I considered these. But due to the chips being all the way down to the metal I needed to prime the area to get it as smooth as possible (which I didn’t do a great job at regardless).
About a month or so back in the winter, I put my wipers up expecting snow and ice (which did come). However, I started the car before putting the blades back down which caused them to slam into the rear part of the hood scratching the paint all the way down to the metal on two different parts…...
I would typically agree with this but I have spoke with them through email and they have told me that it 100% can be used for recovery. The issue is that I know that the bar does not attach to the frame and they could not explain to me how it it strong enough to be used as a recovery point…
Ford Ranger Lifts says they are suitable to be used for recovery hooks but they only attach to where the front of the tow hooks mount and not to the frame... On the description part of their product they say there is additional brackets available to reinforce the bar but they do not offer those...
Swinging rear gate would be kinda cool especially for those of us who had bigger tires put on. Could fit a full size spare without compromising trunk space.
I think adding in a Sasquatch Package that comes with Full bash plates, front and rear tow hooks, and gives the OBX model rear lockers is a significant refresh being that you cannot get that on earlier models. That is all more than just changes to bumpers and bigger screen.
Which even the...
Being that the 2025 year for the Bronco Sport is a pretty big refresh/redesign that addressed most of the main wants, it is hard to say what the next refresh will look like.
I think that the main thing folks are still wanting that hasn’t been addressed (outside of secondary market) is more...
You will be just fine in snow! Had my Big Bend driving around in about a foot of snow and really didn’t have any issues at all. You might want better tires but your drive train with the Badlands will be just fine.
Nope. I had 245/65r17 on stock suspension for a while and there is no rubbing at all. It’s definitely close though but some people claim they have gone bigger but I just can’t see how.
You definitely feel higher up so I wouldn’t take a corner at typical speeds due to higher center of gravity. But it feels great at higher speeds as well.
Welcome to the club! I will second the above and say that new aggressive tires is a great place to start. 245/65 (in my humble opinion) is the perfect size for the Baby Bronco. Not only does it look better but it also will give you more peace of mind depending on what tire you get. I went with...
The Eibach Springs are fantastic. Keeps original suspension parts but uses longer springs to get a lift. I have them installed and the ride feels the same if not slightly better.
