I have a similar issue although mine has had nothing to do with wheeling. Mine happens when I fill my tank then park in my driveway, and hot days (just fill, not "top off"). I have a relatively steep driveway. My problem happens when nose uphill but doesn't seem to happen when I back up the...
Great news. Does is sound like they looking to adjust the charger requirements or develop a more powerful installed charge port to replace the stock one?
I run the Tackform Qi2 magsafe charger with fan plugged into my console USB-C port (23 Baldands Lux) without issue. I started running the charger without fan, then upgraded to the fan version. Sometimes there is a short delay for the motors to grab the phone but it works fine
Hope that works for you if you don't get enough direct air from the front, it won't matter if you remove flaps behind it. Very important to check your intake air temp to see if your mods were enough. if IAT is too high, you will lose power and depending on how high, damage the engine
I have the ADD Krawler bumper with Zeon 10s and skid plate on my 23' Badlands Squatch. The setup completely blocks lower air flow. I went with a Mishimoto high mount intercooler and charge pipes to solve the problem. The trans and oil coolers are fluid to fluid coolers so don't need air flow...
Do you plan on adding Bumpers, winch, armor, rock rails, roof rack etc? If so it will balance out. The Badlands 4dr 2.7 (what I have) could not get a roof rack optioned. Either way, it wouldnt be like putting 1 ton springs on an F150. So to me it depend on what a deal I was getting on it...
Update: The dealer parts manager took care of me. I received my replacement tube doors and installed them yesterday. 3 went on with only minor adjustment, one needed 4 extra shims on the bottom hinge. Each door comes with 3 sets of shims installed. This replacement set came with extra shims, my...
The spring rates will be different but not by much. I doubt there is an appreciable ride difference. If you plan on Bumpers, winch, skid plates, etc it would actually help manage the extra weight
I ordered my tube doors with my Badlands 4D. They look great but mounting them was a pain. The LF to used 2 shims and fits fine, The LR has 4 but needs 2 more. The RF has 4 shims but also needs 2 more. The RR has 5 on top and 7 on bottom and needs 2 more of each. My dealer is working with me...
Did You have any issues mounting them? I had to rearrange all the shims on mine and they still don't fir correctly. LF has 2 shims, LR has 4 but needs 2 more, RF has 4 but needs 2 more, RR has 5 on top/7 on bottom and needs 2 more for both
