Tires make the biggest difference. Never driven on this in Nebraska, but I have in Australia. A couple of the rigs with us had AT tires, and they were really struggling, but the MT tires seemed to do fine.
Have you had any heat problems in that location? I was considering it, but was worried about how hot the ARB gets after an extended run to fill 4 37" tires.
In another vehicle, I reduced the appearance of this with a heat gun and iso alcohol
Can't say if it was the same plastics or cleaner as you used. I have never tried it on my Bronco.
I am planning the same upgrade for my Raptor. It looks pretty easy.
I watched this video, and the guys were pretty good at pointing out the mistakes they made.
<-- they talk about some items they would do differently.
I designed my system to work with the way I use the truck. It's loud with no distortion, so I can run with the top off and still enjoy.
I elected to do minimal sound deadening with this build. Just a few problem spots for rattles and the kicks to reinforce the midbass. Since we drive open air...
I don't think you did any lasting damage to the engine. Those warnings are designed to prevent you from causing any lasting damage, not to be issued after the damage has occurred.
I was running it with a 1000w stinger amp. The challenge with the Bronco stealthbox vs others they make is the driver. For some reason, they went with a 10w0 vs the much better W3 series. I have had JL subs in other cars, and the W3 and W6 are awesome.
I had one, it's a fast sub, but doesn't have a lot of output, nor does it go very low.
Your musical tastes and volume will make the biggest difference in whether you like it.
@mObridge - Awesome Job!
I recently updated the firmware and see the new features for our amps
Specifically, the "rear fill" and the ability for the Bass to control the subwoofer volume or act as a regular bass slider.
I retuned my system over the weekend and am using the new center channel...
Haters gonna hate :)
I have seen a few Broncos set up with underglow and 22" rims. With the right wrap or paint, it can definitely fit in as a show truck.
OP - I haven't used this kit (or any rock lights), but you will need a couple of extensions for the rear if you are going to follow the frame...
