2021 Bronco chassis closeups (frame, suspension, axles, hubs, engine) ???️

OMG. They are putting the parts on upside down...That will never work...

At least they have the foresite to flip em upside down before putting the bodies on. Unlike another manufacturer. Cough FCA cough

Alternators can be submerged. Its not ideal, but really its not ideal to submerge any part in muddy water.

Have you personally submerged a running alternator in muddy water? Because I have. And I can tell you for a fact, they don't like it.

Normally I wouldn't be concerned but they are advertising the Bronco as ready-to-go so I expected some strengthening in exposed areas.

This is a rock that tipped up and caught my cross member on an otherwise unremarkable section of a trail. It made a mess of some pretty thick steel plate and tubing.

Don't get too caught up in the advertisement. KTMs say "ready to race" but not a single KTM comes with suspension set for my weight. Still fantastic bikes.

And yeah its always the boring sections thatll get ya.

Yeah, like I said its not ideal. But its not an automatic death sentence. Same as wheel bearings, belts, radiator fans and so on. Mud tears shit up.

I feel they shorted the engine on hoses. Please add at least 14 more hoses Ford!

I'm hereby referring to the 2.7L V6 as Medusa.

HOSS suspension non BL, its the only one that has the shock reservoirs

Alternators are cheap just carry a spare

Scaling the 5.5" lug nuts, the distance from the tire mounting plate to the knuckle is about 8.75", and closer to 8.5" to the control arm. Right on top of my estimations. Going to be able to fit pretty beefy tires on stock rims, and even beefier tires when you shop aftermarket rims (which will undoubtedly have a lower offset than +55 from the factory)

These are great shots for looking at larger tire fitment on non Sas Broncos. It is going to be super easy to add lifts and they really pushed the top control are out of the way. Ranger guys are going to be jealous of this set up. It really is only the crash bars that hold back adding 34" and bigger tires.
