I know this discusses the Bronco, but I need Jeep owners opinions please.
I will be one of the few getting a Bronco Raptor this year (was one of the lucky early reservations that got selected). First, I had initially ordered a Badlands Sasquatch to compliment my JLURD. When the opportunity came to order the Rapter, I jumped at the chance. I've never owned a specialized and limited edition version of any vehicle and to actually obtain one at MSRP is almost unheard of. So I have a few possible choices.
If I decide to keep the Raptor...
I could sell to highest bidder and use the proceeds to continue building my never completed JLURD and TJ.

I'm concerned about the width....we're rock crawlers and don't have much access to desert or open running. However I know lots of jeeps with wide axles that seem to do excellent.
I would really want to wheel this thing. Think it would be fun to have challenges with the JLURD (lifted and on 37's). Although being a unique and somewhat rare vehicle I don't think I will drive it as much or as hard as the jeeps, defeating the intention of the vehicle.
I have no intention of selling either jeep, so that leaves me with 3 off roaders. It's difficult deciding which one to take now when we can only take one. (I know...first world problems!)
Get the Raptor but wait for Broncos to become more available and trade for the Bronco I had origionally ordered. Although this still becomes the 3 vehicle problem.
I could simply trade it in for a large profit on another non off road vehicle (wife really likes the Grand Wagoneer)I could sell to highest bidder and use the proceeds to continue building my never completed JLURD and TJ.
