Living in an area with power outages is a good reason to get a Lightning, because you can power your house with it.

I'm torn here... The sticker on the bottom indicates that your gf is cool AF, but the one on the top makes me question that.

Bro, the Lightning has 775 lb-ft of torque (that's instantly and a strait line across the graph vs a 5.0 that has 410 max at some rpm) it can do plenty of "real truck stuff" and then some... Payload is also right on track with a standard F150. It also has a 0-60 of 4 seconds flat.

I test drove a Lightning a few weeks ago. Went in for an oil change on my Bronco and my sales guy was like hey since you're just sittin around, you wanna take the demo out? Ummmm YES! I was blown away. That thing in Sport mode literally throws your head back. It was like riding a crotch...

This is pretty good.

JL gas tank hangs down almost the exact same.

The B6G doesn't hang any lower than any other off road vehicle, the bottom is always the frame rail (unless something is hanging below the frame rails like the transfer case on the B5G). What differs is the verticle distance between the bottom of the frame rail and the axle center line (a...

Ok let's get back on point here. Yes you can fit 35s on a stock JL Rubi you really can't wheel with them (you're going to rub doing anything). So really you need a lift $500 or so to do a suspension lift from RC. For like $700 you can throw after market UCAs and a spring perch lift on the...

So I live in Kansas, and Kansas is flat (all 82,278 square miles), so I have no idea how to wheel?

Why are you here if you passed on a Bronco, just bored with life?

I don't care who you are, saying "the Bronco really isn't a rock crawler" is ridiculous. I rock crawl the hell out of mine, there are a ton of people that do.

I'm just going to go ahead and say it (nicely): If you expected a Bronco to do 100% of what a Jeep does then you aren't very smart. If you expected a Bronco to be buildable to do the hardest 15% of trails then you aren't very smart.

You don't know what you're talking about and that statement absolutely shows it. First: ANY Jeep with 35s or 40s is lifted, so not just slight modifications. Second: A Jeep on 37s and a Bronco on 37s require about the same amount of modifications (you're gonna upgrade the steering linkage on...

To say a stock Bronco isn't as good rock crawling as a stock Jeep is stating the obvious. It's just poor expectations to think your STOCK B6G would be able to do what a heavily modified EB is doing (even on the same size tires). Your proclamation that the B6G isn't a good rock crawler is flat...

There are drawback and there are benefits. The main compliant here is the belly clearance, which is very easily fixed. I would also pair that with some wheel spacers to get a little more width to offset some of that loss in CG.

The B6G has a lower center of gravity by design, this is a feature, it helps with stability at speed. Lift the suspension and you get your greater belly height for boulders. Zero of those Jeeps were stock, the EB's certainly weren't. I don't understand why this is so difficult a conclusion to...

My point is a suspension lift fixes what he's complaining about. The fact that you can put 35s on a B6G without putting as much lift is a BENEFIT, not a negative. It keeps the CG down. If you wanna go over boulders and not get hung up on your belly: LIFT THE SUSPENSION so the bottom of the...

The sky is not falling with one transmission issue. Could be a bad sensor, could be there was something in the fluid and it just needs flushed, could be a defective part. Need to hear what the problem is first before everyone starts the whole "bad 2.7, bad fuel pump, now bad tranny, The B6G is...

It is an excellent comparison but you're looking at it wrong. Who cares where the hood is, you're not getting hung up on the hood..... At the center of the belly, there really isn't anything that hangs below the bottom of the frame on both. So lets look at where that is (approximately where...

False, absolutely false. The B6G is a great rock crawler, it's just different. There have been a lot of circumstances where I've made an obstacle look easy where a Rubi (also on 35's) has struggled and there are a lot of obstacles I've struggled on that a Rubi makes look easy. Those EBs have...
