I used one of the reinforcement plates (rough country) that does not replace the hinges and still had the tailgate rattle. I ended up going with the Smittybilt which replaced the hinges and zero rattle. Very happy with it...
Selling a set of brand new front and rear 5" ADV flares as well as ADV's fender liners for all 4 corners (4 Door). Never been painted or installed, only removed out of the shipping box to store them in my attic. Decided to go another direction and looking to spend money on suspension rather than...
Curious to hear the answers! I have a set of 5” flares in my garage waiting to get installed. So far I have been quoted $1000 to get fenders installed and $4k-5k for paint. I also have two quotes for wrapping the vehicle rather than painting and are right about $3,500. The wrap price doesn’t...
I had the same issue and installed the RC bracket and it was fine for a month or so but started squeaking again. I replaced RC bracket with the Smittybilt and now no issues for 3 months so far. The Smittybilt replaced the entire hinge assembly. I wish I would have just gone straight to that...
It has 6 bolts (3 on upper portion and 3 lower portion) that can be removed and accessories added but TBD on what it’s compatible with. I am curious as well if the rotopax would work. It also has a mount for a flag/antenna.
I think it would be pretty easy to paint it black or overlay it with a black sticker. It feels like it’s just a plastic piece glued on so you may be able to heat it up and peel it off. I kind of like the yellow with my Area 51.
I agree with @Ninjak, you would rather over support it than under support it. I also love the look so if anything it would give your bronco an upgrade in that category.
A month in and I am still super happy with it. No unwanted noises and the tailgate feels extremely solid!
Looks great, love the wide look and the color! I have the 5" ADV fenders sitting in my garage and trying to decide between paint matching them or wrapping the entire vehicle.
How was the process getting the fenders wrapped? Did the shop who installed it charge you extra to get the fenders...
I finally got around to installing the Smittybilt HD Pivot Tire Carrier (Smittybilt Tire Carrier) on my Bronco and am extremely happy with the result! I was also considering the Turn Off-road tire carrier which looks super impressive and strong but decided that I am not going to do enough...
Yes, I was using the rough country tailgate bracket and it did not fix the annoying noise that came every time I hit a bump. It really didn’t even make a difference from stock with the noise. So my issue was with the hinges and the Smittybilt replaces the entire hinge setup and requires that you...
Finally got around to installing the Smittybilt HD Pivot Tire Carrier and the awful tailgate noise/rattle is completely gone! That in itself makes every penny worth it! Took me about 2 hours and had someone help me hold the bracket to the tailgate while I hand screwed everything in.
The whole...
I just ordered mine this past week from 4wp and it came in yesterday. Going to try and install it this weekend and will report back.
I had an annoying sound coming from the tailgate every time I hit a bump from my heavier wheel and tire package. I have read through all the forums checked...
