. Pretty honest comparison https://www.4wheelparts.com/the-dirt/2021-ford-bronco-wildtrak-vs-jeep-wrangler-rubicon/

I do not think the 392 was ever ment to be a Raptor competitor. It was a quick reaction when they thought the V6 HP and Torque would make the Bronco super fast but they misjudge the weight to HP. The 392 is just a wrangler Rubicon with a V8. Jeep does not have anything ment to go after the...

As you are saying the problem with front and rear Locks and part time 4 x 4 if one tire slips they can all slip being locked together. They can help or hinder you depending on the situation. Ice can be the same way early season runs. Swaybar off. Traction control off can be the ticket. I...

Not sure many know this but the manual lets you start the jeep in gear if you stall in low range and that helps you a ton creep up to speed from a stop. Put one foot on the brake (required by the system) and one on the gas.

Sorry for the confusion but I was never saying which is better. Each has their place like saying a mallet is better than a claw hammer. You said that IFS was better at keeping the tires on the ground and that was what I was replying to. :)

The mars rovers use a rocker bogy setup. Wheels tied together to force articulation and provide more strength is a huge benefit when you need stability endurance and strength.

Not sure that means what you think it does. Solid axles articulate better period.

Beat me to it. At high speed independent suspension does better at keeping tires on the ground but slow speed it is far worse. You are far less likely to need to use your lockers on a solid axle rig.

Huge difference with KOH ifs and most IFS trucks is mid engine. KOH rigs need to be mid engine to get travel and be not to wide. SXS have been this setup. If you follow sXS the maveric came out swinging for the RZR. Really long arms even being mid engine ended up failing at KOH being to wide...

Depending on if this was a fluke or not this seems more like a recall than a warrantee issue. I wish the video was not sped up.

So this is two different Broncos that this happened to? Stock SAS tires on one and Nittos on the other or did you swap out tires?

The badlands have the bigger front diff and drivelines than the base. Most vehicles are designed with a magin of error. The Sas tire is a 34.5 x 12.7" real dimensions. The Nittos are 36.8 x13.4. You should be able to just one size on a vehicle ment to be modified without much issue. If the...

Maybe they should say Lift it but NOT BIGGER tires?

Almost all lifts state what size tires you can run with them. Now for the point of this being or not being a warrantee issue I think it depends on what image Ford wants. Yes you have to pay to play, any new year truck is going to have issues. Ford should take this as a learning lesson and fix...

This reminds me of the bent Frames on the gen 1 raptor with the same response from Ford then. 10 out of 14 raptors on one run bent their frames. Ford said they were traveling to fast.

Not to mention Fortune Creek, Liberty and Naches

Zuks are not cheap either anymore but no where near the price of an old Bronco. Man the old Yota look like raisins but just keep going.

Lol, so true. The rig I started with and still hold dear to my heart was a Zuk. They were really good trails rigs. You could get them for around 2K at that time and the lift was mostly pulled off parts and trailer axle perches. Weld on axle perch on top of the axle and do an axle under...

The thought is that as long as you can keep your tires on the ground you keep traction and stability. If you can get your rear tires to the obstacle before coming off the ground it is a perfect score. In the real world that could be a rock or rut but when you watch the tests or are doing it...

Not my data but only thing for a 2dr wrangler I could find was a sport with the stabilizer removed. The JK unlimited was a score of 687 but the new JL unlimited went to 693. In the JK 2dr was 820 want to see what he gets when he tests the 2dr JL. He confirmed in the comments it is going to...
