It's probably offset like that to avoid potential items on the roof rack/tie downs.

That said, I hate mast antennas and don't know why they couldn't have embedded it in the windshield or something.
The antenna is mounted that way because that is how it gets the best reception. Away from the "greenhouse " of the vehicle. Look at an 18-wheeler, the cb antennas are normally mounted like horns sticking forward from the big west coast mirrors. Better reception and longer range.

For the record I like the radio. But then again I'm old school.

All these new pics I want some more " ROCK RASH " :ROFLMAO:

I can’t find it now. but I remember seeing spy shot and the control arms had zip ties and bars hanging off of it to hide it all. Early spy mules. Like last summer
That weird shorty truck had a skirt on its axle hiding its private parts.

The placement out on the mirror arm is what we're talking about though - normally it'd be further in on the hood vent area or quarter panel.

I think that could be drivability test with additional weight on the bumper. Testing steel bumpers without changing the bumper.

But it works better on the mirror. And probably easier to replace down the road.

Like the title says, another camo covered Bronco. This came up on my Instagram feed. All rights/credits to respected original poster. I cannot wait for the reveal, watching the f150 reveal tonight to learn more about the infotainment system and anything else that will crossover.

Not the most scientific video, but I just lined up the rear tire as best I could. They look comparable. So based on this the Bronco MIGHT have a shorter wheelbase than the Wrangler which is exciting.

You think they are blocking a straight axle ?

No, and welcome to the forum.

any mention of SFA vs IFS outside of its designated forum gets you this...

Ford Bronco Bronco Mule Spotted Testing Off-Road Wearing BFG K02 Tires and Mad Max Bumper 10706B33-5BBB-4DE5-ADDF-A98E421FA789
I know this isn't the place, buy he may be on to something:
Ford Bronco Bronco Mule Spotted Testing Off-Road Wearing BFG K02 Tires and Mad Max Bumper 1593180918178

there is some artifacts in there that line up with something different than a traditional IFS and that silver LCA 'bar' just seems...off/not normal.

I thought the same thing at first but when you look how wide the lower a-arm is, front to back, it just seems to wide for anything but IFS.

I was pixel peeping that as well. If you blink or squint just right...It looks like some square tubing that's well in front of the control arm, blocking it from view.

Then my brain goes back to really long lower control arm.

Yeah looks to be in front of the tire to me. Zooming in on my phone.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Not saying either or is better just my opinion on what it looks like ! Either way this bronco has me thinking about ditching the mustang. Which i never thought i'd never do ! All aboard the HYPE train.
