The Broncbuster looks like a very nice product. But, the REAL solution is Ford specifying the CORRECT part - one that is up to the off road rigors that the Bronco is claimed to have. Besides, the cost of a limited production, machined, multi-piece parts greatly exceeds the production price of a high volume, steel part that would be thicker than the current, thin part.

The problem with adding armor / heavy duty parts is that you are merely moving the failure point. The tie rod reinforcement makes is more likely that next time the ball joint breaks instead. Force has to go somewhere and replacing a tie rod / carrying a spare is way easier on trail than swapping a ball joint- just a caution from personal experience!

Matt has mentioned how lots of modern vehicles still have an access panel like that in the bumper. Unfortunately, it's not designed for yanking on the vehicle, and more often than not the hook is lost or missing from the compartment where it is supposed to be. So he doesn't bother trying to pull from it most of the time.
@PrinceCbass
@PrinceCbass 6 ай бұрын
@@JohnFL It seems that European cars have the access hole and tow hook and the Japanese cars had really sturdy points to tie a vehicle down. We sometimes used these areas as anchor points when pulling a frame square. Now it is sheet metal and plastic. My VW has only plastic except for the front bumper behind the grille and bumper cover. The entire core support is fiber reinforced plastic. The eye hook is probably the strongest point to pull from but only slowly and straight as possible. I also have a rear hitch but most cars do not have that.

As another Bronco owner, I don't recommend it... not unless you're planning on upgrading your steering rack and everything else. You're just passing the breaking point further up the line. My honest recommendation would be to check out having 1-2 spares on hand, and the tools/knowledge to swap one on the trail. Should take 15-20 minutes. Think of it as a fuse, instead of a weak point. 🙂 $20 says the driver had their front lockers on, and you can see there was plenty of throttle with tires spinning. Bumping and jumping is a good way to break things fast. I don't think they knew it was going to jump like that, but when you've got lots of throttle with both lockers on, you're putting yourself in an precarious situation. I try to keep my front lockers off unless they're absolutely necessary, and typically not under heavy throttle or heavy steering. Just to walk up obstacles here and there, and then back to just the rear locker for 90% of trails. As a side note - I am not a "professional" off-roader, and if any experts want to weigh in, please do ❤ However, it's also not my first off-road vehicle. My first was a 79 Bronco 🙂

One thing to note -- not ALL Broncos are created the same. 😏 I have a 2022 Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0 package, which all Wildtraks now have standard. It includes integrated fog lamps, front steel bash plate, plus FOX 2.5-inch Internal Bypass Dampers, the Ford Performance Severe-Duty upgraded steering rack from the Bronco Raptor, upgraded inner and outer tie rods, and a rear sway bar (now included on all Sasquatched Broncos).

It may be different for tail lights but when you replace a headlight you must use gloves. The oil from your fingers will heat up and break the bulb quickly.

you are asking for more expensive / harder to fix parts to fail when you install gadgets like these. the force will go elsewhere and it'll be more of a nightmare to address. let the inexpensive, easy to swap parts fail. there is a reason they are designed like that in the first place.

My 2013 f150 fx4 has 35s and drives down jeep trails with winch guard camper decked system and gear over payload. Got 150,000 miles and just replaced the tie rods for the first time and not because they snapped but just worn out. Everything in my front end is original except 1 cv axle and the 4wd hub failed leaving stuck spinning for thousands of miles just replaced both. Ford should use f150 parts apparently mine have held up well for a it's rig.

@reinach77 my ex used to have a handed down 65 impala she hit a deer with one day going 70. The car still looked like the day it rolled off the assembly line except for the license plate bracket, it got bent by about 15 degrees. I tried fixing it by jacking up the entire car by the license plate bracket, it did not budge. With the car jacked up by the slightly bent front license plate bracket there were then 3 adults who sat on the hood and jumped up and down on the bumper trying to bend i t back. It did not Now here's another story. Before CAFE standards were passed, government did a study to estimate how many deaths would occur because so much weight was shed by replacing steel with plastic and foam. The estimate was about several thousand in the US alone. They deemed this as acceptable collateral damage to help what was then called global warming. The study proved to be mostly correct, slightly lower than actual numbers. Every year thousands Americans still die because of these standards Those who run things used to call people assets, lately they've been calling us liabilities

Just a heads up, scrappy might not mean what you think it means. It's either determined, or not fully put together. This car is clearly put together and you don't seem to mean that the car is determined, so maybe you meant crappy? Or scrap?

When they first announced the new Bronco, 2016 I think, I was all on board. When I discovered it was going to be an independent front suspension I said I'm out. This video shows exactly what I knew would happen. They are prime for a solid axle swap.
