103.4 for LJ...96.8 for current JL (Bronco is 100.4). Almost there! At least slightly longer than the 93.4 TJ wheelbase. I think this company is on to something:

Just go back about 4 years on this forum to when a good chunk of us started what you perceive as dividing ourselves, and you might discover that the majority of this is all in good fun.
This forum was originally populated with folks who like to tease each other like a bunch of wise-ass cousins at a family reunion who love each other, but let the insults fly.
Pineapple pizza for everyone, chair-throwing, and a mutual hated for Estevan. (His name was Estevan, right?)
It was all fun and games...
Now... I need to look out the window and admire my perfectly-proportioned proper 2-door.

that window is distorting the fact that its actually a 4 door you are admiring!Just go back about 4 years on this forum to when a good chunk of us started what you perceive as dividing ourselves, and you might discover that the majority of this is all in good fun.

Technically the 1st gen belongs to my kid. He bought it when he was 15 or 16 years old, 8 or 9 years ago before they were ridiculously popular.
But it is the main reason I wanted a Bronco...
I think it's (first gen Bronco awesomeness) the main reason many people on this forum wanted a Bronco... especially those who prefer the 2 door version!Technically the 1st gen belongs to my kid. He bought it when he was 15 or 16 years old, 8 or 9 years ago before they were ridiculously popular.

When I had my Jeep they would call of the 4 door Wrangler mall crawlers on the forums. At least I do not have to see any angry grill Broncos like I have seen with Jeeps.
As both an appreciator of Broncos and Jeeps, I have never understood many of the aftermarket mods some find so appealing for BOTH Jeeps and Broncos...but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

You put your sidekick in the front. any extras in the back.I was seriously considering a 2-door. It was the poor back seat access that killed it for me. I like my friends and I don't like to see them suffer.
Wow 20 pages on this topic! I guess I have a rare one- 2 door Base Sasquatch with 2.7. I love the plain Sasquatch badge on the side- that makes it rare right there, LOL. And for under 40K was a super deal. I was comparison shopping at the time and liked the Jeep Gladiator. But to get a relatively base one, then add the lift, tires, wheels, lockers AND gearing change it was going to be 50- 60K. Base Bronco Sas was such a better deal and no brainer for me.

I've thought that the LJ would be an ideal toad for pulling behind our RV. Good usable space but in a tight package. I look every now and then.103.4 for LJ...96.8 for current JL (Bronco is 100.4).

I had one and I shouldn't have let it go...I tortured myself because I sold it to my neighbor so I still drive by it. It is very towable, however it weighs around 4,800 lb with the soft top and half doors (on 35s/winch/steel bumpers/lift/recovery gear). For comparison, my JL has only slightly less room in the rear cargo area, and it weighs 4200 (better axles/transmission/road manners/creature comforts/etc.). I'm addition, a decent used one can be had for less than the price of a nice LJ. Sure the value of the LJ will be much higher down the road, but eventually many (older) folks tend to let go of the "it will be worth more one day" and now focus on the "I like to be comfortable both on and off road" (and while towing). The LJ needs to be towed with the steering unlocked (key in first position) while the JL has no steering lock and key can remain off...little things like that add up with a toad. The towing a Bronco procedure, however, is not only a lot of steps but many people have shared that they have grenaded theirs even after following all those steps. Although a 6th gen. Bronco certainly wins with road manners, Jeeps win with dinghy towing all day long.

Agree, the Bronco wins 100% for road manners.
My back was killing me after a 3 hour drive in my past JL. No issues with the Bronco for long trips.
At about 24, I drove my TJ from Santa Cruz to MT Shasta, that was brutal. Still loved it and rolled around in Safari mode with the half doors.
