All the haters will say no way its possible. I say with confidence it is. I have a 1 inch level and sasquatch package and on the trails i have rubbed only once under extreme articulation. Thank you for your post.

Looks good but that license plate probably won’t last long there.

Knowing me I'll just bend it back but the cool thing is its a philips screwdriver and two seconds and its off while you ride.

I used this video to take the old bumper off.


Take the sensors off was easy. Now the hard part installing the sensors the two outside was stupid hard and didn't fit worth a dang. (What I had to do was take a small needle file and file the little plastic nubs that wouldn't let it set flush then I put the outside black in place then the white then I took a small (Small) flathead screwdriver and pried the two together it still didn't stay in place so then I took the sensor and put it in to hold the 2 together key thing is to use the flat head to make all the clips clip in. Also the sensor only goes in one way. The 2 middle ones are easy. Rest of it is easy. Make sure you go ahead and pull the plugs out the end of the bumper and zip tie up the wires.

Looks like it came in ahead of sched.

I canceled with ADD and ordered from Stage 3 Motorsports and they had it in stock it was at the house a week ago but I was out of town till yesterday. Crazy I save $300 and like 12 weeks by not ordering it direct.

I added the Gearshade Mesh top. (I paid full price just my opinion)

Its great I seen people complaining about the Ford one. Well none of that happens with this one.
You can leave it on all the time. When you let the soft top back part of the soft top hangs down in the back and can touch your head if you're sitting in the second row well the mesh top holds it up. So thats probably the best part. It really does work great I have used the in the past not that brand but mesh tops and this one works just as you would want.

This is just a pic not my ride.

These are of my ride.

Wife likes it also LOL

So I changed things up and went with the JTops
https://www.broncosunshades.com

Why the biggest thing was the back straps on the Sunshade they keep getting louse. You could see the bungees were only going to last so long and with me never taking it off and using it 100% of the time during the summer it just wasn’t going to hold up long term.

Jtop is just a complete different level plan and simple.
need more info or pics just ask.

I know this pic is post# 168 but I wanted to show from a different angle for anyone who had no idea how steep that spot really is. Same spot with a Jeep in the pic at a different angle.

No winch was needed by the Bronco

Sweet action. I'm planning on a 37x11.50 so I think less width may eliminate a lot of this close fitting as well. I think what is helping you and that other with very minimal rubbing is being on the stock wheels instead of something wider. It sucks the tire in a little bit on the bulge.

You ever try them?

Hey Bradley,

Great story, experimenting and benefitting all of us…Thanks for your hard work. I know the SAS wheel offset if 30 but I’m wondering your thoughts of this combo:

Non-SAS wheels (55 offset), 37s, full coilover lift like OME-BP51 or similar. You think there’s a fighting chance to make this wheel work and what size spacer? To get 0 offset it would take 2” spacer but that just feels wrong. With lift, maybe smaller spacer would work? Your thoughts?

Pic is just example of wheel I’m talkin about

Thanks
