I can't speak for the OP nor am I aware of his wheel/tire package outside of just the size he referenced but I can share my own findings. On a stock suspension badlands with 17x8+40 wheels running 265/65/17 Yokohama G015 tires it DOES rub the pinch weld near full lock. It does not contact the...

I'm a big proponent of riv-nuts...any reason why they aren't in use for some of the bolt locations on the core piece?

I use them in my motorcycles and vehicles. My method is slightly different than others--I machine balance the wheel/tire then break the bead to add a couple ounces of counteract beads. Less beads in the tire but they are continually adapting as the tires wear/grab pebbles. Highly recommend...

Yes, I’ll verify tomorrow.

Yea that's been covered already.

I 100% would not pull/tow a BS from the light bar. Shocked FRL even offers that.

Yea, compared to the RC light bar the RI one is certainly better but it's still lacking. I really like the 'ford ranger lifts' light bar but at $500 it's grossly overpriced (especially unpainted/coated). If they offered them in aluminum then I'd likely choke down that price but there's no...

802.11r is great for mesh networks when you have client side devices that support it. Sounds like it would be just as easy to create an additional SSID on your network gear and disable roaming for that network alone (assuming your gear allows for it). Now you don't have to alter your existing...

It's absolutely recommended that seam sealer is reapplied or, at the very least, some appropriate paint. Even with folding it over one should consider seam sealer inside the fold and paint or sealer on the outside as paint will most likely be chipped away during the process. I'm more concerned...

Correct. I haven't inspected the pinch weld yet but if I could get away with removing enough to retain the spot welds then that would be an option. The other option would be to fold it over--sacrificing some rigidity but retaining the seam and metal. At the end of the day I'm not concerned with...

They do show the BS as a vehicle option but still no parts...

On to our fourth set of tires. Yokohama Geolander G015 @ 265/65r17 on 17x8 +40 wheels. Really happy with the traction, noise, and ride quality with these (all of which were concerns on the KO2's we had). Minor rubbing of the pinch weld at full lock but haven't experienced this in our daily...

We experienced a ton of understeer in the rain with the KO2's, to the point that we had the alignment checked. It was too unsettling for my wife for me to ignore it. The added weight of the KO2 does make it a stronger tire which is partly why it does well off road and we might have dealt with...

Very slight rub at full lock.

KO2 is not a great city option. The ride is rough, lots of tire noise, wet traction is marginal, and the heavy weight will impact fuel economy. There are also many reviews mentioning worse traction as they wear. We've had KO2's, Hankook Dynapro AT2, and now Yokohama Geolander GO15 tires on our...

Looks great. Any pricing yet?

from the factory, yes, that has been established already. the question is why Curt is claiming far greater ratings on their hitch for the Bronco Sport (which folks are going to go off of). GVWR plays a roll but the 500+lb tongue rating is a massive improvement.

I've certainly considered debadging as much of the rear as possible.

the BS needs less emblems as it is, folks adding the bronco (bucking or cursive) and badges similar to this give the exterior a cluttered look. Personal opinion but it comes from years of seeing vehicles like--

Exactly! If the limitation is not structural then that’s the information I like to hear. Completely understanding that the vehicle isn’t truly rated for towing such weights in stock form BUT I have less concern if I need to transport something over 220lbs on a hitch rack a few miles away. While...
