1 year update videos are very underrated. First impressions can't cover real world use. Thank you.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Very welcome! I'll do more in the future! Thank you for the comment!

[@kwelhand]

Thank you for your excellent Bronco video as always.... saved me the money by watching your video. Keep up the great work!

[@NorthwestBronco]

Glad you found it helpful. Thank you for the comment!

As for lubing your tailgate hinges, Tri-Flow and other such lubricants carry a powdered Teflon into the mechanism and then the liquid carrier evaporates. The Teflon powder remains to lube the part and is not attractive to road dust. Some road dust will get in, but it is not held as much as regular oil or grease would do. I would suggest the 2.0 oz. plastic squeeze bottle of Tri-Flow vs. aerosol can. The stuff cost about $4, the bottle lasts forever, and if you use the little application straw you can get the lube into tight spots. Tape the application straw to the bottle so you don't lose it! Shake the stuff well before each use to get the Teflon powder into suspension. An 80-year-old locksmith got me onto this stuff. He said a lot of his repairs just involve cleaning locks with acetone spray, blasting out the mechanism with compressed air, and then applying Tri-Flow. I use the stuff in all areas where dust is a problem. Happy trails!

Great comment! I'll be picking that up for sure! Thank you!

My concern with this and many systems adding accessories to the tailgate; the added weight and stress on the vehicle body where the hinges mount to. Some systems have heavier hinges but the failure point could be the body itself. Weight, bouncing weight, reinforce over there, put stress over here. I just wonder if we will eventually see body damage. Some have added far more weight than you have. Great video and a great Bronco build!

This was an excellent summary of the pros and cons told objectively. Thank you. I'm trying to make a decision about a tailgate-mounted fuel system (Jerry Can or Rotopax) and navigating the options available is a challenge. Like you, I am keeping my 35s and don't need the larger tire mount. However, I would like to have heavy duty hinges to support fuel. I can't seem to find those anywhere. Thanks for the good assessment.

[@NorthwestBronco]

That's a tough one. The cheapest option is to strap a large Rotopax fuel can to the roof. For a price you can get an entire bumper system: www.jcroffroad.com/product/BR6RV.html Some roof racks have side window mounts: trailrax.com/products/trailrax-modular-roof-rack-for-the-ford-bronco-4-door?variant=42350101430439&currency=USD&srsltid=AfmBOoogeccy6TE2iYa58Kf0VMHhDV6OQTfMvSHTGYWQ6hQj6DuaT8LB1mY&com_cvv=8fb3d522dc163aeadb66e08cd7450cbbdddc64c6cf2e8891f6d48747c6d56d2c If I had to do it over again, I would not add weight to the tailgate. I'd go the bumper mount for the extra strength and ability to carry two cans. One can just isn't enough for my type of trips. Hope this helps!

[@iamninjak5250]

Thanks for this video, I was mulling back n forth on this system. I love the Jerry can setup. I actually run 37's so a need for a HD carrier is real. For now its a compressor and patches-plugs. I run a delete with two small Jerry roto X cans. Would you have done this if you had 37's? I know turn-off road is going to do a system like this. I may wait to see what they come up with.

[@NorthwestBronco]

If I were you and have 37's.....RTR would work fine, but I'd chose this: www.exp-one.com/products/ford-bronco-2021/ It also has a jerry can mount option and does not mount to the tailgate.

[@iamninjak5250]

@@NorthwestBronco I have seen those, but I already have a WARN bumper to go with the front, so I need to find one that I do not have to replace the rear bumper as well.

[@NorthwestBronco]

@@iamninjak5250 The RTR is another option for sure!

[@texasbradley]

Thanks for the videos, they are very helpful. After looking at the issues with this system I've decided not to go with it. I think that there are new hammer built version on the market that's lighter and it does the same things with the Jerry cans.

[@NorthwestBronco]

Glad the video helped you out. Thank you for the comment!

[@dannyp4959]

Thanks for the tips! Don't you know some firemen that can hold that tailgate while you straighten it? Have a great day dude!

[@NorthwestBronco]

LOL! Two people would help for sure! Thanks for the comment!

@@NorthwestBronco is the adjustable tailgate. Stop required if I’m not adding any accessories like a gas can at this time.

[@NorthwestBronco]

@@garybrady7445 I don't believe so. It's there to protect the tail light from the fuel can. It works well. But I don't BELIEVE it's required if you don't have the fuel can. Hope this helps!

where did you get that black ford badge?

[@NorthwestBronco]

It's blue, just looks black in the video. A black one would look good though!

[@pigbelly100]

How are the Toyo’s holding up? You still happy with them?

[@NorthwestBronco]

Great question. I recently post an update video on the Toyo's. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gajKXquVg7GDj5I Thank you for the question!

@@NorthwestBronco yeah I saw that one already. I’m waiting for Labor Day sales to buy a set. I’m constantly looking for feedback from owners till then lol. Thanks for replying

[@NorthwestBronco]

@@pigbelly100 I'd say pull the trigger. They have been wonderful on and off road. I'd suggest 35 psi cold for a pressure. Once they warm up, they will settle around 37psi and that's a great pressure for pavement.

Where did the “don’t break your lug nuts” video go??

[@NorthwestBronco]

A few months ago I deleted a bunch of videos that's weren't doing very well to clean up the channel. Looks like I forgot to mention that in the new RTR video under CONS. I'll do another follow up in a year or so and add that to the list. Thank you for the question!

[@WaddyBronco]

@@NorthwestBronco question, before you installed the RTR tire mount I saw that you went to the Black diamond steel wheels. Did you have any issues with the little bumpers on the swing gate contacting the tire?

[@NorthwestBronco]

I see what your asking. I don't think so. I believe I had to remove them when the tire carrier was installed, because the kit comes with the plugs. But don't hold me to that.@@WaddyBronco
