Where the heck is this line of thought coming from? Sorry, man, this is just silly. Think about it. You are actually saying that the Ford engineers designed the STEERING to be a weak link for safety reasons. There are plenty of things that can break and you can limp out, or get towed out. But...

Well, there is a long answer and a short answer. Short answer is it isn't worth the price you pay. Long answer is the reason it is offered in the first place. Everyone wants a "good deal" when buying a vehicle. The average profit on a new vehicle sale doesn't cover the overhead, so the actual...

Like Larry the Cable guy says.......Now that's funny, I don't care who you are. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

BTW, at Off Roadeo, I got a kick out of using the Turn Assist along with front locker to do a front dig. The guide wanted me to take a certain line that put the one tire way up in the air, but I did a front dig and turned sharp and barely lifted a tire. The Bronco does have a couple cool...

I worked at dealerships for 29 years. I wouldn't do it.

My trail rig is a 1999 2dr XJ with 5" Deaver Jeepspeed springs all around and tuned Walker Evans shocks, with trussed axles, 4.88's and Detroits, 33's, etc, etc. I only hope the Bronco will wheel and go as good as this XJ. I don't think it will, but I'll wait and see. For me, I rarely use this...

Ping him on Fri evenings.....

Nice video. Wheeled everything on Poison Spider numerous times on 33's. A non-SaS Badlands on 33's will do all of that handily. This is a great trail. Fun and very scenic. 37's make a 4dr Bronco look better, but are not needed for this type of wheeling.

Plan to take it the same places I take my Jeep. Want it to be comfortable on rough dirt roads while exploring, want it to be fun hauling ass on dirt roads in the desert, and want it to handle whatever I see and decide I want to stick my nose into. And, I want it to be a nice driving modern daily...

Every vehicle with IFS has the coilovers attached to the LCA. Like side by sides and Trophy Trucks and Class One buggies and Ultra4 cars and....and...and... A coilover is a coilover. :)

So, based on this logic, no vehicle should ever get upgraded with stronger components. Umm....that's far from real world. Driving within the limits of your vehicle, or at least making a good effort to do so, is important. Myself, and many others, will choose to beef up our vehicle components and...

It's the sport of 4 wheeling. It's the enjoyment of the challenge and overcoming and being successful. Just like in many other things that we do. It's like the guy who does tricks with a drone, or jumps off the highest rock into the water, or climbs the hardest mountain, or races anything to...

And what engineering evidence do you have to back up that statement? Lot's of things I'd rather have break than the steering. I agree, if you're breaking tie rods, it's a sign that you need stronger tie rods. Without stronger parts, more finesse is needed, as has been said. I question your...

I'll be looking for new Broncos out there. Seriously doubt I'll have mine by then. I'll be in my yellow XJ. They always need volunteers. And it gives folks something to do that want to do more than sit around. Although, by Fri and the 4400 race I'm ready to sit in front of the Jumbotron and...

Don't mean to get off subject, just when someone mentions KOH I kind of dive into a conversation. Hope no one minds. I raced the very first year, 2008, and six years as a driver, more as a crew chief and pit captain, and 4 years as a tech inspector. Have two KOH podiums and a 4600 National...

Just a technicality, but to be accurate the Bronco has coilovers which are the coil and shock in a single unit, and can or not include the bump stop. Technically, a strut is an integral part of the suspension links, where the shock is combined with a link/links to locate the axle. And yes...

Yep. I'm kind of late to the party, just got involved and decided to order a Bronco a couple months ago. It's cool that the Jeep guys like the Bronco. Part of why I want one is the history, which makes it cool. And, I'm actually more of a Ford guy than a Jeep guy. All of my Jeeps have been XJ's...

Actually, there were no real Broncos at KOH this year. Jason, Loren, and Vaughn had Bronco skins on their previous cars, all three unlimited 4400 class IFS cars. The actual Broncos to run 4600 class didn't get ready in time, so they just had one for display but it didn't race. I think the 4600...

Any vehicle like this with two lockers and 35's is pretty damn capable, regardless of what's above it. I've never been an advocate of the full bodied Jeep on 40's, and so many friends who have done it end up just wishing they had a buggy and left the Jeep for good driving trail rig. You really...

Good perspective. I had a different perspective, though. At Las Vegas I was in a Big Bend, and I was disappointed in how often I had to engage the lockers to get over simple stuff. Even my unlocked daily driver XJ on 30's would have driven right over sections that in the Bronco I had to engage...
