Marine Grade Vinyl and wash out floors for the win IMO. Opted for wash out floors on my Defender too, love them. Never doing carpet again.

You can see the recovery (2 unsuccessful attempts) using a kinetic rope at the 1:10 point. You’ll hear the clank in both from the bumper bending. They weren’t aggressive pulls. You can also see/hear my easy pull right after. I was going backward and downhill, but the Bronco wasn’t that...

I’ve recently seen someone who replaced the OEM air box with an aftermarket intake. It APPEARED to have cleared enough room to mount a compressor in the engine bay. Might be an option if you’re considering modifying air intake as well.

Don’t mean to talk trash, but I’ve personally seen two of the Turn Off-road bumpers (non-tube) on standard Broncos bend using the recovery points for doing snow recoveries. I think it may have to do with the slotted mounting points on the bumper. Not sure if tube style has same weakness. ...

I’m in the standard black flares camp, but I’ve also removed the mud flap extensions on the flares, the front bumper air dams, ditched those big ole steps for some body hugging RCI sliders and replaced the rear bumper with an ADD Rock fighter. IMO, all this makes subtraction the truck look way...

Your stock Sasquatch tires are All Terrains and meet the tire requirement (look for a little M+S marking on the sidewall) in CA for 4WD/AWD to pass the chain control checkpoint. If you read the actual requirements it says you still have to carry chains. But…..in practice almost no one in 4WD...

I ended up leaving it. It was going to be a lot of work to modify, I’d probably introduce some new risk and it’s pretty well protected in most circumstances. most likely spot to snag it is backing into some sturdy brush and looping it over a broken/cut branch. After running over a large...

I’ll be interested in hearing impressions on ride quality in an offroad!

I’m curious to hear what people’s opinions are on pros / cons of going with Hyperco lift springs vs. lift collars (e.g Foutz) to lift/level their Raptor. What are your thoughts? TIA https://www.hypercoils.com/shop/hyp-4x-05-02-01...

I’ll get back out there at some point. Raining for the next week so it’ll be awhile. If and when I get new video, I’ll post it here. But from past experience I’d typically be in Baja mode and I don’t believe I’ve had anywhere near that much rebound. But feeling the rebound and seeing the...

You’re welcome! I’m glad this worked out for you. You can buy me a beer if you’re ever in California. it always stuns me the amount of bad advice that people give on protection on these forums. Its hard to figure out what the right answer is if you’re jumping in fresh. Glad it worked out...

Yep, I got off the gas at/near departure.

Somewhere around 50, I think!

Baja mode, maybe not. Definitely something I’ll be investigating further. One consideration is that was a pretty dang big drop. While the wheels were only a foot or so off the ground I probably dropped down 12+ feet from wheel separation to landing. It’s a lot taller than it looks on...

Actually, upon further reflection, I was probably in Normal mode. I’d been running laps in Baja when I stopped (and turned off the truck) to talk to the guy who ultimately offered to film me. Im pretty sure I didn’t re-select Baja. it seemed like a lot of rebound after watching it too many...

This was so much fun at local track yesterday…..

I don’t think it’s possible. Maybe just over a $100k with all options on a 2024.

ADMs have just been replaced with AFMs. Additional Ford Markup. 13 months ago, ago I took delivery of a no options 2022 Raptor with an MSRP just under $70k (including delivery) I can now order a no options 2024 (including delivery and now standard Lux package) for just under $92k. Buyers...

I’ve got a pair of well scraped up “giant ugly loop things” for sale. They needed to go and this one good solution. Seems like a good, clean first step to clearing the departure area. And as you say, if you carry soft shackles and a hitch point (I do too) there is really no down side to this...

I’m surprised the approach angle is unaffected, but that’s great to hear. I estimated I lost a couple degrees with my ugly as sin JCR winch plate set up. Nonetheless, you’ll want to avoid a solid shot on that mount. I was riding shotgun in a RC Hidden Winch equipped Bronco when it...
