That's going to be pretty individual based on uses. What you need in Alaska is going to be different than what I need here in Northern Nevada or what someone in Florida needs. Why not just go out and see what problems you need to solve?
I would not buy anything until you know what the vehicle limitations are. Based on the conditions you just described, you won't really even need 4WD. Broncos are like Jeeps in that they are super capable right out of the box. I kept my Wrangler bone stock until I had some experience and figured...
Thanks for this insight. I like how tightly the winch fits on the front. Most of what I am going to be on is like the pics I shared, with narrow paths with lots of low scrub. So I'm not going to be hitting a lot of tight approaches but I still prefer the way yours looks.
Thanks!
Did some exploring, got stuck, got unstuck.
We used straps and a come-along but I'm really considering a winch. I've got the lux package so that gives me a bit of pause because of all the sensors.
Speaking of which, why don't the parking sensors auto turn off when you're in 4WD?
I'm coming from a Wrangler and have a Badlands (non-SAS).
My Jeep is lifted (frankenlift with Rock Krawler, MetalCloak, and Teraflex). It has 35's with 17-inch rims. On road there is no comparison, the Bronco is light years ahead of the Jeep. I've got the smaller motor, and even in the...
So, coming from the Jeep world, I'm trying to wrap my head around needing to drop the fuel tank to change out the control arms. Are you planning on lifting it more? When I did my suspension in my driveway I did not need to drop anything aside from the axle and certainly didn't need a welder...
I loved my JKU because the 4 door config gave it much more utility. I mostly off-road in the desert (think DV and northern Nevada) and the 4 door doesn't have nearly as many limitations as people think.
I've got a 4 door Bronco for the same utility reasons.
But yeah, lots of people don't...
I was thinking hardtop bolts as well but I've got a soft top. There are three bolt holes on either side of the trunk which is where I thought they went but there aren't any bolts in any of those holes.
