SEMA Special Live Stream Bronco Q&A

[BlueBronco]

He could have mispoken...

Yeah, I have a feeling he confused that info. I am still not certain we know the true differences between BL and Sasquatched-BL. Besides stiffer springs, longer shocks and 10mm less suspension travel.

After the biggest forum stink (FE navy pier) was an obvious whiff, we know...

"We're Listening" actually means "We wrote it down, placed it in a time capsule, and will think about it at the refresh"

so truee!

My winch question got answered. You either get the winch with an obstructed view or don't get it. There is no workaround. Other than trying to relocate the winch motor, but I don't think that will work either. It would be a $2500 gamble.

I wonder if they don't care because they expect that orders with the package with the trail cam will be way less generally, not to mention most orders with high or lux package won't order a winch at any point either?

Where is the link? I didn't see it in my email

Did anyone ask about the lift on that SEMA build?

Yes, but the guy in the middle answered it and didn't answer it. The question was the Sema build SAS or lifted and he said "yes"...

Its one of those sticky notes they haven't gotten to yet.

It will be awesome to have a second set of fenders etc strictly for off-road/rock crawling usage. Something cheap that you are not too worried about getting damaged. Also awesome that all you need is a drill to take it all apart. Can't wait!

A Warn 10s with wire rope weights 104lbs, that winch bumper mount and hoop probably weigh another 50. Go sit on your front bumper and measure how much it drops. (1" on my Rubicon.) 4WP tells me I would need 1/2-3/4" spacers or ARB heavy springs if I mounted a winch on my Jeep. Since my bumper is winch ready, that would just be the winch and wire weight.

Net - that Overland concept was loaded down, and the Bilstein shocks and springs are soft to allow articulation.

I just sat on my front bumper and measured the sag. It was only .5” of sag and I’m 225lbs.
I have Fox 2.5 adjustable coilovers and they are set on the softest setting right now.

Im not calling you a liar, but what you said doesn’t seem to check out.

This was the real low point of the Q&A. They basically said, “we whiffed on this, and we have no plans to fix it”

End results is they just lost my $2500 accessory add. It’s too bad too cuz I was one of those people who probably don’t need a winch but have always wanted one and was planning to “splurge” cuz Ford made it so seemingly easy.

Most practical use of winch

if you go onto the warn website they have winches that go inside bumpers. I would bet within a year there will be a bumper for the bronco (from warn at least maybe not ford) that will have the winch inside it

Yeah ford is screwing themselves more than us. There will be a $500 winch capable bumper before the end of next year that doesn’t interfere with the camera. Guaranteed. Smittybuilt or quadratech is chomping at the bit to build bronco shit ASAP and I’m sure that is one of their top priorities. (Also should be relatively easy)

excuse my fwench but the dude in the middle is a fckn yes-man d!ckhead, he talked his way around every single question
"is there an additional lift on this besides what comes with the sasquatch"
"not in what we offer from the factory but the vehicle is designed to be very easy to modify"
THAT WAS A YES OR NO QUESTION BUDDY

I mean he did kinda answer it... it’s lifted but not a factory lift. IIRC in the other thread there is a part list and it has changed control arms and some other stuff.

They answered my question "will towing package be available on models" and the answer was yes

They just answered the FE interior question and the Navy Pier was confirmed as the only option. F^%K

Not on Base
