That bumper is badass for sure. Wider than I wanted though so we just modded up a smaller one to accept the rear winch. Speaking of, we did use APG for the rear winch mount. Dimensions were tight on the sides and somewhat loose front to back, but the biggest thing is the powdercoat. Shit is garbage. You look at it crosseyed and it flakes off.
My APG rear winch mount powder coat has been fine so far. Fingers crossed.
My Expedition One bumper deliver has been delayed, yet again, to Monday. What an ordeal that has been.

Patent schmatent. Patents were made to be infringed. Ask any patent lawyer. It's just the cost of doing business. ADV would've been better off cutting ties with APG and building the tops on its own, but both of them are probably going to be broke at the end of this fiasco. I personally think they ought to be.

That’s good to hear. Just mounting the winch to it caused the powdercoat to fall off. Hopefully I’m the only one

Yeah I hammered on mine to get it to fit between the frame rails, drilled and tapped holes in it to mount the winch controller box, no flaking.

Unlike the ADV hard top, the bumper will be worth the wait 🤠

All kidding aside, I like that bumper too. I also think the rear winch mount APG made is a clever idea. But probably not the solution for me personally.

I also am not afraid to admit I watch litebrite's wheeling videos and have learned a handful of useful tips about the Bronco and some of the products they are promoting. They are having fun and making a living doing what they enjoy...most folks in this world aren't. I think most people understand they are pushing products to make a living.

APG is making what looks to be a very well thought out long travel kit. If I had a ridiculous amount of money I would love to have a setup like that, but I am not one of the 1%-er's.

I'm sure in time, other companies will make a well thought out long travel kid for us real world hoppyist and at a price point that is realistic.

I feel for the Bronco owners that got shafted in this deal. I hope justice is served to you and to ANYONE who made unethical decisions to line there pockets. The truth will come out. If it doesn't...we as a Bronco community will just have use common sense and fallow what little evidence there is...and not give them our business in the future.

I’ve learned some cool stuff from them as well. Yeah they’ll promote products like anyone that’s paid/given heavy discounts to do so and it’s up to the consumer to do further research from there. I’d never trust the opinion of someone on a product that is being paid to promote that specific product, just like I wouldn’t trust the opinion on what car to buy when talking to a brand loyalist. That’s the unfortunate part about how successful broncbuster’s influencer partnerships have been. So many trusting the word of someone that’s being paid or given free products to push that item.

APG's kit looks alright but seems like they never dialed it in in any of their videos. Lots of extra bouncing. I'm waiting for the tried and true race kits from Solo, Camburg, etc. They'll work great, be able to be dialed in by the real shock tuners, and not cost $150k.

How do I say this.
But no offense, my guess is the juicy rear is on the other side of that bar! And I'd even pay for the feet pics! šŸ¤£šŸ˜‰šŸ˜

(just in case that's your wife or something, the above statement was made in fun, so yeah didn't mean to offend).

Between the two of us she has the better one, but sharing that wouldn’t be as funny.

We’ve thought about shaving my legs and putting on booty shorts with strategic cropping for a thumbnail so that dudes click on it and…it’s a guy šŸ˜‚ but I always get ingrown hairs when I shave my quads and it’s such a pain in the ass to keep up on. I’m just not committed enough to the bit.

Just avoid taking it as far as our last "influencer" did by skipping the man boobs. The clicks can't be worth it šŸ˜

I do have them but they have a slightly different shape. Gravity must be heavier where he’s at
