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

[ZackDanger]

I thought the same thing but in this picture, there isn’t a caliper.

LOL.

Also, that frame is missing some other items that are supposed to be on a final Bronco.

Here’s the rear with the caliper in place.

Those are isolators that slip over the spring coils to reduce noise when the spring compresses as the suspension cycles. These are common on trucks with coil spring suspensions.

Hmm. I wonder if these would be part of the 10mm less suspension travel for the Squatch.

Look where jeep put the alternator.

Right where it should be.

does the Wrangler engine look like this too?

I'm sorry but this will be my first Ford ever .... Do all Ford engines look like this?

 

[Efthreeoh]

Yeah, so much simpler and more reliable than just adding a couple of cylinders...

If more politicians were from the engineering profession rather than the legal profession, we'd have vehicles with more cylinders and less hoses.

Just sayin'

All modern automotive engines look like this.

Great question, that is why I originally focused on them. Scaling the thickness of the isolators they appear to be about 10mm (0.394"). However, if these were the sole "spacers" that would infer the non-Squatch trims do not have isolatiors, which @Potatomafia says "are common on trucks with coil spring suspensions."

To be honest anyone thinking about putting this bronco in the barn better think twice that mess of hoses and wires is like crack to mice and they can cause so much damage.

They do make a device that hooks to the battery that emits sound and strobes to drive them away never used it though.?

Yeah, my first reaction to the engine pic was, "Man, the rodents looking at B6G are right now doing the happy dance." Time for peppermint bags from Tractor Supply...

Anyone else want to marvel at the size of the transmission and transfer case? These bitches are massive.

 

[BroncoRevital]

Awesome but good god the engine looks like Medusa. Can there be anymore snakes, I mean hoses?

Ford has always had crowded engines but damn. Is there even an engine under there?

 

[FATHORSE]

Twin turbos need alot of hoses! I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, to see this suspension vs the Base one that is standard on BASE, BIGBEND, and OUTERBANKS. I really consider doing FOX Shoxs and new wheel and tires through aftermarket.

 

[dgorsett]

I've never had anything inside, just in the engine compartment. Mouse trap hit a squirrel in the head once, killed it, but I didn't find it for a couple weeks, not pleasant.

So, with these nice detail shots can anyone, maybe LEGEND, tell definitively if the Bronco has IWE. Maybe on std transfer case and not advanced?
