My wife and I have had our Base Bronco for a little over 3 months now and we've been having a blast with it so far. In this video we sit down, crack open a beer and have a candid discussion of our thoughts on it so far. It might come across as a bit fanboy, as we have a lot of positives to say and not much negative.

Throughout the video we've peppered in some of our off-roading highlights over the first couple months of ownership. You'll find that we're approaching this thing as old school Bronco owners (we have a couple of Early Broncos as well) with more interest in the off-road capability than the on-road manners and creature comforts that most reviewers talk about. We've been investigating just how far off-road you can take a non-Sasquatch Base Bronco, with no lockers and none of the fancy off-road equipment the higher end models have. We did discover early on that the stock Base tires are practically useless off-road (due to their poor ground clearance), which we remedied with a spacer lift and 35's. But otherwise this thing has been surprisingly capable, even in some fairly difficult terrain, without lockers and all the other gadgets.

Nice discussion, thanks!

Also nice to see someone knows how to actually taste beer - pouring it into a glass! Those who suck beer out of a bottle or can really don’t know what beer tastes like.

Thanks! I might be a tad un-refined but I'm not a barbarian :)

Why is everything a 30 minute video, can you not type out you thoughts?

everyone wants to be YouTube stars these days.

ain’t no one got time for that
??? Just look at the time length and ignore anything longer than 29mins.. Typing out "your thoughts" and he will get TLDR “Too Long; Didn’t Read” comments. The videos also let the beer & cigar aficionados chime in so almost everyone is happy. Don't take my opinion too seriously.

as a future base owner, I want to know his thoughts after 3 months, but I don’t want to watch a 30 minute video to know them.

I feel it can be summed up in a couple paragraphs.

but alas, here we are.

So….can I at least get a summary of your thoughts? I honestly want to know what you think after 3 months.

There's pretty much a tl/dr in the first post. But it's a couple of paragraphs long so you probably don't have time to read it. So I'll summarize it further for someone with your attention span:

We love it so far.​

'preciate your feedback :)
