We're still waiting. Haven't seen anything yet.

Pretty good and informative thread right here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/flat-tow-equipment-needed-to-flat-tow-the-2021-bronco.19759/

The Porsche has traction control, so brake was applied to push power to the other tire. Bronco does not have low speed traction control, the traction control disengages in low range.

Cool! Thanks! I wondered if you had a favorite loading dock that's handy. That's what I did after each modification. Now, since I have a shop, we use the forklift. :giggle: Thanks again for the pics and verification that you really tested it. (y)

You need lockers for a whole lot of stuff other than Hell's Gate on that video. Very small ruts and almost imperceptible irregularities in rough dirt roads can lift a tire or take weight off of one or two tires even if they don't lift, and without lockers one tire will spin. Don't do much, and...

Boy, you're really set on criticizing the OP. I'd like to see how you would have made it using your own advice. I know..."hey guys, get me the winch". Geeze....the muddy logs closely together is not mild. Dude, get off your high horse. :rolleyes: And Jeep could easily bend a tie rod doing...

Oh, and back to not agreeing with this sacrificial part baloney. I really do not believe the engineers designed the inner tie rod to be a "fusible link". Both the tie rod AND the rack should be stronger. It just is what it is. I don't want to be hauling ass through the desert and hit a rock and...

I politely disagree. This is not a mild obstacle. It requires hitting the logs at angles with wheel spin which is going to put stress on steering and front axles. If you want to drive straight through it you would need power and speed which would require even bigger and stronger parts. So no...

This exhaust gets rid of that big assed muffler behind the axle which is just waiting to get smashed on a rock. My friend James is an engineer at AFE and is a Jeep guy, said a goal was to get rid of the big muffler.

I wouldn't be critical here, to get through those logs you have to drive like he was driving. Personally, I hate mud so I'd never try it, but it would be a fun challenge in a new Bronco when out with your Jeep buddies. 😁

No negative to the OP here, looks like a fun obstacle to try. However, as far as potential to break parts I would consider the muddy logs obstacle as having breakage potential. Sure, we can think that the Bronco should be strong enough to handle it, but it's a perfect storm kind of thing, just...

Not really. I wouldn't be surprised if a stock Jeep steering bent on that same obstacle. Most Jeeps, both XJ's and Wranglers, get upgraded steering components. I've broken a sector shaft on the trail in my Jeep. Upgrading steering parts is pretty basic on a Jeep that gets wheeled regularly.

😁 Not a daily driver, it's a play truck. I haul a Lance camper and tow my Jeep or rock buggy or race car in a trailer. And I used to have a 5th wheel RV trailer, and tow my boat. I ended up buying a 40ft DP motorhome, so the truck mostly just gets used to tow the boat a few ties a year and...

I think it's clearly both equally. Which is totally fine to me. But yes, getting a lift and getting better ground clearance.

Heck no, I'm not getting rid of my truck! Couldn't replace it. It's a 2000 F450 7.3 PSD 6 sp manual with a pickup bed conversion, so unlike the factory F450 pickups it has the bigger frame and massive brakes, 14.5" front and 15.5" rear, plus 72 gal fuel and a full air bag rear suspension (no...

Unless you want a modified used vehicle. Not too many stock Jeeps out there to buy, but most people buying a used Jeep want one that has already been modified. Buying an already modified Jeep is cheaper than buying one and modifying it yourself. Just taking issue with your comment, what's your...

It's a real shame to see that you gave up so early in the process. Yes, it's a shame that you did talk to the GM and he held the line with his sales manager, but this dealership is part of a larger group and there is a manager that is over the various general managers of the store, and that...

Somebody has to be first, go for it. I question needing 2.5" of lift, but I don't know what tire size you want to run. It totally makes sense, and I'd look into doing it. Not having a Bronco to look at, I don't know how feasible it is. But, nothing at all wrong with the idea.

The big question for me is what exactly did you do to fully articulate the suspension and turn the front wheels lock to lock to confirm that the tires didn't rub? It would be nice to see a pic of that, all flexed out. That means a ton more than driving around town and nothing rubbed. Where did...

But please remember they were strapping, winching, and stacking rocks to get through, not just driving. Big difference. Running a trail, simply getting through a trail, and driving a trail while you enjoy the peace and scenery and have fun trying optional lines, are vastly different experiences...
