@@mikepfeifer1753 probably will once I get my Raptor R 👹

@@Jay-me7gw I agree, but I cruise at 2300rom on the freeway. The added snap of the regear doesn’t hurt

It’s not just a lift, it’s portal axles. They move the wheel hubs down 4” but the suspension itself is not necessarily lifted. It’s probably $10-15k if I had to guess

@@scottneal2738 I think there will be other companies that will do fiberglass. I am looking for more of just an oem style flare

3.9” of lift plus 2” of lift from the 37’s is 6”

I've convinced 7 people to date...no complaints yet

@@74weld will have to figure out shipping to Europe then 😉

Fair. Will do. We have some good video of it wheeling rocks we will drop soon. She’s a fun one

But the tire isn’t going to “stuff” because the Portals are like running a spacer on top of the shock in terms of where the tire sits in the wheel travel. The 2” larger radius of the 37” tire is offset by the 3.9” of portals lift, so the top of the 37” tire will be 2” farther away from the wheel well when stuffed vs stock.

These aren’t chrome. They are raw machined aluminum. We leave them raw and give you the option of making them whatever color you want. We aren’t getting thousands of these to offering multiple colors just isn’t in the cards right now.

We are working to make that happen. It’s in design right now

You aren’t wrong. I do like the 37 though. I have 38x13.5’s on my Bronco and after driving this more I want to step down to a 37x12.5. It just handles better

@@soloked biggest tire you can run without cutting…stock 33’s. I have a friend running 35’s on his and he still had to trim

@@74weld Even with Portals?

@@soloked with portals you can fit a 37 no problem but you will have to trim sheet metal on the front fender to clear when turning.

@@74weld amazing. Those wheels look just right with the 37s. Would love to see more raw footage of your offroad adventures.

@@freedompanda9438 😂 two things…I don’t script anything, and while I totally see it when you point it out, I literally never once thought about it and also never even noticed. You ain’t wrong. Noted

@@bladimirgenoves1080 not currently

@@phantp78 yes, no. The Bronco and Ranger have zero room up front for a car winch. I’m not popular for saying this but I never carry a spare. Between the gluetread kit and and a compressor I can fix any flat and since I went to 37’s a spare won’t fit under the bed anyways…so I am making a winch mount that will bolt into the rear.

I’ve never found an aftermarket bumper I like other than the ones AEV makes. The issue is the manufacturing of them. The OEM forms their product and the aftermarket bends them with a press brake. Two very different manufacturing processes with very different results. I too wish there were better OEM looking options out there but I don’t see it happening because the process is extremely expensive to tool up.

@@ultra4suzukisamurai679 I think the watts link is one of the best things on the Ranger. I hate the way OEM’s are setting up panhard bars these days, but I hate a rear panhard bar on an IFS. The watts link won’t get as much travel as say the bronco rear, but I’ll give up travel all day for the far superior feel of the watts link. I’d still rather have a true 4 link but the only way you are getting that is to ditch the spare and move the gas tank behind the rear axle. Ford meant this truck to be more desert focused and so a body mounted step makes sense. I just see it as so versatile I wanted to at least be able to take it through some moderate rock trails so changing the body mount to a frame mount was a must

@@Troothless didn’t lose you that much…you still dropped a comment 😜I do believe that. Not associated with any OEM, I own Jeep, Toyota, Ram, Ford and like them all. This is just a phenomenal truck

@@nopenotme999 thankfully someone mentioned that to me. I bought them and installed them a few weeks ago. I still think I am going to try to tie the GFC into the bed and run additional stiffness or mounts to the frame because the truck straight rallies hard!

@@awpel2 about 13mpg

@@tiny_the_200 did a 4 day trip from Montana to Oregon in this truck with some of the guys from MKC. I’ve been a fan of their stuff for years! Great bunch of dudes who make badass products. Made in 🇺🇸

@@scottstaniewicz688 damn…good question. I haven’t measured. Should like we need to do a quick measurement video. I’ll shoot that next weeks. Thanks

@@BaconCruiser it’s super fun. It handles much better than the Bronco and Bronco Raptor because the watts link is so planted and compliant on the road. The truck feels very flat in corners.

@@johnmorales9584 yes. None of that stuff is impacted.

@@jessnevares7861 we are working on them…likely a 4th quarter release. We notify our mailing list and always try to give them early access to these things. You can sign up through our site.

Roger that

Interesting take. A few comments I would make. Never allow your history to dictate your future. Just because someone had problems doesn’t mean they will forever have them. And just because someone was reliable doesn’t mean they always will be. What I will say as someone who talks with both Ford and Toyota, Ford is very committed to being the leader in offroad. From new platforms, to racing, to development, ford is pretty committed. I give them credit for that and my observation is they are emerging as the company to beat in offroad.

So who's quality has been superb lately @Mike-In-O-Town ? Toyota who has been regarded as the king of reliability is recalling 100k engines. I also think you misunderstand the pricing on this truck and it's use case. It's not meant to wheel the Rubicon, not every offroader is. Just like your Wrangler could out wheel it in the most technical obstacles. This would outdo that Wrangler in every other off-road metric.

@@74weld A bit more background information. I own a site development company and rotate out trucks every couple years. The Ford trucks we've bought over the past half dozen years have been little more than service department fixtures. Add that to my friends soccer mom F150's who have had more recalls and warranty issues than an old 2001 F150 I still own, and the trend in lack of quality seems clear. All the manufacturers (including Toyota with the new Tundra) seem to be struggling with quality or workmanship issues. When I'm forking out over $100k every couple years on trucks, I expect better. My personal 2016 F250 has almost 250k miles on it and its been a joy to own, so Ford 'can' build quality if they choose to.

@@jmo0311 I picked on Ford with my comments, I did not say Ford's competitors were any better at quality. It depresses the hell out of me that virtually all manufacturers (including Toyota) are struggling with quality of workmanship issues, while they're also jacking up pricing. Essentially pay more and get less. Oh, and short of driving on the highway or camping 'in it', I'll put my purpose built Wrangler up against that Ranger any day of the week and twice on Sunday. But it wouldn't be a fair fight given virtually every piece/part of my Wrangler has been modded or replaced over the past half dozen years.

@@Mike-In-O-Town can’t argue with that. I think as a society we have lost a crucial element of pride in our work! Do what you love and it shows in the product. I think we could all benefit from taking more pride what we produce. It makes for happier lives and superior products!
