Bird Dog Off Road Bronco

Beautiful Bronco!!!

Thanks! You are killing it!! follow this thread because almost all your ideas are spot on for me.

That's my color, roof, 4dr so I will be curious as to your wheel choice. I'm choosing Black Rhino Abram. What UCA did you go with?

[/QUOTE

Stock UCAs.
For as little lift as I have, I can see no reason for new UCAs yet…

Great minds think alike!

Stock wheels, and UCA with an RPG level and 37s. Slight rub @ full lock. Will be adding THe 3/4” spacer as @Bird Dog Overland has suggested. Can’t decide on a wheel set….

Tryin not to hijack @Bird Dog Overland thread but thought I'd share what my Bronco will become using @Ftchmup as my baseline since it will be identical. Mine will have BFG KM3 37s, Abram wheels, Gobi rack, front/rear ARB bumpers and most likely Shrockworks sliders. I like the RS Engineering but spendy. Still unsure if I will do RPG or Zone lift. Doing rack for awning and RTT plus lights all over.

New wheels today from www.midwesttread.com

Fuel Zephyr in matte bronze. 17x9 with -12 offset. Left the 0.75” spacers on to see what it did. Most likely will be taking them off though.

Great looking Bronco! But I like it with the original wheels better.

Wheels are a tough one cuz it’s always personal taste. One thing about the OE wheel I like is the “shiny” division between the tire and dark center. This has always appealed to me. I think both look pretty good and always look better in person. The new/bottom wheel upgrades the look to maybe a little “tougher” look but the OE still look pretty good.

Ok it’s been a while with the new lift/tire combo, so tell us how it’s going, how’s the ride quality, any rubbing, how are speed bumps/etc? I know when I originally had a spacer lift on my 4runner then went to full professional coils, it took bumps waaaay better. Why did you choose Zone over RPG over full system replacement?

 

[Bird Dog Off Road]

No regrets. Ride quality is great. speed bumps about the same. I will get a coil over kit at some point, but not in the budget just yet. Probably a 2023 purchase. I was not aware of the RPG option when I ordered the Zone kit (mid October). I would consider it if I didn't already have this. Not really sure if there are many pros/cons regarding one of the other.

So far so good. They are a little louder than stock Sasquatch, but not too much. They drive well, no issues in rain that I’ve had. Had them on my old 4Runner as well Without issue.

Any plans to install mudflaps? Do you think they will fit w 37s?

No plans and don’t think I ever will. I have PPF and the new rock sliders should prevent damage.

Probably my favorite mod thus far and not that expensive. Installed the LasFit 42” LED light bar on the roof using Quake LED brackets. Looks great and very affordable setup. We are also an affiliate with Lasfit.
