Oh yeah, all permits applied for and received. If you look closely, you can see people enjoying the show from various areas. There is a series of videos he's done, but this is my fav.
If it's just bigger tires/wheels and different suspension parts, that should be a reasonably priced upgrade. We shouldn't be looking at $75k to get this model.
Upside is customers want them (including Jeep customers, who have been begging for years and because of the Bronco, Jeep is apparently developing one), and they're more durable and easier to work on. If you want to compete with Jeep and Jeep is working on one...
On the other hand, I have seen...
All I know is that tire/fender gap - if you're truly interested in competing with the Wrangler Rubicon - should be standard on (at least) the Badlands. My Rubicon has a big gap, and when flexing, it can utilize every inch of space. It ain't for looks.
While this test and the discussion comparing the new Bronco to the Wrangler is fair, given the trim and option levels, the Bronco is clearly meant as an all-around off-roader. The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (which I own) is designed specifically for rock crawling. The Rubicon SHOULD do better on the...
I personally find the Bronco R styling more attractive than the retro production Bronco. If they morphed the R shape into the Bronco Raptor, it would sell BIGTIME.
