Thanks for info and would appreciate some input on 2 door with 2.3 stick vs 4 door 2.3 with stick. I own a Jeep 2 door with the 3.6 auto and power has never been a problem. The size of vehicle has been the problem. Too small. Around town I can deal with the short wheel base bumpy ride, but...
Great overview. I am new to Ford engine and transmission tech/performance and have been trying to determine which engine combo best for my needs. So if I go budget build I guess it will have to be 2.3 with stick or if budget buster build then the 6 with auto. Thanks for your write up.
Let's hope that the Bronco (with sound deadening is quieter than Wrangler). My Wrangler came with soft top which was cool around town, but like being in a wind tunnel on freeway. I bought an after-market one piece fiberglass top (reduce leaks and noise from OEM) that is 100% carpet lined. Much...

I bought basic black Katzskins for Jeep from wholesaler in NY (not from Katzskins website so shop around). I paid $850. Was going to install myself (see youtube videos) so I bought pliers and staples, but in the end decided to have local upholstery shop install for $300. Dealers routinely...
You may not need a lift to accomodate tire in wheel well-no rubbing front and back of tire could be issue especially with front wheels in turning? You would just have to be cautious off road for limited up travel ? Wheel spacers could be used for backspacing issues to prevent tire rubbing on...
While I reserved a Wildtrak I think I will be going OB. 95% of my Jeep use is on road and I really like everything about Wildtrak except for 315's, flares and suspension. I will add eveything to OB to make it a Wildtrak except those items. Then, I will replace tires and wheels to 17's and...
Your LR's really beautiful. I looked at new Defender 110 as well and really liked it thinking I would keep my Jeep for just me adventures and the Defender for when the wife comes along. In the end I couldn't justify price of the 110 especially since dealers marking up. So, I reserved a WT on...
I have been married for many years. What's the secret friends have asked. I have embraced compromise. I love compromise. I eventually get what I want even if it's a compromise.
Reminds me of when I used to ride HD. My best friend and riding buddy's wife got an HD as well. When I asked which model he said that was the wrong question as I should be asking what color. As that was her determing factor lol.
The only reason I'll be able to afford one is because I have a wife. She humors me lol. (she likes the Defender 110 better, but the price .. the price)!
The 2 door has it's roots in the original Bronco for sure. Same reason I bought a two door Jeep. Plus, just like the 2 door Jeep, I think you could argue that the 2 door Bronco dimensions are more in line with classic automotive designs (when considering how Length, Height, Width and Belt Line...
Here's my take on the fully loaded Bronco vs a lesser equipped. The very most important thing as a first step and long term satisfaction is getting the engine and doors right. Then decide if you need sway bar disconnect.
I have a pretty cool two door Jeep that I have spent at least $10k+ on...
