I just wrapped up this swap. After swapping the bumpers a few weeks ago, I quickly realized the tow hooks the factory plastic bumper/plastic skid use need to be removed to use the capable bumper and OEM steel skid plates or similarly compatible skids (the plastic skid plate won't fit without...
OP sorry to hear you're going through a headache with this. FYI I just ordered OEM metal skid plates from a local dealer yesterday and was able to apply my points for credit, so it looks like this isn't consistent across the board.
A buddy put me onto these as a cheap alternative until I eventually hardwire a Midland. They can be had for cheaper on Amazon and they work great. However, as another poster mentioned, they require programming on the Chirp app. Mine came with the USB to do this, so no need for an extra cable for...
Non-lifted sasquatch on stock tires here, plan on staying that way for the foreseeable future. I'm not too experienced with off-road upgrades but skeptical about this one. A few questions worth asking if you or others here will humor me:
Probability of failure: I know we've heard of some stock...
I got involved with the Miami-Dade Broncos club this past week. They've been planning frequent meetups and are a really fun and knowledgable bunch. If you'd like to get involved or learn more about upcoming events, DM me for details.
At Lazy Springs this past Saturday:
FYI, Ben, the owner of Tint Haus, is active in our Miami Dade Broncos club and I've seen his work in person (He has a great custom wrap on his 2-Dr Basesquatch). Can vouch for the quality and several club members have used him for PPF with great results.
@EIGHTLUG this is really tremendous work. Still interested for my Base, but with some different material choices. Let us know what's available, e.g., leather instead of Alcantara, and if it's possible to go leather all around or of there are some alternatives to the carbon. With the right...
Man, that Autumn color looks tremendous. Thanks for sharing. Eventually I'm doing the heated/cooled Katzkins on my base. When you're sitting inside and can see all the black and gray of the interior does the light brown look out of place?
I got mine from Midway. They gave me an estimate and it arrived earlier than anticipated, but in my case Ford's build tracker was accurate. FYI I dealt with Javier Gandia at Midway and he was great. Easy to work with and honored MSRP.
Agreed. Not sure how we have so many designs (not unique to ARB) with jagged lines and sharp "futuristic" angles to pair with a boxy, retro-inspired car. To each their own, but at least 3/4 bumpers I've seen stick out like sore thumbs in a bad way. Give me clean and something that doesn't break...
Midway Ford in Miami honored MSRP on my Basesquatch, with zero nonsense like VIN etching, NO2 in the tires, etc. stuffed in there. Javier Gandia was a pleasure to deal with and stuck to his word.
With some of the horror stories I had read from other reservation holders on here, I was waiting...
Thanks! If you have a bolt that's flush or closer to it you can use for the connection between the bottom plate and the tie down bracket there's a better chance this won't interfere with liners.
The better solution might be to remove the bottom row of squares from the grid (no one will likely...
I'm curious about all of these. I use a Husky trunk liner. I'm wondering about compatibility for the lower with the mounts onto the tie downs and having a liner on top. The bottom looks flush from the pics, and I'm wondering if those bolts on the side would be an issue.
Do you have any pictures...
