I’m on the fence. If I give up on the bronco, I will either stick with my old f150 or consider the tremor if it’s not 70K.

I got lost in Windrock when I was 16 with a bunch of Jeeps. didn't get cell service till 3 am and rescue was on the way haha. I want a SxS and keep my truck. That's an optionI've mentioned before that I dropped my first week reservation and bought a SxS. Been to Windrock here in Tennessee a couple of times already. Headed out again this weekend. About the time the roll out job one I should be in Utah doing Hell's Revenge and other trails. No hatred for Ford or the Bronco just decided this was the right move for me. Looking forward to meeting some of you later in the summer.
Go VolsI’m looking at 70’s- 80’s land cruisers
60’s-70’s Broncos
70’s-80’s defenders 110 over 80.
And a few international scouts.
this bronco is an extra for fun vehicle for me.
The closer this gets to 60+ k
The farther I get.
Just too many other awesome options.
That video was awesome. Brad is super detailed and thorough.Oh man, check out Trail Recon on Youtube. He just compared a ton of lift kits. Might help you out
So I'm an internet douchbag and a moron. Good to know...Oh no, you figured it out. I’m thwarted. Guess I’ll have to buy a Bronco now to prove to an internet douchebag I wasn’t a troll. ??
Moron.

Watch that IMS bearing if you don’t go Turbo...I already have a Gladiator Rubicon .... I’m going to find a used 997 generation 911 and put more cash back into my savings account.

Yeah .... looking for an ‘05 so I can actually swap out the bearing for an LN or EPS retrofit. The ‘06-‘08s went to the strongest of the three bearings but it’s still a sealed bearing problem is it can’t be swapped unless you tear the engine down. ??Watch that IMS bearing if you don’t go Turbo...
So your options are a bronco or a Mclaren?Unless Ford changes some things on the bronco like the interior choices, then I may back out on my order, plus the Gen 3 Raptor should be released soon. I do not want to cancel, but the only two options I see are canceling the order or continuing the order and taking the Bronco straight from the delivery truck to an upholstery shop for a complete new interior lol. In the meantime a Mclaren 765LT in Tokyo Cyan blue in the works. Here is what it will look like when completed.
I reserved 7/20/20... Prior to this most recent flustercuck, I had never looked at Toyota's site, Jeep's site, or Chevy's site. Today, I went through all three of them, looking at options.Ford has obviously jacked this Bronco rollout up with all their strange packages, colors, and prices. I am curious what you are now looking at instead of that Bronco you were planning on? I was day 1 res holder looking at 4D Base with Sas 2.7 auto, but probably not anymore. Please let me know what you are getting and why.
Lol no the 765 coming regardless but on the fence on the bronco order since its turning into a daily mystery what Ford does next with these things ?So your options are a bronco or a Mclaren?
seems like an odd problem to have. You may be alone on this one.
“Death Wobble” is not a Jeep thing - it’s a solid front axle thing (which Wranglers/Gladiators both feature). If your steering components are maintained and kept within tolerances you should not experience death wobble. Sloppy steering is also a byproduct of the SFA but there is a TSB that is supposed to finally bring the JL/JT into acceptable limits. I have a request in for my Gladiator.I reserved 7/20/20...

The 4Runner TRD Pro looks really nice, very capable and priced well - the only thing is, reviews make it sound like the V6 that's in it is outdated, as is the interior...
The Chevy Colorado ZR2 looks really nice, seems very capable, is priced well, and could be an option..
I'm leaning towards a Jeep Rubicon or maybe even a Gladiator, but I'd need to test drive one. i keep hearing about the death wobble with their front end, and that concerns me though... I don't understand how they can continue to be on the road (legally) if they are so unsafe though.
Honestly , the Bronco Sport Badlands edition has every thing I'd want, but if I'm abandoning my Bronco, I'm leaving Ford forever and will not give them another penny.
