Impact driver. Only way to remove set screws from rotors, should work here no?

I've seen benefits on German cars with pure direct injection engines, where carbon builds up on the valves because there is no gasoline sprayed upstream acting as a solvent. These Ford engines have a design that does both direct injection and port injection - therefore catch cans should be...

Oh dang, that is a great idea.

Information is always good. "The more you know" as they say rings true - never a bad idea to make informed decisions.

One quick clarification that may have gotten lost in translation. @Bradley Thornton and I came up with an idea that you could measure the truck's rock rail from ground, and the lower control arm from the ground, and mark the tire width on the concrete. Proceed to lift the truck (straight up with...

Mud flaps seem to be a far cheaper option (and can easily DIY). Have you considered those or are you dead-set against them?

Dude you rock!! Thanks so much for this! Being able to check the ride height and control arm height and controlling where it all lines up for getting the measurements is pretty awesome. So it looks like the intersection of the steering axis is at approximately 5 15/16" and the center of your...

I'm 38, wife is 32. 100% 2 door. The Bronco has been her dream vehicle since she was a teenager - and the old school Bronco's that we loved the look of are 2 door, plus we don't have, or plan on, having kids so it was an absolute no brainer. And how often can you legitimately get to own your...

How is the handling with the -18 offset? Did you feel much of a difference during general driving, braking or acceleration?

Now that you've been driving with the +1 offsets now for nearly a month, how do you find the handling? Is it a bit tougher to steer? Any strangeness with braking/acceleration?

Per visit. So if a speaker goes, not worth your time with a $200 deducible. Also I would never get a third party extended warranty ever again - made that mistake before. The rules on what is, and isn't, covered even in a "bumper to bumper" warranty are quite lengthy. Only warranties through...

Slick looking, nice. What are you planning on sticking up there?

I'm curious as to how much the global semi-conductor shortage is playing a part in this. Apple iPads are in short supply because they are less profitable than their iPhones and are preferentially building their products with the highest profit margin. Same thing for Broncos? Ford will make a...

I appreciate your input, thank you very much. What's interesting is if you compare a stock Badlands with 285/70R17 +55 with a 315/70R17 +30, the additional height coupled with the pushing out of the wheel means that the SR is not increased by 25 mm it's only increased by 19 mm (theoretically, as...

This post you did was amazing, by the way. I bet probably every person on this forum has read it at least once. As you can tell with my Q on scrub radius I'm a details guy, and I am super appreciative of all the work you and others have done. For the 0.5" reference I was referring to the...

I was able to test drive both a soft top and a hard top. The soft top sounded like the windows were wide open. Plus it's cold here (Alberta Canada) and as anyone with a convertible here will attest - soft tops are no-bueno. I've known plenty of folks who sold their soft tops within 24 months of...

That's a fair question, however that is where a little bit of trigonometry would be required and potentially require taking the tire off. Taking tire off is slightly more prep so I'll just over the tire-on scenario measurements: 1. Without Tire Off: a. Distance from ground to upper steering...

End-game is having the confidence that changing tire offset won't move the scrub radius outside of my comfort zone for adding unnecessary wear and tear on the suspension components. Because we're talking about ~88 lb tires, the moment-arm applied to the components is not insignificant. Maybe I'm...

I would say it is likely going to be similar. If the Sasquatch has a, say, 10mm positive scrub I would imagine the non-Sasq is in a similar situation. That being said, without getting the measurements this is purely speculation on my part at this time.
