Read my above post. Politely disagree with your premise, but appreciate the response and perspective. BTW, I've been on Medicare for some time now. 😁

Left foot braking. Some in this thread have commented about what to do with their left foot with an auto....well, use it to apply the brakes. Always left foot brake when off road. And, doing this is part of the big advantage of auto over stick in technical off road sections. Another advantage of...

Low range in my rock buggy with an auto and letting it shift on it's own is perfect. Always in exactly the right gear seemlessly. Now, in high range it's a different story. :giggle:

Assuming your post was inviting a response. :giggle: If I have a sports car, I want a stick. I have a track race car which is a stick. I have a collector edition pick up that is a stick, and I love driving it. My F450 is a manual, for the exact reason someone above stated that older vehicles...

Seems like you answered your own question. No need to depend on various GOAT modes, if you're getting rear wheel spin just turn on the locker. I think the GOAT modes are mostly marketing. We'll see how much we actually end up using them. I think nearly all the time we'll put it in 4wd when we...

Curious why a manual is so important. I know, some people like stick shift trans, but why in a Bronco? Do you get a stick in all of your other cars and trucks? Not trying to start a stick vs auto debate (but a good discussion is fine), but I've seen so many comments about a manual I'm wonder...

There are plenty of opportunities on those trails to demonstrate all the features and terrain types. Here are a few pics of Moab.

Just two weeks ago we spent a week in Silverton. We ran Alpine Loop, Black Bear Pass/Immogene Pass, Pouhgkeepsie Gulch, Animas Forks/Corkscrew Gulch, Yankee Boy Basin and Govenors Basin. The only two I wouldn't recommend for novices who are by themselves would be Black Bear Pass (though they...

Alltrails.com is also a great resource. You can specify off road in the search and get pretty much anything in an area, with good descriptions and useful reviews. alltrails.com

We tried a Sasquatch and it's a bit high for my wife to get in. So, thinking BL with 33's or getting BaseSquatch and putting 33's on it. I kind of like the idea of 4.7's and 33" tires and the 2.3L, could be a really nice to drive. I also like the narrower non-SAS fender flares. BTW, I was able...

I will give a strong second to the suggestion to go into Yankee Boy Basin from Ouray. Just did a week in that area two weeks ago, and Yankee Boy was one of my favorite, and most scenic days. Can also take off from that road up to Governors Basin, all in an easy day, and two wheel drive all the...

If you leave it the way it is, it will be worth what you paid for it when you sell it. Enjoy! BTW, it will make you REALLY appreciate the Bronco when it gets here. :ROFLMAO:

Even the 4 to 1 ratio on the Rubicon is questionable unless you rock crawl quite a bit. For general trail running and exploring it can be pretty low, and the 4.5 will just make it worse. This is especially true for the few who will order a Rubicon with a manual trans. Normally, there is an...

You gain nothing by waiting, you have a reservation by putting in an order. No brainer...put in an order. You will change your order based on current information when the time comes to finalize it.

Damn, hard to believe how many whiny ass responses there are. Yeah, go ahead and bitch me out. They have close to 200k orders and have only been building them since June. We've been in a pandemic with parts and transport issues in every industry. Ford has discovered a major production/quality...

Well, it sounds like your mind is running away with you with possible scenarios that are all speculation. You have no hard knowledge except a build date. It's kind of surprising me that you are freaking out over a build date that has actually been moved up, with no more hard information. You...

Also, from personal experience in 30 years of wheeling, leading tons of trails, organizing events, being president of a couple Jeep clubs, and owning a shop...you WILL do more wheeling than you currently think you will. You WILL look at doing more upgrades than you currently think you will. It...

Reading through the owners manual again, it says that the ignition/vehicle is turned off. So, it should be like parking the vehicle, meaning that other then applying the brakes no other modules or electronics is on. I'm feeling a bit better about this, and getting the 2.7. Air Force One says...

My comment is for discussion only. Wonder why sticking with 18" rims? For off road, and for good looks on a 4x4 car, a smaller diameter rim does better. The wider sidewall allows for safer low pressure off road, less likely to pinch a sidewall, and gets a bigger footprint for floatation and...
