Looks good. Funny, that color is the most common I see. (I like it) Does it have factory skid plates underneath? Does it have a conventional T-case?

Very decent factory skids everywhere and an electronically shifted conventional transferxase with 3-1 low. I like the tcase but the fancy shit scares me. If someone works out how to get an atlas under one ill probably go that route. Rumor has it the base model broncos have a manual shift tcase.
 
My base model has the fancy t case that magically let's me shift into AWD while sliding around in the snow doing 60.
But for some reason you can't lock the front diff in 4H

Mine will let me lock the rear in 2H at any speed and my friends 2dr (same model as mine) can only be engaged in 4wd and then you can shift back to 2wd leaving the locker on.

I can lock the rear in any range no matter 2wd or 4wd.
The front only locks in 4lo.
 
7 lakes and 60ish miles off road. Nothing extreme but maybe just past the limits of a stock bronco or 4 runner

Gaia GPS let's you watch yourself get lost on the fancy dashboard screen.

The factory gps actually shows about every goat trail out there including hiking trails.... it doesnt however show which ones the bronco will fit on or which ones cross marked private property. We had a fun time exploring but wernt able to figure out how to drive to a couple points we were shooting for.
 
I've been out there a few times and it's super confusing. There is LOTS of roads to get lost on. From what I hear, you can make your way over and down to downieville or Sierra city.
 
I might have missed it (or forgot), but do your tires rub inner fenders?
Mine started rubbing in the rear. Had to cut off the bottom plastic piece on the front after it started catching while loaded with camping gear.

I was able to push the bottom rear part back as far as possible and stuff a tech screw in between the bumper and body to hold it in place

Someone’s Already Given the New Ford Bronco a Solid Front Axle

The old-schoolers love live axles, so it was only a matter of time before we saw one on Ford's new off-roader.

Do they have the ABS/stability control thing figured out yet? Ive heard that a couple of those solid axle Bronco's are all looks and no go because they cant defeat the computer system to keep them out of limp mode.
 
Look up Del Fab Bronco.
Solid axle that rips.
I've heard rumors Spicer or Currie is making crate axles, so I should probably start stacking ot
