BRONCO TRAIL DAMAGE! What ALL Did We BREAK?

- Since the ultimate rebuild on our hemi Jeep Wrangler wasn't done in time, we took our Ford Bronco Raptor to the Rubicon Trail for the Jeepers Jamboree! Now although the off road and rock crawling capabilities of our Bronco definitely exceeded our expectations, that doesn't mean it made it off the trail unscathed. So now that we're back home, we walk around the Bronco to show you what all was damaged and broken during our off road adventure!

You two make awesome videos; not only are they informative, but very entertaining as well. The vehicles are beautiful, but no one can deny that Brittany is quite beautiful also. Thank you both for testing these vehicles and posting your findings.
No matter which vehicle you like, it's good to know the limits. Thank you for pushing it! So we don't break them, LOL.
Considering the punishment you put on the bumper, all that broke were the tabs for the fender(and the bumper). LOL Brittney buttoning her lips after Kevin's comment, "There may be a loose nut behind the wheel." Love the channel. Love the content.
Awww that poor expensive Bronco! Now that you've beaten it up on a few hard trails you can plan for the appropriate after markets parts to make it more capable! Happy Trails to all at LBN!
Looking forward to see what aftermarket bumpers you guys go with.
I met you guys the first time you did the rubicon trail. You met me on the Tahoe side at a pizza place after I left you green cholula and fresh socks with hair spray. Love you guys. Thx for always sharing your life !!
Luckily Kevin was wrong and my gift was not ricin or anthrax
We remember! 😁🤙 Hope you’ve been well!
I admire your dedication to breaking things and then showing us how to fix it , I live in Pismo Beach California were we have other issues on the dunes ( mainly dumbass visitors from Bakersfield and Fresno) that don’t respect our laws/rules. Again thank you for the great videos from a 39 year master tech living in SLO. Take care and be safe. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Its amazing how much you can spend on these vehicles and the manufacturer is only going to get you started. I like the fact of Brit and Kevin they just tell you how it is and this works and that won't. Make it or break it. These folks will save you alot of heart ache and you have a choice spend a little more now or a lot later.
It's great to see women enjoying our toys rather than complaining about our hobbies. Thanks for the eye candy! Your a lucky man!
So far I haven’t sustained any damage to my Braptor going to the mall and back. Yes, I’m among the 99% of the people who’ll never do what you are doing with yours… but I like to watch. 😂Keep up the good work guys!
Thanks for the braptor videos. Excited to see more trail riding with it
The belly of that bronco is used to seeing rocks, mud and dirt….
Then Britney crawled underneath it, and that bronco purred like a cat with happiness!
I love the Broncos (I actually own one), but the Raptor is 5,700lbs, probably a thousand more than any other vehicle doing the Rubicon with you. Add a beefier rear bumper and skid plates and it will be over 6,000lbs. It's a great truck but not a great rock crawler. On another note, I have to say I really enjoy the great spotting by Brittny.
It’s electronic steering with a servo… there’s no fluid that gets too hot 😉14:21
I was going to say the same thing. Good catch!
Although, the electric motor could have gotten hot because of the mechanical resistance which would increase the current flow through the motor/electronics.
Thanks again for your honest opinion.
But realistically the only Jeep that the BRaptor can be compared, head to head, side by side, dollar for dollar, to IS the Wrangler 392XR. And even then the 392 is still cheaper.
Good to see you pushing the BRaptor to the limits.
Ford should be taking notes from you!
I'd love to see the bronco done up with a front and rear tubular by Chris.
Loving this long term review. Such an awesome vehicle, with its inherent advantages and flaws. In terms of mods, aim for a ‘capable camper’. You already have a built jeep and buggy. Right tool for the job etc
Bronco would 100% make an incredible overlander.
Good job! I love seeing videos like this addressing real world issues and solutions!
Best offroad vehicle!
Your rear end got hammered!
I hope Ford is watching these videos
Just got out of my first hairy situation in my gladiator about 20 minutes ago. Lost a passenger tail light… but I’m home. OnX for the win.
self clearance option lmao. your yard is so nice!
Glad you made it back safely! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your sharing your honest opinion on the Jeep 392 vs. the Braptor!
Kevin your sooo grounded! On your bumper BAHA!!!! Gold as always. Wuv you guys.
Maybe try a transmission cooler mounted to the radiator and connect it to the power steering tubing. I’m thinking the wheel sensor rings are getting out of sink and it is flashing a code. I’m thinking you should bring a cheap code reader so you know what codes you’re getting and clear it right on the trail so you can communicate it with Ford. Take a picture of the code before you erase it so you don’t forget want it was.
That's a cool idea :) all 3.
I love the style of the Bronco Raptor, but that price tag....... I can't help to wonder what a 2 door version would look like. I always have a hard time deciding between 2 and 4 doors. Being an IT Pro and I'm not surprised that turning it off and on again fixed it 😀
Use some 3M PR40 on that sidewall repair.
