Maybe once all of the "bronco" usernames cleared out the rest of the cancellations started... ?‍♂️

I remember smoking sections on airplanes. Of course, the enclosed cabin meant that you got to smell the smoke in every seat in the "non-smoking" section. Made about as much sense to me as having a peeing section in a pool.

I've been a Jeep guy for a couple of decades now. I've had a CJ7, a JK, two XJ Cherokees, 6 different full size Wagoneer/Cherokee/J10 Jeeps, 2 Comanche pickups, and I'm probably forgetting something. Right now, I'm down to 2. A 2001 Cherokee and a 1987 Comanche. The Comanche is being built...

I had a 2 door JK Wrangler for years. Just me. No spouse, kids, or pets. About 90% of the time it was fine. But that 10% of the time I really needed more space. I even had to rent a car a couple of times to haul around some things. At least until I picked up a second vehicle (2001 Jeep...

I had a 2 door Wrangler for several years. When it was my only vehicle, there were many times when I was wishing for more room. My 2001 Cherokee is a 4 door and it's a very convenient vehicle. More room inside and the doors make accessing stuff a lot easier. My 4 door Subaru Crosstrek is...

One thing to add. The lunchbox lockers (all automatic lockers actually) can confuse the traction control systems when they engage. It can cause the system to disable itself and go into some sort of limp mode. I know the Wrangler will just turn off the traction control but otherwise run fine...

Same here. I have a 2001 Cherokee with TrueTracs front and rear. It also has the NP242 transfer case that has both part time 4HI (tcase locked front to back) and full time 4HI (AWD). On the road it's an absolute beast in mixed snow/ice that we get in the winter. It's also very pleasant to...

Castle Rock here. I'm waiting for the 2022. I've bought vehicles in the first year they came out and wished I had waited. Both for "first year bugs" and it's easier to get a decent deal once the pent up demand is satisfied. Though I have X Plan through work so I'll probably get a decent deal...

The "Lincoln Locker" (welded spider gears) has been around a long time. So that comes up with most "welded differential" searches. Welding the ring gear has been around a long time as well but it's not nearly as common in the automotive axle end of the industry. If you search on "welded ring...

All day every day with no hesitation.

I dunno. It's not like a Jeep engine. "Jeep. If there ain't no oil under it, there ain't no oil in it."

Turns out that the speed limiter in most vehicles is set based on the speed rating of the factory tires. They don't want you running faster than the tires can handle.

The change in diameter has much more effect than the change in weight. The change in diameter affects the operating RPM of the engine at a given speed. To get "factory performance" when you change from one tire size to another you do some simple arithmetic to choose your ratio. Old gear...

The 190mm and 220mm refers to the ring gear diameter.

Jeep ran CAD in the 80s and dropped it around 1990. It came back in 2019 when the new generation JL was introduced. The TJ (96-06) and JK (07-18) never had it.

Depends on the surrounding infrastructure of the IFS system. The ring and pinion are small and 37's put a lot of stress on them. Biggest failure point on Dana 30 solid axles comes from case deflection causing gear misalignment causing teeth to break. That and the smaller diameter pinion shaft...

Jeep (and Dodge?) use a CAD (Center Axle Disconnect) system, at least on the solid front axle Jeeps. It's a 2 piece axle shaft on the passenger (long) side. The axle tube has a hole and an assembly attached to engage a shift collar. Back in the 80's it was a vacuum shifter. I think the new...

I mostly joined so I could update a thread about my gear ratio calculator. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/differential-gear-ratio-calculator.3448/ It's updated with the latest information I have and I'll try to update it with anything else new that I come across. I've been taking...

I'm happy people find it useful. I've planned out several builds with it since I first was building my old CJ7 back in the early 2000's. And don't tell all my Jeep friends but I've been looking at getting a Bronco to be my daily driver/moderate trail rig to go along with my 87 Comanche on tons...

I just created an account to post here that I added the Bronco information to the calculator. I put the transmission in as both the Ford MT88 and the Getrag 7MTI550. Both will give you the same numbers. I didn't know what transfer case brand/ID to call them so I put in "Ford Bronco 2021+" for...
