~"Serious offroading"~

[autotragic]

IFS... no big deal tho.

Yeah if a four-door Bronco can do it on what look to be factory 35-in tires because those definitely look like Goodyear territories which means they're probably stock because nobody in their right mind would put those jumk tires on after the fact I hope anyway.

Which means that trail can't be that difficult.

Some were on the stock territories some were on KO2s. My wife is driving in most of those pics. She is a club leader for the local Bronco club. She's a very skilled driver.

But just to say, in a few weeks it's getting a 3" lift and 37" Ridge Grapplers.

At least when you get the ridge grapplers on you'll be able to hear yourself think again. I've passed a few broncos with those tires on and hell in the next Lane over I can barely hear anything over the sound of them. And they don't even seem that aggressive I mean really I don't understand how Ford thinks those tires are a good idea I don't get it.

I have a feeling your wife will like it a lot better with a little lift and some bigger tires especially since it's a four door.

She definitely will. Were hitting up Sand Hollow a couple weeks later, she's going to be amazed just at the difference from 35s to 37s.

That said, im truly impressed at the stuff she has done on that Bronco on 35s. Having seen it in action up close for a few years now, I believe 100% they are worlds more capable than a 4runner, and stock for stock they can keep up with a Wrangler on way more than most people will ever give them credit for. Again, I don't think i would have believed it if I hadn't seen it for myself on a monthly basis over the last 3 years.

Yes, wrangler is better.

I still think a two-door hardtop Bronco looks better than my two-door hardtop Wrangler.

I wanted one just base model with Sasquatch but when I was ready to buy Ford dropped the base model Bronco. I knew I was going to be giving up some capability but at the end of the day a Bronco is still pretty damn good. And honestly I've always kind of been a Ford guy too.

I wanted a Jeep since I was pretty young but when Ford announced the new Bronco I held off just to see and I do like it.

Today I learned that level 7 or 8 trails "can't be that difficult."

Charilouleau Gap is no joke. Only damage I've ever got in the JT mojave was on that trail. It was just the plastic rear bumper but it only had 5k miles on it at the time so it hurt a little. Of course that was with a 2" spacer and 37s.

On that particular trip the bronco came out unscathed, other than the skids getting a workout.... my JL did not fare as well. Put a rock into my passenger door. My fault.

i'd think "Serious Offroading" involves increased likelihood of Loss of Life or Limb, and at the very least, the possibility of damage.

My most "serious" offroading was when I blew the transmission in my truck, had no cell service, in the winter and nobody knew where we were. We had to walk out of the woods to get cell coverage and my truck got left in the middle of nowhere for 2 weeks while I had to put together a (rather expensive) plan to rescue it. I feel like that was pretty serious anyway.

So kind of like driving on the freeway in L.A. but without the guns and road rage.

Yeah, no J**ps allowed, only Jeeps. I don't even know what a J**p is? Is it like a chinese knockoff or something?

He won't even answer why he does it which is super weird. Seems like a good guy but the whole J**p thing is super strange and makes him look like a kook.
