Definitely! Oh the wheel hop
thanks for the quick reply @SierraBronco great photos and detailed info. I seem to remember 74Weld doing a video of a failure like this that they brought parts in and repaired on the trail. The Foutz ends are just like the RPG. I’ll have to look into the Rock...
@SierraBronco as mentioned excellent write up. Curious what were the specifics of the two failures? Agree there’s a torque effect with the portals due to the offset. As @87-Z28 said everything is a compromise. As nice as the IFS and rack steering are for daily driving they’re also more fragile...
Same problem here, 68 Bronco parts and loads of Bronco Wildtrak front and rear suspension parts. Time to list on the for sale page. I heard some years ago if you move something more than 3 times in a year it’s time to sell it
You didn’t say what model Bronco you have. I’m guessing it’s a Wildtrak. If you don’t want to have to use Forscan to go in and program the switches on the BRaptor paddle shift steering wheel, then you just remove the left and right switch clusters (the circuit boards under the rubber button...
What the hell has happened to integrity these days? I recently had a new set of RCV axles installed that I’d purchased from another Bronco parts dealer because I had store credit there. I took them to a shop to get them installed. I drove my Bronco home and discovered the driver’s side outer...
Are the drain plugs metric thread or SAE? Just wondering if 1/2” AN 901 aluminum crush washers would work or if it needs that extra .05” that the 14mm washers offer
I’ve got a set from my Wildtrak that I just had portals and Foutz double shear heim rod ends installed on it. They have 3500 miles on them all on road
I have a JCR skid I’m going to be installing after I change the engine oil in our Wildtrak 2.7 and have decided to change out the plastic transmission oil pan while I’m at it. I’d obviously prefer to install the PPE deep pan but will I have enough clearance for it?
As you can see in my previous post I was able to install the BRaptor trim on my Wildtrak wheel so the opposite is also true that the Wildtrak will fit the BRaptor wheel with a little trimming to clear the switch mounts. The blue tape is a close approximation of the area to be trimmed for it to fit
Ditto on that. I just finished installing the BRaptor wheel on my 2022 Wildtrak Lux Bronco. To avoid needing Forscan to program the switches I removed my old switches (circuit boards) and replaced the BRaptor circuit boards with them. I reused the BRaptor black plastic switch backing plates. I...
@Rfisher75 when you swapped switch internals did you use your original black plastic backing cover or the full coverage back cover from the BRaptor switches? Reason I ask is the holes in my Wildtrak circuit board don’t line up with the BRaptor backing cover.
I haven’t gotten it swapped yet. I had to straighten up my garage first and install my DV8 rear tailgate spare tire reinforcement. That’s done so I hope to get the steering wheel swapped now and then install my ARB under hood compressor mount. I saw your post about swapping switch internals. How...
I’d like to see them in a+38. I was looking at the 703 in bronze with +30, also really like the look of the 321 machined but it’s not bead grip and I need more back spacing. Maybe put them on the 68 Bronco
That's great news @Rfisher75! I'll be trying the swap on my 22 Wildtrak this next week. I've had the Braptor wheel sitting in the garage for months waiting for a harness to be made and now it appears that we don't need one
