Is it just me, or does anyone else see these threads and think " wrong forum."?
Some of the Bronco stuff may apply. As off road parts come out for it they may be compatible with the rangers.

So yes Lite Brite can be a little annoying to listen to but they do have some pretty good videos. Here they take their new bine stock Bronco on a #7 rated trail and it surprisingly does very well. At the 30:00 minute mark you can see where the IFS really shines and how well the Bilstein suspension soaks up the bumps. Climbing the Chute at the end was also very impressive!
I think the best part is they still have the dealer tags on. I once watched a guy flip his 911 through the woods near Fallbrook in San Diego - dealer tags still on.

IIRC they just picked this up in OH mid December so they still have the temporary tag. They almost ripped off the whole license plate bracket backing it down. lol I guess they make so much money with their videos and merchandise they don't care what happens and it can be replaced easy enough. But it works because they have 46,000 views and the video just came out 11 hours ago.

I admire their willingness to demo the Bronco, but there is no way I could buy that with my own money and do that. thanks for posting the video - I want that drivers side handle on my Ranger!

I'd never do that either! I'm nervous when off roading my Ranger now because of the parts constraints. It would be my luck I'd brake something that's backordered for months.

Those grab handles are sweet and I'm hoping they have these in the next gen Ranger. It would only mKe sense since they're both made in the same plant and the parts would already be there.

I feel the same way about people on here. I put them on mute. Lol
I generally don't around here. I figure MAYBE they might have something good to say one day.

Plus then I'd miss all the "fun."

I would assume a Bronco can since a Bronco Sport made it through Hell's Gates.

As they stated in the video , it's not that a vehicle can make it through but how it does it and how many times can it do it before things start breaking .

They also make a tonne of money on Youtube videos, because they hammer their stuff and break it. I wouldn't want to spend $5K on my truck every time I go off road, but if it generates $50K in income that's different.
