Then you could surely understand why somebody would buy a Porsche GT3 and never put in on a track?Thinking it's mostly life long sports car guys like me that have a problem with SFA. If your not rock crawling IFS with Ford's innovative sway bar disconnect is PLENTY capable for intermediate to hard trails. Some, like me, are buying a Jeep in spite SFA not because of it IMHO.
What? I understand Porsche would never use a SFA!Then you could surely understand why somebody would buy a Porsche GT3 and never put in on a track?
Point being the whole "2% of people needing/using it" mentality that a few on here or there claim as some excuse to kill off the die hard use of things.What? I understand Porsche would never use a SFA!
Think there is some miscommunication going on here? Less capable? My original post was simply to say I'd prefer IFS.Point being the whole "2% of people needing/using it" mentality that a few on here or there claim as some excuse to kill off the die hard use of things.
Like buying a Yamaha R1 and never putting it on a track or take it through a canyon. Does that mean make the bike less capable since only 2% of the owners will actually track the bike?
Then buy an IFS vehicle instead of trying to ruin a good thing?Think there is some miscommunication going on here? Less capable? My original post was simply to say I'd prefer IFS.
Funny, that's almost exactly how I ended up in a jeep... Except I was in a mustang and sure I'd replace it with a bronco. At this point I'm pretty sure I'm a jeep guy now... I've been underwhelmed by what I've seen.It's ironic, but back in 2019, I was 100% convinced my next new vehicle was going to be a Bronco. I never owned a Wrangler, but was underwhelmed by the rides I was given in them - primitive, bumpy, jalopies built for off-roading...who cares? I was a sports car guy that wanted a six-speed manual transmission daily-driver SUV to carry more people and stuff when needed. And no way in hell would I buy a Fiat-Chrysler POS. The Wrangler owners I knew literally had wheels fall off their Jeeps.
I just hoped that my Xterra would last long enough to get me to that Bronco, but it didn't, and I had to settle on a Wrangler, the only available and most similar manual transmission SUV to that old Xterra that served me so well.
Honestly? I couldn't be more thrilled with the Jeep. I have fun driving it down trails and it puts a smile on my face just getting groceries. I don't think I'm going to bother looking at Broncos for myself until the next generation. I'll still follow Bronco news, but just because I'm an automotive fan.
I'm not trying to ruin anything. Jeep isn't going to listen to me. Jeep has a SFA & I'm still buying one over the Bronco for several reasons. Honestly, enjoy your SFA but if the next generation comes with IFS it won't break my heart.Then buy an IFS vehicle instead of trying to ruin a good thing?
What is your issue with SFA?I'm not trying to ruin anything. Jeep isn't going to listen to me. Jeep has a SFA & I'm still buying one over the Bronco for several reasons. Honestly, enjoy your SFA but if the next generation comes with IFS it won't break my heart.
Loose seesaw steering which requires constant correction. But I'm a car guy so that should be expected. The Jeep will be my toy since I don't like boats.What is your issue with SFA?
Do you have the old aluminum steering box? Since the new steering box, I can't find fault in my wranglers steering (full disclosure, I did swap lca's as well, $80 and an hour or so of work).Loose seesaw steering which requires constant correction.

What psi is in your tires? Lift?Loose seesaw steering which requires constant correction. But I'm a car guy so that should be expected. The Jeep will be my toy since I don't like boats.
No, I'm still waiting on delivery but did test drive one. Planning to do a steering dampener upgrade which should help.Do you have the old aluminum steering box?

No lift, Recommended PSI on stock tires. One finger driving? Good to hear! Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.What psi is in your tires? Lift?
Mine is not loose and we have 80mph highways here. One finger driving.
