My Badlands build will actually end up being less between price protection and my preference for the Capable bumper. Also glad to see Eruption Green as a no-cost metallic.
RTI numbers are kinda like chassis dyno numbers. They're interesting to have but unless you're comparing back to back on the same piece of equipment comparisons between results are really just for reference only.
I did a build and price again on a Gladiator and a Wrangler after Granger's post this morning. The Colorado ZR2 was also on my list before the Bronco was officially announced. The Ranger Raptor could come into play as well depending on its timing versus my options on the Bronco.
I'm honestly not sure where I stand on staying in the Bronco waiting game if things play out this way. If it's '23, '24, '25 before my number gets pulled....
I'll wait for my turn to have a chat with Granger and go from there I guess.
I just want the mod tops brought back as a late availability MY22 option 🤷🏼♂️. If they can work out an MIC 2.0 within a running model year I don't see why they can't bring that back sooner than MY23.
Otherwise, I'll just be Code 99ing unless it looks absolutely certain the Eruption Green will...
What question is there? They added Hot Pepper and Eruption Green. Rapid Red and Antimatter Blue are going away. Lightning Blue was an FE only color for 21 so it's gone as well. Code Orange will be the new exclusive color but to the Raptor this time.
We're interchanging "axle" and "differential" a lot here. The M190 and M210s are "differentials". The "axles" on a Jeep would be the splined bars spinning within the axle tubes between the differential and the hubs. On the Bronco, being IFS and technically "half shafts", they're in open air and...
By the sampling here which is geared towards the enthusiast crowd which is more likely to lean towards the more unique colors and expensive trims/options. The real world plebian crowd is going to go heavy on the whites, silvers, grays and blacks like they do any other vehicle.
37's aren't factory (yet) so what does Ford need to look in to? Once you start modifying things you're taking the possibility of breaking other things into your own hands. We now know, because a few have found the limits, that upgraded tie rod ends should be on the list of prerequisites if...
Not a bad looking option. My Badlands will be a '22 that'll come with the Capable bumper which is very similar to the one shown. Now, if they'll just offer an option to not have the "Rough Country" logo cut into it🤔
A fully digital dash is one of the things I'm hoping comes sooner than later. I could handle an analog speedo and tach with a smaller central digital screen as well. But this mishmash on the Bronco is one of the few design choices that really irks me.
Yeah....still do not understand why they chose to go with a gray top but black plastics everywhere else (except for the two trims that get a gray plastic grille which I also am not a fan of). Not really discrepancies just weird artsy fartsy decisions.
Why does every aftermarket off-road bumper have to look like it's doing its best stealth bomber impersonation? So many faceted surfaces🙄. I want a bumper that looks like it could be factory but with better function.
