Raptor Bronco reveal. Photographs well, but will it survive real driving?

Wonder if it’s got that Stupid fuel pump switch on the pass. side kickpanel. The one I grew to hate on my Ranger before discarding.

 

Watching this video makes me wonder how our trucks would fair with side impacts and hitting a pole with rock sliders?

 

well it can go 1 of 2 ways:

1) changes nothing. since the steel is still soft enough to bend.
2) might influence rolling into the pole. where the slider resists bending, but due to their low location on the truck, the cab and everything above will start to torque over/ roll over into the post due to the momentum of the crash.

 

Im not concerned. Didn't one of us rollover on flat ground?

 

only one way to find, ford must send one to my driveway.

shhh, we don’t talk about it

 

Actually we do, quite a bit...just on back channels

 

The sliders will bend, absorbing a great deal of the crash energy and directing it to the frame, away from the cab: http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showpost.php?p=173590&postcount=1045

So yes, sliders are needed for safety especially if you have an Access Cab with no fixed B-pillar

 

thinking of going this route. Has anyone seen it? Not loving the bull bar however its not as aggressive as others.

If you had a stock bumper on you truck, ask yourself, will I use the winch and tow points on this one?
No= go back to a stock bumper
Yes= go for it..

IMO everytime you change or modify your truck it goes down in value.
My truck is worth about $13.54 and that is with tax. lol.

 

I'll give you $45 for it

 

I have yeah. the guy at the Burlington shop i believe still has the matching rear bumper for it as well.
It's more or less what i run atm (SSO slimline) where it's a hybrid/ 2 stage bumper. you can get the low profile, and then pick up high clearance wings afterwards. the issue i have with it (IDK if they changed it) but the precut holes are always there. i think they supply plates to cover them.
IIRC it's also a tab bit lighter. but how good it is in full use, no idea.

that's too rich for my blood....
I'm out of the bid. 42 was my final offer

 

what would you appraise mine then at?

 

if it still has dual brake levers, I'd say its a collectors item

 

, well at least you didn't say I have to pay you to take it.

Yep, still there, does it work? Will find out this upcoming winter wheeling

 

yeah I think it looks sweet with the wings, just not in the budget now. Figured if I want them down the road I can add them in. Good to know about the plates ill ask about that

 

Such a nice guy, not to say, which collectors.

Dual levers = fun^2
