    Ain't nothin. I also had a full size Bronco and it was much harder to see around the hood. The width more than the length.

    Yes, had one too. Of course in that case, the rake didn’t help. Mine was OJ white. My worst hood to see over was my 69 Mustang, but I wasn’t wheeling in that, so it didn’t matter at all.

    Haven't seen the slightest warranty issue in my tech, only warranty issues I've had were with my shocks.

    Actually there is. There's only 4 bolts holding the hood on. :cool:

    Taking the hood off wouldn't do much to increase the visibility, but it would give folks something different to whine about. :rofl:

    Bro should mod. Only serious off-roaders have these attached to the front bumper. Then we’d get to talk about attachment points and which vendor’s powder coat matches the hardware properly.

    Installed a back up camera on my front bumper. 2DE62175-19EB-4855-A614-4BDB3FD9D9FC.jpg
    It utilizes Bluetooth and WiFi to feed the image to your phone. The feed is slow. It’s a fun toy, but I wouldn’t want to depend on it.
    Here’s a photo of the driver’s view through the windshield.
