    @EmCon There is snow ride in Grayling Feb 8th, not sure if you joined the Facebook page. Unfortunately, Gladwin is the closest actual trails and Holly Oaks is the closest off road park to SE MI, so you will need to travel a bit :)

    There is a big contingent from SE MI. Facebook is the most consistent place for info. The club has forums too. https://forums.michiganbroncos.club/
  3. 2024 Big Bend - Goodyear DuraTrac RT 285 75R 17

    They should fit with the crash bars. 35x11.50x17 Toyos on stock black diamond wheels clear.

    I did not. That was not the failure point, but it revealed the relatively light capacity of the frame ands paired with the high leverage the RC high winch mount. I love the approach angle and how tight the mount is to the bumper, so I made the effort to reinforce the whole setup. The new winch...

    Here is a post some might find interesting, installed a frame reinforcement kit. https://forums.michiganbroncos.club/t/tales-of-a-winch-mount-failure/585
  6. Metal Tech Frame Reinforcement Help

    I fianlly got them, wow, you guys are right, it's possible, budget some time or hire a pixie for those who havent't installed the kit :)
  7. Metal Tech Frame Reinforcement Help

    I am installing the kit now and it seems the fit issues with the brackets are not a problem for me. I am stumped on removing the intercooler bolts, I have them completely backed out, but they are hard against the radiator or whatever is direclty above the bolts. Is there something I am missing...
  8. Eibach Coilover 2.0 or Bilstein 6112

    I think a lot of us are in a similar situation deciding between these two options. I have been in and ridden with several Broncos with both setup ups. I would say the descriptions and reviews are spot on. The Eibachs do have a bit more travel and the Bilstein have a leg up on handling and higher...
  9. Under Hood Air Compressor Options

    I like that compressor and air fitting. I will probably do a similar mod on mine, once I test my 4 tire set up. I'm sure the less expensive compressors will not have the same service life as the ARB, but since I am not using air lockers, suspension or air tools (20V impact works great) I am...
  10. Are the stock Badlands tires actually not good for offroad?

    I have had both the KO2s and GY Territory MT. The GY are a better off road tire in many situations. As a prior poster mentioned, they are very light for a 315/70/17. I have seen a couple sidewalls cut where the KO2s seemed very tough in comparison. The other issue with the GY, they wear pretty...

    A few of us are heading to Holly Oaks this Saturday (Nov. 9th) to play with our Broncos. We will be there about 9:30 to help anyone who has not been before get set up and into the park. Opening at 10AM, come out and have some fun!
  12. 35s on Non-Sasquatch 2023 Badlands

    I have had the stock SQ tires and my stock 33”Badlands wheels for about a year. I used spacers to match the backspacing of the SQ wheel and removed the crash bars. No issues with lots of full articulation wheeling. I wil say the rack is really struggling even with the ultra light GoodYear...
  13. Under Hood Air Compressor Options

    I’m not buying or selling. I can tell you the guy that developed the mount has tested and measured several different compressors and configurations (he does not sell compressors, just the mount). The “resting” temperature of the compressor, when not running is nowhere near the operating...
  14. Under Hood Air Compressor Options

    If you look at the write up you will note I don’t plan to use this compressor for anything other than filling tires. The operating temperature of the compressor shows little or no variation on the mount or used as a portable compressor. You can also mount the Viaair compressor to the mount...
  15. Under Hood Air Compressor Options

    The guy who developed the mount has done a ton of testing. The control unit shows no change in temperature in his tests and the ambient temperature doesn’t seem to affect the compressor at all (other than being at the under hood temperature all the time). He did have his first compressor fail...
  16. Under Hood Air Compressor Options

    For those of you looking for an under hood option to mount an air compressor, I have detailed the setup I am currently putting together. I have a JD Marz under hood compressor mount, but I have been moving my Viaair between my Bronco and F150. I don’t really like the bungie mounting method, so...
  17. 35" KO2s vs 33" KO3s or...

    For reference, I went reference, I went from the kO2 285/7017 to the GY Territory 315/70/17 with the stock wheel and spacers. After adjusting the tie size with Forscan, it’s and .2 mpg lower. The GY is a very light tire. I am ready to replace the GY and I am looking at the Falken AT4 35x11.50...
