I need some narrative to go with this picture. What am I looking at? It looks like UCAs and spacers. What is that black metal stuff in the back left? Does this go along with some new coilovers? Is this going to be a lift and how much height?
I was able to get out of this situation on the trail.
This happened to me yesterday. When I shifted into 4L, I think something happened in the front-end that didn't engage. I write this because the back tires were spinning and the fronts were not. I suspect that whatever this issue was...
Great build journal. I just read through the whole thread. The audio system stuff inspired me. I'm going to get that going.
One thing I would warn you about is storing stuff in that little compartment in the floor of the rear area. If you ever end up getting rain in the car, that cubby...
the warthogs come in 0 or -18 offset for 17". Unless you want a massive amount of poke, that's too much. You probably want to be somewhere around +30 to +12 offset for your eventual 35s.
the bandoliers do look very cool, if you could find your bolt pattern and offset.
You can download the as-built files through motorcraft. Flash that file onto your rig and you are back at factory.
Dig around in the forums on this site. It's all in there.
This whole thread has been exactly right. Except the 30mm offset being a total solution. That depends on the tire width (not the 35" height). If you have really wide tires, you might need wider wheels, and a little more offset.
For reference, I have 13.5" wide tires and I needed a little...
I get that you had problems with it and you are mad. But all my new cars have had e pkg brakes for a while. The bronco e brake has worked fine for 20k miles for me. I didn't love the location of the lever at first, but it's totally automatic now.
What's interesting to me is that this...
Get what you want. Just learned a new word recently. Goblin mode. When i read the e definition, I thought about buying and having my bronco. I'm good with it.
Oh, 1500 for all that wrapping? I'm gonna find a local wrap guy then.
Interesting approach with all that extra wrapping. I like it. You sure can't see the difference on the hood in the pictures.
Between a functional beadlock and mostly off road, I'd agree that the recommended wheel width is not very important.
One concern is if you go with spacers and you are swapping these for street setup, the spacers take some extra work to swap, with the two-piece design.
My other warning on...
Really well done. I'm most curious about the black piece on the B pillar. I have a white hard top from adv coming in nov dec jan and I'm afraid that black piece is going to stand out like a sore thumb. I'm going to use your references, chase down the materials, and try to wrap this piece...
There are some issues. I have had a soft top Badlands in the Northeast for 15 mos (through last winter). It has been good, but I am waiting on a hard top from Advanced Fiberglass Concepts.
Wind noise is a lot. Road noise is a lot. When wind and snow work together, you can find your back...
