My buddy stopped by today in the new whip......

[SoCal]

a friend of mine text me the other day that he got the new Bronco...I was thinking oh boy, he got that little sport one, insert eye roll, then he sent me pic of it and I didn't believe him as I have yet to see one on the road yet...Told him to bring that thing over asap!! he stopped by today with it....although not the biggest fan of his wheel choice, I was impressed with the rest of it....he says he cant go anywhere without people trying to talk to him about it and I don't doubt it...one of the first ones here in Cali to get it.

Nice pair.

Is he on 18s? Larger?

So now the the two of you are going to split the cost of the heaviest jerk rope/strap you can find, and give us all an unbiased off-road review, right?

Hope you two can find time to go out and play, because that's really what it it should all be about.

Those wheels are terrible... It actually doesn’t look that much bigger then the Jeep, maybe wider (overall vehicle size, not wheels)?

I have to admit, I think the Sasquatch is an interesting alternative.

Jesus Christ he ruined that Bronco with those wheels.

I don't get the fascination with those tacky wheels, I see so many rigs on these on the road (and almost never on the trail). Looks like a monster rig otherwise.

yeah he put some 20" mall crawlers on there....35/12.5/20 Open Country's


Not a fan, but I will say they look better in person than what shows in the photos, but not my style...

He got the Big Bend version with the 2.7 w/o Sasquatch pkg said he paid like $42.500 pre tax

Unfortunately he was short on time, so we didn't get to compare the driving, but he really liked my leather interior and sound system compared to his cloth seats and standard stereo

His interior seem more spacious up front, but the rear seat leg room was much better in my Jeep.

That’s going to be a NO from me.

To be fair, how much time are either of you going to spend sitting in the back seats?

Hmm they honestly look a lot more comparable than I had expected. They look huge, but side by side the Bronco looks good.

@SoCal Nice stable of rides you've got, nice crib too! Well done
And were those wheels already on the vehicle as some add-ons or did he actually pick those out himself?

 

[viper88]

Wheel design is very subjective. The owner is the only person who has to like them.

Personally I would definitely have spent the money for those wheels and tires on the Sasquatch pkg and gladly paid the difference.

I like the OP's wheels a lot. They go great with Sting Gray. Personally I like the OP's wheels on his Rubicon MUCH more than the Bronco wheels his buddy has. I personally would not put those aftermarket Bronco wheels on anything. Not my Bronco or cash though.

Not getting it from that Bronco. Wheels aside, your JLUR looks way better. I think the novelty will wear fast if that thing is not the best off roader by far, which it aint.

Give me the tried and true Wrangler...there is American War history in the Wranglers...its an ICON...don't care about no other...thank you for the post.

Bummer about those wheels. But there are hundreds if not thousands of Jeep owners doing the same.
