Hi,

You talk about the lock box in the rear takes up a lot of room. I've looked at the pictures you have included already (thank you!), but I'm still trying to gauge just how much space you lose visually speaking (I can do the math to take 6 inches on the bottom + the height of the box = approx total height, but I'm having a hard time visualizing that. I don't have my Bronco yet to take a tape measure outside and take a look on my own.)

Would you mind uploading a new picture maybe from farther away? So, I can gauge.

Thank you.

last image shows the gap behind it. But it’s about pretty even with the bottom of the rear window height wise.

Nice build! I just got my OBX a couple weeks ago. Same mechanical build as yours. You mentioned in the post that the new tires and wheel are the same weight at the original stock wheels. Do you know what that weight was? I am looking to go 17" and larger tires but don't want to change the driving dynamics too much. Thanks and keep sending updates!

Build looks great! Thank you for the lead on the rentention buckles, will definitely order. Also, may use the seat protection idea to protect from the kiddos

i assume they are close because it’s not sluggish when I drive. For the life of me I could not find the weight of the stock ones, surely the new tires and wheels are slightly heavier but it’s not been enough that I can tell driving.

Thanks Aaron. That is helpful. I can look up the combined weight of your wheels and go from there.

Thank you. Very helpful. Will probably be too high up for my needs, but very happy it works for your needs. This was all very helpful and very descriptive with links. Appreciate you taking the time.

not sure how to take a pic of that. Can you do it so I can copy it. Sorry, I’m new to off-roading, so I haven’t given much thought to angles, my main focus was clearance. But now I too want to know

It’s false advertising, really what it does do is piss the wife off when I say nothing but flip a switch while she’s mid sentence. LOL

 

[AaronCam0]

ok that thing I don’t have, but I just ordered one on amazon, so pics tomorrow (hopefully)

yeah it’s huge, that’s why I’m waiting on my roof rack for putting luggage and whatnot on, but to be fair there really wasn’t a great amount of storage back there to begin with.

 

[AaronCam0]

now can you tell me what’s good bad and acceptable?

That's way better than mine. That's acceptable for sure

That's way better than mine. That's acceptable for sure

what am I looking for? I’m really new to this. Like what’s the range and what does the angle mean I the scheme of things? Thanks in advance!
