Keep in mind that is one of the most heavy ways to go about this.... We have the Lobo winch skid on our 2dr. Pros: Weight is kept low, doesn't affect clearance (approach angle), lighter than many winch bumpers + skids. Cons: Need to crawl on the ground to operate clutch, sit or kneel on...

You're an off roader. He's an "overlander". Big difference! You have Spare Delete, much lighter tongue weight trailer (sub 300lbs) and truck rides level when loaded. He likely has 500lbs + of gear in the truck, rear spare, heavy tongue weight (300-500lbs) overland trailers are notorious...

That's the best idea. Sell and build a Raptor. Better in every area! Except cash... however, it sucks to be weighed down in life with cash. HAHA

That won't work. He's hauling a trailer and way overloaded. He needs springs and shocks setup for the weight he is hauling. There is no simple solution at this point. Structural crossmember has been removed as well.

Dealers are still playing games with pricing. All of the listed prices online are after any/all rebates which you won't qualify for everything. Things like a "trade in" credit. Many require you to be "local" as well (so they get the future servicing). And then there's the added "fees" and...

Why does WARN recommend wiring directly to the battery? Simple. HIGH AMP DRAW. Less connections the better. Add a battery disconnect if really concerned. These complicated systems with numerous connections present their own issues. And much higher likelihood that your winch won't work...

I think the drop bracket lifts are a great option if going above 2". However, you do want the highest quality available... RoughCountry is built in China and not known for quality but cheapness. Belltech or Superlift may be the best? Once you go drop bracket there is no easy "going back"...

Did a video a while back comparing the Taco (similar/same as 4runner parts wise) to Bronco SAS. Tune out the room echo... Good stuff is a couple minutes in. Interesting thing is the Toyota is "overbuilt" for stock tire size. Bronco is at / near limits with 35s (not much strength margin). I...

4runner and Tacoma have much better rear axle clearance. Bronco = rock anchors (all the mounts). 4runner/Taco on 33s punches well above its weight class. I'd say comparable to Bronco on 35s. Just much less to hang up on. That being said. 4runner and Taco should stay at 33s. Anything...

Is it me or is $5,500 for arms a bit excessive? The most fanciest of upper control arms are ~ $1,500. So that makes $3,500 for the lower and $500 for axle extensions. But I guess I forgot Bronco tax. :)

Much more elegant and cheaper solution: https://titanfueltanks.com/titan-trail-trekker-ii-4040387?srsltid=AfmBOooSQo72rabgJisLAyuH7PJ-pa0X9ohfpkEFzlxl6u2I49OGvBU0

We added a diff skid for the Raptor from Next Venture Motorsports. First diff skid I've run. I like the design because it helps protect the pinion and diff cover (a bit). Beat the snot out of it on our Sierra Trip. It may have saved the driveshaft / pinion numerous times (lots of impacts in...

Air intake is the least of your concerns if dunking the Bronco. And the stock setup is plenty high and has drains should water get into the air box

I know this sounds simple... but check the polarity. If neutral and ground are reversed it works but runs backwards and will cause this issue.

We know about clay mud. That is much of the PNW (like Tillamook State Forest). My buddy with BFG MTs and my truck with Ko2 hit trails and hill climbs in the rain many times. There were times we would be in 2nd or 3rd gear at redline getting up trails. Momentum and wheel speed is your friend...

Most guys buy tires for the "looks" no doubt. Otherwise, Mud Terrain tires wouldn't sell. Unless you trailer your rig... it will spend by far the majority of time on road. Mud Terrain tires are poor on road: rolling resistance (MPG), wet traction (compared to AT or Hwy), packed snow/ice...

BFG KO3 - Most recent improvement on the best performing all terrain of all time.

Tire pressure is specific to vehicle weight, tire build and speed. For instance, a Load C or passenger tire will "deflect" and flex at much higher pressures than a Load E tire. Running any tire with the sidewall "budging" at speed will create heat. With enough heat the tire will be damaged...

Wiring will be cooler when the engine is running... alternator will boost voltage to 14-15v from 12v battery provides.
