I'd be highly concerned about your steering rack. Look at the 74Weld if you are going to run that large of a tire. Fitting big tires at ride height isn't hard. You need to cycle the suspension at various steering angles to actually see if they fit.

I trained under a professional, Concours level detailer as a part of my apprenticeship at a racecar builder. I learned a lot of great lessons, and got really proficient at paint corrections, and even wet sanding. You can grab a foam cannon off of Alibaba, they are all the exact same one. Mine...

Did you consider running heavier front springs instead of the spacers? I'm considering doing that instead.

First, the Bronco isn't an AWD system. It is still a two speed transfer case, that when slip, or a hard acceleration event happens, it essentially goes into 4H. The transfer case allows for slippage to prevent CV binding. End of the day the Broncos 4A is in 2H 99% of the time. The Land Cruiser...

So the whole B&O system that we have isn't actually Bang & Olufsen. "Sound by B&O" or whatever it is called, just means that B&O tuned the DSP. Some Fords do have actual Bang & Olufsen systems, and the brand is spelled out, not "B&O."

I'm miserable at excel. My wife is also an auto engineer and is a literal master.

Bean counters are the arch nemesis of engineers.

Ha! I'm sure they tried. I'm in technical sales now, so very very used to the bidding process. Bilstein either came in the lowest (Probably not), or Ford haggled them to death and dangled the carrot. Which is funny that the WildTrak has Foxes, and not the Ford Performance lift kit. A part of...

I completely understand your reasoning. I'm an automotive engineer, and know the factory Bilsteins are built to the lowest price point possible. Designed to last right up to the end of the warranty. If Fox or Eibach won the bid, it would probably be the same. 6100s are the best shock in...

Yeah... The V60 Polestar is the ultimate daily driver and sleeper. Mine is silver too, for that added sleeper effect. 455 hp, 523 lbs of torque. Ohlins... 6 piston Brembos...

That is right. Plus a midrange speaker in the center. It sounds pretty good, but the Bronco is so damn loud on the highway, the acoustics are trash. Now driving down a backroad at 45-50, it is awesome. I completely forgot about the kick panel speakers, by your knees, but I see a lot of...

The hardest part is wiggling it through where the passenger LCA is. It is like playing tetris, but with a heavy, long thing of metal.

Steps are excellent. Only takes two minutes to install or remove. They slip right on the factory sliders. I am 6'2" but use them all of the time for my tent and awning.

Yikes. My daily is my V60 Polestar, it has 44 miles of electric range. 99% of the time I only drive in electric, but if I needed to drive on the gas engine only, I get 34 mpg highway.

I didn't watch the video, but I am very familiar with the topic. I stuck to +30 offset to keep Ford designed parameters with my tire size. If I went 37s I'd be good at around +20.

The new Prius is dope.

I'll be at a mile high this summer and will report back.

Built at the lowest price point possible per Ford. Upgrade to the 6100s on all four corners instead of buying a new shock.

Maybe a few hours. It isn't bad. I am about to drive to Montana and my alignment is perfect. I don't want to mess with it until I get back. Another thing to add to you list is spare tierod kit. I keep mine in the back at all times.

Hoss 3.0 steering rack. That should be the next thing you do. I feel like my 2.0 is puny even on 33s in the dirt, and I'd love the piece of mind of having the weakest link of this platform sorted. I have a 3.0 rack sitting in my garage, just haven't installed it yet. EDIT: I am only...
