Ford Bronco FAILS at Rock Crawling

[@MrC72k]

Combo of inexperience and poor throttle control

[@bobkohl5406]

I love that you are testing the limits and figuring out how to make the new Broncos able to handle the off road roads. I am glad someone has the ability to do so. Hope you are sharing your insights with Ford so they can learn what a true off road rig needs and we can go crawling right out of the show room.

[@mikedsobe]

Good job Thanks for all the work you do Can't wait to see the video of the skid

[@khachaturkazaryan4251]

You deserve all the Bronco in the world if u don't push it u will never find the weak spot. Respect brother when I get my bronco for sure im ordering your parts for it.

[@BroncBustertx]

Thank you! Love what we are doing and the people we’ve met doing this! Had a meeting with Ford Performance two days ago. Hopefully a lot more good to come

[@Just_Joe71]

Like I've said before, you have no business being on those trails with your skill level, but you do have balls.

[@adventureescape1929]

Solid axle swap kit is going to be the final solution. Stock steering rack, tie rod ends, axle shafts, small ring & pinion, non serviceable diff, just too many points to fail.

[@BroncBustertx]

Solid axle swap will never happen with me

[@CarloCoats]

Thank you for making these products! Can't wait for the Shock Skid video.

[@brentsimons3991]

Awesome video, testing, & products. Keep the videos & products coming!

[@fschael]

The solution for the Bronco is to keep you away from it!! Hehehe I'm sorry, I couldn't help my self on that comment. I like the engineering perspective that you're giving to this channel. However, I believe those parts are designed to be the weakest link on the entire system. Meaning that are designed to be broken to avoid further damaged to the steering rack under high stress. What's your thoughts about it?

[@BroncBustertx]

Completely disagree and my testing proves it. The only thing it does is allows me to push it on harder trails that then brakes axle shafts.

[@dirttales]

@@BroncBustertx yea but he is getting at is longevity... Your mod adds bigger parts, more weight, and harder impacts on the internal components of the steering rack. Nothing new for IFS and there have been "solutions" but most people end up with a SAS. You can beef up everything around it and still have a weak steering rack... I'd rather replace a tie rod than replace an entire rack.. It's like 100$ and 10-15min of trail work vs hundreds of dollars and having to be towed away..

[@BroncBustertx]

@@dirttales well again this does nothing to the rack! #1 it’s $200 for a tie rod, #2 it’s 3-6 weeks back ordered, #3 realignment, so no it’s not as easy as $100 and 15 minutes on the trail. Besides Ford Performance is actually looking at carrying it as well. I will agree if you add this part you really want to add my steering bushing as well.

[@justinmackenzie1849]

Jeep guy here who actually cut his IFS out and solid axle swapped his liberty and I like this solution to the tierod issues these Broncos are having. Seems like this with your other rack upgrade and a set of RCV's would make a stout IFS.

[@BroncBustertx]

Yes that’s what we are finding! Thanks for your feedback

[@patrick335i]

VERY good video on the install of the Bronc Brace.

[@WAVE_ZERO]

The biggest issue I saw with this truck is that your tires don’t have enough grip for the weight of the vehicle and how high the center of gravity is. I’m not sure what size yours are, but you need full width tires on a wider beadlock wheel at lower psi. You were crab walking whenever the Bronco would lean.

[@PGXPPR]

Wider tires = less ground pressure

[@SpaceTech54]

Excellent Video - Back-Talkers need to give you support - You know what you're doing - Great Content - we all learn! Thanks

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

I never seen so many Debbie downers on such a quality video. You're putting all your time, money and effort into the R&D. Keep up the quality R&D. I love Wranglers but my God the fan boys love riding that solid axle hard af it's annoying.

[@BroncBustertx]

Thank you! Yeah I’ve learned to ignore the haters! I just tell people you do you and I’ll do me! So far me doing me is working out pretty well! 😂

[@dolivares81]

Well said, I love Jeeps but people’s allegiances can make them blind to other innovations or things done by others. Goes both ways in so many situations, if only we could respect and build up instead of tearing down. With that said I think the Bronco is extremely impressive and really enjoying to see these get put through their paces.

[@TheRottyRanch]

Sweet video thanks for sharing!

[@lespeterson3426]

Well being the impatient person that I am, I did not wait for the Bronco to come out, more than likely going to wait a couple of years before I order one. Instead I bought a Ranger FX4 in 2020, since the Broncos on a Ranger platform, the parts that you designed for your Bronco will they work with the Rangers?

[@BroncBustertx]

I will have the Tie rod BusterBrace available really soon for the Ranger!

[@juanito6147]

Man, you're really brave. I wouldn't dare drive my bronco through those rocks.

[@markcaruana2697]

Sorry about the carnage, on a different topic how do you like the Yokohama geolander mts? I have 37s but haven't had them off-road yet. My only complaint so far is they seem narrow for a 12.5" tire.

