He’s legit. I’ve followed his build on 6g, another forum and YouTube over the last 12-18 months. Easy to verify

The Perl for textured plastic sounds intriguing. 303 works ok, but takes a ton of product after the mud and moist silt in CA/NV has a chance to sit for a day. It’s amazing how crappy the hood vent can look after that. For the flares, they’re a lost cause. I just trail polish them between...

Seven Mile Rim was a lot of fun. Not too difficult, but had some fun challenges and lines. Uranium Arch with no one there was very cool. And a poor man’s Top of the World photo opportunity cantilevered over the cliff along the way.

No knock on Subies either, my daughter has one too. But….I’ve recovered 5 or 6 of them now and so far no subie has pulled me out yet…. 🤪 its a real head shaker when you roll up on one stuck out in the forest all by itself in 18 inches of fresh snow, every car mat out and someone digging with a...

Glad to hear they’ve updated the bumpers and stand behind them. As far as the mounting slots , that was my guess as to what the underlying issue was. I’d prefer a hole over a slot for mounting in any event. It’s a fair point on using the tow hitch recovery point, but it seemed more reliable...

Here’s one of my street queen shortly after @popo_patty helped dig me out of an ill advised U-turn after losing the trail… and the next day heading up to higher elevation…

Personally I went with Hypercos 2” and the Foutz top hats (no lift). I did the no lift top hat for reliability and they’re easy to do with springs out. I’d check with Foutz, but I think if you’re looking for lift they’d recommend top hats with lift OR springs, not both.

Couldn’t decide whether to powder coat, line-X, wrap or paint my front bash plate and engine skid. Decided to go with a bougie artisanal manually applied distressed look.…. I think they came out great! 🤪 Seriously, I pulled them when I was attempting to seat my aftermarket tie rod boots on...

technically the fenders and flares should bolt on to your Bronco, but im not sure if there wouldn’t be a conflict with some other body part. It’s going to be crazy expensive to buy them and other relevant parts. Maybe Sasquatch flares would fit. There also are some aftermarket fenders that...

This same discussion came up a year or so ago. I’m not going to reconcile Autotraders listings, but maybe this chart from at @ChiliPepper will help you conclude that autotrader isn’t correct. He tracks this from Ford reporting meticulously each month…. No. Way. There. Are. 4000. Unsold 2024...

If mpg is a priority avoid 37 or 38” tires. Fenders and flares are stock on Raptor. not sure about body armor, but I have RCI Sliders, Foutz rear arm, shock mount and diff skids

There will probably less than 3000 Braptor built in 2024. Alittle over 3000 Braptors in 2023 and under 2700 in 2022. I don’t know how you’re getting 4000 2024 Braptor in inventory, but it’s wrong.

Hyperco 2”/1” springs, 38x13.5, Falken R/T01, +6 rims. Sits level, clearances are good on road and when flexed,, ride is still good, but not as plush as stock tires and springs. Gas mileage and acceleration are down a bit. im happy with the mods, but there’s no free lunch going with bigger...

In a pinch blue painters tape works quite effectively and removes easily. I’ve ppfed my paint but not the standard black flares. Most the the time it’s not an issue, but one trail in particular was terrible. I blue taped leading edges on flares and mirrors, should have done the roof edges...

38”x13.5“ D-rated Falken Wildpeak R/T01s on 17”x8.5” +6 Icon Rebound Pro (Inner Beadlocks). Hypercoil 2”/1” Coil lift with Foutz billet top hats. Sits level (at bottom of flares over the hubs) despite the appearance in the pic. road is sloped in the pic. This includes winch/winch plate up...

The Bronco is cabin noise on four wheels. Tires, lights, etc have just made it noisier. Wheeling has added a couple new ones. I’ve learned to embrace it, vs alternative of going crazy. That said, the window wobble on open still gives we grief. Yes, I’ve fully adjusted the windows to...

I wouldn’t want to sit in the back seat while compressor is running, or even in a closed cabin. My wife rarely joins me, and if she did it’s only 10-12 minutes. Cabin noise was a consideration, but not heavily weighted for my decision

It’s a risk for sure. They also recommend inflating it every 6 months to ensure longevity, something to consider. I always carry some super thick bath mats for cargo padding, winch damper, etc that I intend to use to protect it from any sharp rocks. Cargo mat and floor mats are another handy...

if your molles aren’t rock solid, I’m not sure I’d install it on the molles. That twin is surprisingly heavy for its size. These ADD are stout due to the bent design (which creates stuff space). I can rock mt Raptor with fingers in the Molle with no movement. my friend actually asked same...

if your looking for ideas….. mounted on my ADD rear molles. Molles are super sturdy and have a ton of room for stashing emergency clothes, sleeping bag, first aid kit etc. betwen them and window. compressor stays cool, dry, accessible. avoided adding more weight (I’ve got a 38” tire and...
