I checked out the exterior truck this afternoon. Zero marks on the skids, rock rails, frame, or differentials. Paint was good except rock chips on door hinges(fairly normal). Tires look to be orginal, they would have to be changed asap. If the truck ever went off pavement it did not involve...
Yes, exactly. Lockers in particular and the 4.10 gears would be nice for 33’s maybe 35’s in the future. The rubi is optioned close to my Willy’s. The trade off is to gain lockers but lose some life of the vehicle. I don’t think it is worth it in this case but what I’m weighing is the difference...
I had figured with the amount of inexpensive take off low mileage items on the various market places that I could swap out nearly all or even all of the bolt on suspension parts as needed or even right after a purchase for peace of mind.
I found a local preowned lot that recently received a 2020 rubicon optioned similar to what I want. Its got the options I’m after with 63,000 miles on it. I would assume that new of a vehicle with that mileage would mostly be highway. 63k seems like a lot but it also seems that our newer...
Well my story ends in a whimper. Arranged to meet the salesperson this afternoon only to get a call back that the bronco is now sold.
I do appreciate the back and forth comments on the bronco. It really is a nice unit and I think it’s fair to give ford a good look. I’m not so much locked in...
Maybe some misscommunication. I love the JT. I loved the way it rides and drives since day one. I did score some take off rubi shocks and springs which did not seem to change anything other then a little lift. Still rides and drives great. The only reason I’m tempted is because I do like the...
Looking at a 2.3 black diamond with additional mid package, modular bumper, and tow package.
Are there any glaring short comings compared to my willys such as drive train or suspension issues? The way I'm seeing it now is the black diamond matches what I have and adds a few things I want to...
Received the replacement top. Still a very tight fit but all three support bars are able to fit into the roll bar notches where as the first top the support bars could not all fit in the notches. Support bars are pretty stressed and nearly pulling out of the notches on the replacement top...
I thought I could tighten them up once it was installed on the truck but the nut and bolt both turn. I’m not sure if I can fit a wrench on the inside to hold the bolt while I tighten the nut. The bolts are not very loose but loose enough for me to bang on the bracket to move it around bit for...
Installed this morning. Installed in the drive way with no jack stands or ramps so it was a little tight under there.
I had some issues with the two front brackets not lining up correctly with the existing bolts on the truck frame. I ended up not tightening the bolts that hold the front brackets...
Resolved. I shipped back the original and I’m awaiting a new one. The first top took roughly six weeks from ordering to arrive. Figure I’m about three weeks into the wait for a replacement.
