I'm having flashbacks to early Ranger ownership haha. It's completely normal to the 2.3 (not sure about the 2.7). All Rangers, including mine do that everytime you open the drivers door. Don't worry, it'll also do it at random times while sitting in your driveway/garage.
Looks like they wrapped one of their previous prototypes and added some red accents

Glad to see all the beefed up drivetrain parts. Bolt in Dana 60 is great! Plus Evo suspension is top notch!
I wonder if I can bolt that FDU up to my Ranger?
You probably are, just parts are difficult to come by. They took care of the towing and rental. You just have to wait your place inline for an engine. Initial build defects happen, but they're taking care of it. Could have been Ford's fault, a supplier, or raw material issue. Who knows...
So how many people are going to try to claim warranty on electrical / bite mark issues after taking their Bronco hood deep in alligator infested water?
I'm sold on it. Will be ordering mine in green! Hopefully with a tan interior. Then it'll be almost the same color combo of the '95 F-250 I had in high school. Miss that truck.
If i were to carry one, I guess on the tailgate in some form. But it's not high on my list of first mods to get.
A good video to watch (yes, Jeep content, but these guys make good videos)
Congrats on getting married and a new Bronco!
They had it on the Ramps in the front showing it off. I did stop and do a walk around. Beautiful rig. I got to drive their Cyber Orange Demo when it first came in a while back.
Did you work with Kurt? That's who I bought my Ranger from.
I've seen a number of them on the road out here in WA. Saw the two ARB Broncos coming back from the mountain one day. One dirty, one very clean. The clean one was wearing a more traditional ARB bumper I haven't seen pictures anywhere of yet ;)
There was a Velocity Blue Badlands Sasquatch sitting at Fugate Ford this weekend. Not sure if it was someone's or stock. Wish I could have brought it home.
Can't wait to see the full reveal. The renderings make me think Forza Motorsport. Forza 5 is coming out in November and a Bronco is already confirmed as part of the game. Wonder if this Raptor edition will make it in there.
