[1979]

Well I guess it’s time for one of these threads. My 2022 4 door Bronco started life as a run of the mill Cactus Grey Badsquatch. 2.7L Hard top with Lux package. Here it is the day I picked it up.

And here it is as it is today.

Current mods:

Camburg Tubular Upper Control Arms
Massive Speed Adjustable Track Bar
Chaos Concepts Tie Rod Braces
Fifteen52 Analog HD Wheels
37x12.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Hammerbuilt Tailgate Reinforcement
Rigid 360 Ditch Lights (removed)
Ford Safari Bar
Amazon Blackout Grille letters (removed)
ARB dual Compressor mounted under hood
DV8 OE Plus Side Steps
JCR Off-road Front Door Molle Pockets
Barnes 4WD Rear Shock Skids
Custom Monotone Badlands Badges
Painted Grille Gloss Black
Cactus Grey Bronco lettering
KC Flex Era 4 Ditch lights
Oracle Oculus headlights
Probably a few more minor things I’m missing

Bora 1.25” spacers

Some action shots from the past year

Edit for a front end refresh.

Added a set of Oracle Oculus headlights
Swapped the Rigid 360 pod lights for a pair of KC Flex Era 4

How do you like the Eibach coilovers, how does it ride when compared to stock?

Nice!
Title disappointed me a bit.
I expected to click on it and see the version of a Squatch build from 1979.

However, post was redeemed with proper usage pics of a Bronco in a natural habitat!

The Eibachs are great. Comparison is tough since I had RPG perch collars on the OEM Bilsteins since it was practically brand new. Those were stuff as hell and the Eibachs are much softer. Off road they are great, not a single complaint.

Well done using this ride to high potential. Motivating pics

Were the action pics done in Maryland?

 

[stbanning]

how do those ridge grapplers do with grabbing/throwing gravel?

No issues but I honestly don’t drive in gravel very often.

How much lift did you wind up with and were did you set the coil overs to to get it?

 

[KompressorV12]

How high do you have those coilovers set? And any issue with rubbing at full stuff?

Probably silly.... What MPG with the lift and 37s?

Not silly at all, I was about to ask the same question.

Good looking rig but still trying to figure out what the hell 1979 has to do with this post...
