Economies of Scale

Look at the color palette Jeep offers on Wranglers. Lime green, freakin purple, etc...You telling me Ford cant do that?

Filson is about the Best gear you can get! I picked up the Bronco Bag this morning (probably going to be turned into a collector item).

For those that don't know Filson, and call it an overpriced hipster brand.....you're right about the hipster part (unfortunately Seattle is doing that to everything cool).....however, you get what you pay for.

Bottom line....Filson Double Mackinaw wool coats and Logger Outerwear is the soul of the company....and the rest is made for the hipsters.
I love seeing Bronco team up with Filson. If I get the option to select a Filson center console or bikini tops.......take my $$$

Is it my imagination, or were the cupholders previously side-to-side, not vertical? Or maybe that was for the manual.

For me personally, the Cactus Grey First Edition WITH the Filson interior would be a dream build!

I can't get over that top. I want to see safari top with that rack on a 4dr in carbonized grey and Black, both 4 door, black diamond on 33s.

That top is a soft top right? It almost looks like a black MIC hardtop and that really shows how good a black MIC hardtop would look. Dang.

For those in the Seattle area, Filson sent out an email this morning and both the Firecrew Rig and Overland Concept will be in front of the Filson Flagship from 12pm - 4pm PT tomorrow (Friday Oct 23rd). First chance for us in WA to actually see the new Bronco in person!

Or ever been to Hawaii, where all they do is run their vehicles with the rods on the front.

Yeah. People making the comment about not understanding the OBX fishing rig must be from the heartland. Go anywhere on the coast and the above pic is the standard issue way to carry rods and surf fish.

So many great memories on Nantucket of cruising out to Great Point, point the truck towards the water, surf fish and grab a beer.

The rods being angled back over the vehicle is not something that I have seen too much and the seat on the rod holder I have never seen.

But that would make entirely too much sense since the Filson interior is way too complementary to the cactus grey paint.

Im sure it goes into forest management as well. I mean being from a logging family, don’t you realize how vast a forest is and how much resources and labor that would take to manage that much forest? Anyway I digress. There are a million things at play here and again, not the time or place. Let’s just be happy they are putting some focus into it.

Yes to maintain ALL the forest area would be nearly impossible, however they could focus on heavily populated areas 1st. They already messed with nature by building these towns in the mountains- so now it's their responsibility to maintain them. Much like an arborist has to thin trees on a scheduled basis, or fruit orchards maintain their trees by lopping off unproductive limbs, competing limbs etc in order to have healthy trees and a high yield. I'm sure we all mow our grass regularly and maintain our landscaping at our homes, why is the forest any different? People act like you can't touch them because everything has a symbiotic relationship etc, and that's true to a point, but trees are actually very competitive for sunlight, nutrients etc.. not to mention the dead undergrowth that blocks sunlight for newly planted trees.. I have several close friends who lost everything in the camp fire in paradise, and now this year in oregon as well. I'm sure they all wish the forest had been maintained and there was a plan in place to create a defensible space around the towns. Climate change no doubt has an effect as well- but to combat that will take several lifetimes and it would take every country in the world buying in and making changes. In the meantime there are real life ways to protect the here and now, and it is not by hugging trees and planting new ones, it's by management.. or maybe I'm all wrong and full of hot air ?

somehow fox got the supplier for the fire/med skid mis-spelled. kimtek( not kimkek)

looks like a 7000$ add-on

That's one hell of an outdoor bidet option, though.

$350 duffle

The way people act like $2k is chump change (xplan), I figure folks on here would buy this to carry their walk around money in.

 

[FTFRS]

Here's the Filson walk around.

@1:08..."And for the color...this one is forest service green, which we're gonna get into in a little bit..."

...then never comes back to the green color in this video at all. So, maybe they are gonna offer it after all, and we'll have a nice surprise with B&P and the C&M video??

Don't love the Jeepish location of the FILSON letters on the hood.

Hard to tell if the rear seats are in there and all those people fit.

See the panel that goes behind the front seats? That effectively encloses the front seats, makes it a 2-seater vehicle. The rear is open air cargo area, similar to what you have in a pick-up truck.
