Hello! While waiting for thie Bronco to come out my wife got the idea to build a little configurator page (she is a web developer on the side). I got my buddy to do the artwork, we purposely kept it pretty low-res and cartoony. I just thought it would be fun to share with you guys while we...

Thanks for the kind words! My buddy who is doing the images got confused and did not create all the tire sizes with all the suspension options, so some don't have tires.... He is out in the middle of the desert right now, I will have the rest of the images later this week (I hope). I will make...

Aww you guys found it. My wife and I are working on that. Not done yet, waiting on a few more images from my buddy who did the graphics.

Haha. Somebody on the web team has a case of the Fridays.

Thanks a bunch guys! I had always been under the impression that the most important thing was that a brand was specialized for a specific platform, but it does make sense to me that a brand can make good parts for various platforms.

Well that went sideways..... I am super duper excited about this. I cant wait to get the top off and be wheeling up in the Sierras. Hopefully next year.

Hello, I am wondering how important the scope of a brand is to you. Specifically, a lot of the Jeep guys hold brands that ONLY make Jeep parts in a higher regard than those that make parts for various different brands. For example, Teraflex and Metalcloak ONLY make Jeep Wrangler parts. RPG...

I don't know if Ford is going to need to compete in the way a lot of people think they will. The Wrangler has a solid axle, and for a lot of people that is the end of the story. On the other hand, a small portion of people who buy a Wrangler buy it because it has a solid axle. Many people buy a...

It may very well be the case that it will only let you left foot brake in 4 Lo or something. Similar to the sway bar disconnect.

I do not have a full speed version of that shot, sorry. dmtndan, As far as I have seen that render was only done of the two door.

Yep. Not a jk in this case. First day of ride testing:

Glad to hear it. It would be great if they did something similar for the Bronco.

Don't tell anyone I told you, but Ohlins might be working on some Wrangler applications right now... I am excited about new opportunities with new platforms as well.

Don't forget that the average transaction price of a new vehicle is around $39k. And this is not a commuter/basic transportation. These are enthusiast vehicles. Whatever starting price is I bet the average Bronco goes for $50k or more. Depressing, but I bet it's worth it.

I am assuming you attended the school? Feel it was worth it? Who were the instructors?

True, it's no fun at all when you have to replace broken parts. I was not aware that the premature failure rate was so high on the MagneRide dampers. If Ford specs some super fancy shock that overheats and blows seals all the time that would be a bummer. Chrispy, Those Bilsteins are a great...

You might not need to. Don't forget about Trail Control! https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2018/09/10/trail-control-brings-off-road-cruise-control-to-2019-f-150-rapto.html Haha! In all seriousness I doubt they would not allow you to left foot brake, especially if you are...

Yea I am guessing 32ish for the base. Yes the Wrangler technically starts lower, but you would have to special order it that way. I don't know if Ford will follow that methodology. I bet they include power windows, power locks and AC on all models, which will bump up the bottom end from where...

You know, these days $400 a shock is not bad. The common shock many people are using with their Wrangler lifts are the Fox 2.5s, which retail for $1500 a pair, and they don't have any fancy party tricks. The Live Valve Raptor shocks are $3400 a pair. The shocks are really what dictates how a...

This is pretty neat. Pretty sure every time someone has tried to assume some production facts out of a patent they have been disappointed. Lets try not and get our hopes up too much. Dont forget about what is actually in production right now though with the Fox Live Valve shocks. If you want...
