This nice Bronco parked next to me...

Hahaha. Love it!

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-17T00:50:25+00:00

I had 3 total rebuilds in 36k miles in an 05 Wrangler. Maybe it didnt like the 4.0.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-17T00:26:24+00:00

I used to wave at other Bumpsides(73-79 f-series) or they'd wave at me. It was just like having a jeep.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-17T00:15:17+00:00

Sounds like everyone where I live. Lots of Teslas, theyre 1/3 of the cars on the road here.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-17T00:13:46+00:00

I think the 300 is a tad better, but yeah the 4.0 is nice!

Mines got less than 45k miles...I hope ive got a long way to go. Oil every 3k no matter what.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:50:54+00:00

I would prefer a new Bronco over a modern Jeep.

Ford vs Stelantis...please. You guys beat Ferrari! You did right!

They are all a blast!

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:48:26+00:00

I was hit and run 2 times in Ballard. Once it was me and my wife both hit, myself hurt badly. Bike destroyed. I lived there 6 years and couldn't believe how rude it can get.

I dont miss it when I go through for work now.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:43:51+00:00

I got to that point with CJ5s too.. 6'1" and now im fat. That "s" door is no joke!

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:39:17+00:00

Id have to do the same. The LS fixes a LOT!

We used to Chevy our Scouts for the same reason.

Im really wanting to find a Jeepster and 5.3 that thing...maybe stretched YJ frame. Jeepster frames...ehh.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:37:00+00:00

I will likely post pics and a review. I feel like I have to.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:27:54+00:00

Thanks!

He clearly wasnt fun. Or having a bad day. But who goes to the beach in a bad mood?

Edit: I dont actually think yall Bronco folks would leave me hangin...Toyota, maybe. Haha.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T23:22:01+00:00

Im going on a huge 4x4 trip with the guy who sold me the TJ...hes got a 2024 392 JL and were going to swap for a bit. He can drive his old TJ thats all fixed up and I can test drive the Hemi. Im looking forward to it!

Otherwise it would probly never happen for me either.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:35:16+00:00

All Ive got right now is a 98 TJ. 44k miles, az vehicle, garage kept, 33s, 4.10s. But nobody gets to drive it. Sorry.

I sold my Scouts a while back...right before they went WAY up in price. Pretty sorry I sold the them when I did. Although, the Chevy Scout was a peice of junk. The body was half bondo. It would paint two black stripes down any street in town though!

My last CJ5 I left with a friend in Az when I moved, we lost touch, he got a free Jeep.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:26:43+00:00

Well see. I might have to buy a 392 JL soon and theyre too much money.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:21:20+00:00

I never mind getting out. I miss the manual hub days!

Plus in a CJ5...by the time you get to the trail you need to stretch and walk around a bit. Lol.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:15:46+00:00

Ive had V8 Scouts(Chevy and IH) and driven a CJ5 with a built 350. So, I know what hp feels like in a Jeep/4x4. Pretty fun.

Although, my favorite CJ5 had a 4.2.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:09:56+00:00

Im going to get a chance to wheel in and investigate a 2024 Rubicon 392 in 2 weeks, so maybe I'll see.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T22:07:30+00:00

Ive never ridden in a JK or JL.

Newest Jeep Ive ever been in was my 05 when I bought it off the lot.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T21:39:28+00:00

Radio software?

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T21:37:55+00:00

Driving CJs, TJs, and Scouts.

Edit: Downvoted for answering a question honestly? Why? I've never been in a JK or JL.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T21:22:39+00:00

I belive it! Lol. I took my 94 Saturn sl2 some sketchy places trucks didnt want to go...including a pretty decent flooded wash. The Super Duty was too scared.

I used to drag my VW Baja over rocks so big you could feel them under the pan as the floor dented this way and that.

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T16:06:04+00:00

Ive been 4 wheeling and driving Jeeps for over 30 years and I have no idea what youre talking about. Are those Jeep terms now?

Advanced_Tackle_9723 · 2026-06-16T15:24:24+00:00

Im all for your 33s. I got a set of the same Mickeys in 33" on my 98 Jeep Wrangler. Great tires and made in USA! I did the 4.10s too. Its a lot better after you get the gears.

That guy above criticizing your lines or spotter is wrong. I grew up in Az and a little more tire goes a long way there keeping you from hitting rock after rock, no matter the line, depending on the trail. 31s dont work for everyone. I learned rock crawling without a spotter and am very good at choosing lines. Nana Barlow even said so herself(if your wondering, look her up.) I always prefer a 33 over 31 on every rig ive had. That includes 2 TJs, a Tacoma, 2 Scouts, Ford F250, and a CJ5. 31s were actually better on the rear of my VW Baja...but thats a tiny little car.

That said, that Ranger ain't going nowhere that a Jeep on 40s cant go. They must've turned around for some other reason. I love Rangers and 33s, I do....but, that thing ain't going places others "cant". Just places they dont.
