Define best? Normally aspirated or turbo. I want normally aspirated for off road use unless its a diesel. I dont give a f about cloth, vinly or leather I just want a seat that can support me offroad and chasing apexes like a good Recaro. A Porsche turbo V6 in the Cayenne has 435hp. And peak...

How many hours of track time do you have? Ever set up a car for the 24 hrs of Daytona? Sebring?? Aint BS. Yeah if you want go way soft on springs and risk the springs going into coil bind or bottoming out. You can go with bigger bars but then the its a band aid for craptastic suspension...

Anti sway bars should only be used to fine tune the handling of a vehcile and never to control body roll. use the smallest diameter bars possible with multiple adjustments. Big bars are a band aid for a poorly put togther suspesnion. Dave Apker

Really??? Over 400 ftlbs of torque in the diesel in the Wrangler which becomes important as folks add things like bumpers, rock rails and other options to make it mall rated. V6 gas engine in the Wrangler is now hybrid and the I4 turbo is owrthless POS for off road. Never emntioned HD truck...

Bronco is going to need a diesel to compete with JL Wrangler now. New Defender 110 base engine is I4 turbo with 300hp and a V6 puts you in a Defender at close to $80K and its hybrid. Need to see tq and hp curves and not just peak numbers. 4 cylinder turbos internal combustion engines and my...

You really dont want a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator Rubicon or Mojave with the manual transmissions. It has durability issues etc offroad Dave

Put the dog crates and gear in the back and take the collies herding. Hopefully it has been raining for a couple of days so the fields and raods are muddy. Want to christen the inside with some mud with mixed with sheep poop and pee. The worse the weather the better. No I aint paying any ADM...

Just another problem area. Give me a well thought out and tuned suspension with Bilstein or Fox shocks with a quality A?T tire from BFG, Toyo, or Yokohama and a lockable read diff along with a preferably normally aspirated internal combustion powerplant and I buy one. I want one with a...

Price a Defender 100 and with vinyl seats and the I4 turbo it comes out to almost $70K. Friend just purchased a Gladiator Rubicon and got it for well under $10K below invoice. Dave Apker

[ Trailhawk has a LSD rear. And I take a 5.7 pretend hemi over a 2.7turbo anday for my needs. Its the area under the curve. I do fine with the current V6 and 5 spd auto in my 2012 GC. Full frame these days isnt all that is important adn you have no guarantees the new Bronco will come with...

ANd the one big deal breaker for me is if the rear seat doesnt fold flat to haul dog crates! Thats the big one. Need to fit two good sized crates behind the rear seats to haul herding dogs. Dave Apker

Deal breaker no low range available, no skid plates and rock rails, and no lockable rear diff. Other possible deal breakers are turbo charged engines depending on the area under the tq curve and what octane the turbo will run on. I prefer a normally aspairated engine that will run on 87 RON...

Forgot a competitor the Jeep Grand Cherokee. which is also do for a major makeover in 2021. New Grand Cherokee will be based on the POS Afla Romeo Stelvio platform. Previous GC was based on the old ML paltform. And you get a V8 with the GC and it can go any where a current moder 4 Runner can.

Overlap the new Defender.??? Come on. A 110 base model with a vinyl seats and POS I4 turbo prices out at around $70K. I am guessing an oil service at your local Jag/Land Rover stealer will be $300 plus. Also dont forget FCA is itroducing a new 2021 Grand Cherokee based on the craptastic...

Oh Lucas Prince of Darkness. Thats what scares me away from the new Defender. had a buddy in college who had a 72 Spridget and I always waited a few minutes before I left for class for his phonecall. Dave can you comeby and pick me up. Car wont start. Another thing that makes me pause about...

why would anyone trust anything from Google since they are working hand and hand with government that is responsible for the Covid 19?wuhan virus? Dave Apker
