To each their own. I prefer the looks of a 2 door Bronco or a 2 door Wrangler but the 4 door Wranglers sell like mad around here. So Ford is making both and if it sells, great!
Mud, winter time grime/cinders, pop/coffee stains, mold, and more are really difficult to clean out of carpet, plus it smells as it gets older. I plan on keeping this vehicle as long as I can. I usually hold on to stuff 10-20 years.
I have a 2014 Civic SI 6 speed manual. I can upshift or downshift with the cruise on and it will rev match pretty well. Pushing the clutch all the way to the floor does not cancel the cruise like it does in many other vehicles. It's nice.
I've been wondering if that is why they delayed the build and price. They might be working on a manual squatch so that they can get another one up on Jeep. "Hey look everyone, we listened to our customers and made a change..." kind of thing.
Agreed, I'm a little worried about a dealers trying to screw people out of their Broncos. Seems like a loophole. If that happened to me, I'd go crazy... Really hope not.
Usually if someone is going to steal a car, they bring a roll back or tow truck. Meaning, security systems don't save you. Otherwise, amateurs just break the glass and steal stuff you have inside.
I see your point here. Not sure what would be best. As said above I'd imagine it wouldn't take long to navigate through the settings menu to turn it off. A hot button like traction control would be nice but I wouldn't hold my breath. (hoping for a couple extra buttons that can be user programmed...
The bolts come loose from time to time and they loose air. With my experience with beadlocks in circle track racing, the beadlock wheels loose about 10 pounds of air per week more than a standard racing wheel.
I would guess internal, same as most all manuals anymore. Fewer parts on the assembly line.
I know, I've struggled getting the internal ones to bleed and they aren't as durable but that is the way they all are. Not a deal breaker for me...
They think that the "salt life" is referring to living in the "salt belt". The areas in the middle of the country that get a fair amount of snow but not loads, which means the state covers the roads in salt very heavily in the winter times, making the vehicles rust out bad.
I believe I saw somewhere a company that specializes in LS swaps is wanting to get a hold of the first one that someone LS'd so that they can make a kit. It'll probably be done on a hotrodding/offroading show I'd guess around late '21.
Carburetors are great and I have one on my racecar, but...
