Well, as much as we all love our JL's we also have to admit there's some things about them we don't like (corrosion, ESS, windshield replacements, etc etc)! Can't wait to see it!
I put a windshield film kit from grab-gard.com that I'm hoping will solve the constant broken windows.

I live in an area with no snow, so shouldn't have a problem with corrosion.

So now I just need to solve the ESS. I've seen people put a little thing that pushes it on other cars every time it's started, maybe I can find one of those...

For everything I hate about the JL, there are 10 things I like.
For everything I hate about my JL Wrangler there's about 20 things I like. 👍
I love my Jeep Willys XR.

Even Ford know the average person is not going to wheel the Bronco.

How can Ford make the Bronco worse at off roading. I know lets add a factory hitch that destroys departure angles.

Lets be honest. The average person doesn't wheel Wranglers either.

Also that picture is NOT the stock Bronco hitch. People wheeling their Broncos know better and wouldn't install a hitch like that. And they certainly wouldn't be running those wheels. That person is clearly not off roading with his or her Bronco. 🤣

This is the real Factory hitch with toe package and trailer wiring hook up.

@JeepViking13 one thing that I've noticed when watching Bronco videos is the incessant warning buzzers going off. Are those buzzers really as bad as they seem?
Yes, it is a Ford thing...

I haven't noticed anything super annoying. It's got Sync 4 so it asks if you want the text message read out loud everytime one comes through. The cabin is actually a pretty nice place to be honestly.

Just about every Bronco rock crawling video I've watched starts with a crapload of alarms going off. Maybe they've adjusted that.

That was a batch of bad 2.7 lifters from a 3rd party supplier during the pandemic. That has since been resolved.

The 2.7 has been out for many years in the F-150 with a very reliable record. One of the few domestic turbo engines that's estimated to last 200 to 300k miles.
