There is nothing tough enough in Ouray to challenge a rig enough to break tie rods. No wheel speed obstacles, nothing where a front locker is needed etc.
Oh you mean like building a vehicle people can actually buy? Building a vehicle with a diesel that gets 30 mpg, or a plug in hybrid with 20 miles of all electric range? You mean building a vehicle that is best in class at rock crawling?
I have had a bronco reserved for 600+ days now, but if...
Does anyone else feel like Ford does not capture this market well? Jeep offers great bright colors, and a variety to fit everyone's needs. Ford is literally offering a lot of gray and silver. At what point do we think Ford is just not fit? My patience is weening..
I have 63 thousand miles on my JL, all of them with 37s and have never had steering issues. I live 3 hours from moab and 5 hours from where this video was taken. I use the jeep off road with lockers engaged a lot. I have never had steering issues.
Why, as a consumer would you not demand ford to...
@LiteBrite How much do you feel like the Badlands helped on this trail? For example, could a blackdiamond with sasquatch (35's, lockers) do this trail, or do you feel the swaybar disconnect really made it possible?
Thanks!
Dude, this is a mild, very mild obstacle. Ford was showing these broncos on the Rubicon and in Moab. Don't be a Ford apologist, and just admit the parts are weak? A Rubicon would NOT have this happen and if Ford wants to play with the big boys we as customers need to push them to be better.
If you're not going to be in situations where your wheels are crossed up often, (which it sounds like you won't) then I think you should stick with the Black Diamond. IF you were a regular in moab, or wanted to do the Rubicon then I would say otherwise.
Also, with the Black Diamond Sasquatch...
They are pretty different in how they work, and best practices to use them.
I use lockers when I am approaching an obstacle that I know will cross the vehicle up. (lift tires). As soon as that obstacle is over, the lockers are off and stay off until needed.
Traction control if used...
