This is essentially the build I settled on. I forwent the nudge bar and roof rack (because I will never have a roof on mine). Mine will be a 7spd manual. I also went with the sandstone - it reminds me a little of the green Wrangler Sahara TJ's back in the day which I always thought were...
Should also mention, if I could, I would fab stuff on my own. Alas, it is not my skill set and my time is best spent doing what I’m good at, so I can pay someone to do what they’re good at.
This is not meant to spur any kind of political discussion but strictly from a domestic economy perspective, how about this list with country of origin. We obviously can’t control where ford sources their engines from but we as the end users have 100% control of the aftermarket dollars. And I...
Good lord. Is the stadium lighting really necessary? Roof, windshield, bumper + headlights? I may be ignorant but what scenario requires this amount of lumens? Seems overkill unless your signaling Batman.
Maybe it was already discussed, I admittedly did not read through the whole thread, but is it possible that the inventory software is linked up to the marketing software and the former automatically populates the latter once it’s on the dealers books? The additional dealer markup could even be...
Seeing what I was looking for. Not a ton of data here but basically 1 in 5 (or slightly less) are being babied. That’s actually more than I expected and certainly way more than Wranglers, let alone most any other mass produced vehicle out there. It indicates a desire/expectation for...
Too many variables to answer. My TJ has a fresh set of the general grabber AT’s, which are the same as your BD. They’re very similar to the BFG KO2’s in tread pattern and depth also. I don’t know how the compounds compare but it does make a difference.
We got about 6” of somewhat wet snow...
I’m under no illusion that I am going to somehow preserve the value in order to sell it some day. It’s not a financial instrument. In fact, I have no plan to ever sell it. It’s a purpose specific vehicle. The bronco is for fun with the kids on sunny days and may very well be given to one of...
Just trying to gauge what the 2nd hand market will look like for these in 3-5 yrs. Probably like the Wrangler. But maybe not given the current scarcity. For me personally it is a low mileage cruiser. It will be garaged and probably never have a top on it. I plan on keeping it basically stock...
I’m thinking about using aux switches for after market seat heaters. Not in the collection? Only coolers? Also thinking about powering an under seat sub with the 30a circuit. How about a speaker?
I ordered a 2 door. I have a 2 and 6 year old. Both in the same 5 point seat in the back of my short wheel base TJ wrangler. It’s not a big deal. I never put a top on it though because it lives in the garage. So I can just reach through the roll bar for buckling. So I second the comment...
