The only reason to get a manual is just because you like manuals and always drive a stick. There is no other reason, in my opinion. An auto is better off road, and you already said why you prefer an auto for in town and traffic. It's a no brainer.
BTW, while the manual has a crawl gear of 6.58...
It will go in a collectors garage and never be driven, and the buyer will hope that in 10 years it will be worth more being the first. Or, maybe he thought it was a super clean, super low mileage early Bronco and he f'd up! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
Thought I would respond since I've been on the negative side. First, I didn't get the idea behind why you did it. Sure, to be first, we all have egos and it's why most of us do stuff that we do, so no problem there. If you simply wanted a rig capable of doing what this will do, then there are...
Unfortunately, he didn't make it better then a Jeep. There are a ton of Jeeps out there with Dana 60's and 40" tires, with better wheel well clearance and better visibility. And, he put full hydro steering on it which severely limits steering feel and accuracy, and with little to no return to...
I do really like the double adjusters, that is very functional and a great way to do it. The arms are adjustable, and can be adjusted without removing the arms. So, pinion angles can be adjusted and the axle can be squared up without removing the arms. Nice.
If there is a bushing on one end, that would take care of nearly all noise and harshness. And, you wouldn't really notice any on normal streets, it would be rougher street and pot holes and dirt roads. Pics don't show both ends of the arms. I would be happy with an arm with some type of good...
Lots of bling there. They are pretty cool looking. I agree, they won't work any better than steel tubing doing the same thing. I think I said this in another thread, but you have to really want the rod ends, rather than bushings. The noise and harshness will be different, though maybe not by...
Hemi conversions in Wranglers (and now Gladiators) is a popular aftermarket conversion, for those who have spare cash to throw around. Guess the factory decided to go ahead and offer one that way, plus they are putting Hemis in everything.
We'll see how many Bronco V8 conversions will happen...
Agree completely. I was able to drive a 4 dr Big Bend 2.3 auto today, my dealer got their factory demo. I was pleasantly surprised by the power and responsiveness. It accelerated crisply off the line, and accelerated quickly in any situation I was in. It felt very good to drive. Confirms that...
Thanks for an honest realistic answer. I don't want a manual, but you manual guys do have the advantage over the auto guys with the lower diff gears in non-squatch Broncos.
How does it drive on the road without the sway bar? This is a big question when looking at BD or basesquatch. In a straight axle Jeep you want that sway bar, but on an IFS Bronco it could be a different story. One of the things I'm really wondering about.
Also, I heard that the sway bar mount...
