Not sure why you are rambling about Alabama. His bronco has 32" tires and a rear locker, so it's not a street car (or at least not advertised as one).No offense you say? Full of some weird stereotypes all through your post, particularly at the end. I've never owned a HiLift.
I have a 99' Disco on SFA/SRA on 35s with a fully modded suspension that I've wheeled across the Southeast for over 15 years. Beyond that, grew up wheeling LR and RRs that belonged to Dad; one being a Defender.
I'm Southern, Alabama Southern, so dirt is just what we do along with whipping everyone in college football.
There's no mall crawl here, but you can think whatever you wish. Who are you again?
This forum is full of guys who'll be doing this for the first time, some feel comfortable asking questions, but many don't. Even still, I don't want anyone to go out unprepared that kills what should be a fun and good time; particularly not because of pride and ego. So yeah, when you're new, cautious and informed, even overly so is a safe philosophy.
Further, a non-lifted Bronco without the proper tires is just as worthless as a stripped Wrangler on a trail, which is why real wheelers who own Wranglers don't take strippers down a trail! So, a stripped Bronco is just what it is, a street car, not an off roader.
Badlands ain't a cosmo pack and neither is a Rubicon. So, for those who want to wheel, best to buy it from Ford unless immediately planning to DIY before hitting the dirt.
So, if you wheel, the post wasn't for you, so move on since you just Ran KOH and came in 7th in your trophy truck, right?
He wasn't climbing the Rubicon trail solo. This was clearly a modest local trail close to his house, so his preparation was fine. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking that bronco down that modest trail solo. My point was you and many others make it sound like the driver did something wrong when it was clearly the vehicle not performing as intended.
