Yep like that back view. Although from straight behind it it looked like the axle line sat up above the center of the wheel. But see that strange gusseting (I think that's what I'm seeing in this photo)... That could have been it, looked like portals hanging down off the side of the axles going to the wheel.Something strange like this?
ya even the 392 isn't going to keep up with that.. if i win the lotto I might pull the trigger on ones of those lol
those are 100% warthogs.. see the extra fender flares and how wide the axles are.. that will probably be the offroad suv in mass production when it's released.. your pretty lucky to have been able to see them in the wild and offroad.Yep like that back view.

EDIT: here is my shit photo, dated 10/19.
I don't know who they had driving those things, but no f's were given about washboard and potholes. I do wish I had followed because from where I turned around at there are only two ways out that I know of, up and over Webster or up Radical hill back to Montezuma. Radical hill is much more difficult and to me it is doubtful they would have gone up there. There is one side trail that I know, goes up to a mine then dead ends. But really I'm sure they either stopped at the water crossing and turned around the way they came, or they went up and over Webster. I was out alone, had ran Red Cone then went up Radical hill and back down, and was on my way home tired from a long day. Didn't really want to take on yet another trail even it was just Webster. But looking back... yeah I wish I had kept up the chase.
ya i know they actually have proffessional baja races on there development team. One of the engineers actually is a baja racer that went back and got an engineering degree. I looked at the bronco pretty hard before buying another jeep. But ultinmately felt the jeep is a better platform for me, that is tried and true, and a better value. But i know in 4-6 years when i might consider a new vehicle, that having both options will be nice... and the competition between them should bring some great product improvements over the next few years.
The 392 is a stopgap. I can guarantee Jeep has some crazy stuff up their sleeves and I’m sure Ford does too.
Problem is most mall crawlers don't want to claim they are one. You still have to market hardcore off roading to them. The overlanders and soft-roaders are experienced and wont feel inadequate getting a less capable rig if it meets their needs. Mall crawlers are a huge portion of the market though.
If i ever get to name a trail, I am naming it "The Mall" and I am throwing parking bumps all over the place
Doubt it will fit. The 392 HEMI barely fit.
I used to enjoy litebrite but they have turned into sales people and sales videos. Can’t blame them, I would do it if I could but really don’t put too much weight in their reviews. Ford has been very particular about the bronco videos released to this point. If the bronco ever makes it to production it will be fun to compare in the real world instead of all these goofy Ford setup videos.
...it is literally in production right now. They’re just building dealer display and review units until the end of may. Each dealership is getting a Bronco or two, if you look on YouTube there are tons of dealer videos from the past few weeks. The Bronco has only been delayed a year total since the program was greenlit in 2016, 6 months of delay in 2017/2018 for a redesign (original was too much like a Jeep)and a 6 month delay due to covid.
