I went with the 20s, wifey approved once installed and used as a step. Kids like them for the same reason as well. As a step, the only difference will be the small height difference from stepping up to a 20 or a 5 degree slider. Same with getting out of the rig, the stepping down from the...
23 WT here, no issues with the antirock for the front. On one of the trails I am extremely familiar with were 2 spots that I needed a bit more flex to not use lockers while crawling. The antirocks took care of it. Wish I had the means to measure the difference to do the before and after.
If...
Great video and technique. We all have signatures as far as line choice and technique, you're probably one of the closer ones that match the way I wheel.
Thanks for taking the time on this vid..... If you ever happen to be out in Vegas, let me know. I know its a ways away but you never know.
You will get a variety of answers none of which are wrong. It all depends on what is it that you're planning on doing with the rig. If you air down to 18-20 lbs and don't do any aggressive crawling/turning while on rocks, most wheels will work. I have run down to 12lbs with no issues but not...
Just more of a long term thing. You obviously like toys n thrills, they may be different thrills for now but some things I see are that people think when new that they will just do "light trails". I'm guilty of this myself. My first Jeep purchase, wifey asked what I would do to it, meaning...
Both rattled really bad, do you have the LP6 and XL80? these aren't the lightest of lights so that may be part of the issue. If you have squadrons or other smaller lights from different brands, may not be an issue.
I know.... it's amazon. Gave a couple things a try and resorted back to better quality.
Ditch light brackets, these rattled bad but in it's defense, I have XL80s which are heavy.
A-Pillar Light Bar Brackets for Bronco, Front Bumper LED Ditch Light Bracket for 3" Light Pod Compatible with...
Just to add to the last post. Took the group back on out April 7th, left out some of the creek crossings from the video but included a softer run towards the 2nd half of the trail and then the final water crossing for all rigs that attended.
Glad I took the Bronco out on this one.
This is exactly what I talk about when deciding on who to give my business to. I have had plenty of orders go as planned, some that don't. The companies who stay communicative and work on a resolution get my repeat business.
EX: Northridge 4x4 had shipped out a part to me which didn't work...
I have made 10's of thousands in purchases and at times, missed a sale by purchasing 1 day early. All of which are through companies on this and another forum. Yeah, im a bit sour at times for missing a discount but ordered when I did as I wasn't wanting to wait, didn't know a sale was coming...
I have the XL80s for true ditch lights, they are on the larger size from my other rig with squadron pros. The squadron pros definitely look better IMO but the light output does not compare.
Most night runs I will take the bronco with the XL80s rather than my jeep with the squadron pros...
I ended up purchasing the DJI osmo action 4 and use a skeleton body, haven't needed to run the defroster yet but summer is coming. I run this all day on the trail non stop with no issues.
I don't think it matters on the brand as long as its aluminum but this is what I purchased:

Guess Im one of the few that would say that the Bronco is competition for the 4Runner. 4Runners, Tacomas, Jeeps all have a cult following. I'd venture to say most Bronco owners do not, there are quite a few now, but nothing nearly as established as the other models.
This includes myself, was...
I used to carry rotopax but never needed them for myself or within my group as we top off at the closest spot from the trail. However, I can say that a couple of times, had to help another rig with fuel.
Sad to say, I wheeled lightly with a group of nice looking rigs before, every rig had...
Received mine over the weekend and worked on them Sat evening. Had 2 sets for LP6 covers (jeep and bronco), and one for the xl80's. Easy to apply or reapply as needed, very high quality decals but im no expert. Multiple choices on colors as well.
Unless you have another technique, I found...
Heres a tip I tend to mention to new people within my off road group.
Parking on a slope in either direction:
put in neutral
engage emergency brake
place in park
then shut off vehicle
On another note, here is the exploration run that happened Sunday. We had another up in Utah on Sat with the...
Not a step in the build as I would say..... But just cosmetics, added these from @StickerFab, available in many colors, don't forget to get your id.me verification/discount if your military or first responder. Sponsor on this forum as well.
I'm not an expert with decals but these are thick...
