Funny you say that. I noticed a new rattle post lift but mine sounds like it's coming from underhood or somewhere in the front dash/IP/ windshield area. It seems wind related, not when I hit imperfections in the road, and I had it aligned so I'm 99.999% sure I didn't leave anything loose. Seems...
These fuzzy liners are almost standard now. I have them on at least two other branded vehicles, and on another forum for one of those vehicles, I think someone tried this idea. I don't recall the outcome, but it also seemed like a good idea to me.
I get the desire to improve NVH, but I...
Sounds like perhaps an exhaust heat shield where the weld has come loose. I have not had this problem on my BS, but have had it on several other Ford products. You'd really have to (CAREFULLY and SAFELY!) have someone look under it while this is happening to find the source. This is best done...
Just got back from measuring two 25 BL Sasquatch's sitting on the dealer lot. Mine is sitting 1" taller than those with the combo of HRG 1.5" lift and Wildpeak AT4Ws in 245/65/17, just for reference.
Thanks, Quashish! I'll check that one out. There is a guy on youtube with a channel called "Project Farm." He tests just about everything, and his testing methods are extensive and impressive! He just did one on these so I'm looking at his data as well.
Hitting this thread with the paddles to bring it back to life, along with providing some additional info in case it helps anyone.
To echo what Bill G and WildFord have found, here is a pic of a 21 BS BL with a brand new 245/65/17 Wildpeak AT4W installed on a factory wheel at 12psi. You can...
Looks great. I did mine across a couple evenings, too. Had an appointment i had to break for one night.
PS. Did you check the welds for the brackets that the sway bar end links attach to? 😀
Hey MTNMAN. What are your thoughts on BS BL Sasquatch vs. the Cherokee Trailhawk you had? I know the Cherokee has a real low range, which the BS does not. They both seem to be plagued with their share of quality issues. Just wondered what your thoughts are. I considered both as used...
Thanks for the feedback and the measurements, Bluebaru!
As close as I can measure, I'm at 10.3" to the bottom of the skid plate. That's with the 245/65/17 AT4Ws. The pinch weld measurements are easier to measure accurately. Those average 11 13/16" at the front, and 12 13/16" at the rear...
Are you beyond the 3/36 warranty? Seems crazy they are saying it's not covered if your BS is a 24 MY, unless you're past 36K miles. To be honest, $800 to diagnose seems absolutely NUTS! If you're past warranty, there's no way I'd pay that much. Just my opinion. YMMV.
I'm starting to think we should take measurements to the bottom of the pinch welds front and rear at the jacking points. I was just doing some research on the forum and it looks like someone with a Badlands Sasquatch showed 9" of clearance to the bottom of the fuel tank skid. I've got an...
I was thinking the same thing about the hatch/liftgate! I wasn't sure about the front end......leading edge of the hood was the first thing that came to mind, but wasn't 100% sure those changed or not.
