"no reason to get a V-8"
"The TRX's 110-mph pace at the end of its 12.3-second quarter-mile run is both 13 mph greater than the Raptor's and faster than the Ford can go flat out."...
This actually a factory test rig now? Would be sweet if it forces Fords hand..... (unlikely, I know)

So after all the past "arguments" about how retro the Bronco should be, how do you feel it came out?
Overall I think they got a lot of cues in and it looks good. The only area I don't like is the headlight/grill area,
but the early bronco was a very tough vehicle to modernize, along with...
People actually saddle themselves for 6 years @ close to $600 a month?

Just thinking if I waited to buy a light wreck at some point. Has it been confirmed most of body is definitely alum?
I started MiIG'ing alum recently with a spool, but it's a PIA compared to steel.
So my last 4 Fords, I paid cash. Now none of them were over 30 grand each, so of course that was easier.
Seems like some trade $40-60 grand cars almost every couple years. Maybe I spend too much on my classics,
but I feel poor compared to those guys (and I thought I was in the top 10-15%...
So anyone considering it? Had a 3" on my BII with 33 AP's. It was hard enough to align
that TTB junk the first 15 times, didn't want any part of doing it again after a lift.
Sure would be cheaper than lifting IFS. Wonder if Ford typically leaves enough wiring slack.
One good thing with...
Interesting thread here with kit developed primarily for rock crawling.
Doesn't seem to solve the really long travel issue, but has interesting concepts for
ground clearance and maintaining camber over more of the suspension travel.
Seems to more or less use stock frame points as a beginning...
The public is so pampered, even a long WB mild offroad package has the
ride quality bellyachers all disheveled.

Wait until they have to deal with short wheelbase, 31's (or gasp 33's) , and a susp
package that supposed to...
Even my 2.7 sucks down way more fuel @ 80 vs 65-70. I think the 2.7 would have
to be the min for me, as there is no way I would be not doing a mild lift and tires on it.

Any chance there is going to be more categories or sections? Understood not a whole lot to
talk about technically yet, but here goes.
So what do the F150 EB's guy do about IC's and dirt. I have plenty of rigs I've taken offroad, and plenty
with IC's, but none with both. Even the main trails...
