always room for more options…glad to have ya in!

yep, that is what ford refused to build me…

Yeah I remember that…Broncos probably shouldn’t be on that one…haven’t heard from ya for awhile, glad you are still around!

Yeah I just bent a piece of strap and mounted it under the ditch light…

I had a wheel sensor “event” and lost lockers (cleared when got back on pavement) on Barrett Lake trail…hated being on a line/strap so much…added wheel sensor armor…hasn’t happened again??

Ford wouldn’t even build me one in ’22 or ‘23…they suck!

NO! JUST NO!

I also have a midland 275 mounted in the console with external speaker centered above windshield…get a good antenna and it is all ya should need…also have some Radioddity gm30 handhelds for out of vehicle and loaners

If I still needed a truck the silly little beds on these things are pretty laughable so it would have to be at least a 2dr f150…real trucks or Broncos don’t have 4 doors…that 2dr 2.7 is definitely the keeper…at least mine is…

as a little kid we lived up a dirt road that turned to mud cars would get stuck in, my uncle loaned us his WWII Jeep to use…parked on the pavement and jeeped back and forth…that “adventure“ grew into serious rock crawling and trail running

Yeah! Getting old sucks…while I started with an early bronco I became a pretty serious rock crawling Jeep guy and even daily drove a few cj2a s but got sick and long story short got a 2dr 2.7 bronco that has gotten me back on a few trails and like the thing more than I thought I would…welcome to...

I don’t really “need” a lift for 37s on my 2.3 non Sasquatch outer banks do I? Planning for rubicon soon, any tips?

Again, changing the rack or the axles does not change the angles and limiting total travel/articulation is not a good solution in off roading imho

in my mind the bigger the tire the less uptravel/compression ya have before they hit the body/fenders (travel is restricted) so any “extra” down travel/droop ya can get is a good thing for total travel/articulation…all limited by cv angles…a diffdrop gives ya that extra down travel/cv angle…not...

Yes ya can bolt them on and remove the crash bars to avoid them rubbing while turning but the tires will hit the fenders at full compression…I recommend at least a 3/4” body lift…they are also heavier (more unsprung weigh) so they “stress” your stock coilovers more which will adversely effect...
