love how everyone is saying "you could have push started it if it was a manual" when the original post even says a jump box wouldn't start it :ROFLMAO:
I’m in central FL too, Base Sasquatch 4 door order. The humidity and vinyl gets way sticky, I’d much rather get cloth interior. I’ve also always had a thing for basic, purposeful vehicles. And for $40k it’s a bargain.
@Mishimoto someone had mentioned it above, but just to reiterate-- intercooler relocation may become a necessity, as winch mount bumpers may inhibit the airflow to the intercooler itself. I have yet to see a Bronco in person, but just looking at all the images online, I can imagine this will be...
OP, can you ask to see the undercarraige of the vehicle? Take pictures, look for physical damage. If there's no physical damage, its all warranty. Tell them to shove it!
this would work. I spent about a decade between dealers, engineering centers, and manufacturing plants with Mercedes Benz. Felt tape is used everywhere. It’s useful, but as someone mentioned above, doesn’t look great. Mostly used for squeaks/rattles on interior trim, but also under hood.
Very curious as to how exactly the M-3249-BU “Upgraded half shaft kit” is upgraded... stronger, greater angles for the inner/outer joints.. all of the above?
Few thoughts, for the crafty bunch, this may be possible to integrate into a MIC hardtop, if that’s your thing, for way less. It’s not really that heavy either.

tops like these are nice, but we do camp at places that do not...
Funny, I’ve spent months reading everyone’s complaints about MIC top finish, and now complaints that they can’t get the top they hated. Whatever. I’ve got a VIN for my soft top 4 door order, and I reserved 9/22. No complaints here.
I think it’s a good idea to carry a plug kit and air compressor even if you carry a spare. Depending on the situation, it may be easier to plug the tire and inflate than to swap two 80lb(?) tire/wheel assemblies.
I don’t carry a spare in my car when I use it around town.
Just my pre -coffee thought, limiting torque via throttle or ignition if the torque delta reaches a predefined level.
I think the engineers know that the front CVS are going to break though, because there’s an upgraded version of them on the accessory list—

Wow good feedback, sounds like the air pressure may be why some people don’t have great experiences with them. I’d really like to replace the 315/70R17 with a 275/80R17 and the MTR is the only tread available in that size. The 275/80r17 specs out at 34.3” tall IIRC.
Thanks!
I’ve heard varying experiences with the MTRs. In your experience, were they at least OK on the street? Would you purchase them again, or suggest them to others?
