I greatly appreciate the FP hood struts every time I open the hood on our '22 and maybe more so every time I open the hood on our '24 because it doesn't have them! I swear it closes better with the struts, too. Don't know why that would or could be.

To be fair, we do have a "rear door", aka the 3rd door or tailgate. It just looks different than the OPs rear door pics. I completely understand the confusion. :)

Still no word, eh? I believe it's been said that high temperatures and low fuel tank levels aggrevate the LPFP issue. I wonder if they can use computer magic to change the LPFP behavior under those conditions. I didn't think I had either condition when my LPFP failed, unless 1/2 tank (at least)...

A Valkyrie for Valhalla. I think I had those same pipes on my '99. It sounded like a racing Porsche.

Success stories seem few and far between. That's why I thought it was worth posting. I wish I knew what exactly I did for success.

Did you read the full verbose, rambling version or the first few lines that got prematurely posted when the page informed me "Oops, we've run into some problems"?

When I bought my used '22 HOSS 2.0 Wildtrak, I knew I was going to buy and install the Severe Duty Steering Rack and new suspension to being it nearer '23/'24 WT spec and to compensate for the weight I planned to add in armor. Well, I purchased the rack at Christmas of '24 along with the Procal...

Probably 25 years ago on a domestic Delta flight, I was buying one of their $10 sandwiches that was worth $2. The flight attendant looked at me as I handed her a Hamilton and said, "Sorry, we don't take cash." I did not understand the words. It was the first time I had ever heard that phrase...

Watch @popo_patty's video below. I believe I actually needed to move the rack a little driver side, then rotated it upside down as I was simultaneously twisting and moving passenger side, then angled it back and down to pivot around the axle. Clear as mud, right! :) There was one point where it...

I personally believe the Filson hits the mark better than the rendering. Keep the Bronco's off road chops but give it a quieter, more plush interior would be the angle IMHO. Ditch the removable top and doors, add lots more sound deadening, and upgrade the interior plastics with better materials...

I've only driven maybe 0.2 miles a VERY low speed to settle the suspension a little since my alignment is super fantastic way out of whack, but judging from that little spin, I think I'm gonna like 'em.

It wasn't today, but the last several days. Installed Fox Performance 2.5 shocks with Eibach +500 lbs, 1.8" lift rear springs and +250 pound, 2.3" lift front springs, Accutune UCAs, and a Severe Duty Steering rack. It has been a tumultuous trip! Almost there, but the front coilovers need to come...

My original Jack got mangled helping a broken Gladiator on a trail. Bought a second used off eBay. The jacks work on a Sasquatch. The best fix for jacking issues might be replacing the Goodyears. :)

I think I prefer the non-painted flare option as well. My MIC flares are pretty scratched up from brush. I'd imagine the painted ones would look a far sight worse. Did they incorporate a little mud flap into the front flares?....is that something I missed in model year updates?

Oh, and thanks for putting that video together. It was a huge help!
