I was looking very hard at the Mishimoto high clearance intercooler.
I already have an RC hidden winch with a 12K Badland's winch mounted fairly low and back some, per their design.
I'm not sure how to tell if this will fit with my 2.7L .
I enjoyed reading your thoughtful analysis. I only mean tto offer my perspective. That OEM Fox shock would have been great for me provided I never added any weight to the front end or had not gone to bigger tires.
The Hoss 3.0 isn't a true aftermarket Fox 2.5. I know it wasnt adjustable for height or ride, and the reservoirs on my King 2.5's is massively larger. Diameter of the main shaft may have been 2.5. If the word retarded was allowed I'd call the OEM Fox's a retarded variant of the Fox 2.5.
I'd...
The Kenda Klever MT2 is worth a look. I don't do a ton of mud, but everything I throw at these things so far, rock crawling, mud, deep snow, higher speeds, it has crushed. Just put the RT's on our Sprinter.
The longer wheel travel allows for greater control through the whoops, you wouldn't leave the ground as easily, so it dampens what would otherwise be too rough. The wider stance that usually comes with that also adds some stability. It is also a fairly involved investment and you would want to...
You get to go at your own pace. Mid Runner would be the bomb actually.
Lockers really aren't needed at all.
35's are a good idea, but I would NOT recommend the SAS stock rubber.
A stock SAS 2 door was bombing it with the fast kids, we nicknamed him Baja Jesus but I digress.
Its 'bucket...
I'll probably add the Foutz rear bumpstops. Moving the King reservoir wont be too hard. Yu can go vertical toward the front of the wheel well by just trimming the fender liner some. I think Shredder has rear King's and bump stops her setup might be worth a gander.
I like Icon's for a more mainstream brand and would look hard at them. At the time I wanted something more obscure and went with Reika Rambler wheels, 0 offset. Very happy with the wheels. Smaller company so you get to work with real decision makers, which is always nice.
Their gloss Graphite...
It's all good, and i would drink a beer with you on any given day. Its just my observation that mentioning wheel spacers in any positive light has always brought out someone claiming they are 100% dangerous in every situation ever, but ignore far riskier trade offs we all make. My 'end of the...
Shout out to Fast Intentions, they volunteered themselves as a pit crew, we could hardly walk past our vehicles or open a hood without one of them noticing or respectfully offering to help.
They also adjusted the pre load on a fair amount of our rigs on their one layover day in beautiful...
Pushing the wheels out will give you more scrub radius. You will feel 2" or more. It will be more planted and provide better steering input. The cost for this is quicker tire wear,and wheel bearing wear.
In my case I also have 1.3" wheel spacers and a 0 offset wheel. So according to some the...
I went last minute on an EXO in a basically stock Wildtrak that was maybe 2 months old. My cheeks hurt at the end of the week from smiling so much. The downside was some Baja virus entered my system and I had to almost overbuild my Bronco and run it again this year. Only to have another...
This exact kind of damage can happen when you start jumping/sending your Bronco. Its not clear from the picture but the damage I have seen on some has the fender gaping and pushing outward from the seem toward the top of the fender. I assume down and inward toward the bottom of the fender...
