Nice looking Bronco. I sold my 2023 7MT EG 2 door last week, now thinking about getting one just like this because it's just a fun vehicle to drive. Really enjoyed the 7MT but may try an auto this time.
I installed the $99 one on day 2 of ownership 2023. Took about an hour for me to install due to having to remove a couple of lower dash pieces (not a mechanic/tech) Has never failed. Would do it again for sure.
My install did not go too well. You are correct in stating that the process is difficult. I would not recommend the Redline Steering wheel cover. The leather was nice but the stitching joint @ 2, 4, 8 & 10 o'clock are very bulky too me. I have their leather shift boot and like it a lot though...
You did a good job on that, it looks nice. I have one coming from Redline this week for my base, hope it turns out as nice as yours. Think I will take your advice and remove the wheel or maybe just remove their air bag & trim bezel.
Welcome sir. We used to fish Bull Shoals and the White River a couple of times per year. Now mainly fly fish the Spring River several times a year. I really like Arkansas.
I have one of each. I like the TS better for some reason but it is cold. The Boomba is not metal so its pretty much temperature neutral. Both are an improvement over OE.
I think that you are on the right track with P285/70R17 (33"). Like you I don't really offload but wanted to fill out the fender wells some on my 2 door base. Started with P265/75R16 on stock steelies and it was ok. Ended up purchasing a set of +25 or +30 can't remember 17X8.5 wheels and...
It’s not hard to install the new lockout lever. Budget Bronco has a YouTube video about replacing the shift boot that shows the process for all of it. You have to remove the boot so it’s worth the watch.
I ran the Boomba for a year and just replaced it with the Twisted Shifter. I like them both but wanted to try something different. Pretty easy to change out for a different look / feel. I prefer both over the OEM shift knob. Also added the aluminum lock out lever recently which is nice.
They are very light. Not sure of the exact weight but they are basically very thin plywood wrapped with insulation and thin fabric. For comparison I would say that each panel would equal 2 pieces of standard corrugated box cardboard stapled together if that makes sense.
Yes to both though not drastic I’m happy with the purchase. As some have said before the wind noise may be slightly improved but it seems to quite the cabins “hollow sound” a bit.
I installed the Hot Heads product in my Bronco 2 or 3 months ago using the velcro to factory liner. Have had zero issues with it and recommend the product. The velcro that they provide with the product is very strong, you don't want to have to move it around if possible...