Bronco did really well!
At least we know the Bronco Raptor limits now ;) ❤
A Bronco is just a Jeep that drinks Bud Light😊
😂
😂😂😂
your mom drinks bud Light
Agreed
Pud light
I know that when my YJ was new back in '88, it would never have made it on the Rubicon. That's why nothing on it is stock since I built it 25 years ago. That Bronco is impressive. My '93 Bronco is a big girl, even with the pre runner bumpers and suspension, it would be difficult to get through that trail. Great job.
Bumpers? We don need no stinking bumpers! Nice t have y'all back in town. Loose the fender flares (I suppose you have to have them in the rain..). Fuel tank skid (MoPar) on my WK caved in big time, a couple of times. Local welding shop put three 1 inch angle iron bars along the length; reinforced it nicely - no more cave ins! oCuld UHMW be used to make skids? Missed the puppies! LiteBriteNationTruthInBashing!
I really like it when you guys damage your Jeep. Then you guys repair it again. And Chris is putting all the work in.
Two friends of mine in there rigs plus myself and my wife just ran the Rubicon last weekend - wow quite a blast and I just didn't appreciate that it is twenty miles of crawling with zero rest (the whole trail is an obstacle and it never quits), amazing two days. However, it also rained Saturday plus most of that night and it was like wheeling on teflon
The alignment issue is probably calibrating the steering angle sensor back to center. Mine goes off center during fast off-roading in ruts or just tapping a tie rod with a hammer to install my tie-rod braces. F150 electric steering is fairly notorious for this. I marked my alignment and nothing changes but the steering wheel center. It sucks, and I can't find an OBDII programmer that says it can calibrate a Bronco (most newer Fords can be zeroed with a good scanner).
Cue, Chris and peanut!! The real stars of the channel. 😂
I interesting thought, and the first time I have seen this... RUclips wanted to know what I thought of your comment....of course I thought it was funny, informative....my guess is Bud Light was trigger word for a lost lefty
Great Trip!!! I hope I get to make it there someday!!! Seeing you guys a little tipsy was SO GOOD!!! Glad you got back safely!!!
Don’t worry, I’m sure it will buff out
Yep about 10 hours of buffing good as new. 😂
Just a little carnuba wax
Don't superglue the tire. Get some rubber cement. Make sure all the dirt is out first.
Replace the fenders with Sasquatch fenders. It will actually look better and not stick out as far.
Good job 👍
Some guy a few weeks ago gave me the same headache in a roundabout.
See you all next year at Jeepers! love the videos!
I feel like this whole bRaptor series is just a giant ad for the Recon Grapplers. 🤣 I'm honestly sold. Once my Ridge Grapplers wear out I'm going for Recons. That tread looks almost like an RT, anyway. Probably be a better all around tire anyway, since my JLU is also my daily.
You should check out the addictive desert designs off road rear and front winch bumper they are awesome the rear bumper has a spot for lights and anchor points . Check it out . Just trying to help a friend has them on his raptor Bronco. With ridged lights .
Great Job...:)
I was excited to see bronco come back. I loved the bronco and when they announced it I couldn't wait for it. When it came out it's been a HUGE let down. First all the rocker arm breaks, Second the trans has issues for some and if your off road when it breaks ford says they won't help you warranty or not, lastly was seeing you guys take out the rear bumper. I mean we all know that it's bad. In my Jeep I get a notice the sensors are not right and hit the button to turn that off and all is good. After that happened in the bronco you went into limp mode and the question becomes are you even going to make it home? Luckily after you restarted it went good again. These are all things that didn't have to happen. The new generation ford is not living up to my old generation expectations. I watch to see how others do to see if I want one.. and for now I really don't. I used to love ford a lot better than Jeep. Now however my Jeep has A\C, something only fairly recently offered. (some jk and jl models) No issues getting over things even fairly stock. Ford breaks things, shuts down, they may not even honor the warranty (really how is this not a lawsuit? I get control arms but trans is a known issue and a design flaw yet some still have been told they are on their own.), I mean text book on how to kill your brand.
The fact of the matter is Ford is trying to save weight on these vehicles and they know 95% of owners are not taking them off road, so the few people who are will just have to get the heavier bumpers and such to handle the abuse.
The guys over at Bronc Buster just put a set of portals on their Bronco, it's a game changer. You guys will be doing it soon I predict.
They make portals for the Bronco now. Good way to lift an independent suspension.
No one currently makes portals specifically for a Bronco Raptor. 🥲

I just ordered the Foutz raptor rear lower arm frame guards and put Add rear bumper much better then pos ford, also ordered Foutz front skid system as my BRaptor belly looks like yours lol. Thanks for your great video
My truck has the same issue in 4 low going down hill, it throws a check engine code and I think it has to do with the anti-lock breaking system
The reason (most likely) your engine goes into limp mode is because of the intercooler. Drill a small hole about 1/16 in the lowest spot of the elbow coming out of the intercooler as it goes up to the intake. After compressing and cooling large volumes of humid air it tends to condensate and pools in the lowest spot. When you gas’s it a pool of water rushes into the engine. I would search ecoboost weep hole and see if your issues matches those in the search.
