So, I was thinking... One thing I like a LOT better about the OG Bronco is the shape of the wheel arches. The new rounded arches look good with the 35s, but seems to have specifically been developed for those tires. I really prefer the shape of the U100 wheel arches. Because the fenders are...
I have an RTIC as well and it’s awesome. Half the price of Yeti. I can’t figure out why anyone would buy a Yeti unless they just have to have the “coolest” (no pun intended) name brand. I’m certainly not buying a refrigerator. The RTIC keeps ice for like a week.
Just another data point, with a Black Diamond, you certainly don’t need a lift unless you’re planning some pretty hard core wheeling. Stock 32s will do very nicely for moderate off-roading.
Dang, that means they really just don’t like me! ?. On the trim discussion, I started at a Badlands, moved to a Black Diamond, and now looking at Base. I realized with the type of wheeling I’m likely to do, I was essentially spending an extra $10k to get a cool color and heated seats.
Someone tell Ford if they allow mid package on 7MT Black Diamond, they’ll get more money from me. Otherwise, it’s BaseManSquatch all the way. Hell, I even had a passing thought about buying the base with no options (maybe aux switches) and just getting some 32s on Ffiteen52 wheels.
Man, I have two reservations and still no survey email! I feel slighted?
Edit: Yes, looks like they are targeting the high-end trim folks. Black Diamond and Base reservations here.
Who cares if Ford puts the engine in the Bronco. If this engine even exists, it will be available in the Ford racing catalogue for swaps. I’d have to do it that way anyhow, because I’m not driving an automatic Bronco.
My Excursion has 32” BFG A/Ts and looks good to me. It’s way bigger than a Bronco. It’s way bigger than pretty much everything. I think in person, the Broncos will all look pretty good. If you put some 30 x 9.50 M/Ts on a base, it will look pretty cool.
I mean, if you’re just looking for opinions, I’m happy to oblige. Easy call, for the same money the BD is the better choice. MGV is awesome, I like the black grille better than the gray, steelies are rad, and I even prefer the base lights, as they recall the classic look much better. There...
As someone who has been using this for almost 6 years now, I can tell you the only one of these scores I care about at all is the “capabilities and performance” score. The “keeping the driver engaged” score is what the Tesla community calls “nags.” How often does the system interrupt your...
Not to mention that the fact that Jeep and Ford now both make a 2-door version means a nice off-road marketing advantage if the other one stops offering a 2-door model (better breakover, maneuverability, Etc). You can’t be the off-road king if all you offer is a mall-crawler, even if that is...
I have a day one reservation and a Granger October reservation. Since I am now pretty much 100% BaseManSquatch, the Granger reservation is looking like the winner. I’m really hoping they sort this nonsense about having to spend $50k to get heated seats with the 7-speed. I can live with...
So I was curious about the seemingly arbitrary difference in pricing and tried to make some sense of it. I built out a BaseManSquatch, a Black Diamond, a BDManSquatch, and a Badlands. I tried to make them as comparable as possible. I put all the same options on them so the only difference...
Cool thanks. I’d like to have both, but don’t want to get stuck having to cram the awning in the interior since we’re making a trip of it and will have luggage, kid, etc.
Edit: B&P is getting better! Now it’s actually showing me the awning as well. I know it’s just animation, but looks like...
This is exactly the question I came to ask. And for the experts, while we’re talking about rock rails, feel free to opine on the steel modular bumper vs aftermarket as well. This is one of the last questions I have to answer; add rock rails and modular bumper to BaseManSquatch or go aftermarket.
