Yes essentially the same but less weight and easier to mount. Would take 5 minutes to install vs 1-2 hours of fooling around with FDRS software. This is a much easier solution for people who turn wrenchs.
Yeah, That's exactly what I would expect the aftermarket is going to do, no real reason to get any fancier than couple resistors for load, and a relay that'll switch the load when the main system tells it to disconnect... Probably really just need a simple ASIC..
Also true... Eventually Ford Performance might put out some stuff, but it'll be years, and the FDU will come from Dana, Not Ford..
Between the two of us, we could probably build a four wheel steer buggy that breaks tie rods every 200 yards.
Figuring this all out the first time, that was no joke, and I am in awe of the brave people who did it before me. That said...
Ah, I kinda figured that was the case but wanted to be sure. My stupid rack hasn't even shipped yet.
Well thank you for the kind words of encouragement, but I’m really not much of a mechanic. I have a few buddies that are very experienced, but none of us have experience with any programming. I need to learn more that’s for sure. Bumpers, armor, spark plugs, simple stuff I’m game. As you said, “unfamiliar” is spot on and anything with a laptop I’m bound to paint myself into a corner.
Doubtful that anyone would put in he legwork.
I might make the drive down with the rack in back for your expertise. I’m ordering mine when I get back from Sedona. Planning to do the rack and Sasquatch or 3.0 suspension in my Badlands. Then follow that up with the 210 and 35s.
If you've got a Badlands, You've already got the 210 and the best gearing Ford offers right now. Also an ever so slightly better suspension than the Sasquatch, (Same shocks, shorter bump stop). The HOSS 3.0 suspension would be an upgrade, but not the Sasquatch... a 1" level kit would be better than the Squatch...
Sorry meant 4.70.
An initial denial isn't a final denial if the service person at the dealership is wrong. Also, we don't know the details of someone getting denied warranty coverage because the vehicle had "dirt" on it. If there was abuse it isn't warrantied, so any warranty denial would have to be evaluated on an individual basis. I'm simply answering the question "does taking the Bronco off road void the warranty on a particular part?" and the answer to that is no, it doesn't. People have cabins down a long dirt rode, people go camping down dirt roads, people drive to hiking trailheads down long dirt roads, ranchers and construction people and oilfield workers and miners and tons of other professions drive vehicles down long even rough dirt roads. It does not void a warranty on a part.
Yeah, to do 35's on my Badlands I only used the bottom spacer on the 1" leveling kit, which was perfect. SAS is only .43" more lift than Badlands, so if the whole 1" kit is installed on a Badlands the front it will be too high. Mine sits level, and no rubbing that I have found front or rear with 35's.
