  1. Debating on 2.3 vs 2.7 engine?

    I’ve never used it. Put it in crawler gear, point it downhill and don’t touch the pedals.
  2. Explain traction control please

    I am older school with a manual so no Trail Control. I'll pay more attention next time I'm off-road.
  3. Explain traction control please

    I would say not with traction control disabled. I have never felt the ABS cycle off-road in 4 low when I have lost traction. (Maybe this is an intentional error on Ford's part to push people to Sasquatch or the FP M210.)
  4. Best bang for your buck suspension?

    No disagreement with anything you posted except this. They are not stiff. They are firmer. over small bumps but softer than stock elsewhere. They eliminate the harsh ride of the Hitachis on bad roads. They also give far greater stability on corner turn in and while cornering on a bumpy road..
  5. Top 4 Mickey Thompson Baja Tires

    The Baja Boss AT is SLIGHTLY quieter than the Grabber ATx. Edit: But the Marine Corps wrecked my hearing, especially in my left ear, so I might not be the best source for a comparison.
  6. 1966 Bronco Auction on Bring a Trailer

    Yes, a true Heritage Edition would come with 29" tires, drum brakes, 3 on the tree, manual steering and vacuum wipers! Still, I wish I hadn't sold my rust bucket '67 35 years ago.
  7. Top 4 Mickey Thompson Baja Tires

    Got these in 285/70 17 from your Waukesha, WI store. Went with SL based on MT's recommendation for 4-5 trail rides per year (go SL, save gas, get better acceleration, but carry a spare and buy tire certificates). They are great. Saving my 265/70-17's as they are great winter tires and have at...
  8. A New Kind of Portal

    No worries. We are getting outside the scope of the forum so I am sending a DM.
  9. Best bang for your buck suspension?

    I used this one and it was excellent quality and functioned extremely well for Chinesium: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DP2CDJU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
  10. Best bang for your buck suspension?

    The Bilstein 5100's are a tremendous update on-road. Turn-in on corners is much improved. Big bumps are no longer harsh, although the ride is firmer (but not harsh) over small bumps. There are curves going northbound on the IL tollway right between IL and WI. They have bumps that upset my Bronco...
  11. What did you do TO / WITH your Bronco today? 👨🏻‍🔧🧰🚿🛠

    In the last two weeks my buddy and I installed Bilstein 5100's set at 1" of lift, I had MT Baja Boss AT in 285/70 17 installed, and I installed a Rugged Radios G1. Ready for the trail season. Next year will be winch time.
  12. A New Kind of Portal

    Correct, and now even more specialized in the high performance window industry after a couple of stints in acedamia (Marquette University and TU Berlin) interspersed with industry (Cleaver Brooks and Siemens Power/KWU).
  13. A New Kind of Portal

    Thank you for the flashback to 1992 😃. I would need to study this a lot to pass as my entire engineering career has been thermo and heat transfer with a bit of beam deflection on the side!
  14. 35’s on a non Sasquatch Bronco - ride quality and performance?

    My display was about 13% optimistic until I calibrated it after about 20 tanks. I think it is worthless until calibrated. You calibrate it from engineering mode. You can find instructions for an F150 and they work.
  15. Questions for Rugged Radios G1 Users

    I just finished installing this radio in my Bronco. A couple of things aren't clear from the users manual. 1. Can I enter a channel from the mic? When I type a number from the mic it shows up on the main screen but I can't figure out how to confirm it. 2. Can you program the presets P1 & P2...
  16. 35’s on a non Sasquatch Bronco - ride quality and performance?

    I just switched to 33's on my 7MT BD, 4.46 gears. The 33's pair pretty nicely with the gearing. Out and out acceleration has suffered a tiny bit even though the gear spacing feels better. I am running 1" of lift on 5100's and the difference between these shocks and the Hitachis is huge. 6th gear...
  17. Debating on 2.3 vs 2.7 engine?

    Rear locker+auto gets you 4.27. Manual gets you at least 4.46.
  18. Cheap Fast & Easy Upgrade : POLK AUDIO DB402 DB+ Series 4" Coaxial Speakers

    Running the same, albeit with bass blockers. I'll add an amp someday but my truck budget for this year went to shocks, tires and a mobile GMRS radio. What swayed me on these were, as you stated, that they are marine rated. If you take your top off you fall into one of two camps: Those that have...
  19. Debating on 2.3 vs 2.7 engine?

    Base SAS was a great buy. Unfortunately it was automatic only in four door (I unfortunately require the space, and my wife hates automatics even more than I do..) and a washout interior is really a plus with my part-time police/SAR K9 business. So BD it was, a set of Bilstein 5100's cured the...
  20. Debating on 2.3 vs 2.7 engine?

    Unpopular opinion grounded in engineering: If you are not doing any real off-roading: Skip sasquatch. Go with the 2.3. You are buying thousands of dollars of off-roading equipment you don't need and will likely never use. Order the locking rear differential to get 4.27 gears. Ditch the stock...
