74WELD Steering Rack installed review on my Bronco Raptor

[SS Bronco]

Still trying to get an exact how much for what? Went on their site, doesn’t even seem like they’re available? Hopefully the OP will address it if he sees this.

Yeah I took out my rack and swapped the internals into 74weld unit. I broke my original rack and it took over 5 weeks to get the new one into the dealer. The same day I got it back I pulled it out and put in the 74Weld rack.

Do you by chance have the factory rack housing? I know in another thread they were looking for pictures/dimensions of the HOSS 4.0 to compare to the HOSS 3.0 housing.

Yep, I remember seeing that, but that’s still dancing all around the price. If it’s $4900, with 74Weld housing, Hoss internals, installed, and programmed, GREAT! Sign me up, but my gut is telling me $4900 isn’t close to the final price. Just trying to get a good figure before I go into sticker shock, LOL!

Remember that you are paying for the housing and for them to swap the internal parts.

So $4900 plus install sounds right.

But…….

That doesn’t get me the answer, and trust me, I’m not trying to be difficult. So where do these internals come from? And are they Hoss 3.0 internals? And if they are, installed into the 74Weld housing gets you the $4900 price? Then the install into the Bronco, and programming it has to be more?

soo is breaking 3.0 racks a new thing? I get the upgrade if you dont have a 3.0 rack. but these are built better obviously but still have 3.0 guts.

Yes, they buy the 3.0 rack and swap the internals. Install and programming extra.

Thank you!!!!

i think there is a bit of confusion in this thread. For Bronco Raptor specifically it is 3k. You send your factory rack to 74weld, they swap the internals and send it back to you. Then u either install yourself or pay your shop of choice to do it.

if I remember correctly, OP blew out his oem rack when while running the RPG tie rods.

OP - aren’t you concerned that by running the rpg tie rods, the rack internals are the weak points? Idk, as nice and strong as the RPG tie rods are, I feel like running the stock ones might save money as the tie rod itself is the weak point. It’s cheaper to replace a tie rod than the rack internals.

So, the plot thickens

If you have a Warthog, Exodus4x4 will charge you $3,900 for the entire job if you bring them your vehicle.

From my understanding it’s 4900 for everything out there door. That covers install, programming and alignment.

With the way the 74Weld rack is designed and braces the stock internals I am not too worried. But we will find out how it holds up.

Yeah I still have the stock housing.

Yes I did the, I broke both front CVs and steering rack in Moab. It went Pass side CV pop, Driver Side CV pop then rack boom.
