I had 2 TJ's and a JK since '99 and loved them all, but I traded the JK on the Bronco a week and a half ago. There is no comparison, the Bronco is an all around better vehicle and once Ford is through the reservations they will be eroding a bunch of Wrangler sales. I would have liked a...

The VIN I have has been sitting on convoy shipping hold so long from the plant, I no longer believe that's the actual status--bet it's waiting on parts. And I'll bet it's way more than those 53k chip hold total vehicles waiting on parts. Chip hold = waiting on chips. Shipping hold = waiting...

It's built since almost 7 weeks ago now, but I'm on the convoy mountain, they won't ship it to me 😂 I want it, but I hope they clear out the ice mountain first (y)

Some people get shipped immediately. Others don't, and if it doesn't ship right away, be prepared for poor communication from Ford. Mine was marked built on 3/20, and still hasn't shipped via convoy just 6 hours from MAP. There's people built in January that still haven't shipped. They can...

Yeah the price on these types of trailers is nosebleed territory these days. The prices on them have gone way up in the past 5 years.

It wasn't that long ago and many of these types of trailers new were about $3k - $3.5k. Limited number of small manufacturers, building a specialty product in low volumes, and every increasing demand. Input costs now way up, labor up. And a dwindling number of small surplus military trailers...

Will do. IMO if you want a trailer like this definitely make sure it can handle utility duty, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket. While I use mine for paddling and camping a fair amount, the ability to strip all that stuff off and use it as a basic utility trailer for hauling...

Haha! Wow! One of my oldest vids. I should probably do an update to that one and actually describe everything, lol. I am surprised no one will ship to Canada. Have you looked at CVT's trailer or Ruger's trailer? Maybe see if you can find a surplus Canadian M101? That would be similar.

Nope, it's just the standard ball hitch. It's the tongue coupler on the trailer that extends in or out from the tongue receiver on the trailer.

Yes. If you can deal with the added length of a trailer when you are traveling, and you have a place to store it, it is the way to go especially if you have to carry multiple items. I carried 2 kayaks on my Jeep TJ soft top roof rack for many years. But as soon as I started adding to that I...

That's not a prototype, that's Dana's Bronco. They are probably getting their aftermarket D60 rear axle and a HD version of the front center section approved to sell through the Ford parts catalog. Dana does the same thing with their aftermarket axles for Jeep/Mopar.

Looks so good, can't wait for mine to get here. My favorite grille/headlamp and interior combo.

It's not doing too bad, all things considered. In 2020 it blew a rear main seal, and it was pulled apart about 3 times getting that fixed. I did the brakes all around that year as well. Early this year I had the front axle cleaned up, new seals, and ujoints. Now it needs a new thermostat...

It does better than the Wrangler JL in the frontal offset, it has a larger cabin that the JL, way more headroom, and side curtain bags. Bronco destroys Jeep in this area; the side curtains and the headroom are major reasons I'm not buying a JL instead. The Bronco wins here by a lot, IMO

I like this color but in certain light it reminds me of a Brute trash can. There was a Jeep color like that a few years back also, I couldn't pick it because of that. 😬

Almost bought a Ranger but I barely fit in it headroom-wise. The Bronco has much more headroom in both the front and rear seats. Bronco feels quite a bit more roomy inside to me, especially with the soft top.

This is my same dilemma. Want the Black Diamond, but am wrestling with moving to the BL to get the Sta-Bar disconnect. It would be a "nice to have" for me, I have always manually disconnected my Jeeps. Jeep's Rubicon disconnect is notoriously failure prone when it comes to mud and water...

If it were up to me I'd have one of each. I like them all. Keep my old JK, build it up more for the hardcore trails. Get a Gladiator and build it for long distance overlanding and camping. And have a Bronco for everything in between, and because I like it. I hope there is room for all of...

There is a way to try and split the difference between independent suspension and solid axle. Chrysler/Jeep tried this back in the 90's with an independent design that would also move the differential centersection as the suspension articulated: https://www.allpar.com/SUVs/lil-blue.html

The receiver is very similar to a Jeep JK and JL. Infact looks exactly alike. It is bolted to the rear frame crossmember, and as such is removable--and similarly you'll be able to add it if yours didnt' come with it. This also makes adding high-clearance rear bumpers easier. The bottom plate...
