I have a 24 Big Bend with the mid package. Base/Big Bend are really all the Bronco most folks need. I know some folks are going to disagree with me here, but, you really don't need lifts and 37s to take the kids to soccer practice or pick up groceries. You certainly don't need swaybar...
Thanks. I feel like for my 4.46 gears, the 33s are probably the right size for my needs. The stockers are 32s so not much difference really. I plan for a light load range, I don't need a heavy, durable offroad oriented tire, just something slightly more aggressive, and a bit better in snowy...
Confidence. I take my BB on fireroads and occassionally have hit some ruts that made me desire more traction. I got past them with my Duelers, but I'd prefer a bit more. Eventually, I plan on some Firestone destinations or general grabbers in 285/70/r17.
I have a buddy who's owned several jeeps, both unlimited and gladiators. He thinks my Bronco is more comfortable to drive and ride in. he's mentioned wanting a Bronco but that's not the vehicle he needs presently.
It is, I am commenting that it would make sense imo to deploy across the lineup. As far as the Scrambler, I'd offer that in all the same trims that the Wranglers and Gladiators come in. Regardless, even if it's just the Scrambler, IFS simply makes more sense for anything other than rock...
IFS makes more sense for just about everything other than crawling. I think the smart play would be IFS in the sport and saharas; SFA for Willys and Rubicons. Buyer choice is always a good thing.
I just checked the configurator. You'll have to pay the same fee for a painted hard top; OBX comes with softtop standard. it does come with the heated seats, while you'd have to spec that in the badlands for 1600.
That said, a non SAS badlands will come with 4.46 gears (assuming automatic)...
Sounds like Badlands might be a better pick for you as opposed to outer banks. it will already come with a lift with or without SAS. I think you can now get color matched tops on Badlands and heated seats. Heck, I have heated seats in my big bend. You could easily pull the crashbars and...
