UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

[UNBROKEN]

curious to know what these do. Are they worth it ? Will they improve the ride / handling?

They will help keep the suspension geometry in shape on a hard launch for sure. The bushing in the oem link is soft as hell and I think that’s where some of my wheel hop is coming from.

Upgraded toe links and vertical links were key to helping my buddy's S550 GT tame the wheel hop. Maybe Steeda will get cracking on those as well.

I think everyone knows these things get crazy hot under the hood. I don’t like it so I wanna vent some of that heat out. After a lot of searching I settled on vents from a newer Jeep. It looks like they’ll fit the hood well in both shape and size. Placement will be something like the first pic.
I started modding the vents today. Sanded the mopar logo off and drilled 1/2” holes around the sides. The thought is to still let heat out but retain the water drain which will drop out right on top of the strut tower and not on anything important. It’ll be at least a few weeks before I find the time to finish them up.

Now that is a mod that I can definitely appreciate. Also notice folks in the back how he's considered where the inevitable water will end up. Also notice how the current placement is far enough away from the windshield to avoid the high pressure area at the base. All things to be considered for a well-designed mod.

Very cool and well thought out.

I was looking at some hood vents from Verus Engineering that seemed like good quality and you can buy the rain guard kit from them as well. Here’s a link.

I’m a no on the stamped steel vents. I don’t want to stare at a bunch of bolt heads every time I drive. I always go for a more oem look.

When you're done, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would happily Venmo you some $$$ for a template or placement measurements. Every time I see a Durango or Grand Cherokee SRT I've wished Ford would've included a nice looking vent like these.

How are you planning to mount the Jeep vents?

 

[UNBROKEN]

3M VHB like always.

And now you need to re-install the roof rack to add to the black accents

No new build stuff but I just got home from a 9 day, 11 state road trip to see friends and do Hot Rod Power Tour…did 3000+ miles and had an absolute blast. Didn’t take hardly any pics…was too busy enjoying the drive with close to 6000 other idiots that decided to spend a week cruising around the country. lol View attachment 13010 View attachment 13011 View attachment 13012

Is it just the light hitting your grill or is your Ford Emblem gone or just totall blacked out. Dont see the ST one either. Apologies if I missed this anywhere along the way. I REALLY want mine to look that clean and emblem free.

The Ford oval is there. The ST emblem is gone…just a matte black ST inlay for a front emblem right on the grille.

Forgive me. Anychance you have a picture of it laying around? It looks great from a far. Curious what it looks like up close.
The ST emblem is gone, but an inlay for the front emblem right on the grill is confusing me a bit.

Got the FenFab toe links in today along with a still “secret” rear diff brace I’m testing. No pics of that but here’s the toe links. The oem bushing is soft as hot butter…I hope the firmer bushing there will help eliminate the wheel hop I get on really hard launches.

 

[STupidExplorer]

Keep us in the loop on this“secret” rear diff brace! Also I'd love to hear how the firmer bushings workout with the wheel hop issue.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Also finally wrapped this little trim piece since the Chinese guys haven’t made any silver ones.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Screw it…I like giant brakes. lol
I’m doing the drilled rotors…not the slotted ones.

Parts are at the anodizer now. The mfg wants to wait so people see the finished product. Mine is raw aluminum…which is a hint that this isn’t like anything else out there. lol
