I’ve been lazy and haven’t mounted the spare so the pictures still show the stock KO2’s 😅 However when I was working in this upgrade I did some research to that point and here’s a snippet from this pdf...

Yes I removed both front and rear crash bars.

Great looking Bronco btw!

@Mattwings Im not running any spacers. I instead went with a 35x11.5 as the stock 285 is approx 11.5” wide, whereas a 315 is closer to 12.5” wide. @DaddyMuffin I bought my bronco used last February from Durango Motor Company and the previous owner had put a level kit on it already, though...

Great point, thanks for pointing that out! I haven’t gotten to it yet, planning to do that soon. I’m always thinking of my speedometer not being accurate anymore, but forget it also affects how the computer reports gas mileage.

I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews too on the Ridge Grapplers, especially where snow is concerned. Some people say they’re great in deep snow just not ice, others say they’re just awful in snow. Down in Colorado Springs when we do get snowstorms it’s usually much less then up in the mountains and...

I’ve been super impressed with the Gobi rack! It’s super solid, mounts to the frame so it’s not stressing roof or rear quarter panels and it’s just a beefy unit. I went with it because of its 800 lb static load rating and the fact I can still use my soft top with it on. The wind noise is bad at...

lol gotta have the wittle wadder 😂

I was only getting about 17.3 mpg average before, pushing 19 on road trips. Now around town I’m at 14-15 mpg. This last trip where I got 13 mpg we had 20mph+ headwind for a lot of the drive.

The noise isn’t terrible, or I’m just deaf now from road tripping the soft top over the last year, but I haven’t ever run the rack without it so I can’t say how much of a difference it makes.

I didn’t get perfect before and after pictures, but I did some digging and this is the best I have. Before: After:

I’ve seen people talk about this topic a few times but never found an off-road report, so here’s mine! I just upgraded to 35x11.5 r17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my non-was manual Badlands with a 1” level and stock rims. ON ROAD: These feel great on road; even though they’re a load range E tire...

Is there something I’m missing with the cipher?

Same 😭

Good to know! I thought gearing might be an issue if going up to 35’s

I’m new to real off-roading (coming from an old rwd ranger) so I’m looking for advice. I have a badlands 4dr non-squatch, it has the 2.3l with a manual transmission. I love off-roading it and want to build it into an overland/ adventure rig so a bit of rock crawling, a lot of trails in the...
