  1. Using OEM Kick Panel Speakers in Metra Pods

    Like Hemisfear said, the kick panel speakers are 6.5" woofers, so they will only produce mid-bass, no highs and no lows below about 80hz. I replaced my rear pods with larger ones and did Kicker KS 6.5." If I were to do it over again, I would stick with the stock speaker pods and upgrade to a...
  2. 2 door big bend (non SAS) upgrades

    Regarding the lift, parts can be as cheap as under $200 if you do something like a 2" front and 1" rear spacer to lift and level the Bronco. If it is simply a top hat spacer, you can most likely find a shop to install them for only a few hundred dollars. Bilstein 5100s are available for $600...
  3. New York Hoss 2.0 Shocks, ReadyLift 1.25 leveling kit, MetalCloak Shock Skids, $100 (April 1st disposing of)

    I need some shocks while my Icons are being rebuilt and am in the Northern NJ area if these are still available.
  4. Wheel and tire upgrade

    While a 2" lift will allow you to fit 37s (with the right wheel offset), it will rub when off road as seen on this video: . If you are confident you will not off road your Bronco, this may work, but I would not recommend 37s on stock shocks with a spacer as the tires will be much heavier than...
  5. Regearing a non SAS Black Diamond (message from shop)

    In the video below, Dana does not recommend going above 4.70 gears in the stock housing due to clearance issues causing poor diff fluid circulation. I would look on this forum to see if anyone is running 37s on 4.46 geared non-Sas Black Diamonds or Badlands.
  6. Street and Off-road combo

    For on road, I would go with either 285/70R17 or 275/70R18 depending on what size wheel you want. Both will give the Bronco the off roader look without too much sidewall flex on the highway and tread noise. 285/70R17 has some nice riding and quiet options like the Falken Wildpeak AT, Cooper...
  7. Bouncing Bosch Wiper Blades

    I’ve had no issues with the Bosch Evolution wiper blades, which are less expensive than the Icons.
  8. Icon EXP 2.5 for Hoss 1.0 (Hitachi's)

    No problem. I don’t have any experience with the Bilstein 6112’s, so I can’t compare them, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either option. At the time, the documentation for 6112s stated that the minimum lift would be about 2.5”, which I don’t need.
  9. Icon EXP 2.5 for Hoss 1.0 (Hitachi's)

    You do feel imperfections in the road more than I was hoping, but they reduced the brake dive by a noticeable amount and keep the Bronco more flat through corners. They actually ride more comfortably off road at higher speeds than if I take those same impacts slowly. Being a 2.5” body, I am...
  10. Big Bend tires upgrade advice

    If they are the Icon 2.5 EXPs, that is what I have with 285/75R17 set at the lower height for the standard spring, roughly 1.5" of lift.
  11. Colorado Sold: 5 Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70R17 For Sale

    I am selling 5 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws in 285/70R17 load range C. The tires were purchased new in April 2023 and have only 12,500 miles on them, but I have upgraded to a larger size. The tires were rotated with the spare swapped in at 3k miles and the 10k service, so tire wear appears even across...
  12. Advice on Big Bend tire upgrade

    I have 285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W in load range C and am happy with them. They fill the wheel wells much better than the stock tires, look great, handle well, and are capable off road. You will need to order the Badlands rubber tailgate tire supports as the 285s are wider than factory. My...
  13. Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

    The base without Sasquatch comes with the black Hitachi shocks. Badlands comes with Bilstein, but the standard spring unless you add Sasquatch. For 35s, I like 1 1/2 inches of lift. An affordable option that will improve brake dive and off road performance is the Bilstein 5100 shocks. A set of...
  14. Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

    I went with the 4 wheel parts kit that Beach Bum linked.
  15. Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

    The 1” level raises the front only so that the front is level with the rear. If you are mechanically inclined and have a high enough powered impact driver to drop the front strut, it is possible to do it at home. This video shows it on a Badlands non-Sas (0.6” higher front and rear than base...
  16. Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

    No problem. I did a lot of research while waiting for my Bronco, so I’m happy to help. The Bronco comes with a 1” rake from the factory, so many Bronco owners put a 1” spacer on the front to raise the front to the same height as the rear. The 2” front/1” rear spacer kit brings the rear to...
  17. Less Squat on Non-Sas Badlands ?

    The cheapest option is to get a 1” front level like the Zone Off Road kit. These are typically under $100 and can be done in your garage with the proper tools or by a shop in 1-2 hours. The easiest option is to install bigger tires without a lift. The Badlands comes with 285/70r17 (33”) tires...
  18. Icon EXP 2.5 for Hoss 1.0 (Hitachi's)

    I just installed the Icon stage 1 EXP about a month ago. They are set at lowest height for HOSS 1.0, 1 and 3/8th" front and 1.5" rear. They handle my 285/70r17 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws in load range C much better than the base shocks and reduced brake dive slightly.
  19. ERUPTION GREEN Bronco Club

    It’s the IAG mini bull bar installed on the modular bumper.
