Now you got me on the hunt. I have been wanting a painted black top and these guys are about 40 mins from me. They have two black and one white. I am going to go take a look. If it's in good shape I'll probably pick one up at that price.
I don't personally like it, but as others have said, do what you like.
P.S. have you considered a bright silver, almost like a polished finish? I don't think I've seen that on the factory SAS wheels.
I have been planning to take the clamshell off and do the weatherstripping seen here:

I believe your wind noise (as indicated in the post above) is from that area. But in addition...
Not on a non-SAS. I'm about 2" over stock (non-SAS) and while there's room to move down, I don't think there's more than a full inch. I'd say around 1" over factory is the lowest on the Pro Truck's for non-SAS.
Also, according to people who know a lot more than me (e.g. Ducati) the oil temp gauge is an "inferred" reading, meaning there is not actually an oil temp sensor. Not sure how the Bronco infers the temperature, but given that I'm also not sure how accurate it is.
Got back down under there tonight. There was not enough fluid that I could smell what it was but the fact that I couldn't smell it makes me wonder if it's not gear oil. I also noticed there was a tiny bit at the clamp where the tie rod boot meets the steering rack, but also there was some just...
I recently installed an AFE rear diff cover that has a drain plug and holds a little more fluid than the stock cover (holds about 2.5 quarts). It's a very nice product. Comes with the clips to hold the brake line in place. No gasket. I bought a new stock gasket but the original one was in such...
I took a look at mine last night and they appear to be in pretty good shape. Seems like mine already had retention clips to keep the harness from moving around. Found a few exposed areas that I covered with the cloth tape and I also put some soft edging on the pinch pieces that were...
So I think you got some bad info from the tech you spoke to at M/T, which tracks with what he told you about the weight he was using to calculate. I just called M/T and talked to a guy named Mark. He did not ask for GVWR, he asked me for the original size tire, my new tire size, did some...
Well now I'm confused. My understanding is that the GVWR is the maximum weight limit for safe operation of the vehicle. That's with people, cargo, fuel, everything. I believe the GVWR does not take into account towing, but putting towing aside why are they doubling the GVWR? Or is all that extra...
This is helpful, thanks.
According to this calculator I should be 42psi cold which I can live with. I started at 40 and everything seemed fine and honestly the difference between 40 and 33 is not huge in terms of ride. I'm going to call M/T today too to see what they say.
Good point. I did try to smell it but there was not much there. I will check back tomorrow and see if I can get a read on the smell. I also need to hit it with some brake clean to see if it reappears.
