[TriggerTX]

As the Bronco will be replacing my old Range Rover Classic in the overlanding role, I really like the way they've set this up. It's about perfect.

what's that guy doing?

Love it, this is basically my rig all the way down to Area 51, but I'll grab the 2 door. Don't like those back side window deletes, but do see how they'll come in handy since gear will stack there anyway. Top being scratch proof or resistant is great also, only wish it were in white!

any one locate the bottle opener yet?

A long time ago they showed the bottle opener is actually in the rollbars itself in the back portion of the cargo area

Is it just me, or does this bronco look like it needs a little lift to clear those tires?

That's the first thing I thought when I saw it. Its 2 inches too low.

......and could stand to have some 37's stuffed in there.

I'm not crazy about that Yakima tent, especially the rainfly setup. Really hope they figure out a way to increase that weight restriction on the rack/roof.

Still haven't seen the insert that goes there though

during that same long time ago, they also stated the pre-production vehicles didn't have the bottle openers yet.

According to Goodyear, MT stands for Maximum Traction. But, Goodyear also states that the tire is a great mud tire.

Per Tire Rack:

The Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar® (MT/R - Maximum Traction/Reinforced) is Goodyear's Off-Road Maximum Traction tire developed for light truck driving enthusiasts who take off-road traction seriously. The Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar is designed to increase tire toughness when it conquers mud, crawls over rocks and explores trails.

FWIW, the set of 37x12.50R17 MTR/K I had on my JKU was the absolute LEAST ROUND set of tires I've ever owned. They were great on the trail, but on the street the street they brought the suck. Bigly sucky. I was overjoyed to trade them out for a set of NITTO Trail Grapplers. Sooooo much better.
Now that the JKU is my son's we've replaced the Nitto's with a set of Maxxis RAZR MT's. This is the first set of Maxxis automotive tires we've owned but everyone I know who's had Maxxis tires love them. And FWIW all our mountain bikes have Maxxis tires. I'm looking forward to seeing how well they work on the JK. If they work out that'll be awesome. If the Bronco comes with MTR/K's then the GY's will be swapped immediately. Seriously, they bring the suck.

Seems to be an issue with the JL

Ah... I admittedly did not follow the JL.

Once the JL came out, I was just happy to finally be able to claim I had a "real jeep" as there was a new kid on the block. Ha!

I am not sure what I think about the covered back portion. Think I’d rather not have the blind spot. Top looks better than expected!

Would still like to see white as an option!!!

BN made video private.

I heard it was because everyone made fun of the kid.

I really like the foldout table on the tailgate but I worry it'll start to rattle sooner than later and would drive me CRAZY...

I would plan on some weather stripping to cushion the table bottom from rattling against the back.

Unless I heard him wrong, I believe he says 35” tires in the video.

They were. I read it from the tire itself. No good picture of it though.
