-I’ve got roughly 500 miles on it so far and I am very happy, but it not just barely rubs the rock slider at half turn since I put the winch on.
-Sadly not, the Anodizer messed up my color so I had to wait for the next batch 😭
-Coilovers definitely, I'm waiting to see which true long travel kits get released because my longterm goal is to be on 40s. Hoping Fox or King offer a 3.0 Coilover eventually.
-If you look at RPG’s Instagram they have a picture of their bronco on the same setup and I want to say it was on 0 offset wheels.
Why do you think adding the winch would have caused you to start rubbing on the rock slider? Weight bringing down the front?
thanks

Yup, and when I say it rubs I’m talking about ever so slightly, it could also have been the suspension settling but the bronco has 300 miles on it at this point.

Finally got to tackle some Snow in Moody Blue and was very happy with the performance, left it in 4 High coming off of Beech Mountain and then 4 Auto once I got down around Boone.

Also figured I would update my Mod list! Finally installed my Archetype BYODR Rail and I’m very happy with it! Great fit and well built! Next I added a set of Baja Design LP4s to my A Pillars using a set of Bad Ass Mounts Swivel Mounts. Very straightforward installation process and if enough people are interested I’ll post a how too! I got everything from Juggernaut Performance and Jon also set me up with the AWE Performance Bash Tip Exhaust which I will be installing soon!

I’m very Happy with it! The rest of my RPG goodies finally showed up as well so I hope to get those installed soon. Only rubbing is the same as before, about half turn either way the tire catches the rock slider. I’m at 1900 miles now so I think it’s done settling.

is there no center caps for the wheels?
Method 101s are Technically race wheels so no Center Caps or TPMS Sensors. You might could rig some up if it bothered you but not having them doesn’t bother me.

Installed my AWE Tuning Bashtip Single Exit 3” Exhaust on Moody Blue today. Very happy with the sound, will post some sound clips and more pics ASAP! If you look below the license plate you can just barely see the exhaust tip, very tightly tucked and no more big ugly muffler.

Hows the front windshield tint @ 75%. Do you think it is limiting your vision in the snow or during night time driving much? I would definitely not going any darker, but 75% looks unnoticeable from the outside.

As someone who despises super dark tint I don’t think so. I’ve put close to 2k miles on it and it’s one of my favorite mods. It’s unnoticeable from the inside and the outside to be honest plus the ceramic helps keep the cab cooler.

I love the BAM mounts. How much do they bounce around?

How was your experience at Shine Shop?
I'm headed over there tomorrow for Scott to take a look at my Eruption Green 2-door and provide an estimate.
