I think the Adv 4 x 4 market is the target. When you know you will stay in 2wd leave the hubs unlocked and pick up some mileage. When not, leave them locked, same result as stock.

The extra weight of the skid plates and the heavier wheels/tires would explain city. The drop in highway doesn't make much sense. Another possible impact is the availability of advanced four wheel drive as that loses the axle disconnect. Manual lockout hubs might be nice for the summer.

In the 90's I was a platoon sergeant in the USMCR, I had an '88 XJ with 29" tires and limited slip rear, later a '96 Explorer Sport with 30's and limited slip. We used those cars for scouting all over Fort McCoy on off-road trails. They obviously weren't the Rubicon but they weren't forest...

At least the front comes with the locker.

Not a hard job DIY but you need the front drive shaft and half shafts. Future project for my BD.

That might not work for the Sasquatch as the Sasquatch flares are different.

Until you have drum brakes in a 1953 Doge M-37. Few people have lived who believed that an M-37 would stop the next time they pressed the brake pedal. When I still had that truck I had a woman sitting impatiently inches from my bumper as I cruised at the maximum permissible continuous cruising...

I'll fix it for you..."That and you got the nostalgia crowd, that like the original Broncos but have no nostalgia for sucky drum brakes, vacuum wipers, leaky windows and a failure-prone three on the tree shifter." (52 myself, I nonetheless wish I would have never sold my '67 back in '92.)

This might be a nice piece for double duty on my ordered Bronco and my HPN BMW.

Effective gearing is nearly identical; The bigger tires will cost a bit of mileage because of the greater rotational inertia but that is likely a fart in the wind with such a small change in size.

Have three tickets for my family Thursday at 4, Looking forward to it!

Nothing, my BD 32" tires with a rear locker are perfect for my needs, and I wouldn't want an ill-handling SFA big tires Wrangler for the 100's to 1000's of highway miles I drive to areas where 4wd is required for short distances for work (job sites, sometimes poorly maintained forest roads). And...

And only a tiny fraction of those 250k are GT3’s.

That could well be it. On my old XJ the disconnect was only on one side and it was at the differential, not the hub.

And Nokia’s 265’s will be better than either on snow covered roads

No. First car was a ‘67 Bronco, 3 on the tree. 3 on the tree should be included in the heritage package, along with drum brakes and no power steering...

I voted 2.7 MT, but honestly, before I knew the 2.3 was the only choice I was torn between the 6 and the 4. I think back to when my father had a V6 A4 5M and my now wife had the same car with the 1.8T, and how the lesser weight of the 1.8T made for a more dynamic package. I know the Bronco is a...

Sipping Scotch, wondering if I will drop the $1800 plus CV’s and a driveshaft to put an M210 locker in my future BD that I want but probably won’t need.

Daily driver/work vehicle

No. I really liked it before, dislike it now. Very uncool that the design changed after orders were placed. Yes, I know I can change my order. It is a pain in the ass.
