Bronco Shade Thrown - Really?

[C.Sco]

I think it's funny as hell and agree that too many people can't take a joke (see "butthurt" above). We have a 2013 LR4 and would love to put the "NICE JEEP, PEASANT" sticker on the back. Hysterical considering our LR is worth a fraction of the JLUR, but I'm too afraid some jackass will key the LR; or worse I'll end up in a road rage incident because they have no sense of humor.

I used to own an Audi S6 V10 that got about 11 mpg, and a Kia PHEV that got about 50 mpg. I strongly considered getting matching bumper stickers that said, respectively, "Hybrids suck" and "Gas guzzlers suck". Problem is, nobody would appreciate the irony besides me.

Maybe on my 4xe I should put one that says "hybrid gas guzzler"

I don't know if my '19 JLUR would have broken steering parts on the trail...







...I never could put up with the steering long enough on the highway to get to the trail :D


Loved my JLUR, hated the Bronco, ugly, hate the dash, etc. Then I drove one to scratch the itch and ordered immediately. Drives so much better I'm surprised I haven't gotten a dozen speeding tickets. JLUR gave me panic attacks over 50, Bronco I've had over 90 before I even knew it . If I could afford it, I'd have both, but with my driving, the Bronco is much better.

But I understand why people like one or the other and I have no ill feelings towards wranglers and their owners. However, I am enjoying no longer having to wave at every 5th vehicle on the road.

Finally can't we all just get along and hate on what really matters? - ANGRY GRILLS! Seriously, that %$#'n plague is starting on Broncos too

Looks like a good way to invite a torqued Jeep owner to run a key down the side of your nice ride.

Isn't there a Bronco forum for all you sad people? Bronco guys be like ?

 

[Rubi SoHo]

Didn't realize you were there? Lol.
Weird that my Bronco hasn't broke from "ruts in the path". ?

Gotta go somewhere where there are ruts in the path…

I kid, I kid.

Everyone in Wyoming knows it takes a Wrangler to break a Bronco.

You are all too serious. I'm sure it's intended as a joke. I think it's funny.

Yah that’s a lot of money to waste on a Joke. Bucked Bronco says the same about his goofy side stripe. But really.

That sounds like something was wrong with your JLUR. It shouldn't be THAT bad.

Mine is lifted 3.5" on 37's, and it handles great and feels totally safe every day when I commute to and from work at 80mph. Taken it up to 90 to pass cars a few times and that doesn't feel any worse really. And for the short time I drove it stock, it felt about the same.

Seems to me like you had some suspension and/or steering issues going on. Moot issue now since you've already sold it for a Bronco, but just wanted to point out that what you described isn't normal for a JLUR.

My thoughts exactly. My JLUR is lifted about 6" over stock height and on 40x13.5's. It can run 80 all day, and the only issue with hitting 90 is feeling like it's about to lift off the ground. Ground clearance is great for offroad, but the downside is the increased amount of air that gets trapped under it at speed.

I nearly bought (regret not) a Built (HP454, tons/ton TC, discs, whole schbang) 72 Blazer. The guy had class- picked on new Chevy Tahoe’s— lic—I EAT Z71–

Could have been - I had the steering box replaced with the updated box, and they also did the new damper at the same time and it made a huge improvement, but too little too late. I sis that a few months after ordering the Bronco. I also got the Mopar LCAs, but never got around to installing them. I need to post those for sale

Yes, oh yes, I'm quite bored today ?

Hmmm., well let’s see. Jeep has been in continuous production since what 1940? Bronco made an appearance in the 60’s, then upsized to a short wheelbase F150, then disappeared entirely for a couple decades…no thanks, I’ll stay with Jeep?. Remember the original Bronco was a lot closer to an IH Scout than it was to a Jeep (‘ course us Scout guys thought it was a poor copy….)

Don’t forget the first Bronco “Sport” from 84–90 . Sorry for the pic but it’s about the only place you can find one now- RIP

Pic taken here in San Antonio this weekend by a Jeep buddy from work. Quality not the highest due to being taken on the fly, but you get the gist. Seriously, Bronco guy? Sad, so sad...

Dont worry, that shit expires in a year, lets see if he renews it after owning it that long ???
