2 Door FrankenRanger Mule spotted

Nothing too groundbreaking here, but hey, it's more Bronco stuff.

Looks like the same rear suspension as the 4 door prototype we saw last week but in a nice short wheelbase now. Not sure on the front if it's ranger stuff or the same as last week's prototype

I'm a little surprised they're still running the frankenrangers around, I know we're anxious to see a 2 door prototype. The article linked suggests the 2 door may not even be available at launch, like the defender is doing. Hopefully that's not the case!

Does look the same. Definitely a clearer shot of the panhard bar. Interesting cant on the shocks.

Can't quite make out the tire size. Looks like 31x10.5s maybe.

someone with photo skills can you take the 4dr we've seen, chop out between the rear of driver door and the rear wheel and shorten it then fit it onto this wheel base?

Some decent side shots at least, it should be possible to figure out wheelbase.

Why this ugly lump is still being used though...

To me it seems like these tires are larger than the previous 4 door spy shots show but that might just be due to these being more of an offroad tire spec?

and that article says that we haven't seen this mule before, but we were seeing this size mule a year ago, along with the 4dr mule.

I think so too, sits higher, tires look larger.

I think it's that these are proper AT tires, and the shorter wheelbase makes them look a bit bigger proportionally. When someone photochopped some length out of the 4 door prototype the tires ended up looking bigger.

they are, these are a 33" tire, and more aggressive than the A/T or street tires (32") on the 4dr we've seen the last two weeks.

an attempt was made, no math was involved, bad tracing because i could.

Wow so this is what you went with for your first post, huh. Three wiper blades? Are you trying to start a fight?

still well beyond anything that I am capable of. I can't draw a straight line on a drafting table with a straight end and a pencil using engineering paper.

I think the bigger issue is the placement of the wipers. I will only buy a Bronco with top-mounted vacuum-actuated wipers.

oh, is that an SFA I spy under there too? Guess what guys, I'm taking this as gospel. (kidding kidding, but due to all the flack I have to throw it into every thread.....now to go drop into the paint thread).

I love the BroncoBronco grill.
