  1. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    I admit I have no idea how to do this… yet.
  2. Largest Functional tires on stock non-SAS outer banks bronco (275/70 18 ???)

    Largest functional tires... You can go pretty big and meet all your objectives. Just a matter of how much work/money you are willing to put into it. If your question is "How big... with no additional work" - that's a totally different answer than just "How big" Biggest issue with the OBX is...
  3. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    So here's what the shop said: Camber had drifted down to -0.8°, but just about everything had drifted by the same amount. Supervisor says he sees that when suspensions settle or start to get old. My Pro Comps have been on there for around 60,000 miles, and I haven't made any adjustments to...
  4. New soft top rear support. Homemade

    Mountains2Metal sells a set for about $80 But your DIY one is awesome
  5. No power to my upfitter switches

    Key on? Sounds stupid but I have missed obvious things like this myself
  6. SSV vs Metra rear 6.5 Speaker Pods

    Coming late to this thread but Mabett pods have an external cover - that isn’t a susprise, it’s been noted that it does limit speaker height What I didn’t also realize when I got them, is that cover has some foam on it to prevent rattling. The foam is positioned such that it can interfere with...
  7. Which Portals Are Right For You? (Satire)

    This little bottle jack is a beast. Lifted a container like nothing that we couldn't get up with 2 4-ton high lifts.
  8. maintenance tips for any new Bronco owner

    Never had an issue with needing to bleed the brake fluid. Rest of the list isn't bad. For tailgate bolts - that really applies to ... everything. Paint torque marks are a lifesaver here, particularly for suspension. Mostly - just change the engine oil early and often, and use a full synthetic...
  9. Using OEM Kick Panel Speakers in Metra Pods

    I tried midbass woofers in the kicks. After I got the DSP and started tuning - the woofers i had were exactly what was holding my sound back. Unless you do ~a lot~ of work sealing off the kickpanel -- and throw a lot of power at it -- you are better off going to a balanced speaker in the kick...
  10. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    You are on the right path. Where I said caster was out, i meant camber.
  11. Tires, Camber, UCAs, and wear

    So I'm asking for advice before I take my Bronco in. I've got 38x11.5R17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. I have about ... 25k miles on them. I rotate them frequently - every 3-5k miles. I just noticed that my tires are wearing unevenly. The inner edge, on all 5 tires, is about 7/32". The outer edge is...
  12. Using OEM Kick Panel Speakers in Metra Pods

    If you are going to the trouble of buying 6.5" rear pods - go ahead and dump another $70 on a set of Hertz or Infinity coax speakers to go in there. They are vastly better than the OEM speakers, will work fine with the factory amp, and don't cost a ton of money. Something like this...
  13. Extreme Terrain

    Anyone have any experience with these guys? I tried ordering a tailgate strut from them, they shipped the strut for the Bronco Sport instead, and now I'm getting a lot of grief trying to get either the right strut or a refund.
  14. Fluid leak near the rear main seal - Fixed

    The technical term for this repair, I believe, is called “firing the parts cannon”
  15. Dead Pedal Replacement?

    I havent seen anything other than things that glue on top. Since its molded as oart of the speaker grill / lower trim, makes it somewhat difficult for aftermarkets to target it
