MPG has definitely taken a hit, averaging about 21mpg now but having the extra off road capable tires has been worth it to me ?
Looks awesome, Chase! Great to see the Bronco Sport in its natural habitat. Let the adventures begin!I've been working on some exterior mods to my OB edition to get set up for overlanding out here in CO. Really excited with how things have been turning out so far.
The only minor issue I've faced is with my RC lift. I took it out on a moderate off-roading trail and started noticing a clunking coming from loose sway bar bolts. Was able to take it into my local shop and all seems good now but will be going back out this weekend to see how it holds up. If more issues arise I'm considering switching to @FordBroncoLifts later in the summer.
No issues with anything else and love the more rugged look I've been able to put together. A list of what I've added so far:
- RC 1.5" lift
- Alpha Equip grey wheels
- 245/70/r17 BFG KO2 tires (No rubbing with the lift but it is close)
- RIGd multi-fit ultraswing with table mount accessory
- Roofnest Sparrow Adventure root top tent
- RC bull bar with 4" led lights
- Crossbars from Yakima
- Some FE style decals from vortexsigns
Next up on my overlanding set up is determining a storage solution for inside the bronco. Right now I just have a bunch of cheap storage bins so if someone has ideas let me know!

That's gotta be alot of weight and doesn't that trim have the 1.5L? How does it feel with all of the weight and where did you get the rear tire rack?I've been working on some exterior mods to my OB edition to get set up for overlanding out here in CO.

I’ve heard retightening RC is a common issue. And some shops will even recommend coming back after a certain miles. The shop I went to said this is because RC uses bolts that are less expensive. He went through a full explanation and said he will put on whatever I wanted and he’s not a sales person but just explained both options I had through him. I ended up with Ready Lift. But the handful of people I’ve seen mention needing retightening have said it was good to go after that. Best of luck! Tire swing is next on my project list, looks great.I've been working on some exterior mods to my OB edition to get set up for overlanding out here in CO.

Any word on the camera relocating kit for the swing away?
Agreed. This is the only thing holding me back from a purchase.
