Just noticed this happening on my Braptor! I tried popping it back in but the front clip would not stay put. Jumped online and saw the recall talk so I’ll be taking it in next week as I can see the concern of it coming off at speed.

the braptor hate is funny.

unless you send your truck off to APG or long travel it with glass, nothing is touching the braptor on dirt.

Wow look at that. Good thing you caught it and good thing there is a recall.

You get used to the flares and actually come to appreciate them. With the top off, I think it actually looks pretty bad "ass" from the rear (I see what you did there). But the way it drives and its overall capabilities, it's a small price to pay if they don't agree with you visually..
You we talking fat chicks here or Broncos.

Maybe true, but running through deserts at high speed isn't something I want to do so it's kind of irrelevant. Furthermore, something being good at a task doesn't mean it can't be ugly. Braptor is ugly. I never said it's not capable.

Women all look different, Rigs look different... we can't all like the same shapes & styles in both!
BRaptor catches the eye of many... I'd gander to say probably a lot more than the Bronco.

I remember in '75-76, had a CJ5 slightly modified... and buddy had a Bronco he lifted, cut the fenders & installed flares, wide tires, etc... compared to a normal Bronco, that was good looking standing still, let alone off-roading... and it caught the attention of almost everybody... except the few that had a normal Bronco in the group.

"Man, she got some junk in her trunk."

"She must be an off roader."

I'm sure it does. That doesn't make it look good. Again, I never said the performance was lacking. I said the aesthetics were lacking.
