(Unless I missed it) Any progress on a rear bumper?

I've seen that one but my factory strut was a bitch. This seems like the best option for me. The only downside is I assume the "hammerbuilt" strut could wear out sooner than factory with the M2M range limiter because it's bottoming out the strut to stop the Tailgate. But at $30 I'm not overly...

My original tailgate setup would have me fighting it to push it open and it would swing back hard if only opened ~60*. With the new strut it feels pretty normal to close and it opens with force.

FYI... I haven't opened up any other broncos but on my '21 4d the tailgate has always been a pain to open. I have 35s and a Hammerbuilt Tailgate Support so don't know if that has any affect on it. It just opened kind of glitchy, and opened too far, too, if I had a RotopaX gas tank installed so...

That winch looks like it'd be right at home on a deuce and a half fighting fires.

(This is on a 4DR) We did the methods described as well and our 'overall' noise seems to be better and we can hear better when talking to someone in the backseat but now we're seeming to get extra noise from the front lip of the two front panels. The noise at the front wasn't as bad for the...

Patents are frequently worked around in addition to the fact ford licenses products. It wouldnt be inconceivable to see a trail sight with light, regardless of the patent.

You're legally limited to 5watts on FRS. Most are gonna be tomatoe tomato. If you're gonna be line of sight in a convoy or pretty close it likely won't matter what you buy. Just don't expect to talk over or around a mountain regardless what you buy.

Youd want handhelds like this. Technically they are FRS 5watt radios but you can talk to the GMRS radios on the lower channels which is a big benefit. Midland 50 Channel Waterproof GMRS Two-Way Radio - Long Range Walkie Talkie with 142 Privacy Codes, SOS Siren, and NOAA Weather Alerts and...

Same. We didn't need to rewire or extend any wires.

I don't think the Ford Nav ('21 Badlands Lux) is all that good. However, in my experience using both: The Garmin Tread wasn't all that great either. The loaded offroad maps I saw were pretty weak, inaccurate, or non existent. With downloaded TrailsOffroad maps imported into the Tread the maps...

Ehhh, not quite. You can connect it anywhere you want, it'll just be 'best' to attach things on the other side of the battery monitoring system. Especially with items that draw amps while driving like an amp, air compressor, etc. At the end of the day the vehicle is still going to evaluate the...

Yes. Dollar for dollar, the ATN thermals are not as good. Comparing them side by side in a retail store, and while hunting. Also, the ATNs are far more difficult to find mounts for due to their design. The ATN included rings are typically pretty cheap to say the least.

ATN thermals are meh at best. Compare a $3k ATN thermal side by side with an Pulsar or AGM and you'll understand. Specs on paper don't mean shit. Don't buy ATN. They're a shitty company with a shitty product. Their thermals have been dropping in price because they dont sell worth a shit. The...

Spend as much money as you can if you intend to actually use it. You get what you pay for. Pulsar and AGM are a good starting point. Avoid ATN.
