Thanks! And you're running the stock sasquatch tires?

They are the same tires as what comes on the Sasquatch.

Picked the Badlands up this morning. Forgot the fun you can have with a manual transmission!

It‘s from JCR: https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/BR6RK-S.html

It finally arrives tomorrow (fun lead times over there!) and I hope to install it this weekend.

Curious how this performs on a 2-door Bronco where the frontmost roof clamping point isn't reinforced.

The weight capacity is certainly reduced as a result. They claim 120lbs dynamic, but I'm looking at closer to 100lbs. I'm used to similar racks from the Jeep world where they just sit on top of the fiberglass with the gutters to help with location. The on-top versions on Jeeps don't have any reinforcement at all and are rated at 100lbs, so the 120lbs given the single set of reinforcements on the Bronco feels reasonable.

Now to see how well it works on pressboard with a very thin plastic veneer which is already known for cracking.

The poor Bronco roofs are a great design, but letting the colors and materials team pick the construction was a bad call.

New wheels/tires put on today. Ignore the shadows, we were in a tornado warning and I had very little time to snap some quick pictures with the low sun angle that was about to disappear. We just got hailed on again for the 2nd time in 6 weeks, luckily it was pea size or smaller again. I think I need to start putting the Bronco in the garage!

Been getting a little fun usage here in SoCal, Rower Flats OHV area.
Lone peacock at the top of Lookout Mountain.
Towing my son's R1 to the shop for a new rear tire.

Tire size, wheel offset, any lift?

Pro comp 1069's 17x9 with -6 offset, 35x12.5x17 KM3's with no lift (base/Sas truck). The front tires do rub the mud flaps at full lock and I have a 1" level kit waiting to go on so I'll try that first, then might trim the mud flaps if needed.

Yep. Stock Sas tires.

Thought it looked good yesterday, so snagged a pic.

Bronco at dusk.

Got a complete detail done today for tomorrow's charity car show tomorrow with my Dad. Exterior, interior and undercarriage completely cleaned. Whenever I need it done, I call and a team of 2 come to the house and spend about 2-2.5hrs on it.

Beautiful Bronco. Curious, 2.3 L or 2.7 L? Daughter has a 2 door on order.

Thanks, 2.3/automatic

Definitely loving my 2 door that I picked up Thursday!

On that note, I wonder why Ford doesn't differentiate 2.3 vs 2.7 with some type of external badging.....Lord knows every other car manufacturer wants you to know if it's 2.3 vs 2.8 (BMW) or 350 vs 550 (Mercedes).......strange.
