I use the midland MXT275 (15 watts - they have a 50 watt version as well) with the 6bd antenna fender mounted on my JL and have no problem hitting repeaters 40 - 50 miles away with a good line of sight. It has a swr of 1.03 to 1.07 across the band and transmits well with or without a good ground...
Super secret organic MIC top 2.0 filler that has become sentient and was reconnoitering your garage for colonization.
Be very careful, as it is only pretending to be an inert piece of material and may be hostile...
The 2 door really depends on the local roads. I run mine @ 80 on the freeway daily and it's solid as a rock. But I have great roads. If you have a lot of expansion seams or just consistently rough roads in general it can be quite skittish because of the SFA & short wheel base - the Bronco will...
So far it hasn't even been mentioned - neither has the Motor Trend article.
Honestly, there are a few salty guys over there that can't stand the idea of something being competitive with the Wrangler - God forbid their choice isn't the only correct one - but for the most part, Wrangler owners are...
Yep, you're dead on. I paid almost as much for my JL as I did for my Audi A4 - and I expected similar quality, with reasonable caveats. The interior will feel 'tougher' as it's meant to stand up to open air conditions, the ride won't feel like a lux SUV and certainly not like a sports sedan. Of...
This is where the real rubber meets the road. Yes, a percentage of Bronco's have issues (I'm leaving the mic out the equation for the moment) - I've seen several reviews of shaky grab handles, rattling windows, electronic glitches etc. There are also a good percentage with zero issues as well...
I do call into question only 'airing down' to 30psi - what's the point? Need to drop to at least 20psi to make a difference. And I think it would have helped the Bronco more in increased traction.
The thing is, every 'disparagement' in the article of the Bronco has been posted in this forum...
A few years back, I was at the staging area for a century bike ride when an SUV with two Pinarello Dogma's on the roof had a brain fart and turned into the parking garage. The crunch was heartbreaking. One only snapped the forks in two, the other broke at the head tube - bye bye frame.
The guy...
Seriously, it's a super helpful feature - but please, please use it sparingly.
I have been on too many trails lately that are so beat up that it drains all the enjoyment out of the run. Case in point: Schnebly hill in Sedona. 10 years ago any stock 2 wheel drive could have easily run the trail...
Paid under 35K and have a top that's impervious to the elements and removable by one person.
The Wrangler was the target for the Bronco, so yeah, they should be able to manufacture viable top in that price range.
these mic top photos always put this image in my mind...
Damn straight!
It's not how you get into the wild - it's the fact that you've made the effort.
There's plenty of space out there for both of these icons...
Let's also throw in the fact that while lockers are a fantastic piece of equipment, the actual need for them is overrated.
He who shall not be named (JL forum members know who I'm talking about) has a great video of a bone stock 2 door sport with open diffs and street tires going over some...
I've only seen one here in Vegas and it was a quickie. Waiting in the Cane's drive through and a cactus grey hard top zipped by on the main road. Snapped my head around so fast trying to get a good look at it, I freaked my wife out. Saw it for all of 5 seconds and it was gone...
I'm still not...
I saw this on the JL forum and had to pass it on. It's not just a Bronco thing - This guy drove 17 hours from Florida to Chapman in PA because of the quality of the dealer and the deal he was able to get.
This kind of customer satisfaction is beyond any advertising - the experience will stay...
Could've been an honest mistake....however, the idea that you were told to make a decision on alternatives within two days gives me pause - why the rush? Just all seems a little questionable...
I hear Wranglers are pretty good....😎
Seriously, it's odd you've received a vin but suddenly it can't be produced. Did they just figure out the MY21 production cutoff and you ended up without a chair when the music stopped. And make a decision in two days or your just SOL? Darn crappy treatment...
They've got a red Wildtrak marked up from $58K to $98K
Jesus wept. Throwing out ADM's almost equal to or even more than MSRP. What a shyster. This guy would steal a kid's lollipop and try to sell it back to them.
It's funny how a vehicle can effect you. I've had several that I truly loved - the 10 year old, beat to shit '79 Bronco I had in H.S., my '04 Audi A4 V6 Quattro, and now my '20 2 door JL. 15 months on and I still feel anticipation every morning as I head to the garage to get in it. It gives me a...