Love the raptor, but would be great to have yall actually buy a regular bronco and take it out since everyone can't afford a raptor and see how a regular one would do, plus Kevin has to be the most patient man in the world for saying something and someone jumping in and finishing the conversation. 😅😅
We did do that. 🙂
Aswome video guy's 👍
U guys r amazing.
Love your videos
Take them milk cartons off the side. Put steal fender flares. I bet Chris can make some badass looking one's.
Can you guys list in order of favorite to least favorite all the vehicles you've had for offroad use?
How come you guys are not giving 74Welds portals a try on the StepChild or the Bronco? I’d really like you guys to put that stuff to the test and hear your input.
They don’t make anything for the Braptor and we just put new suspension on the stepchild and portals wouldn’t work for what we’re doing
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Yep, still awesome
Put the stock, non Raptor Bronco flares on.
Maybe?
Not too bad If I do say so. Take care good luck on the repairs
pretty sure it's wide enough lol
maybe smaller or removable fenders and better wheel wells?
Ford needs to have Lite Brite developing !!!!!!!!!!
We don’t wanna develope. Just torture test. 😁
Love the Bronco! 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
I saw y’all on the trail at jeepers. You should’ve stayed and came to Sierra trek.
I have a good video Kevin should do, a driving video ! Went to be in for low. Went to be in for high to went to engage lockers when not to engage lockers that would be good for Kevin.
You guys always show the real of whatever it is you take out to the trails. So this is what the World looks like through Jelly and Peanuts eyes 😂. Thanks for all of your input guys ❤️❤️💯🤙
Great video thank you!
Step Child sighting in PF
Change the fender flairs to attached with industrial velcro.
An 1992 Eddie Barow, Bronco against a 2024 minleial Bronco, would be a fair fight stock.
now I know what to expect when I'm able to ever afford one..... =)
Maybe the wrench sign is a sign of fear.
What about replacing the raptor fender flares with non-raptor fender flares? They are narrower will they fit the body? Until someone comes out with some better fender flares that could possibly give you the clearance you’re looking for without making the stance wider than it already is. Just a thought keep up the great work guys.
What I would like to see is , a 1992 Ford “Eddie Bower” Bronco, same mods/same tires, either follow or lead this Bronco. Bet we would be surprised how well the “Eddie Bower” Bronco would do . But we all would still wonder what to do with the 1992 rear cap.
But Dana rears vs Raptors differential’s,,,,,, please….. and a much stronger T cace shifter “that has no chips” to throw a code, please…
Also...Check the torque on the lower control arm alignment cam bolts, it should be 210 lb-ft. I had my alignment done at Ford and the alignment was perfect, but I checked the torque an it was way low on all four bolts.
Love your vids!! Try looking into your EFT (Electronic Fuel Throttle) for that issue where the car goes into limp mode. I replaced mine and never had that happen again [& hope never to have it again].
Keep up the cool vids in cool awesome places.
It's nice to have deep pockets, don't have to worry about breaking a very expensive ( to me ) vehicle, i look forward to what you going to do next..
Watch the TFL Dodge Hornet roller test at their test centre. You may get the information regarding the electronics and why it dies what it does.
Bronco need new custom rear bumper👍👍👍
At least Ford got the windscreen right 😉🤣😂
Everytime you do a Bronco vid… I am so glad I own a Rubicon…
Why? This thing does everything and is 10x more comfortable on road where you do over 90% of your driving and the trch package is far superior. It's ok to be jealous...
I don’t care how much money I have I could never wheel a new nice vehicle. I would feel too bad messing it up. I only wheel stuff I don’t care if I roll it lol. More power to you guys for wheeling a 100k bronco.
Gotta armor up for the Rubicon
I’m glad y’all bust ‘‘em up so we don’t have to!
A winch and front bumper might be a good upgrade
Foutz has your pivot point skids, and JCR
We get it. It's a good vehicle stock. A lift and bigger tires on a jeep is better. You just said it. 😉 except that one drives better on the highway. Gotcha!
Any plans to bring the Bronco out east a little and see how the Recon Graps do in some mud?
We just put 37" STT Pros on our JLU rubicon diesel because I was done worrying about mud. I really debated an RT like these but mud again was a primary concern.
They aren’t meant for mud at all. No all terrain is. I don’t plan to ever put anything in mud if I can help it. Lol
Looks like your rear tires need replacing. Nice looking bronco
Just keep tearing it up. 😂😂😂😊
Those fender flares look so silly…
Go with the Stealth Bumper!
time for a custom 14 bolt front housing from east coast gear supply lol
I see some fun-haver fenders in y'alls future.
