Just saw this video. At 0:21 you see the front of a Bronco in the background. At 1:06, you can see Big Bend non sasquatch wheel. This confirms that Roush has a big bend non sas with them, out testing. (not that I was doubting Backroad Driver, but confirmation is always good)

I originally ordered a 4 door BB 2.3 with 7MT and rear locker, but decided to switch to 4 door base sasquatch to get the front locker too. It's about $2000 more with the base sasquatch. I debated for a few days about spending that money(mainly whether I need the front locker enough to justify...
It is true to some extend. I have seen that in the Audi manual before. The awd system typically have tolerance in rolling diameter (some only across the same axle, some even between axles, the manual should have more info). I would say replace 2 tires if the vehicle only requires matching on the...
Went to the Bronco event at Theodore Robins Ford today. Took some pictures, don't have a ton to add.
Rear seat reclines, but top of the seat is only about an inch apart. It's rather pointless... I would actually feel better if they just forego that feature to keep the seat mechanism simpler...
I have to get a 4 door, no other way the wife would allow it. If the 4 door base comes with the 7MT, I would have 0 hesitation about getting the sasquatch package. Unfortunately, they don't. So if I want a 7MT, I have to go Big Bend. After adding the rear locker, it's within $2000 of a base...
Thank you very much for the information! I had no idea how much longer the labor was going to take, so that's extremely helpful.
In total, I'm looking at $550 for the ARB twin compressor, $2000 for front and rear airlockers, $500-600 in ring and pinion sets, $300 for install kits, and about...
I am seriously considering this too. My only hesitation is the welded ring gear on the stock open diffs. How much more will that bump up the cost in parts and labor? I believe we'll need new ring and pinion gears, which is $250 a set for the rear, guestimating similar cost for the front. But how...
Ford needs to delay all tow package to MY22, but make wiring standard for all builds. Do it like the hardtop fiasco. Simplifies build, and removes constraint. Win win!
(half serious...)

The ARB showcase vehicle released yesterday actually shows a ARB twin under the hood. It looks to be under the ECU near the passenger side fender
Not debating whether powertanks are better or not, just saying that ARB has indeed figured out placement
yah, probably rough measurements.
30 inseam + 3-4 inch of ankle height + 5-6 inches between crotch and the protruding part of the pelvic bone would be closer to 40. But many do wear the belt with the front below the belly, so it's not quite to the pelvic bone. So it's reasonable.
Peter
that cover specifically says it's the 3.5 though... are the 2 engines similar enough that the person used the 3.5 to demonstrate? Or is that guy running a 3.5 cover on the 2.7?
Peter
EDIT: nm, the thumbnail is a 3.5, but the actual video shows a different looking cover (but a cover...
My understanding is that you can change your order up to around the scheduled production date of your vehicle.
However, here's something that's been on the back of my mind: what happens if you convert with a base 4 door with the 2.3, then change on 6/20(or whatever date shortly before your...
I'll probably remove mine and replace it with either a stubby or a cover. I plan to tether off the phone and play music through an app (sometimes that would be iheartradio), so I don't really care about AM/FM signals.
Peter
Yah, I definitely see the 2.3 as the red headed stepchild. It's only relevant to me because Ford locked the 7MT with it.... Otherwise it's 2.7tt all the way (for me.)
I am sure the 2.3 is a great motor in its own right, and will be plenty for the Bronco. However, there are advantages of the...
There are a few on the market similar to this
Smittybilt Scout as mentioned
Valiant 452
FSR Overland
and Tuff Stuff 4x4 had a few trailer options available until recently. You may still be able to find them at some retailers or used.

You can also run B1 + custom pull to the dash area for accessory rail, or B1 + custom pull to a CB mounted inside the glove box.
I imagine that's why B1 and B2 terminates by the glovebox, and not directly to the hatch or visor.
Peter
Honestly, these wires look very small to be powering something such as an amplifier. Unless you are talking about a small amplifier 100w or less.
I don't see how a thin wire like that can pull 25 amp... (aux 1)
Peter
edit: here's some reference charts. 25A requires 12 AWG. and 12 AWG has wire...
