Where did the fog light kit come from?

I could be completely wrong but my personal opinion is that it all depends on how hard you drive/push the Bronco or any vehicle for that matter. We are willing to replace the front axles as needed, my original thought was that after all of the reserved Broncos hit the street we will see OEM Badlands axles other parts show up for sale as they are upgraded.Are you concerned at all about putting such a large tire on a front axle that I think is only rated for a 33" tire from what I have read?? I am getting a BD this month and would love to go 34-35" but I am concerned about the axle being able to handle it.
Everything lighting wise is stock OBX. Here is a picture with the mirror spot lights on, we haven't tested them yet but if they are like our Tremor they will work at low speeds, I believe it is under 10 mph and that can be changed with ForScan in the future.Where did the fog light kit come from?
Thanks for the response and the fantastic videos you have posted, mine will be predominantly on road as well. Tough decision, I think I may go 33 just to get the extra touch of aggressiveness while still preserving good ride quality and decent mileage. However I Love the stance with your new upgrades. Good Luck with it.I could be completely wrong but my personal opinion is that it all depends on how hard you drive/push the Bronco or any vehicle for that matter.

Most of our off roading will be on forest roads and we will have our F250 Tremor along to rescue the Bronco as needed. Any time I have broken something in the past it has been when desperately attempting to get out of a sticky situation. In those cases, knowing our Bronco is not the most capable we will throw a tow strap on and use the Tremor to assist the Bronco rather than push the limits.
Our Bronco will see 92% of it's life on the street.
We were unsuccessful since the spacers add 2 inches to the top of the strut.
Yes, I removed one while the strut was still installed, it came out like butter. The second was stuck so I was able to remove the strut and tried several ways to remove the bolt, including using a vise to "press" it out.I see, so the problem is that it’s longer when reinstalling it? I watched another install where they air hammered the lower bolts off while still on the vehicle. But maybe easier on a bench if having problems. Did you try both?
I would also argue that the M190 is also an open differential which also will inherently limit the amount of load that will be placed on that axle under any conditions. Unlike the SAS which has a front locker (which can dramatically increase the forces on the differential/axles).I could be completely wrong but my personal opinion is that it all depends on how hard you drive/push the Bronco or any vehicle for that matter.
I haven't seen the MIC top in person but based on the pictures I have seen online they look to be rather close to the MIC hardtop color.Looks good. I am curious about those RTR wheels, specifically color. Do you find the gray to be closer to color/shade of cactus or closer to the darker gray pieces? Now that I think about it, not sure your rig has much of the carbonized gray that badlands/sas has.
Thanks. I may go black if I get them. Between cactus, the carbonized gray grill/fenders, the mic top, and the wheels.. that may be overkill. Would have to call my truck 50 Shades of Gray at that point.I haven't seen the MIC top in person but based on the pictures I have seen online they look to be rather close to the MIC hardtop color.
absolutely love.. we have Orange OBX that we picked up last week and already have the 4wp level kit and the RTR wheels. Plan to get same tires so it is awesome to see how well it will look after seeing your pics. Couple questions if you dont mind: how did you handle the TMPS ? i found a link and ordered recommended replacements but was curious how you handled. Did you do anything to adjust Speedometer to account for larger tires? Thanks in advance for taking time to reply.After a few struggles I am excited to share the final outcome of our leveling kit and wheel/tire install!
Our specs:
Non-Sas OBX
4WP Leveling Kit with Big Tire crash bars
17x9 +30 RTR Tech 6 wheels
315/70r17 BF Goodrich KO2
1.25 inches of tire "poke" beyond the Non-Sas OBX fenders. No rubbing even at the limits of the OBX articulation.
Also the stock 3rd brake light clears the tire, just barely but it clears! I was worried I would need a taller 3rd brake light mount.
I had the TPMS swapped from the stock wheels. I have ordered OEM replacements for other ford trucks that I have installed aftermarket wheels on and I always seemed to have difficulties getting them to properly sync.absolutely love.. we have Orange OBX that we picked up last week and already have the 4wp level kit and the RTR wheels.
