Had a Wildtrak ordered with Granger but as I was an October 1, 2020 reservation and unwilling to change my build, my delivery estimate was the end of 2023. So, the more I thought about it, I decided to go the F150 Tremor route, still with Granger and about $6,700 below MSRP.
I loaded this...
Looking to be educated (doesn't take much!)
The goal is to try and eliminate as many potential weak points as possible in the Sasquatch suspension before they fail. (Some of your experience off-roading other vehicles may translate.)
Two main areas:
1. What parts are most likely to fail, from...
Posting this to make it easier for folks using the search function.
Sasquatch wheel weighs 35.5 lbs.
Stock Sasquatch tire (Territory) weighs 52 lbs.
@KansasDan posted a video by Dan Edmunds who weighed the wheel and tire at a total of 87.5 lbs.
@webspoke posted in the same thread the weight of...
I contacted Apex to ask if they were planning on a sway bar disconnect for the Bronco. They replied, "Not at this time, but it is definitely on our list of potential projects." I believe their product is well regarded in the Jeep community, anyone with direct knowledge please confirm.
Anyway...
I've been going back and forth on this and could use some educated advice.
Was thinking of going with a winch in an after-market bumper to provide the front facing camera more visibility. With a lower mounted winch, that would cover up the adaptive cruise sensor and may or may not restrict...
I suspect a 48" Hi Lift jack would be adequate for a squatched Bronco with steel bumpers and rock sliders as lift points, and it should be more easily stored. Anyone with experience with these jacks have an opinion on 48" vs. a 60"? Thanks.
I believe the black rectangle in the lower front bumper is a radar type component. If this is accurate, do you think it is only used for the adaptive cruise control?
I'm planning on an aftermarket bumper with an integrated winch and that will cover up this area. I'm not going lux, so I don't...
I'm going with the 2.7L and this will be my first turbo engine. I've read the benefits of this engine's PI and DI versus just DI and I've read the various opinions on catch cans for this particular engine.
For the last 20+ years I've only used premium gas from top tier suppliers and full...
I've seen a few comments across multiple forums with concern over the length of the antenna. If this is a concern to you, remember that a cheap and easy solution is to just remove it and cut off however much you want. IMHO, this also looks better than the fat, stubby antennas, again, just my...
Sometimes I wonder if we get too caught up in a vehicle's specs on paper. As has been said by others more than a few times, so much depends on our own ability and getting the experience we need off road. Easy to forget what four wheel vehicles with far less capability than current models could...
The dash mounted picatinny rail accessory is a cool idea, but to take full advantage, you need power up on the dash to keep from tucking wires all around or having them hang over the dash.
Please add the dash USB ports to a lower package or as a stand-alone option/accessory. Perhaps even make...
If you plan on replacing your Bronco's plastic rear bumper with an aftermarket steel one, should you bother with adding the tow package when ordering? I'm wondering if the factory receiver hitch will be replaced with one integrated into the aftermarket bumper. Thanks.
Hi all, been lurking for awhile, but just joined. Zach@Granger's posting a few days ago pushed me over the edge so I placed a reservation today.
Looking at a Wildtrak in either Velocity Blue or Area 51. Hope they have a white top available or I might wrap or paint the top if not. Who knows...