[@BroncBustertx]

I absolutely love them I can air down on stock rims are to seven psi completely over and still not pop up a bead

[@reidconnolly6236]

Was that Lite Brite in the purple rig?

[@BroncBustertx]

Yes

[@SoggyTreks]

So when I get my Bronco next year. Pretty sure I am going with an Everglades. Would putting the various enhanced parts help with longevity? I am not going hard core but will be on mountainous terrain from time to time and from the looks of your parts they didn’t seem too beefy. Have you thought about offering a package of driver side passenger side parts and all the others you might recommend to keep the steering shaving free and long lasting on a Bronco with minimum Sasquatch package. I would personally be interested in seeing a list of parts I could put on. I may go first with some coil overs but by the look of it there are a lot of weak points. This is the first channel I have found that really covers possible breakdowns. Thanks!

[@BroncBustertx]

Absolutely sir that is what we’ve done we offer it as a package or we offer each individual piece separately. And of course we are always out testing and looking for better ways to accomplish everything. We have found the fail point is mainly on anything that has been modified but we are finding issues with on modified vehicles as well. Mud is a prime example of where this needs to be done way more than rock crawling. Had a guy with a crack housing end up with his rack full of mud and water

[@chuck7465]

And this is why you never buy a used Bronco.

[@YtRando69]

Because I can buy a new one for what people are selling used for? Everyone is upside down because these are ridiculously overpriced from the get go

[@MarcosPearson-v5v]

My 2 cents. If you want to do really crazy stuff. Trails over 7. Build a jeep. They are just better for the advanced stuff. Unless you like working on your broken Bronco. I own a Bronco, I keep it to 5 trails. This stuff looks like buggy territory. Appreciate your content Tyler.

[@BroncBustertx]

@@BroncBustertx 10R60 automatic transmission. I have friends that work with Ford and said it’s the worst transmission. And now parts are starting to be a pain to get for them. First transmission failure was at 5500 second was at 9800 needless to say she wants something else.

[@BroncBustertx]

@@FollowingtheCliffNotes OK that makes sense that might have a lot to do with some things we’ve experienced already

[@FollowingtheCliffNotes]

@@BroncBustertx they offer a 10R80 for it which is a much more solid transmission. But still has its issues. Wish y’all luck with the parts monster. I’m waiting for Jeep to answer back to the Bronco raptor with a Demon Wrangler.

[@Defyfate11]

Definitely glad you are on this Journey in making the Bronco better, I guess with you its Bullet-Proof...lol. Your approach on hard obstacles is too aggressive. I think with your wifes Bronco you should drive it like most new Bronco owners would drive it and that is following your spotter's advice and finese your way over an obstacle. With your Bronco Buster have at it. This way you show that your products are working with the rest of the Bronco parts and that it does not break down on the trail. Once you have replaced every OEM part and even Aftermarket parts to where you can wheel as aggressively as you do and not break down then Bronco setup will be known as the bullet-proof configuration. lol

I really like seeing the new bronco doing stuff it's a cool vehicle. I'm definitely a jeep guy though but I've always liked broncos. My friends dad had a 79 that was built we used to go out in as kids we'd sit in the back with the top off and it was a blast. Anyways I'm curious if a straight axle swap is something new bronco owners are considering as a possibility to really beef things up and get more articulation or maybe something modern comparable to marlin crawlers ifs kit for the new Toyotas? I'm sure the aftermarket is gonna go nuts with parts for these. I think the body and design of the new bronco is really cool it looks freaking awesome I really like it. After seeing the new raptor bronco or whatever their calling it come out I still think the regular bronco might be a more capable rig when built because it's smaller. As a platform to build off of the only thing I see the raptor possibility having over the standard bronco is supposedly a stronger frame.

Theres no need to try and rock crawl to this degree with a newer vehicle like that. This is old shit jeeps type of crawling.

[@bobkohl5406]

I really love watching these crawling videos but wish you would utilize better safety precautions when winching, IE putting a weighted (5 to 10 lbs.) item like a heavy coat or blanket or even a specially weighted device to deflect the cable in case of it breaking and then flying into a person and doing some very bad damage to a human. The weight will deflect the cable downward protecting any bystanders close enough to get hurt in the event of a cable failure. Also, keeping bystanders, cameramen and anyone at a safe enough distance for protection in case the cable breaks is a safety MUST DO. I have seen cables breaking rip through 4 inch thick, solid steel rack on oilfield trucks and kill people. even a small 3/8" cable can rip through a car engine and kill. Please keep SAFETY as your # 1 concern, then you'll enjoy your trip all the more knowing you did all the right things to keep EVERYONE safe and in one piece. Go forth, crawl and run those off road roads and have a blast. Keep making those videos safely for us all to enjoy with out us old coots getting overly anxious about your well being. HAVE A BLAST!!! One day maybe I can join you, hope so. I would love one last adventure. Wish I still had my ole' '79 Bronco.
