I have been running 35s on my '79 Bronco with 4" of lift since 2015 and it's just about perfect. Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs w/Kevlar and they're essentially unstoppable within the world of what I do with them.
I also owned and wheeled a 1990 GMC Suburban with 37" Goodyear Military MTR tires...
Looking to get a 4 door Badlands with 2.3L so I can get the manual - and also save the upgrade money from the 2.7/auto combo and put that into creature comfort features.
I feel the argument "having a "big" vehicle with the smaller engine" is really not relevant. As someone has already...
My hope is - that Summer 2021 we are closer back to "normal" and all of our fun summertime events won't be screwed up by stupid COVID... Summer weekends are always pretty busy with events here in Central Iowa.
NOTE: If you like to ride bicycles, go hiking, or get out on the lake, there are...
Granger, Iowa = Broncotown, USA :D
I am the president of the Iowa Jeep Club, based out of Central Iowa. We meet monthly in Ames, Iowa, have our own club private offroad playground in Cambridge, Iowa, and we host many events throughout the year from simple "Go Topless Day" fun runs, parade...
It's nice seeing the high quality pictures of the "gadget rail" and the light pod area and in general the Bronco cleaned up in a city environment.
Thanks for the pictures! I hope the video works out ;)
This is awesome. The video of the gentleman explaining the slide out tailgate feature make me want that even more. In the long run that will be SO practical to have.
I am curious what this little guy is poking up here...
Ok I guess I have expected all these things as normal. So no news to me... as others have said, if you get in writing that your deposit is refundable, no big deal IMO.
I was a relatively early reservation so if I receive during summer, all is normal in my book.
I get there are unknowns. But can you provide a bit more of an idea of what YOU foresee happening? Because what you say here in your quote seems like it shouldn’t be too far off...
Nothing like a good 'ol Solid Axle vs. IFS debate :ROFLMAO: My goal here is not to say that IFS is better than solid axles or vice versa. My point is that IFS can have some advantages, even in rock crawling!
For reference, I wheel this, so I know damn well how good solid axles are:
In...
I intend to update my grades as we learn new information and as Ford reacts / makes changes / improvements. See what was added to post #1:
Engineering B+
EDIT: 8/10 - I'm bumping this score up to a B+ due to the clear demonstration of real-world testing in extreme environments. They are...
You're welcome! And man you're spot on.
I've been to Moab 4 times and it always leaves me in awe.
Also, yes - Ford has some interesting opportunities in the future with their Sync 4 platform and the way it's set up to handle off road / enthusiast media. Could really differentiate themselves...
Yes - this is awesome.
Although I don't believe it will be an option or anything. OEMs take employee safety VERY seriously, and I bet they installed it specifically for this rig to test more of the extreme stuff.
HOWEVER - the fact they did it in a nearly stock production vehicle w/o major...
Just finished watching the videos myself - this is very impressive. What was just amazing was the Escalator video in the 2nd half where the guy literally backed all the way up escalator part time on 3 wheels.
Damn.
I'd like to point out one thing I haven't seen discussed relative to this...
My. God.
I told myself that this feature would never matter to me but damn that could actually be relevant...
Just like having independent brake controls on a tractor.
