Ford Bronco Overland Build in 10 minutes

[@Toyota_Ted]

I really appreciate the bit at the end saying “buy to your needs, not because social media tells you that’s what you need.” I see so many overbuilt rigs for absolutely no reason what so ever besides burning cash. Which, if you’ve got it… that’s fine, it just seems like a waste to build out a truck that will spend 90% of its life on pavement.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I totally agree. But to each their own. I try and be as minimalist as possible (for an over lander at least lol) but I know some people want a lot more comfort when they go out and that’s totally fine. I just really hate when people order a ton of shit without having taken the rig out

[@mastering-digital]

Yup, I was about to go buy everything! I can buy everything money is not the problem,....I just don't need everyting! That part of the video hit home.

[@yankohristov2361]

Very good job on the car and really nice work on the video itself! Greetings from the Rhodope Mountains, Bulgaria!

[@chrisbrennan2208]

Great build and great advice for building a rig.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!

[@brankb83]

DUDE!!!! This was a FANTASTIC video! I also loved the ending!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it and stuck around til the end

[@kman8482]

bros channel needs more love

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Agreed haha

[@Tiggerlooker]

I love your ending monolog! you are right people are so quick to just throw parts at a car possibly not even needing it because they see others with it.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Yeah, people can save a lot of money by just modifying as they find deficiencies rather than just making it look the part

[@raimxD]

Como siempre, excelente video! es increible que esos dos años de modificación los hayas podido colocar en 10min de video!! es una locura! Gran trabajo! espero poder seguir viendo tus aventuras y futuras modificaciones a tu Bronco!

[@OverlandingArmyVeteran]

Love it man! I am really looking at the suspension since you love it that much. Keep up the great videos! And to you and all out Veteran's watching Stay Strong!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Dude it’s so freakin good! I had it on my Tacoma as well so being able to run it on a couple different platforms and it performs the same across the board. So good.

[@VictorVlogsPDX]

Amazing build. So much inspiration for the future. We bought ours just a month before you. So we've had similar ownership time. I'm still riding on the stock suspension, wheels and tires. All stuff I'd love to eventually upgrade. But as you said, so far, it's served us well for our needs.

[@therealnaas8473]

Man I just love your videos! Appreciate all the great content!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you so much!

[@matrixshifts3346]

I like your videos. Gave me good ideas on what I can upgrade on mine. Once I’m out of college 😂

[@mcwendel8066]

Definitely one of the nicer broncos I’ve seen, great work! Pretty sweet you could just drop the winch in the bumper. After mounting it, looks good! Love both set of wheels as well.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you! Yeah I love that the winch wasn’t just stuck on the top of the bumper. Looks really good in my opinion. And thanks!

[@JarradShaw]

YES! Finally and great upgrade video for my wife’s 2024 Bronco. Bro, thank you ❤

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Glad I could help you spend your money lol! Enjoy!

[@JarradShaw]

Lol!!!

[@marcogarza8754]

Great Video!

[@coffee-dogg]

It looks really good. That is what the new broncos should look like.

[@jamescampbell5542]

Nice Bronco and video with mods anyone can do themselves.

[@salarsadri]

Rig looks awesome!

[@NorthShoreBronco]

Awesome build video man! I was going to do a basic walk around video... but now I need to step it up a notch.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

lol I think you’ll have fun with it if you do this. It was really cool to look back through all my footage

[@NorthShoreBronco]

@@OFFTHEGRIND maybe i'll do mine but every flash back is of something going wrong and me saying "it's fine"

[@jeepchronicles5644]

Awesome build brother! I just got a new 392 and I gotta say I’m excited to start this chapter of building my rig. Totally agree with your final statement, I’ve always recommended taking your stock vehicle out first and making a list of what changes you’d like after. Subbing for more of your content 💪🏽🍻

[@mitchobrien401]

Last 10 seconds are key. Great build.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hopefully people make it to the end lol

[@Crumb_Trails]

I really thought about needs vs wants. In January I'll be almost 1 year with the Bronco and I'm doing the suspension. I just got to soft with the weight I carry. My BDV had seen a lot of use up on my Trailrax. Soon I'm going to need self recovery gear. You have been full of great advice since I found your channel. Thank you

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

So glad I could help! Yeah the stock springs are so freakin soft. After a few trip weighed down and seeing how much clearance it ate up, I knew a lift was in my future

[@SpencerHogg]

Bronco’s looking awesome buddy!!! Great work on this vid 🙌

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks my man! To that new wrap on the taco is looking good!

[@204_rc]

I love what you've done with your Bronco!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thank you!

[@tntzimmerman9552]

I recently found your channel and I’m glad I did! Not saying broncos are horrible but watch your realr link mounts and whenever you rotate your tires inspect your frame. Learn from my mistakes.

[@pacificnwaerialviews]

I saw you on I5 near Longview on Friday. Saw the banner and was like nahhh can't be him, then looked in the window it was! I almost waved but I'm sure you would have been like wtf is wrong with this guy lol. Cool, seeing you, youtubers, in the real word. THEY DO EXSIST, lol. See you on the trails hopefully next.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Hahaha yeah, we are real! Dude I have had people chase me down before. As long as you don’t do that we’re good lol

[@chrispark11]

Prices are likely obscene, but I like the headlights, rack, tent, bumper, and winch. Time to go down the rabbit holes.

