It appears to me like there has been equal amounts of bashing in both directions. You are right that the Bronco is most similar to the Wrangler, but they are quite different in many ways...
My opinion is that we will see future Wranglers make changes to respond to the Bronco. Weight...
I am in no rush and going to wait it out because, as of this writing, there is nothing else out there that its closest competitors can match for me... the 4Runner is a known commodity, but it is severely dated in way too many areas. The Wrangler has always peaked my interest, but in comparison...
I originally planned to go for whatever the Gen 3 Raptor was going to turn out to be, but the Bronco was announced and my plans took a change... even though we are dealing with Bronco production issues, I do not want to go through the same process I had to endure for my Raptor... ADM's...
I was thinking similarly... if BD made fog pocket brackets to hold a set of Squadrons to the inside corners, I would most likely go for a pair of Amber SAE's(or Clear SAE's, if preferable... the lens can be changed by the user if they want).
I'm a little bias towards BD because the ones I went with on my truck have been flawless. I could have went with their higher lumen-rated fog pocket kits for my Raptor, but I just wanted to get my feet wet...
For the Bronco I'm looking at the Roof Bar Kit(Linkable XL Sports), A-Pillar...
Ah, yes... for me it is. You may be different. One of the few things I see as a head-scratcher on the Bronco is the absence of defroster/wiper connections if you opt for the soft top, but it is what it is. The original plan was to order both tops, but after the order banks were preparing to open...
Excellent shot! When I attended the "Meet the Bronco" event I totally should have taken more pics. With that said, your photos provided interesting data... knew about the active grill shutters. What I didn't know was there were active shutters in front of the intercooler! I also didn't know that...
Thanks for the link... I'm still going through it, but with limited browsing I still see it as possibly not being an issue, especially in this type of application. How much air cooling is even happening during slow, technical wheeling or rock crawling? I would figure you would be getting more...
That could be the case about it being concept art, but I'm not so sure about a bumper designed similarly would be an issue for at least parking sensors and ACC(as long as the bumper is designed to accept those options). The big question is whether the Broncos has enough space to wedge a...
I've been trying to dig a bit on this little nugget you posted... I wouldn't have thought it was possible, but I'm impressed! If I recall, ARB said they were working on a winch-capable bumper option for the Bronco??? If they can do similar as this Ranger option, SOLD! I'm sure that other...
I want a winch, too, but I think what needs to be clear is that the Bronco can have a winch... the issue for some is our choice of packages and/or options. My vehicle will have 360, ACC, and front/rear parking sensors... these options may pose some functionality issues. The Bronco's direct...
That may be the case, but what about front sensor provisions and if your Bronco has the cameras? Their bumper looks like it positions the winch up higher in front of the grill and may block the front camera view entirely.
I would like to see that, too. So far, that sounds like it may be the...
Many on here have touched on the winch issues in recent past. I would say Ford might have prioritized other things ahead of a winch solution... mainly the 360 view cameras, but also the ACC and front sensors... also turbocharging for more power/efficiency. Its direct competitors do not have to...
I'm one that does appreciate the shared knowledge, but I am not new to tuning. Email tunes have been a thing for quite a bit now. You were stating that tuning today has the ability to mimic the adaptable octane rate capability of a stock tune... if that's the case, then that's a great thing and...
The pic gives a certain perspective... I think it looks ready-2-go. Both front and rear... including the clean and simple look of the rails. ARB claims to have done their homework. I hope that entails making sure the ACC and intercooler works as they should. My only issue is that I do not know...
I'm not going to say I do not believe you, but I will respectfully say that I would need confirmation of that. I can only go on my experiences with tuning and the last vehicle I performed tunes to(about 10 years ago... both on rollers and via e-mail/canned) did not retain the OEM's octane...
Those are good questions, I guess, for some... I figured for the few that are looking for an extreme rock crawler that requires 40+ inches of rubber. I'm not referring to individuals who are doing this for looks, but more for capability.
To Jeep or not to Jeep may become a question for a very...
