Ford Performance Braptor Rear Brace Installed on Everglades

[Ducati1098]

Its carbon Fiber... Way more than $20

That makes more sense. I didn't realize they were carbon fiber

Oh really ? Lol.
That brace won’t do squat for the OPs rig. It’s marketing something 99% of us don’t need. It’s for “looks” like so many of the comments here confirm.

The OP wanted the brace, for him and the look he was achieving. It adds torsion rigidity to the Bronco, so for a serious off-roader that means something to him. Do I see him doing this for marketing, NO. He doesn’t work for Ford or Ford Performance!

Now smash the like button and move along soldier.

You obviously completely missed the point lol .. It’s Ford doing the marking to make people think they need it. And 99% of trucks will never be pushed to NEED IT or even notice any difference. If he’s interested in being serious he should Upgrade his steering if he wants to upgrade his truck for wheeling. But if he thinks it “looks” bad ass good for him

Bring your FL rig out here to Moab and you’ll see lol … cya

So which ride has been your favorite and why? All 2.3L or also 2.7Ls?

Actually I prefer the 2.3 especially with the Ford Performance tune. The 4cyl is lighter and I feel like it’s easier to stay in the power. Havnt noticed mpg difference. I’ve driven them all and the uniqueness of the Everglades won me over.

Just for looks and a little body rigidity. Def not marketing. I’ve always had Broncos.

Nice. Just did one myself in my wildtrack.
The bolts aren’t aligning due to the plastic trim on the roll bar. The raptor has a different trim piece as well as the upper mount bracket.

This will square everything up and get you the stiffening by having 3 points secured.

Did you have to remove your speaker pods?

WTF there's nothing special about it. Probably costs them $20 to make

It has the Ford Performance/Raptor name on it...it is just like the $1300 carbon fiber grab handles for the dash.

Nice ! I might have another bronco as well haha. And no crossbar needed

the speaker pods are all the same. what you need to do is if you go to 6.5 new enclosures then its an issue.

Nope. Simple swap. I can get you pics later if you want.

I have the Raptor Bronco, I know what’s it’s capable of…

Jeez the amount of people who are so offended over added bracing to the roll bar is a bit strange... I think OP had the right idea to add it. I'm also looking to do the same thing but waiting for a cheaper aftermarket option or might just fab it up myself. Its completely possible that I might roll this thing one day so why not add a little extra structure?

Even a bigger joke.