[@CraigG21]

Great advice 👊

[@monzterevoviii]

Man, would love to meet up sometime and go out on an adventure with you bro, we go all over Washington. 😎💪🏼

[@9x74equals]

Got my Badlands Sasquatch in Bellevue, no serious mods yet but been all over western WA trails. Looking to go out east. Needs a lift and 37 inchers but it stays dirty either way! Your rig sounds mean! Diggin the channel and trails.....!

[@husker_nation]

Don't forget to reinforce the steering rack from 74weld and beefier tierods to support those 37s

[@9x74equals]

[@68mustangman]

Great Bronco. Do you know what your vehicle weight was new versus now?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Oh man, I’m not really sure. There’s about 350 lbs addition sprung weight at all times and I think around 180 lbs of unsprung weight

[@davidaimone5888]

Good Stuff, Any impacts from the rooftop tent regarding MPG and being a little more top heavy and navigating high speed cornering on hwys?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

The BDV had a similar I’ve impact on mpg but the skycamp is a lot better. The real mpg loss was turning those 37s

[@dvsmike]

Fack, i didn't know youtube allowed porn😂 Such a beautiful rig brother!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Just gotta work the loopholes lol. Thanks man!

[@calebruth]

Great build and I appreciate how you do a lot of the wrenching yourself. Your note in an earlier video about the Bronco’s tie rods acting like a fuse gave me a lot of food for thought. It looks like you reinforced your tailgate when you put on the 37s. What did you use for that?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Yeah I did. It is from havoc off road. I had to drill out the holes a little because they were a little off, but the hinges are great on it and I’ve been happy despite the fitment issues

[@thomaslopez2427]

So what did you not like about the RC tie rods exactly? I was thinking about getting those for my Bronco.

[@Ranwei1982]

what air compressor do you use for airing up/down?

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

I've been trying to follow the same problem-solving philosophy on my channel too. Don't buy stuff because it looks good- buy it for it's purpose.

[@guidojt]

Maybe I missed it but what is the weight difference now?

[@jedcsh1]

Having your ear to the ground on the Bronco parts community, do you feel it's necessary to upgrade the hitch hinges or bracket if you want to get a rear gear basket?

[@wheelerthugs]

Bro will this bronco be your overlanding vehicle for upcoming winter too? from that one video that the steering was frozen I hated bronco. anyway so excited for your winter content. waiting all the way from Afghanistan.😊

[@d2schultz]

How is the adaptive cruise control mounted with that front bumper?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

It is relocated to behind the grill

[@tylerb5305]

Hey there! New to the channel and really loving the content that you are putting out! I love the cinematography along with all the knowledge thats present in your videos! I just had a question, I'm looking into a Bronco myself and I was just curious on your thoughts around which model to choose and why you went the modding route vs a trim like the Everglades. I am looking to make a purchase and I'd just love to hear your thoughts! Please reply whenever you have the chance!

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

So I got the badlands with the Sasquatch package. The gearing and 35s were important to me, as well as the front locker and stabilizer bar disconnect. I intended to keep it stock, but as I used it more I found the suspension to be way too soft when loaded for a trip which ate away my ground clearance, which is why I ended up lifting it and going with 37”

[@PROXIMO22]

nice video as always! what gears are you going to run?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Thanks! I’m just gonna run the stock Sasquatch gearing, so 4.7

[@PROXIMO22]

@@OFFTHEGRIND that's rad! i don't know enough about broncos but am learning.

[@raizagonzalezromero5539]

What about the front lights? Where did you get it? Some fog or water inside?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

They’re from Form lighting. I’ve never had any issues with them, no water and no condensation

[@JAG-ALL-EGO]

It would have been nice if you included the cost for each of these mods. Since most of use are not influencers, it would be nice to know what it would cost us to do some of these upgrades. Great and to the point video, but for the rest of us, price is important too.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

Not the point of this video really. Also, that information is readily available online. Also also, not all of the parts were given to me.

[@larrybriggs2920]

I am almost at that point with my Badlands. Towards the end of the video you were going up over a huge boulder. Did your rear passenger tire rub up in the wheel well? I have 37s with stock bilsteins and a collar lift. I imagine you got a bit more lift out of the Dobinsons. L

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

I don’t think it did, but I do have some running issues in the back when the tires are fully tucked

[@robertsherman9090]

For low cell service are you using Weboost?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

No. I have a garmin inreach and Starlink for when I am at camp

[@tmc4988]

KZbin must pay very well because this shit ain’t cheap.

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

No it doesn’t. Most of this stuff was given to me in exchange for content

Great build. Love watching your channel. HMU if you’re ever near AZ

[@BrianHealy]

Do you ever plan on going roofless?

Are you a WashDOT employee as I saw a vacuum truck in the background when you were installing the rack?

[@OFFTHEGRIND]

No. My brother manages a shop that maintains them and we’re able to use it on occasion

[@KapitanPoop]

In some of the frames it looks like you’re running an iKamper Mini…?
