The Method wheel I have are +35mm offset, Everglades I believe are +30mm. There is enough room I don’t think you’ll have any issues with two tenths of an inch less offset.
I cut the bumper for flush mounted lights a couple years ago, they work great and I would do the exact same thing again. The angle of the bumper where they are is about ideal as far as being below horizontal and also angled out to the sides. I have them wired to the hitch plug so the red...
No issue with lug nuts on the Bronco.
I just purchased one of these, it’s a little beast. It makes me wonder if I can get rid of my M18 mid torque for my home garage, but I think I’d still want the M18 mid torque in 1/2” and the M12 in 3/8”.
The extra height from the A pillar location is an improvement for tight trails as you can get more light out to the sides outside the fenders compared to a bumper kit. I would go with the two pair in the bumper and one on the pillar option. I’m very pleased with the Diode Dynamics setup I’ve...
I’ve slimmed down my truck tools but the M12 Fuel 3/8” stubby impact is small enough that it’s worth the weight and size to me. I carry the batteries for lights and the inflator anyway.
I have to ask, do you know how to drive a manual transmission? I’m honestly not trying to be rude, but your rate of failure is higher than I’ve ever seen reported on any forum. I’ve seen a few people demolish clutches on Mustangs trying to drag race them, the Cummins trucks were notoriously hard...
I’m dropping off my Bronco at the dealer tomorrow for an oil change. I also asked them to investigate this pillar water leak and the chewing on rocks when cold manual transmission.
Mine wasn’t my primary vehicle until recently and I haven’t driven it in the winter, so only 6400 miles. The noise has been there all along. Mine shifts smooth and drives fine. The noise is noticeable when it’s sitting in neutral at idle, and goes away when I push in the clutch (trans stops...
I need to take mine in before the bumper to bumper warranty is up in December. I will swap back to the hard panels before I do as I’m sure they’ll just blame the sunrider. I also need to get them to look at my “sound like it’s chewing on rocks” manual transmission. I did purchase the extended...
You could bolt it on without the rear shell in place, but the entire thing would have to be completely removed to reinstall the rear shell. Too much of a PITA.
Are you sure it’s the Sunrider leaking and not the water leak many people have?

The OEM KO2s on my 2021 non-sas Badlands were definitely C-rated. The 285/70R17 KO2 is available in C or E, Ford puts C on out trucks. If yours came with E it was a mistake. Ford buys enough tires that they can get whatever spec they want.
E rated tires ride hard because they are designed...
I installed mine in spring 2022, removed it October 2022, reinstalled April 2023 to present. I haven’t had any issues with mine, but my Bronco has 6300 miles on it and spends most of the time in a garage as I had a work vehicle until recently.
I don’t think 66# is ideal. The stock 285/70R17 BFG are 50.5#. The Toyo’s I went with are 59# each which was heavier than I wanted, but I swapped to Method wheels that are 25# each instead of the stock at 28# each, so the difference isn’t too far off from stock.
I like the gray color. I’m planning on painting my garage and shop at some point, currently just white paint.
What are you looking at for a lift? It doesn’t look like you have much ceiling height to work with. I’ve been looking at lifts for my shop, I’m limited by the 10’ ceiling so...
