[aplm7]

those are links for a coil spring rear axle.

Those things that seem kinda in the way, can they be removed?

only if you want your axle to fall off. as long as they are beefy enough to slide on rocks, should be fine. and some frame sliders so you don't catch the mount either.

Good marketing right there!

Yes it should be pretty easy to move the Jeep out of the Bronco's way. In fact the Bronco appears to have already passed the Jeep by the last picture.

hmm, I wonder about approach angle on the Bronco if the bumper hangs down low like that. You can see the Bronco front bumper lower edge, is about midpoint of the wheel center. On the Jeep the bumper is significantly higher than wheel center. Then again, who knows exactly what is behind the camo/padding in terms of body and bumpers ...

It's an imposter bumper

I want to believe that is just camouflage.
The Bronco looks lame with those small SUV tires next to the Wrangler.
If Ford is stealth driving the Wrangler, it was a weak move to put these two together in front of the public.

There is a small outline of what to expect from the bumper in the shadow behind the baby bronco:

the 4 door looks only slightly long than the 2 door wrangler which is 167" (97" wheelbase)

Now we need to see the two door in this match-up!

 

[Jalisurr]

A lot of that is likely perspective, but I think this is indeed further indication that our 112" wheelbase estimate for the 4 door is correct. I'm guessing it'll be around 180" long for the 4 door, slightly shorter than a 4 door wrangler.

And this also confirms that it's definitely not 16 feet long not including bumpers...

Whatever Bronco dimensions turn out to be, it looks to be a coupl'a inches wider to the tapemeasure...and even wider than that to the naked eye, as Wrangler's body tapers down significantly from the flares. There'll certainly be more elbow room, but Jeep has defined 'perfect measurements' for offroaders much the same way Marilyn Monroe defined it for the fairer sex.

It'll take a little getting used to...I expect more so for the 2-door.

It really did seem like 16 or 17.5 ft was WAY too long. This is VERY reassuring for me. Tick tock tick tock.

The Jeep has them too FWIW

Honestly this leak doesn't do it for me... bad comparison, bad angles, poor quality, and nothing more uncovered... I think Ford could have setup a better leak
