Hahahaha, those badges do look cheap as hell. You'd think at least the higher trims would have something nicer.
I do think as time goes on there will be more apparent delineation between the Bronco trim levels. Jeep has had a lot more time to work it out. And as a novice, I couldn't tell a...
I lived in a condo for 8 years at which time I had my VW Thing and a VW Cabriolet (white top). I used a self-serve car wash and brought my own bucket, soap, and brush.
I replaced the top myself on the Cabriolet when I bought it (cheap, cause it needed a top). Really, the only thing wrong with...
I wouldn't trust the detergents in an automatic car wash on any soft top I've owned and I've owned at least 20 since 1982. I currently own 3.
The killer of tops is UV, garage it, cover it, or use a top protectant. Should hold up okay, but it's definitely a wear item.
Back in the day I worked at a dealer doing the new car prep. Inventory cars that sat on the lot got a light WD40-type undercoating just so the bare metal wouldn't rust, just in case a customer poked his head under the vehicle, or under the hood. Anything custom ordered for immediate delivery...
Gentleman, please. I sincerely apologize for my negative opinion of the 4-door Bronco. I certainly understand their place in today's market and the importance of their production.
We'll need vehicles to harvest parts from in 30 years when we're restoring the collectable 2-door Broncos.
:giggle:
They're all buying 2-door Broncos cause they know it's the closest thing they can get to a Samurai. :giggle:
If Suzuki brought in the new Jimny they'd be giving both Ford and Jeep a serious run for the money.
I'm not a skeptic at all. I bought a Samurai from Texas that was very rust free and clean underneath. We drove it twice in the snow in Pennsylvania and you wouldn't believe the rust that came out on the frame and chassis. Now I use Fluid Film on all my cars and it definitely helps.

That's better than some I've seen. I'm concerned about this issue as well. The manufacturer's don't seem to care about underbody protection, especially at a component level.
The brine they spray on the roads these days is much more corrosive than the plain rock salt of the past.
What products...
Oh man, that just made me sick to my stomach. I had a small used car lot at my auto shop, I had to stop selling convertibles because the problem became so prevalent.
Yeah, I saw that was happening. Sorry about that. Although, the thread is kinda all over the place anyway.
I appreciate you calling my posts "stupid" and "asinine". We know It's best to go for the personal attacks when your opinions on a subject are weak. :)
Yeah, I know. In my introduction thread to this forum I posted a photo of my only 4x4, a Samurai. Some people felt it necessary to post vomit emojis (🤮). I just laughed.
So I stand by my opinion that the 2-door Bronco is better looking than the 4-door Bronco.
