  1. Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

    I don't think I've ever driven a stick anything with more than 200hp lol. I would LOVE to get a chance to try it in a mustang or a hellcat challenger or a vette.
  2. Anyone still on the fence without knowing final price and test driving?

    I don't want to crush your hopes and dreams, and I do hope that the Bronco has good mileage. But, I suspect, that this is not one of those vehicles you buy with economy as your first motive. Perhaps take a look at the Sport? It seems to be a little bit more economically friendly.
  3. Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

    Don't feel too bad. My folks made me take my drivers test with our stick shift vehicle when we had a perfectly good automatic at home too lol. I've taught a lot of people to drive manuals in my old jeeps. Put 'er in low range and its hard to really screw anything up. Except one girl who...
  4. Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

    But you have a torque converter, which helps a ton, and no clutch to fuss with. I had assumed the automatic would only be marginally faster than the stick. Thanks for putting the numbers to it. All things considered, both the stick and the auto are slow as F in low range for factory...
  5. When will Bronco become a real threat to Jeep?

    I wouldn't say I'm a hardcore rockcrawler, but I have spent a lot of time around people who are. And honestly anybody who is a hardcore crawler guy is building their own rig anyways. The wrangler rubi (in my opinion) is not a rockcrawler in any sense of the word of what actual rockcrawling is...
  6. Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

    This comment reminded me of another reason I generally prefer the automatic. I've been on some ugly off camber trails before, and if it's wet or snowy, sometimes your ass end likes to try and slide you down a cliff. When you feel the slide and get yourself stopped, it's generally inadvisable...
  7. Crawler gear in Bronco explained by Engineering Explained

    That was a clear, concise, well delivered video. Excellent. On the flip side though, doesn't an automatics torque converter add some sort of theoretical additional crawl ratio? I would imagine when you get down to it, the auto crawls only a bit faster than the manual. 95:1 is phenomenal in a...
  8. What do all of us future Bronco owners do for a living?

    Business Development Manager for the West Coast for a company that produces manufactured goods. Haven't been on an airplane since mid march. Feels very strange.
  9. Curb Weight of new 2021 Bronco Published

    we buyin' 10k winches boys and girls
  10. Black and brown leather seat freaks. Filson might have something for the Bronco

    Seattle based company (I actually sold them their pallet rack for their SeaTac facility years ago when I lived up there) My dad still wears some filson clothes he bought in the 80s that are holding up. I have a few pieces of their clothing (jackets, hats) and they're exceptionally well made...
  11. Ford confirms folded rear seats will have slight incline and 4" step up from cargo floor

    You'd have to take the spare off the back then. Hefting a 33" or 35" tire up from a flat position is not something your average person is going to want to try and do.
  12. What song / music will you be playing in first drive of your Bronco?

    Elbow deep inside the borderline. Good choice. Tool kicks ass.
  13. What song / music will you be playing in first drive of your Bronco?

    That's way more rediculous than my absurd pirate metal. I approve.
  14. What song / music will you be playing in first drive of your Bronco?

    I'm gonna go with this: or this: The sheer absurdity of some fool blasting ridiculous pirate metal out of a vehicle that noone has really seen before. I think the opportunity must be grasped. Edit, maybe this:
  15. 2021 Bronco on factory 2" inch lift kit + 37" tires. Doors and top removed

    Hey I aplogize, I had a couple cocktails last night and my mouth got the better of my brain.
  16. What do all of us future Bronco owners do for a living?

    Business Development Manager for a manufacturer. I take care of all of our distribution business on the West Coast. Usually on the road 3-4 days a week. Wuhan has shut that down since March.
  17. 2021 Bronco on factory 2" inch lift kit + 37" tires. Doors and top removed

    Apologies. I didn't mean to cause any disturbance. Just not used to taking people seriously who use emojis instead of text. I'll toss a couple bucks to my local school system and make sure to watch my comments in the future. Thanks for the heads up.
  18. 2021 Bronco on factory 2" inch lift kit + 37" tires. Doors and top removed

    Your excessive use of emojis is making my eyes bleed. Aside from that, you insinuated that you could just stick 40s on a factory Bronco and run it. The link you posted above is a guy who has far more time, money, and winning racing history than any of us have. Give me $20m and I'll put 40s on...
  19. 2021 Bronco on factory 2" inch lift kit + 37" tires. Doors and top removed

    You can't "kick Jeep's arse" if your drivetrain explodes. You wanna push 40s on a Dana axle, you're running Dana 60s at a (very conservative) minimum. You can't just put bigger tires on a rig with sufficient clearance and pretend it's all ok. You want to run 40's and offroad them, you're...
  20. What's with the manual trans hype?

    2 offroad rigs before that TJ I spoke about, I had a '79 F150 with a 351m bored .060 over. 35" tires and Aussie lockers front and rear. Bought the damn thing for $2500 as is, and rattle-can painted it black in my driveway with walmart spraypaint. It had the 4spd, and I think first was 7:1(?)...
