That goodyear might be marketed as an M/T but it sure doesn't look like one... It probably isn't any louder than an agressive A/T, and it's siped all over the place, so it should work in the snow and wet. I'd rather have a KO2, because we already know they work well, or a real M/T personally

Are you sure the KO2s are heavy? They are always on the lighter side for a given size. I have no problem with them on wet or damp roads. They do like to pick up little rocks though..

Not sure exactly what you are asking here. Are you asking about the IFS vs SFA and the arc the tire moves through as it articulates or are we talking about bumpers?

The removable bumper ends are to increase your approach angle (think sand dune or rock face) With the IFS on the bronco you won't have as much fore/aft movement of your tire in the wheel well like you would on a jeep 4 link SFA, so getting into the front bumper isn't going to be as big of an...

Exactly, although I'd bet that 4.70 gears are still ok for 37's with the torque profile of the turbo engines and the available transmissions. 37's on a 2 door would be a nice setup.

You're right, we don't know for sure, but since the 2.7 isn't offered in any other product with a manual, the engineering investment is going to be much more expensive than the software tweaks needed to get a 2.3/7MT sasquatch out to the public.

If ford is already offering a 2" kit, and ICON already has a 0-3.5" kit for the ranger, there are going to be plenty of choices.

2.7 manual isn't going to happen. What we need to push for is a manual sasquatch. We know the transmission is already there, and we know it can be paired with 4.70 gears and F/R lockers on the Badlands. VERY small amount of engineering dollars to offer manual sasquatch. We MAY lose the front...

The aftermarket will also have answers. On wranglers, the factory insulation is $500. Hotheads is one of the alternatives and quite a bit cheaper, and a better performing product.. so don't stress too much

We are all speculating at this point, but someone will figure out an easy way to lift these things and regain the 10mm of lost travel the sasquatch had to sacrifice, or come up with a solution to allow the 315's to stuff (different inner fenders, relocate a component, whatever). 35s in the rocks...

You would only lose half of the height difference, 1" lower and 1" more clearance in the wheel well.

great graphic, but fighter jet gray is totally wrong here

Lots of things to love about the 2 door compared to the 2 door jeeps. 50/50 split back seat and enough space behind the seat to put a cooler. Almost always have 3 people when we go wheeling, and this helps with packing.. Pretty hard to get a big cooler in the back seat of a wrangler unless the...

Thanks for knowing my business or reasoning. Here is the quick answer, a nicely loaded gladiator is CHEAPER than a wrangler, has a stronger front axle and bigger brakes than a wrangler, and useful things like aux switches are $500 less than in a wrangler. I can cross shop the two of them with...

I'll bite. Compared to a 2 door Wrangler, you get a 50/50 split rear seat to maximize what you can carry back there. Also, enough room from the seat back to the tailgate to put a hard cooler. Factory Bronco gearing kills jeeps. An engine that makes torque is nice to have too. Standard LED...

Assuming they did a full reset and not just the trip odometer, but out west, 60mph avg gets you run over, maybe the were running 75 and idled for 25 minutes..

Most of that is gearing and an antique transmission. Lots of guys get back to near stock mpg running 35s and 37s after a regear

On a day of wheeling I normally average about 9 in my JK. 15.8 sounds awesome..

The 285's will 100% be fine on a 7.5" wheel, and no additional lift should be needed. The ONLY concern is backspacing on the factory wheel. It might get a little tight with the wider tire, but we won't know that until they are released. If it happens to be an issue, they do make a 255/80 r17...

Logical, unless there is a bronco tax in there too. Jeep loves to do that to people also. The aux switches in a wrangler are about $400 more than they are in the gladiator...
