Yes, I find these Ford door graphics laughable and sub-par. Our RV with the F-600 is the same way. Every other modern vehicle I've ever owned the little graphic would show which door was open.
Our set-up has been working fantastic, no complaints for the 6-7k we've towed it so far. Just be sure to get the off-road adapter to fit your mounts, PAR-035 is the one for a 3/4" shackle. Remember you'll still need somewhere on the Bronco to hook up your safety chains too.
No Problems, I run a Thule cargo box on top for skiing in the winter, and never give it a second thought. Now my '72 first gen, sketchy at times, and my wife's jk 4-door with a 2"/1" level always felt like I've had a few on a calm day. Get the two door, you won't regret it.
So, what options are out there for a mild lift (say 2") for the non-squatched badlands? My Bronco is my daily driver, and I'm still putting a toddler in the car seat, so going big isn't on the table yet. Everything I see is for the other trims, 4 door only, or squatch only. I'll be putting 35's...
Nice FJ! Mine has a 351 as well, although a little more rustic. We call her Patina Turner, and she ain't perfect, but that's what I want for a rig that I can knock around in the woods. To be honest though, the FJ hasn't been out much since we got the Bronco 2 years ago. The stock badlands...
I did the 3m pro series clear gloss, only Matte I did was the grille. Warranty is the same 10 years and cost was a little less than xpel. When I did mine the shop was really pushing me to the 3m side, I think they preferred working with it. I was right around $3k for all the tin on my 2dr except...
I don't have a close up picture of the setup. but these are the adapters I got for the roadmaster nighthawk towbar to attach directly to the modular bumper.
Give me a squareback option, that flips back sunrider style and or run safari style. Use channels that bolt down with the existing hardtop hardware locations only, (probably still have to swap out B Piller mount though), no Velcro or other crap stuck to the body. A top that can easily un-install...
I flat tow straight off the Modular bumper mounts. Just had to get the off road adapters (035-1) for the towbar, I have the roadmaster nighthawk. And the Demco stay-n-play braking system. Everything works great, and there's nothing that needs to pair to the tow vehicle, it pulls like any other...
The Ford table comes with the drill bit and stop collar for the bit to prevent you from drilling too far. It's really pretty easy and idiot proof. The tailgate is aluminum so the drilling is really easy. My only gripe was one of the cheap rivnuts cross-threaded on me and spun. Otherwise it works...
Well we should've bought stock a few months ago. It's sad when my badlands is my "economy" rig that can drink the cheap stuff. Between my diesel truck, RV, and boat, I've stopped looking at the totals, and just count how many swipes of the card it takes to fill up.
Love my Bronco, but I could nit pick some things like the cluster layout. But as a Manual, my one complaint is the E-brake/Parking brake location is stupid.
True, this is the original can. You need the synthetic stuff in the biodegradable container with the safety pour spout for the LEDs. Look for the one with a snowflake on the label.
