I think I am the (or one of) poster child for praising offroad focused IFS. But I have to praise this to! There's nothing to complain about, cool fabrication, cool results! Having seen Wranglers converted to IFS, nobody has any right to complain about SAS'd Broncos lol I'll praise any...

Its taken more will power than I apparently have to not reply to your various messages. I appreciate that you seem to be wanting to keep everything cordial and everyone "together". I also appreciate that you seem to be interested in a technical discussion on the capabilities of the Bronco vs the...

Has anyone bought the Rockymounts Backstage? I just ordered it. Seems like a no brainer, the swing out function is very important to me, otherwise I may have considered some cheaper options. I am pretty sure I will need a hitch extension in order to fit the bikes behind the spare, but I want to...

I will never not love that simple utilitarian look

7/14/20 morning res, 1/21/21 order, switched to soft top a month ago reluctantly (but not as bad as missing Nintendo grey interior). Where's my 7spd manual crew!

That's for when you get in deep water and lose traction due to buoyancy. Then you open the drain plugs and shout "Open the ballasts!" like you are hunting for Red October

Even if I loved the look of the look of the Cyber Truck (which I don't) and even if I had reserved one (I haven't) I would still prefer for Elon to completely focus on SpaceX project Starship/Superheavy (which he is). That's way more important, impressive and consequential than the Cyber Truck...

A lot of people complaining about this not being apples to apples, TFL didn't build or buy the other rigs, that's what was available, that's what was going wheeling, and Tommy tagged along for the video. Not a lot to complain about other than how much effort it takes just to get 35's on a...

See above comments, it all has to do with conservative wheel package and the dynamic clearances they have to meet. The rebound travel is the same in either case, the badlands just runs more jounce travel which can be translated as "35's would get closer than 25mm something at full jounce". No...

They are the same suspension aside from the Squatch version of HOSS having slight additional lift from the coil over and slight reduction of stroke length, which means less wheel travel. This has been well documented in other threads, not to mention various non-sas badlands have already been...

Just look at Vaughn Gittens 2 door Bronco from the KOH demos with true 35's and RTR wheels. Makes a huge difference IMO

If the bone stock Wrangler could be repeatedly demonstrated by Jeep to exceed 800 on the RTI ramp, wouldn't they have paraded that out the moment Bronco published numbers? It would be crazy not to. I think the biggest issue with what you have pictured is that you are not on perfectly flat...

If you are going purely for the look I would recommend "True" 35's or maybe 36's you will add a lot of that beefy look just with chunkier tires. If you really want to run 37's and wheel it hard you will need to run longer upper control arms, and perhaps more if you want to improve wheel travel...

Right, I know why they did it, but my whole point with the following post was that they baked in excessive tire clearance with the HOSS setup. This is great if you are going to through larger tires than 35's on the Squatch with minimal effort. It also means that 35's can be run on the Badlands...

As I said, to each their own. Wheel travel gets results, and obviously so does larger tires. I have yet to see an obstacle failed because a slightly oversized tire kissed the frame. But I have certainly seen situations where even the slightest bit more flex or jounce protection would have made...

Neither will it in your OEM 25mm tire clearance right?

They claimed the wheel travel of the Bronco (Badlands) is 17% greater than the Wrangler. This is true, and is very beneficial offroad especially at high speed. Nobody cares though because 17% more wheel travel on IFS does not equal 17% more RTI score (how the the claim has been interpreted and...

I'll certainly let you know. If Ford gave me the option to have an inch more wheel travel than the Badlands in exchange for having to butter up the frame and sidewall before full lock I would take it! 😂

Ford has to have 25mm dynamic clearance, meaning that they take a CAD model of the tire in every possible position and then inflate it by 25mm and make sure that not a single thing touches that package clearance. I will gladly take sub 25mm clearance if it means 5-10mm more wheel travel. But to...

(whispers quietly so not everyone hears) "just add the 35's to the Badlands, wheel travel is king"
