I went with some of the faux carbon fiber for these locations. Cleaned up the interior and gave it a much better look. Was never a carbon fiber fan on anything, but as an accent, I think it looks good.

Rent a car for the day... It is a very smooth gravel road off the main pass thru the mountain. Someone showed up in a Mercedes 2 door sports car and another in a rental Mustang when we went.

Go figure- all us 'mid-life crisis' guys leading the charge!!

Well- I was 52 when I got it… and a year later I’m still loving it

I’m further south in VA and have been to Potts a few times pre-COVID. I have heard it has changed a lot and become a lot more challenging. Would like to see some pics!

Seems like a reasonably priced (at $55) and well thought out kit. I'm not sure I would ever need this on the Raptor- I just don't need to go under the hood... but I may buy one for my '75 Bronco that has alot of gremlins!! Thanks for sharing!

Just had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago. The cracking was between the window and the rear door on the driver side- just in the flat area not touching the window. I dont see any difference with the color, but they did forget the liner. As soon as I got it home, I opened the rear hatch and...

Looks great. What size collars front/rear?

I like the JCR design look and almost pulled the trigger before I ended up with a winch bumper- that gives a very similar look.

I'm conflicted on this bumper. Seems very functional. Does it hang down lower than the stock bumper or about the same? How heavy is it compared to stock with the addition of the swing out carrier? With the perch collars I have, my Bronco sits with a 1/2" rake- its perfect at the moment-...

The hitch is certainly not rated for hard hits even with a stretchy recovery rope. A 6,000lb vehicle stuck in the mud would liekly receive a shock load exceeding the weight of the vehicle... Most aftermarket bumpers for these rely on the frame hook bolts which are under the frame and not in...

Any hard pulls on the D-ring mounts? I’m looking at this too, but I’m concerned with the mounting location and distance to the d-ring mount.

I wrestled with what size lift and tire. Decided 40s were just too much and went 38x13.5. Glad I did. Still have power- stopping and going and they don’t look too big to be useful. I bet the Nittos are very close in size to the BFG 39 2.5/2 FMI perch collars

I would probably have To run 0psi to push it in more than an inch…. I have the DV8 trunk box for the ARB, but haven’t picked up a compressor yet. May get a 5th wheel spacer…

My CBI front bumper technically doesn't fit the Raptor. It is closer than it probably should be to the fenders at the outer corner, but sits mostly below it. I think the rear fender is wider just like the front. If the bumper sits below the fenders, you should be fine with them. I just think...
