Something to check out. I didn't use trail control for any obstacles, just on flat windy trail sections. The quest is on. :giggle:

Yep, another one who takes issue with your comment. I've been off roading as a sport for close to 30 years, and involved in a number of different clubs. Never encountered anyone who would spit on someone's car. Mostly good family people is what I've seen. Obviously you are relating to something...

This is interesting, because our Off Roadeo instructor told us there is no traction control in low range, which is also what the manual says. Which one is it? Regarding trails getting harder, mine is just a different perspective. Not talking about rough roads to get to places, where spinning a...

I think we agree that most Bronco owners won't do much hard stuff. The Bronco is perfect for a daily driver and for exploring dirt roads and fishing and camping spots and trailheads. for those who will wheel it regularly on 4x4 trails, a Sasquatch Bronco with a bit more lift and 35" tires and...

Yep, it's me. :giggle:

Don't know why you wouldn't order a duplicate from another dealer, unless price was a big factor. Plenty of dealerships are taking orders at MSRP. BTW, Ford said months before orders were open to be placed that allocation and parts availability would have an effect on order fulfillment. No surprise.

I'm sure you will come to regret it. $1500 is a real bargain for the rear locker and lower gears. It doesn't take much of a rut in a Bronco with no sway bar disconnected to spin a front and rear tire. I was surprised at Off Roadeo how easily this happened in a 4dr OBX that I drove. Engaged the...

Nope, Trail Control is the low speed cruise control. The manual says that traction control is not active in low range, only high range. BTW, I thought low speed cruise control would be pretty useless, but I used it at Off Roadeo and liked it. Or makes it better. 😁 :ROFLMAO:

Sasquatch and 35" tires seems to be how they addressed it. It does seem weird, considering how many other great things the Bronco has. The low points are the gas tank and the rear lower control arm mounts. Would be nice if the gas tank didn't hang below the frame rails. Oh well, just something...

Unless I'm mistaken, which I don't believe I am, the traction control in the Bronco shuts off in low range. So, going through sand or snow in high range traction control can come in to play, but not in low range. Just addressing this, since there is quite a bit of good info floating around in...

Most obstacles is very relative... :giggle:

You can't. Operative phrase there is that he went home and did lockers and bunch of other mods. Getting through a trail, with winching, strapping, and stacking a bunch of rocks, is much different than actually running a trail. Lockers are the most basic equipment for off road driving. Many, many...

I'm getting a new Bronco because I'm ready for a more modern vehicle as a daily driver and occasional 4wheeler. I fully expect that the Bronco will never be as good of a wheeling vehicle as my Cherokees have been. It's a bit of an anomaly. Size, weight, and suspension the XJ Cherokees work...

They used straps and winches and they broke things. Here's an example. I first ran Sledgehammer in Johnson Valley over 25 years ago in a full bodied XJ on 32" tires, with two lockers. We got done in the dark and didn't run the top part of the trail. Today, you need a well built Jeep with a large...

Lockers

Easy answer...you need at least one locker. Now, do you need lockers to go off road? That depends... :giggle: There are all kinds of off road terrain and routes and trails. If you want to go exploring in National Monuments and getting to back woods hiking trailheads and camping spots, then...

I just measured, and my XJ is 13.5" to the tcase/trans cross member, 13" to the bottom of the muffler, and 16" to the bottom of the frame. The bottom of the body pinch seam at the rockers is 18". This is with 2" lift and 30" tires. Would be interesting to see those measurements on various...

Thanks! Was wondering if any of that was Broken Arrow. I have a friend in Phoenix area who just got a 4Runner TRD and he'd like me to take him out a give him some pointers, so was thinking about doing some stuff in Sedona. Been there, but no off road stuff. I'll hit you up, thanks.

That is my biggest gripe and concern about the Bronco. However, Ford did give us plenty of options based on how we're going to use it. A BD on stock 31" tires is relatively low compared to most of the other model and equipment options, and stock with the rear locker the video showed it still...
