FORD BRONCO vs JEEP WRANGLER - Can It Rock Crawl?!

[AzScorpion]

I think Dave's brand new Jeep is gonna be built and delivered before I get my old YJ put back together.

Way to go Jeep.

You'd better hurry up it was built on 12/23/21 and on the railcar now to IA. Should arrive there by the 19th. ?

You'll have me beat.

I'm hoping to have mine ready by the time my oldest gets her license. ?

Probably March/April ish.

You should said "before Dave gets his Bronco". You're oldest will probably be married by then. ?

Excuse me sir. She's not dating till she's 40.

I'm sure you'll have a Bronco by then.

We never had many places to wheel back east either. I've always had a F150 but mostly because of the winters, snowmobiling and the muddy job sites I was on. Out here you have endless desert riding and just 90 minutes away is Sedona where there's tons of decent trails. That area is littered with Jeeps though, you can throw a rock and hit a dozen different ones. lol

I have a friend who owns a fruit orchard out there and I'm planning on meeting him out there this fall or next to hit the trails near Sedona.

That'll be a fun trip. Let me know when you do maybe we can meet up there, it's only 90 minutes from me.

What's funny is in my area, soccer moms are the only ones who drive Jeeps.

That's mostly true here too. 80% of SWB jeeps are 20-35 girls, 4 door means a baby seat in the back. There are a few beefy Gladiators kicking around here lately, but mall crawlers with over-land design for the street credit.

There are a few built jeeps around, some Tacos, Frontrunners, GM & ford 1/2T. I've only seen 1 Canyon that looked to be genuine wheeler, haven't seen many modified Rangers around, nothing built for off-road yet.

It's a drawback to Canada, snow, rust, & humid weather. I can't have a bunch of vehicles sitting around for a few months of summer wheeling adventures. Drive them regularly or things cease. Indoor or weather, rodents and rust. If I lived in the desert I'd have a few of beastly Jeeps.

Yeah I'll need a local with some experience on those trails for sure. Coming from Illinois, we have dirt, harder dirt, softer dirt, and mud for our choices of off-roading. I actually want to give the Arizona BDR or the north rim trails a try.

And yet all the Ford engineers couldn't figure this out. It took a off road garage rat to fix something that should come from the factory like this. But hey what da ya want for $50K ?

I know I know but the exact same thing happened with the wrangler steering in 2007. Stuff just happens.

I know I just wanted to see what you'd say. lol ? At least there's a fix for it and hopefully Ford sees this and addresses it.

Weeeel I bet everyone can guess which one had the problems.. I hope this is ok to post here on the Ranger5gJeep forum we have these days..
