Most recos are ropes. Your initial question was about straps. This one from ARB is what I purchased. Resist the urge to over spec, believe a Bronco should use 17,500 pound one. If oversized it wonāt get the stretch.
Ropes will last much longer and are more robust. The strap is a lot...
I plan to buy 35 X 11.5 Wildpeak AT4s with modified crash bars. Several posters have indicated zero rub with this setup on stock non-SAS wheels and zero lift.
I might do a 1ā level for looks.
Exoshield Ultra installed after two minor chips in my first year. So far no major hits, though I wonder if they seemed minor in part from the shield. Fairly easy install, few bubbles I couldnāt get out. Will hopefully do better with the next film after this one gets scratched up.
No and especially not on the two door. I have the six, but itās not a big deal. I drove both and both were fine. 4 door, resale, old man āno replacement for displacementā swung me to the six.
35ā 315s with SAS wheels to be precise. If you are buying thinner tires (35ā 15.5s) then modified crash bars might be the safest bet. It is entirely possible tire width extending beyond the frame enough is more important that diameter. Might even be likely.
I went non-SAS on my ā22 when SAS wasnāt much more. Didnāt like the SAS wheels or tires. I now want the 35ā look after my KO2s are pretty well worn. That means:
1. Ready Lift modified crash bars
2. Zone 1ā level
3. Rough Country brake light extender
4. 35ā X 11.5ā Wildpeak AT4Ws
No need to...
Iāve done it twice, the clips on my Bronco flip over but are otherwise fine. Itās not something I want to tempt though. Trim damage is pretty minimal, plan to sand and paint.
Design idea for Ford: Rotating clips that donāt stick straight up would clear my (and many other) garage. 3ā extra...
Odd things happen constantly. Freezing up, CarPlay not connecting, blank screen, losing my home address is nearly constant and massively annoying since I pay for Nav. In general, the software blows. A non-stop source of frustration.
oh well
I bought the one that mounts to the Ford badge, but would buy this one if starting over. Get the MagSafe charging option for sure. Clean, convenient, easy to use, no goofy cylinder jutting out from the dash.
1. Value. I got so much more for my money based on a 2020 reservation. At 10,000 miles I could still sell the Bronco for more than I paid. Even way back in 2020 when this wasnāt obvious, B&P for a comparable Jeep was about $5-7k more.
2. Ride Quality. I simply couldnāt stomach the ride...
Aftermarket soft top that goes all the way back (like others have mentioned). Mine will wear out in a few years so the clock is ticking. Think Iād go OEM over Bestop if forced to choose right now. Not a fan of the half-back look.
Also not sure it would fit under my garage door or work parking...
