Bronco owner goes off-roading…on a dirt road… 🤦‍♂️

The stuff I find on YouTube…

I know huh!

The video preview shows him on a wide ass dirt road, passing an oncoming Ram pickup...followed by a Subaru wagon... 😫 He then proceeds to show us how to remove the plastic bags over the Bronco seats!

He would shit his pants, become impotent and die of a heart attack on a moderate trail...

So after selling the '20 JLURD...looking at my options:

1) What I want...
Willys JLU Manual 6 cyclinder with a trailer package $42,615

2) What my 5 year old wants...
Bronco 4door Black Diamond Manual 4 cylinder hard top standard trim with trailer package $42,085

3) What my wife wants....
Subaru Crosstrek Sport with Option package $29,947

I probably have to buy #3 anyway regardless if I buy #1 or #2....so if I can live with #3 then I save $42,000 :)

If you are going the Subaru route, see if you can convince her to go for the Outback. It's a lot quieter, more comfortable, cargo capacity is massive, and just a bit more money. My wife wanted a Crosstrek because of the damn bright colors. The 2.0L was a deal breaker anyway, but it would be more tolerable now that they offer the 2.5.

I like it. It's nice to see a lower model Broncos, and the Big Bend was the one I was going to get (2 DR.). I hope he at least added the rear locker.

We all have to start somewhere, and he looks genuinely excited and happy with his Bronco.

Sure. I’ll give him that.

But his youtuber aspirations seem more ambitious than his off-roading.

What off road trail? Skimmed through it and he's worrying about which mode to put it in? What a nerd.

The best thing anyone new to off-roading can do is join a group of more experienced drivers hitting the trails. You will learn the dos and don'ts on the trail more quickly.

You will also learn that not everyone spotting you has your rig's best interest at heart... 😫

Or watch a YouTube video of people off roading.

Is that Jeep MSRP? Because you should be able to find 5-8% under op invoice.
