Did you notice the Jeep has a WINCH?

It is even under an overcast sky - it is also unnaturally clean, a little road film and it is black.I don't know, but that Black looks Blue. This might be the rare case that Always Mostly Black actually looks blue.
I’d take a 4 door Bronco over any Jeep ever.So are the 4-Door Broncos
That's why I went with the mall crawler spec... I am disappointed that my OBX doesn't have a "Mall Crawl" GOAT mode!!! LOL.If Broncos become associated with the poser lifestyle like Harleys and Wranglers, I'm gonna be a sad sad boy.
I bought a '19 JLUR in January to hold us over until either our Bronco or Rivian arrives. My wife didn't even have an interest in one then, now she's fallen in love w/ it while I've been more on the Bronco side. We saw the Bronco in person this weekend, and my wife reaffirmed that she'd rather keep the Jeep for the following reasons:I mean honestly, who would buy a Jeep over a Bronco? Availability notwithstanding. It’s not even close!
More like, "I got it!! Lets stick a Hellcat motor in it!"I'm imagining the meeting at FCA:
"Ok boys, what can we do to make the jeep more modern?"
"How about led's on the fenders?"
"What about neon paint colors?"
"Halos rings on the headlights!"
"So we're in agreement! Nothing substantial, just more lipstick on the pig. Good!"
More like, "I got it!! Lets stick a Hellcat motor in it!"
That seems to be their move for everything.
I define "well built" as the art of the craftsmanship used to make the parts and assemble the machine. My only interest in H-D is an FLCH Police edition. I've looked at a few over the years to buy but haven't pulled the trigger. I ride a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate, which probably still walks away from most Electra Glides 22 years later. But as far as build quality I think the Harleys have it over my Valk. Now as far as engine design over a H-D twin, the Honda F6 is a gem. Multi-cylinder water-cooled engines just make more power than air-cooled twins in the same size range because of the tolerances water cooling allows.Define "built well."
To me, being built well means two things. First thing is being reliable, which is not something HD is exactly known for. Second thing is making good use of its displacement, which, unless making noise is the goal, HD is not known for that either.
HD deliberately uses a less effective design for the sake of that signature sound. They've realized they're in danger, so they're finally starting to adopt modern technology, but I still have no hesitation saying I don't think they're built well.
Love that Rivian R1SI bought a '19 JLUR in January to hold us over until either our Bronco or Rivian arrives. My wife didn't even have an interest in one then, now she's fallen in love w/ it while I've been more on the Bronco side. We saw the Bronco in person this weekend, and my wife reaffirmed that she'd rather keep the Jeep for the following reasons:
1) she loves the Jeep community and the whole ducking thing. (silly, I know)
2) the Sky 1-touch top blows away any of the Bronco top options. It's really awesome to be able to open or close the top at speed by pushing a button.
3) Bronco fuel economy is really disappointing vs. the Jeep, about 4 mpg less
4) she loves the Ocean Blue color of her Jeep and tan leather interior
5) the under-seat air vents and no rear seat armrest/cupholders w/ MGV aren't very appealing to my son.
While I love the Jeep, I was hoping my wife would fall in love w/ the Bronco. Oh well, happy wife, happy life!
