Honestly, stock trucks doin real stuff shows a lotta confidence. Even if Iā€™m not in the position to throw a $40k truck onto rocks like that, it makes me feel like I will get my moneyā€™s worth when the truck becomes truly just a toy down the road. Worth keeping for a long time. Awesome vids. Thank you
Those trucks could easily have more than 100K on them

These videos are evidence for anybody who doesnt think they need atleast the Sasquatch 35s. Its +35" or your undercarriage. These, even the 2 door, are long heavy modern rigs, with low hanging fruit. If you want it to wheel like your EB with a 6" lift or your spring over cj you are going need 35s or bigger and every bit of lift ford is willing to sell ya. Bring that yellow rig with the 37s and the door window out here on the trail. It will show em how its done.

Pretty awesome a stock rig can make it through some stuff even if it drags ass over everything. Love them lockers.

Keep these videos coming. Can we get some high speed in car runs next? Maybe some mud pits and rutted powerline trails somewhere? Get em down and dirty in Appalacia.

Am I the only one that watches the videos and think "meh"? Kind of just looks like a slightly less capable Jeep.
Yes. Stock vs modified. I still havenā€™t found a stock Jeep video doing these sections of the rubicon.

Yā€™all rock crawlers are crazy; that looks awesome and Iā€™d love to go spot and watch, but Iā€™m new to all this and canā€™t believe the terrain these things can go over. I just want to camp somewhere remote and drive fast on the beach and dunes.

Hot Damn! Now Im really debating if I need SAS... Yes... Yes I DO! Need to see it in action. Going to stay with the BD and just manual disconnect like I did in my 06 LJ. Never ran 35s super excited.

I noticed in the first video, he is switching on locker on the dash.
Right! Forgot that it was electric.

NOTE: If I sound stupid -- then blame it on being the morning without the coffee kicking in yet.

Isn't the 4 Door spec'd as a Badlandlands on 33s with (Sasquatch Package) 4.7 final drive ratio and a Manual Transmission?

Maybe they're listening....
the badlands Manual comes with 4.7 gears without Squatch

I'm thrilled that they are beating the crap out of this thing! Gives me hope it can actually survive a trail.

That clip shows what a locker can do that a "limited slip" differential can't.

Same chassis though so wouldn't it have the same effect, except for a touch more weight over the rear?
Mine is a 2008 so different chassis, terrible suspension, terrible tires, with zero weight on the rear. Quite confident the Bronco will fair better.

I was impressed considering it's stock IFS on 33's. For some of us, off-road use is much MUCH more than just going 0.2 MPH over giant rock gardens.
Yeah, the random really steep road/driveway intersection . #IKnowWhereILive

It was good to see that the CV joints on that IFS front end will survive even when you put the power down with the steering wheel cut hard.
