2 door non SAS Badlands. The Hoss 3.0 is nice and smooth over bumps, I’d love to find some takeoffs for my Badlands.

Doesn’t matter if it’s land access, gun rights, or fisheries; they just keep coming to take away as much as they can. Next on their list is the internal combustion engine and our gas stoves. Elections have consequence, we need to make sure we stop screwing them up.

I don’t see any responses about the crap economy with high inflation (about 18%) for the past 2.5 years. Also factor in the new union contract that Ford is having to pay for and of course prices are going to increase. I was browsing pickups online yesterday, a F-150 Lariat is now $70K+, up...

Looks good. I’ve got the SS3 sport amber SAE driving on the pillars currently and have been thinking about adding an extra set of SSC1 I already have in that same position for more side lighting on trails.

I’ve been running mine at 34 psi with 285/75R17 C load rated Toyos.

The twill is a much more premium material, like a factory convertible top. The black diamond is your typical cheap vinyl. The vinyl is shinier, the twill is more of a matte finish and looks better against the MIC top. I was looking for a picture with the Sunrider closed so you could see the...

I believe they are closed in NH through the ski season. Maybe try booking for May/June?

I clicked on your link and initially wasn’t impressed with the ”more of the same” product, but I really like the design aspects of your front winch bumper/plate. Cutting out the center of the bumper to push the winch back is what I’ve been thinking is the best way to increase strength (keeps the...

The narrower 7.5” wheels of the Big Bend are less than idea for really wide tires. BFG shows 7.5” as the minimum width for a 295/70R17, but I doubt that tire would fit without removal of crash bars. I would safely stick with a 285/70R17 that so many here are running without issue. That last...

Very good advise from @MNBigfoot about the gearing. I think a 265/70R17, same size as Black Diamond, is an improvement in looks and capability for a Big Bend without harming fuel economy or ride. The next step from there is a 285/70R17 that gives another 1” of height and .8” of width. These...

There are videos of such testing on YouTube. I notice no difference on my Bronco behind the painted dots and my work truck or wife’s Tacoma with the same detector mounted on clean glass.

Glad you figured it out. I used these dual lock pieces. Unfortunately the adhesive on the dual lock isn’t sticking to the plastic after a while, so I may need to modify my setup like you did with double sided tape. My Radenso DS1 has a 1/4-20 hole in the top, so my spacer is bolted to the...

I agree the 255/85 is an interesting size that will fit, but I wouldn’t consider an E rated tire for one of these Broncos. I know plenty of people do it, but my previous experience with trucks lighter than 3/4 ton with E rated tires was unacceptable.

The 10 speed has more choices of closer ratio overdrive gears, so maybe yours stays in 8th or 9th gear more rather than 10th with larger tires but you don’t even need to pay attention. With the manual I have to decide between 5th and 6th every time and on every hill. I drive by the boost gauge...

If you stick with 285/75R17or the Kenda 35x10.5R17 they should be narrow enough to fit on your stock wheels with no or slim crash bars. Most do a 1” front level like I plan on doing. Here is an example of the Kenda’s on your semi wheels with a 1” front spacer...

The 285/75R17 measure 33.9”x11.5”, not 35”. The 315/70R17 Sasquatch tires actually measure 34.5” tall, so the 285/75R17 is within .6”. I found the +35mm offset (pushed out 20mm from stock) squares up the 285 wide tires so the tread is just covered by the non SAS flares. I didn’t have to...

This is mine with 285/75R17 on +35mm offset wheels. Stock suspension but I plan on adding a 1” leveling block up front this winter.

Mine still sounds like it’s chewing on rocks when cold. I’m putting off the fix until they get it closer to right. I have another year of 3/36 warranty and another 6 years of ESP.
