Hello fellow Bronco fam, I am awaiting delivery of my new FE Area 51 Bronco and after having purchased a brand new off-roader back in 2007 (TRD FJ Cruiser) I was impressed with the limited body damage that I sustained as I wheeled it off-road regularly at a nearby creekbed and then at popular...

I believe I will like them better in person as well. With the Area 51 color I think they will blend in quite nice. Thanks for making me feel better about my interior color decision :)

I ordered my 4door FE in Area 51 color with the ugly Navy Blue interior but my decision was to have light colors to reflect the heat in this California desert. Area 51 also will make getting matching body panels an easy task versus getting LB which is a rarity. I plan on beating the hell out of...

That is where FORD would do paint correction to fix in their QC inspection. I hope that it is not needed but that is a possibility instead of delivering a new vehicle that has scratches in the clear coat.

Based on what the Ford Letter states, yes there is no other modifications to the MIC hardtop other than the appearance on the outside of the MIC Hardtop. You better believe that the crappy liner is coming on MIC 2.0, although I believe FORD should have known that this was also an issue with...

My concern left on these MIC rooftops is just the horrible "Free" Hard Top Sound Deadening Headliner. I have heard someone stating that the material is shedding. I am seriously thinking of scraping all that off and adding a more professional material that doesn't shed. Really wish FORD would...

From what I know Simply grounding the parking brake wire to the stereo chassis is all it takes, check out this link: (3) How To Enable Video Playback On Your Car Stereo! Bypass! - YouTube

I am sure that trying to upgrade to the ford 12" will not be a plug and play, but there can be a pigtail made that would make it plug and play just not sure if all the features would work without some modifications. Depending on the successfulness of swapping the 8" for the 12" I would also...

I never quoted that "all" dealers are doing this, but I have seen in my area at both Jeep and Ford have dealerships markups notices. I live in the Fresno County area in California. It could be just that independent dealer that chose not to have markups or on that specific model, there are no...

MRSP will be more than anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 and this will likely be across all automobiles if not in My22 definitely in My23 IMHO. As we are seeing Dealers have done their own markups and I have seen markups as high as $20,000. I believe that we are witnessing a shift in automobile...

First Edition Reservation Holder (7/13) that just got their scheduled production date. I am super EXCITED, just worried that my FE will go through Dirt Mountain Stress testing since October is when the new tops are supposed to finalized. Probably 30 day purgatory :(

Jeep also had the JL frame weld issues that passed through their QC checks. New production line that needed more adjustments prior to go full production and that was pre-covid.

Its common knowledge for those exposed to vehicle off-roading that a SFA can articulate further than any IFS system that is also safe for daily driving. Of course, a factory Rubicon may not be able to demonstrate that to such a degree that would clearly make it obvious but once you add...

Matching the correct OHM in a stereo setup is crucial. I would make sure those speakers match the head stereo unit before making them permanent. Glad someone brought this up and great video, I am ready to upgrade my first edition speakers now :)

Three feet where?

Although SFA has the flex, don't forget that the SFA has less weight pushing down on the front tires. SFA has sprung weight and has a harder time keeping downward pressure to the ground than an IFS vehicle. Used to have an FJ among Jeep enthusiast as friends. Ascending a steep dirt hill from a...

Call me a ford fanboy then, because what I read and how I perceived it was that Ford successfully defended itself from FCA to legitimately use and advertise "Best in Class" the reason why the NAD favored Ford's claims was that it was actually true and yet because the vehicle is not out in...

Me, I am going for 37" once the factory 35" wear out. Range is important to me as well. Although large rolling mass requires more grunt to get up and going the larger diameter tire on the highway can balance out the wind resistance of a good lift when properly geared. I think I will be getting...

I am looking at 37"s. My FE edition will be fine for me till I have worked my way up to the Rubicon Trail, Fordyce Creek, King of Hammers. Until then 4-wheeling around my local area is perfect! I am sure that the aftermarket will come up with some great 2.5-3.5" coil-overs that will lift and...

This statement to me is only true for the hardcore rock crawling scenario where max articulation is required to transverse rock gardens that full of extreme rock boulders. Other than that a lifted IFS with 33" or bigger, rock sliders, and some skid plates can take you through most terrains. So...
