Keep in mind that is a non SAS Bronco with aftermarket 35" tires (bigger then the SAS 35" tires). Without a lift you are going to run into some major tire clearance issues off road (like having that Jeep drag you out kind of issues).
You mean like something from the '40s?Don't mean to insult anyone that has a Wrangler but the Bronco makes it look very dated.
That’s why the Wrangler is successful. They have a recipe and they’re sticking to it. They drastically change that design and a lot of Jeep fans will be upset.Don't mean to insult anyone that has a Wrangler but the Bronco makes it look very dated.
I remember reading an article when's the JLs were coming out that the uppers were one vote away from it being IFS. Whoop imagine how salty those ppl would of been!That’s why the Wrangler is successful. They have a recipe and they’re sticking to it.

This Bronco is a FrankensteinBronco needs more clearance. I am torn between big meats like this with SASQ or 33" tires.... I have a little to decide still.
It's kind of amazing that they've been able to be so successful with such minimal and incremental updates over 80 years but yeah, there is obvious change and updating over that time but compared to other vehicles over that span, not a whole lot of change.You mean like something from the '40s?
That's true and it's worked for Colonel Sanders too, but I have a feeling that the Bronco is going to nudge them to make a more significant change or they are going to lose some of these loyal fans.That’s why the Wrangler is successful.

Thank you for the clarification. I keep asking this question. How is the 35” tires non SAS okay for roof racks but 35” SAS on not okay?? ?Keep in mind that is a non SAS Bronco with aftermarket 35" tires (bigger then the SAS 35" tires).

I appear to be in the minority, but I would absolutely love 35s WITHOUT the lift. Just how it is in this photo. It just sits like a pit bull and I love that.Keep in mind that is a non SAS Bronco with aftermarket 35" tires (bigger then the SAS 35" tires).

yup, that Bronco would not be able to follow the rubicon on the trail. Those big meats would be stuffed into the fenders. Need clearance to climb.
Those Broncos had sas. This Bronco does not. It just has big 'ol tires... is what he meansCause all those vids of Broncos on the Rubicon had crushed fenders?
For one... i think this is a one off, concept that is not certified to be on the road, so it doesn't need to follow all the rules. Secondly, it's shorter, so may be able to have the rack due to that?Thank you for the clarification. I keep asking this question.

ive been thinking about this today. They were so very close last model to drop the solid axle, I think for EPA reasons. I wonder what the next model will bring? I think that, after the steering issues they have had, and bean counters breathing down their necks, and reasons I can keep going, there are valid arguments to switch to IFS. Extremely valid reasons. If so, Jeep people will be upset.I remember reading an article when's the JLs were coming out that the uppers were one vote away from it being IFS. Whoop imagine how salty those ppl would of been!
Totally agree! My thoughts are I wonder if they streamline the process out of the factory of picking solid or IFS! Be huge! I mean wouldn't be hard. Just two different production lines!ive been thinking about this today. They were so very close last model to drop the solid axle, I think for EPA reasons. I wonder what the next model will bring?

But also, it’s really a big differentiation from the Bronco. Solid front axle is the Wrangler’s signature, really. It’s a way to set it apart from Bronco. Switching to IFS at this point may be a huge blow to the brand, like validating the Bronco and falling in line behind it.
somewhere in FCA, there’s mid level management scratching their heads trying to figure this one out, waiting on taking delivery of the dozen or so Broncos that they reserved for testing. Either road will be tough.
