Bronco delivery...

Hopefully its coming soon.

 

I am completely unimpressed by the new Escape. Hopefully those with money in it like it !

 

I dont care for the Sport Bronco either.

 

Ford has really upped their trolling game. My Bronco was shipped Oct 5 with an est. delivery of Oct 18-24. So far it is AWOL.
I did get this cool picture yesterday though of when they rolled it off the production line back in July.





I've got Toyo 255/80/17s waiting to go on and I have the Badlands suspension ordered to replace the stock suspension. The Badlands has the most travel of all the factory options and I was able to get all 4 coilovers for less than $1300 new.

 

Finally!
Got it home this evening. Hopefully will start replacing suspension next week. Just waiting on shipping.

 

Those 2dr Broncos are nice. That's probably the only vehicle that could replace my RC. I'd still like to see Ford build a 2dr Bronco with an open bed.

 

Not much room back there. I will be removing the back seats so I have room for gear.

 

What are those things on the hood for, limbsavers?

 

Tie downs or attachment points for whatever. You can replace them with level inserts if you don’t like them. Not sure I’ll ever use them, but you never know what you might need to tie down on your hood.

 

Removing the rear seat would be cool. I was thinking a longer wheel base 2dr truck. The bed would probably be narrower than a conventional midsize pick up. If ford could find a way to work the Bronco grill and that optional bumper into the redesign of the Ranger that could be cool.

 

Oh yeah, The 4 doors have narrow doors and the 2dr has a wider door, so the 4 door length body with the longer 2 doors with removable cab would really be cool. Probably wouldn't sell many, but I'd want one.

 

Maybe for a canoe on the roof surely not something on your hood. I've seen a bar that runs across the hood that attaches to them for fishing rods, but it looks silly as the rods arent even facing the correct way unless you are fishing up and over the roof.
Nevermind mind. They are in fact "limb riser" mounting points. (My term was wrong).

All kidding aside, Ford calls these "Trail Sights" and they are rated at 150 pounds of pull force. Ford intends them to be used to help you maneuver the Bronco in tight spaces and use them to put on limb risers, tie-down a kayak, etc.

Kinda neat feature.

 

2dr is pretty small inside, so I figure I could use them to tie down a body if push came to shove. Who knows, might come in handy.

There were several things at SEMA that bolt onto them, but didn't seem really practical.

 

Got behind this 4 door a couple weeks back.
Not my choice for wheel/tire combo. And that plastic window is a hot mess. But Would make a nice utilitarian vehicle if set up correctly.

I chose my "18" jlu rubicon for that reason.
Plus, im a single guy so 4 doors, more whores.

 

SOS Concepts said they plan to make sliders for it, so I hope they do as I really like the ones on my Tacoma. BAMF plans on making a rear high clearance bumper with swing out tire carrier, which I also plan to get. I hope to continue to buy for the Bronco from the same people fueling the Tacoma.

 

good looking truck! sucks it took so long to get it but it looks like a blast to own

 

Nice. His shop is just a few miles south of me.

 

Got some new Camburg rear trailing arms with uniballs, but have to find a friend with a sawzall to cut one of the bolts off. It's either drop the gas tank or cut the OEM bolt, so I'll be doing some cutting. I have the Badlands Bilstein coilvers ordered and should have them in soon.
