Even us regular Broncos deal with it. I'll always think it's fun to have a short impromptu stoplight run, win or lose. Did it just the other week with this older loud Mustang GT, and managed to keep pace for longer than the Mustang owner probably expected.
Anyone with leaking shocks during the warranty period have them denied due to aftermarket wheels and tires? My 285 tires weigh more than the 255 OEM Big Bend tires but the wheels weigh the same. Overall about 10 lbs more per tire.
I'm debating the time and effort of putting my OEM wheels and...
I did an "off the shelf" Borla Pro XS that was $110 on Amazon (center and offset piping). It's probably smaller than the one in the Bronco kit. I had it welded on for $50 and added a $90 stainless turndown to eliminate the factory muffler.
I don't expect you'll have any issues with yours...
There is a warning in the owners manual to not open the cargo area in cold temperatures. I've done it without issue, but only by making sure the heat inside the vehicle had helped warm the windows a bit. Probably something a dealer or salesperson should mention, especially in northern climates.
No problems with mine for the past 23,000 miles, purchased in 2024. Seems like the main issues were with older sets. I can understand why early buyers who have had failures are upset and lost faith, though. Photos of mine lit and unlit.
Tip of the day for those that went with a lower offset wheel and need to adjust the spare spacers on the tailgate.
This 2' section of dishwasher/washing machine hose is $3.99 at Menards. Measure and cut off what you need, and it slides in snugly. 👍
Results from my 2023 4 door 2.7 BigBend non-Sas (3.73 rear end on 33's) with JB4 on Map 3 93 octane tune and Borla muffler. It launches softly from both idle or brake torquing, so it's a terrible 2.5 60'. Best stock pass on Dragy was a 14.96 at 92.6 mph quarter mile and 0 to 60 of 6.63.
So...
I've got the Nokian Outpost P rated in that 285 70 17 size on mine. I believe they are about 45 lbs. I typically run them between 33 and 37 psi. Have 23000 miles on them and wearing well with low road noise. Went through IL winter just fine with them, and dirt roads are not an issue. They will...
I bought a vented seat cushion powered by a fan from Amazon last year. It works well enough to not make me hate the seats anymore. Mine is an older version of this one...
The link below is a sample race with the F-150s demonstrating that the lower end torque advantage of the 2.7 helps it actually be quicker than the 5.0 in this particular sample of 2 stock vehicles. Yeah, I'd also love the deeper sound of a V8, and there are some really quick 5.0 F-150's out...
I somewhat took this approach too going for my non-Sas Big Bend as I'm not an off-roader and didn't need the heavy duty armor and equipment needed for protection on trails. Driving dynamics between the lightest and heaviest are certainly going to be different, and that's an important factor for me.
