They also said at the 16:00 mark (in case you didn't watch the whole video) they've done this same trail MANY times when their Jeep was stock with ZERO problems. I guess that should be figured into the Bronco bashing. ?
They do have some pretty good videos and she can get a little annoying at times but overall I don't mind them. They do have a HUGE following and make a pretty good living doing these videos and selling their merchandise. Every spring break destination they go to everyone knows them so kudos to them for finding a way to make a ton of money doing what they like.
But that HD rack is only going on the Bronco Raptor. So if you want one you'll have to shell out more money where the Jeep is capable of doing this stock.
Dave I don't care what they said in this or any other video, a stock Jeep D30 0r D44 frontend can, will, and does routinely break with large tires and rock crawling.But that HD rack is only going on the Bronco Raptor. So if you want one you'll have to shell out more money where the Jeep is capable of doing this stock.
BTW I still have my Bronco order, I'm a glutton for punishment!
I'm not doubting they don't. It's just that the guy in the Bronco seems to be pretty experienced and has had his share of problems even with HD tie rods.
That is true and that 80 amp steering motor might actually be overkill for the platform. Simple example: My restored 87 GMC on 33s and a completely rebuilt, but stock, Saginaw GM power steering system is noticeably easier to turn while the vehicle is moving than when sitting still idling. Turning while idling is noticeably laborious on the system. My Ranger on the other hand on 33s feels Exactly the same no matter if moving or sitting still idling when turning the wheel. It's a powerful and torquey lil electric motor! In the olden days, when you would bind up the steering while off-roading you simply could not turn the steering wheel and had to back up or whatever and get yourself out of trouble. The power steering systems back then did not have enough power to break anything in Most cases.
