Are you ok with getting the replacement Velcro? It comes with two strips for the roll bars, and when I test for it for the install I applied the strips to my Bronco. I installed it, then it came off after only one drive (because I had to put the hard top back on to test fit down other mod I was...

Hello! The catch cans, spin on oil filter conversion, and the JTop.

That lower hinge is not a Raptor hinge...the Raptor hinge has the same configuration as the upper hinge shown in your picture (different part number, however). The older HB plate was drilled with wider holes to fit the OEM hinge, and I believe the newer version has holes that will fit either...

OEM Ford parts. Part numbers are below. Note the similarities of the hinges in the pics:

Unless the Raptor hinges changed from when I bought them the lower Raptor hinge should look just like the upper Raptor hinge with similar thicknesses to the OEM hinges where the bolts go but a lot thicker center sections with threaded holes.

I went with 15 foot pounds for torque...I did not want to risk stripping the nut plates. Ford didn't have a torque listed for them (even @flip checked ...)...so I used an engineering calculator for pitch/diameter of OEM bolts. Some of the kits out there recommend much higher torques...but I...

Stock are the correct ones...Raptor hinges are dimensionally identical to OEM hinges in the mounting area for through-bolts. The profile ramps up past the bolts.

That is because the Bronco upper hinge and lower hinge are not aligned vertical in relation to one another...all the Bronco top hinges are more toward the front bumper than the lower hinge is (not because of the hinge heights but because of the angle of the tailgate itself). If you took the...

Yup...the fairlead was just so-so and I got a new hook quickly. They had to cut corners somewhere at the price I paid, but pleased overall with the winch itself.

I installed the AFE box... and if I had to do it again, I would go with the Injen not only because it is a closed box like the AFE, but it also replaces the driver side pipe that leads to the turbo (the AFE does not). In my opinion any intake that is open and not closed is not actually a "cold...

What the current iteration of the Ford Bronco ended up being for me was close to being what I was seeking but not quite there...I think Toyota could take a lesson from the Bronco popularity, and bring back a more realistic tribute to the FJ40 or the FJ60 and put a V6 naturally aspirated engine...

I waited over 2 years and was thrilled initially with my 2 door Badlands SAS Lux. Initially, I was a little concerned that I went big on the options, but afterwards and reading about all the people trying to install the things that they initially said they didn't need made me feel like I made a...

I'm no economist but regardless of currency valuation I paid 55k for my 21 back in 21...at 2% interest. To buy that same trim level today at MSRP is 64k...and the interest rate is much higher. Had I have kept my Bronco, I would not have bragged about it holding REsale value (because it...

For reference/context Carvana gave me 44k for my 2 door Badlands SAS/Lux 2.7 auto (MSRP in 2021 was 55k) with less than 7k miles and no damage. Note to future self, keep OEM parts intact if the plan down the road is to add aftermarket goodies...I was able to grab some things off mine before it...

Thanks! I am thrilled to have a physical stick for my t-case AND my transmission...and although the sunk cost hurt, I rationalized that it was worth it because the prior owner of the FJ lost more than the MSRP of my Bronco when he sold it to me...so there's that. The Bronco was pretty cool...

As it turned out, Carvana is the one who bought my Bronco and they offered me much more than CarMax...KBB and NADA were very close to Carvana.

I loved my Bronco but oh boy did I get wrecked on the resale...kudos to those of you who are less impulsive than I am and who don't need the newest shiny thing and can wait it out! Along with the resale of the Bronco itself the parts that I bought that I salivated over (and had to wait for) also...

If anyone is interested I have the Mishimoto catch can set up for the 2.7 available...complete with very low miles. Even with just under 2,000 mi I got oil out of both cans. I sold my Bronco, and hastily took the parts off that I knew weren't going to get me any extra money during the sale. I...

When I was searching for a donor VIN in order to program a 3.0 rack at the time I was thinking of installing one, I was able to search the interwebs for window stickered vehicles and on them Hoss 3.0 was clearly listed on the very few 23s that had them.

Agreed that neither Bronco or 4runner are actually refined...but Bronco seemed closer to "refined" than the 4runner. Neither are in the same ballpark as many other vehicles, including even the much cheaper used LR3 I once bought (those things drop like a rock in resale but have one of the most...
