I wouldn’t be concerned about the rusty driveshaft, factory shafts always seem to be barely painted or not painted at all. I think most stock 4wds driveshafts are all rusted like that
if it’s the Bronco that you really want, I get waiting. If it’s the lifestyle you want, just get something else if they are delaying your build even more. I’d hate to see someone wait 3 years to go off-roading when they could have already had years worth of adventures.
It’s not what you guys probably want to hear, but I have both a Jeep and bronco. And I don’t think the bronco is better/worse than the Jeep to warrant waiting almost 3 years for it when I can get a Jeep far easier and quicker. If you really want an open top off-roader I would seriously consider...
this random rubber cover fell out from under the bronco today as I was washing it, any idea what it is/where it goes? I can’t find where it might go. Googling the part number it comes up as a headlight dust cover for a Toyota.
You can add manual sway bar disconnects to a Jeep for 100 bucks... I wonder if the Bronco will allow for that, not sure if it’s possible on an IFS, might just have to take the entire sway bar out, not as convenient, hope I’m wrong. Because I can only afford the base.
