Being legal and being shady are not mutually exclusive, it can be both. The fault, as in unethical behavior here, is in taking a reservation and order and marking it up on the reservation and order holder. There was from the beginning the implication and implied statements from Ford that...

Pads can reduce braking distances, but as I noted above, there are always compromises. Pads can grab harder due to formulation, but they tend to sacrifice themselves and the rotors faster in the process It helps to understand what the brakes do, which is conversion of kinetic energy to heat...

FWIW, rake exists in these and many other vehicles for a good reason. While traveling at speed the rake exposes flat surfaces to the front view, meaning that it can create down force to counteract the engine bay positive pressure air packing. Leveling kits are for looks.

No, brake dive is a function of the side view of the front control arm mounting points, kingpin, the CG and the wheelbase, among other factors. Hard springs and shock valving can slow the effect, but the geometry is baked in. Suspension design is always a compromise, in this case they accepted...

Gotta beat that dead horse,... right? :ROFLMAO:

Along with changing the angle of the radius arm altering the side view swings arm and the instant centers. Even lifted, the new Bronco is going to be night and day better than and early.

I had the opportunity to be in a Wiltrak 2 door during a full on panic stop. There is an immense amount of brake dive, not quite making the rear unstable, but not far from it. Panic braking at 60 pulling a trailer of any mass would be terrifying. Honestly, if I were to change anything it may be...

It's called brake squirm and the more you insulate the chassis hard points from the road, the more likely it is to become a factor. When driving a tall off road vehicle it's important at highway speeds to maintain a following distance much greater than almost everyone does these days. Most...

The crazy thing is, with all the stuff we used to do to wrench max power out of these things. How much power does the Bronco 2.7 make? With a warranty. With great drivability. Excellent manners across the power band. Amazing stuff.

Somehow 250hp in a Miata with a SC doesn't strike me as even remotely impossible, hell, a stock bottom end 4.6 Mustang went 650hp, and that was about 15 years ago. I said impossible, because I read an online article last night that said Ford had made it impossible.

There are global supply chain shortages across nearly every industry. Raw material shortages inveitably lead to appliance shortages, lead to extended delivery times and price increases on new homes,... Combined with a high demand at the moment, it's going to take years for this to normalize...

I thought custom GOAT modes were impossible?

Those pics really show off how the color changes with the light. Thx.

Great point as that will be needed for the dogmatic Jeep buddies who will keep saying, "ya but my Jeep." :LOL:

I'm curious what the other side of that lower QD looks like. If that connector replaces the nut on that bolt I would question it's durability.

Agree on the last point, in fact, IMO 2DR Wildtrak is overall the best looking Bronco. The stance, proportions and presence are excellent. Side by side the subtle differences between the BL and WT are noticeable. We chose WT b/c we wanted the 2.7, sas, and cloth seats. WT came out close enough...

The comment was in reference to OP paying MSRP and taking possession of his build.

Guys, the Bronco is THE trendy vehicular personal image statement at the moment. There are lots of people out there who will pay stupid money to have one. Not to use it for what it's designed for, it's like a custom Gucci handbag. This time next year there will be a bunch of them in high school...

This is a new one to me, Palsapp never gave me any real data, but it's always populated a few fields until today.

My tracker is showing someone's Onyx Black Base headed to Fullerton.
