Itll go through anything I ask, snow pic is not stuck. My truck has sadly been down for a couple years now with a complete rear end overhaul then racing consumed me and the ranger got forgotten about.

Any pictures of that ifs in action? I know a solid axle can flex lol.
I hear you on having a truck down. I just sold my jeep like 4-5 months ago because i hadn’t driven it for like a year.
Here’s an older picture of my junk before
I painted it.

I have a shitty photo collection as most was lost on my last phone, only have whats on instagram, the front will flex similar to what a stock jk will do although my rear flexes so damn much and is a much softer rate that I need the rear to max before it'll start flexing the front and it is NOT easy to find anywhere that will max out my trucks flex. Maybe this year I will put it back together and find an RTI ramp.
OUCH, what did you drop on your toe? Or is that the onset of the Coronavirus?
Have to take into consideration that they may be targeting the overland crowd more so than the crawler crowd, which if I'm not mistaken, pretty much all of the overlanders are all IFS. So maybe they were trying to hit multiple target audiences with this but not even the last gen Broncos, the 1995 I have, has a solid front axle and people make them work for all kinds of applications. I dont see it as anything to get hung up on really. If it doesn't fit your need for crawling then go buy the Wrangler but those types of consumers aren't going to make up enough of the buying base to keep the Bronco around.
Not my toe .. thank goodness.
Sorry you feel I am being negative Nick. Perhaps I wouldn’t be so negative if Ford had a Better line up of vehicles that interested me. Other than mustangs the choices from Ford are pretty limited these days in the car sector. I do realize that as a dealer you will defend Ford to the death but as a consumer and life long Ford guy I find the lack of choice, be it vehicles, engines or transmissions very disconcerting. I understand that it’s all about dollars and cents but the hellcat has a manual option and the gt500 doesn’t. Someone commented that the Bronco will have more than enough power with a V6, maybe so but at least give me the option of V8 power and let me be the judge of what is enough power. I get to choose Where I spend my car buying dollars and right now I chose not to purchase from Ford.
So you're telling me every trim level of the wrangler has the same suspension? When was the last time Ford released the performance version of a vehicle the first MY? The Bronco at Baja shows that they are in development of a higher performance version.
!965 Mustang had the K code engine available. Just sayin'
As far as I know, yes, the wrangler is only offered with a solid front axle. This shit should be standard, you shouldn’t have to pay extra for something that should be standard on a so called off-road vehicle.
"Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?"
Sport is hideous.
Bigger one has potential.

IFS is far superior when desert racing.
You need to quantify what type of "off road" you are doing as well. Not everyone wants to crawl over big rocks or slog through a mud pit.
The Raptor has beat out the Power Wagon repeatedly on a wide variety of off road tests. ZR2 and Tacoma TRD also take the Jeep to the cleaners many times for off road prowess.
I have a Raptor I drive 3.5 miles to work and back every day, that's about it. Been looking at Jeeps, just want something I can take the top off and take my family to the beach in the summer. Also have a 2007 GT500 that doesn't get any use I've been looking to dump, get a DD and keep a Jeep as a 2nd vehicle. The Bronco has my attention. I won't be making any moves until I see official pictures and pricing.
That is definitely super recent.
So the the base model Wrangler has the exact same suspension pieces as the top of the line model?
the base model and top of the line model both have solid front axles. The base model has had a Dana 30 axle up front and a Dana 35 axle in the rear. The top of the line model, the rubicon, comes with Dana 44 axle up front and I’m not sure about the rear. All the front axles are solid though.
Fair enough. When I talk about off roading, I am normally implying the common off-roading people are doing like some rock crawling and mountainous trails that are both real muddy and filled with rocks.
desert racing and ultra 4 type off-roading really no one is doing except the people that get paid to do it.
Lies.
Just because YOU are not into it, doesn't mean the rest of us aren't.
SAS is the Carburetor of the truck world.
Lots of debate on the Tacoma forums about SAS vs Long Travel builds, and unless you're building a dedicated, trailered Mud Pig, LT is the way to go.
And as been said to death, "most" people mall crawl so highway manners, gas mileage and ride comfort are top priorities.
I'm not defending Ford's new Bronco, it's just a re-bodied Ranger. We already know the ancient Tacoma out performance the Ranger.
Logic would then indicate the 4Runner would then also out perform the Bronco. Scary thing will be if the Bronco is priced like a 4Runner (aka $40-50k).
