Those are good questions, I guess, for some... I figured for the few that are looking for an extreme rock crawler that requires 40+ inches of rubber. I'm not referring to individuals who are doing this for looks, but more for capability.Shit.
Frame rub with 37's..not thrilled.
Can you run the Sasquatch flares with Stage 2 Max kit or do you need to run the flare delete kit?
Also, is the 5th wheel and tire included in the Stage 2 Max kit pricing?
Jeep or not to Jeep is becoming the question again.
He also deleted all of his posts in the thread and changed his first name and location in his profile. Very suspect.@BroncoExclusive
What the heck is going on, not everyone was gushing over the 4WP packages and pricing and you change the title and delete the first post?
This does not reflect well on DSI or 4WP.

Definitely full on shady.So, if I want the slick fender deletes, like I’m sure plenty of people do, you are not currently offering that for less than $11k? lol. Someone needs to think about Sasquatch spec’d customers probably not looking to immediately swap out shocks, wheels and tires.
Also, maybe it’s just me, but I would assume this post would seem WAY less informal / shady-ish to others as well if you introduced yourself broadly with links and explained the connection between DSI and the 4WP build, or, as I gather here, DSI working with the Smittybuilt side of 4WP. https://dsicustomvehicles.com/about-us.html
Thanks, appreciate the insight, I think for me I plan on using it up in Vermont, mostly dirt roads l, gettin to and from the mountains during all seasons, maybe more adventurous stuff down the road, I was worried about gettin sasquatch, maybe never using, as the miles pile up some of those features (lockers, sway bar disconnect, etc), just potentially more mechanical issues, more costs, I guess with building as I go I can add as I see fitAn answer to your question isn't a simple one. Really depends on what you view as "maintenance".
Off road vehicles have a lot going on; particularly if you actually wheel. Wheeling presents wear and tear, so maintenance will likely be more than if you never leave the pavement; but this doesn't point to a problem.
parts for off roaders are swapped and upgraded with some regularity as guys tinker with their rigs. This will of course vary from guy to guy as far as those who do our own wrenching vs. cost of taking to a shop.
Building as you go in a sort of Frankenbuild where you mix a ton of parts here and there may lead to more maintenance if the proper mix isn't taken into consideration.
A kit from one tuner who did some R&D on parts and fit and finish will usually cut down on issues down the road, but this is not a guarantee.
Building a rig is full of potential risk, but the rewards are fun when wheeling, so most of us who do this as a hobby walk in with eyes open.
However, as long as you're not doing things in your Bronco that would normally require a cage and harness, you should be able to enjoy years of trail running with little problems other than normal wear unless you start banging shit on rocks or roots.
Buy what you can, give it a shot, then upgrade where you see you actually need to to improve capability, comfort, or power.
