Thoughts on our 2-Door Base after 3 Months

[bodean]

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

THANK YOU! See, was that so hard? And I a lot easier than a long winded video.

Appreciate the review. Enjoy the ride, can’t wait for mine to show up.

solid tip! Will keep in mind for future YouTube reviews that can be a couple paragraphs instead of 30 min video.

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.

Chanel def has me considering Base² it's just that rear locker that has me circling back to BD every time I start the internal debate again.

Great video . I notice you put on Sasquatch wheels and tires but change out your tires so I was wondering why because I am not decide to change out my Sasquatch tires for other 35 tires.

Those were just borrowed, as I was waiting for my wheels to show up. So it wasn't a question of getting rid of them in favor of something else. The Sasquatch tires work very well off-road, I thought. They sling gravel all over the place though, if you have a gravel driveway like I do

I think you can option the rear locker by itself can't you?

He doesn’t have time to watch a video, but he has time to be a troll on forums.
Sounds about right for an internet warrior

It sounds like I have more time than you do, but not that much lol.

just making observations from what I have witnessed from you on this thread.

Nope. Not on the Base at least.

I can see the misunderstanding, especially when I asked the OP for his opinion instead of watching the video, and than thanked him when he gave that opinion.

not on the Base

Not unless you go all in $7,385 for the Sasquatch package. This was one of the main reasons I canceled my reservation.

yup, that's why I keep going back to BD, basically swapping half a squatch for the MGV & Mid which is more in line with my needs.... but I'd easily drop to a base if I could add just the rear locker, which I'm guessing is why they don't offer it lol
