  1. Show us your installed wheel / tire upgrades here! (Pics)

    35x12.50R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Legen MTZ on stock Black Diamond Alloy wheels. 1.25” Spidertrax brings my offset to about equal to the Sasquatch wheels, but my narrower wheel adds in a variable. Lloyd is SAS take offs from a Badlands, plus a spacer up front and back that resulted in a total...
  2. Current base 6 speaker audio build + sway my subwoofer choice

    Quick update. I installed my Clarion XC2510 in the dash above the glovebox. I still need to clean up the installation a little, as it’s just shoved up there. But it’s a tight fit, it’s not going to rattle or fall out. I got a dud amp and had to exchange it through Crutchfield, but they had the...
  3. Current base 6 speaker audio build + sway my subwoofer choice

    I can’t seem to find any official enclosure size requirements or even Ts parameters for the driver. The literature I can find doesn’t mention either. I found a forum post online from 2009 claiming that Sony recommended a 1 cubic foot enclosure for sealed applications. My driver does have a...
  4. Current base 6 speaker audio build + sway my subwoofer choice

    Hey guys, I wanted to share how I’ve currently got my audio set up and how I feel it performs. Then, I’m hoping you guys can sway my decisions as to what path I take with my subwoofer. Details of my system and the specs of each are below, but I have a 6 speaker, no subwoofer Bronco. I didn’t...
  5. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I guess I never noticed that the shape isn’t common for ditch lights! The output is very good for the money. I first had these set up pointing straight forward. The glare off the hood was too distracting and resulted in reduced visibility. That was when I made these brackets to try to raise...
  6. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    This was a little while back, but I’ve been meaning to post this. After Christmas, I installed a set of the Mabbett pods. Those pods come with some extra hardware that is meant for use on 2 door Broncos. I realized that the upper bracket was almost exactly the shape I needed for a ditch light...
  7. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    I definitely noticed quite a difference in the rear speaker output when I turned the EQ off. I used the fader to check the rears before and after. The low end was improved significantly. I still feel like the sound output is somehow diminished compared to the front speakers. Could just be due to...
  8. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Did these stereo and forscan updates over the last week. My Bronco has the base 6 speaker stereo, with no subwoofer. I already installed Mabbet 6.5in pods in the rear a few months back. Those are loaded with Infinity Reference coaxial drivers. I sealed all openings from the inside with duct...
  9. Spacer Lift for Dummies 2023rev

    @Snacktime well I decided to just remove the two upper spacers for now so I can feel comfortable using 4Hi if needed. I can feel a definite difference in the front end. I no longer feel grinding I the front end while in 4Hi. I took some better measurements of the front spacers when I took them...
  10. Spacer Lift for Dummies 2023rev

    Do you think if I added a diff drop and removed one spacer that would make it safe for wheeling? I honestly will only get to wheel once a month at best until my son is old enough to come wheeling with me and we can make family trips of it. And Ohio wheeling is mostly tight muddy trails and hills...
  11. Spacer Lift for Dummies 2023rev

    I have a non-Sasquatch Black Diamond that I just threw some Sasquatch takeoff’s on, along with an MZS Tuning 1” front spacer lift. In the rear I threw what was about a 5/8” spacer that came with the takeoffs, hoping to not completely eliminate the rake. I also threw a set of Spidertrax 1.25”...
  12. Bigger tires on same factory wheels (Outer Banks non Sasquatch)?

    I think you are correct on the diameter, but nearly every 35x12.5R17 out there is listed on Discount Tire’s website as accepting down to a 7.5” wheel. I’ve been compiling a list of both 35” and 37” tires in preparation for upgrading my Black Diamond once I get my Sasquatch takeoffs and steering...
  13. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Installed a Curt hitch, the IAG rear light, and also the center console organizer. The light makes it so I do t need a flashlight in the back seats anymore!
  14. Mounting an ARB portable air compressor under the hood -Wiring

    It really is that easy! I just did it on Friday. I literally just connected a spade connector to my aux 6 wire in the engine bay and connected that to the purple wire in the first main harness from the compressor. No need for the complicated second harness at all.
  15. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    Finished my DIY mount for my ARB twin compressor, installed it, and took the Bronco off-roading for the first time! I was on my own, so I didn’t do anything too crazy (not to mention trying to grow a pair again after not off reading for four years), but I was impressed with how capable this...
  16. What's your unpopular Bronco opinion?

    Hardtops look stupid in any state other than fully on or fully off. I’ll admit that hardtops do look better than a soft top when the roof is on, but nowhere near better enough to overcome the ease of putting the soft top partially down or fully down.
  17. Shaking/wobbling in front end of Black Diamond with 5,000mi

    Just wanted to give an update for everyone. The shaking slowly increased in intensity after the balance, possibly reaching the original intensity. I was pretty discouraged by this, really hoping there wasn’t something going on in addition to cupping and balance that I couldn’t differentiate...
  18. Shaking/wobbling in front end of Black Diamond with 5,000mi

    Well I’m hoping that we found the problem. I scheduled the free inspection at Discount Tire on my lunch break and was yet again amazed at their customer service. They found that there was some level of cupping already on all of the tires, with the driver side front being the worst. The tech then...
  19. Shaking/wobbling in front end of Black Diamond with 5,000mi

    I’m going to have to take another look to see if I can see cupping, but I’ll probably just take you guys up on the free inspection. You have a location just up the road from my work. I know I struggled to see the issues with previous tires that your techs were able to find. I’ll be so happy if...
  20. Shaking/wobbling in front end of Black Diamond with 5,000mi

    Hey guys, I have a 2022 Non-Sasquatch Black Diamond with the optional wheels that I purchased in early February. It had only 3012 miles on it, had the mid package with heated seats for my wife, and came with the Ford Gold Certification and warranty, so basically as close to brand new with a...
