After owning 3 I mean 4 different Jeeps I can attest to the fact that they are fun junk. They are a fortune to keep running and properly maintained. My CJ7 was junk, my 1994 Wrangler was junk, my 2005 Wrangler Unlimited was junk, my Jeep Cherokee was junk. Electrical, rust, transmissions...
I spent most of my running car dealerships and actually owned (partner) a Subaru dealership. I worked ford Ford, Lincoln, Nissan, Porsche Audi, Infinity, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo and others. This is definitely the worst vehicle release I have ever witnessed. If this keeps up I will be forced to go...
Correct. My 1996 Bronco weighed 4500 pounds. It towed 4000 pounds. All of this was pulled around with a 199 Hp 5.0 V8 with 270 lbs of torque. 270 Hp with 310 lbs of torque beats the crap out that and it was just fine with less hp and torque. My 2005 Wrangler weighed in at about 3500 pounds and...
I keep reading about horsepower. My first Mustang GT in 1991 had 225 hp and I used to race Vettes with it. My Jag XKE had 265 hp. My son's new Subaru WRX has 268 hp and is a rocket. My Ford Transit cargo van weighs about 3300 lbs and has 136 hp and I have had over 1500 pounds in it with no...
There are about a million different Bilstein shocks and they all apply to certain situations so without know the ones (by part number) Ford uses there's no way to tell. I installed 4100s on my 2005 Wrangler Unlimited and it was day and night difference. They were were picked for ride quality...
Find a Ziebart shop and bust out the $300 to do the whole rig. Both my 94 and 96 were rust free when I sold them recently. If you just want the frame or frame and floor pan they'll do that too. My 94 had 28 plugs where they drilled and sprayed. The frame, quarters and floors were rust free. The...
I see that they are not trying to attract old farts. They are hoping the younger crowd moves over from Jeep. In order to do that they need MODERN choices. The same reason Lexus went to that horrible front end and pissed off all the old folks. They came right out and said they were looking to...
Most of the people on here should go buy Lincolns. This Bronco is heads and heels above ANY previous Bronco ever offered for choices. Go look at a 70's Bronco. I had one. Milk toast with rattling doors, cheap vinyl and metal interiors and a ride like a buck board. Even the big ones from the...
I am taking my first vacation since 2003! Heading cross country to visit friends and explore from Pennsylvania to Wyoming. I reserved a Big Bend so I could option it up my way and I wanted cloth seats and no mud terrains. If you live in or near the wide open Southwest those big ass noisy 35s...
So I have had a few older Broncos. My question is that since the 2021 is made to get wet what type of materials is it made from. Steel, aluminum etc. One of the big issues with all older Broncos was rust. Anyone know?
