If you want a mall crawler with a lift and bigger tires, stay base. If you want to actually go off road with it and do more then just dirt roads, then you have to add Sasquatch. Besides the lockers, which you'll definitely want, you get the deeper gears and bigger front axle to handle the...
So how is a 2.7 running premium gas all the time? By the numbers that's pretty good power. Really wonder how good that 4WP disco sway bar will be. I want the 2.7, but am afraid I'm stuck with the 2.3 which I hope will be ok since I need the vacuum brake booster for my brake system to tow the...
What is it about Sport mode that makes it so important to you?
If you're going to use it off road regularly, then the sway bar disco is pretty important. I got a close look at the sway bar links and manual quick disconnects are not going to be easy to get to. The sway bar is behind the axle...
Yes, side loads from ruts or rocks when air pressure is low. Also the ability to run much lower pressure in snow or sand, in which case the wheel can spin inside the tire and side loads from ruts, or turning, or off camber can cause the bead to come off because of the very low pressure. With...
They said the trail guides were out looking for various demo spots to show and give experience for the various types of terrain. Still while running actual Moab trails. That's pretty cool, and definitely more scenic and fun than the other locations.
OK, so define off road? Show me your policy that says it won't cover your car if you are off road. Do you mean you are off of a road? Define a road? BTW, the Rubicon Trail is a county road.
I just got back from a week in Silverton CO and ran all kinds of trails in the San Juan Mtns. All of...
If it is maintained according to the schedule, and you haven't modified the drivetrain, they will cover it. No reason not to. I would ignore the responses with an automatic "no they won't cover it". The Bronco was made to go off road. They are putting on the Off Roadeo events specifically to...
Yeah, I was surprised that out of a dozen Broncos, there was only one 2dr. Don't know if more are coming. I was glad that the one 2dr was a non-SAS Badlands, which is what I'm getting.
I happen to be on my way home from a three week road trip today, mostly jeeping in UT and CO. I'm taking mostly scenic routes home to CA, so I'm driving down 128 along the Colorado River towards Moab and I see a Bronco and the Bronco Off Roadeo sign! Well, I had to pull over and park and check...
Yeah, I might been wadded up a bit. I didn't want future Bronco people to have the idea that it's common practice among Jeepers to not run a sway bar. Yes, some do, but it is not recommended and not common practice. And, I do agree that the disco sway bar would be a valuable option to offer with...
Since I'm a desert racer and have a shelf full of trophies and a class national championship, I'll politely disagree that no sway bar helps absorb bumps at any speed. Suspension tuning absorbs bumps, it's the job of shocks and springs. A disconnected sway bar only minimizes slow speed side...
People that say that aren't aware of or are forgetting how well IFS cars do in ULtra4/King of the Hammers. Granted, the straight axle cars do well also, but Loren Healy, Jason Sherer and Shannon Campbell have all won with IFS cars. I think we're going to be totally fine with IFS, and it makes it...
Never been an issue on Jeeps, happens all the time. Questioning it makes sense, but there hasn't been an issue for tons of Jeeps and trucks. At low speed the fan is doing all the work, and there is plenty of space for the fan to pull air through the grill. At high speeds the air flow will just...
Comfort with the sway bar disconnected is at slow speeds, it minimizes side rocking over bumps and rocks. For going faster you actually want the sway bar connected for stability in quick turns of the steering wheel to maintain control and avoid rocks and things. So, I don't see them offering it...
He said JK which came out in 2007, which was the first 4 dr and a pretty new body style compared to the TJ (1996-2006), and I remember that. BTW, I'm a Jeep guy. I've been building, driving, wheeling, and racing them for years. I've had as many as a dozen at one time. I've been president of our...
