[@Silverback_GMT410]

I’m going to hate seeing the Bronco go. But a fully built out Jeep is a decent trade. Well explained transition from one to another.

[@jeffk464]

I wouldn't make the trade, brand new Bronco the in thing right now in exchange for an old wrangler. I've heard the 2024 wrangler is going to get a refresh so at least it will have all the new electronic gizmos the Bronco has, that would be a worthy trade. It would also give TFL the opportunity to showcase all the new stuff. You know the biggest complaint with the Wrangler is that it wanders down the highway, lane keep assist might make it a lot more pleasant. It will also probably get a similar camera setup to the Bronco.

[@Silverback_GMT410]

@@jeffk464 but what you don’t seem to understand is that they are going to be using the vehicle as a camera car, recovery car, and they’re going to bash it on some tight trails, one which everyone in the company can drive. And as they explained, they did everything possible with the Bronco. And financially it wouldn’t make sense to hold out for a new Wrangler.

[@jcmadrigal3431]

I owned a 2016 AEV JK350 and this video makes me miss it terribly! I can not say enough good things about that Jeep. I think $34k is a very reasonable price for the value of what you get. Look forward to seeing it in future videos.

This is hilarious. Last Friday I bought a 2018 JK Wrangler Golden Eagle. Two door, manual. Why? Partly because of re-watching all your Jeep content over the past 8 years or so. Drove 450 miles to get it and 450 home. Love it for all the reasons you just mentioned in this video. Price wise, paying $35K CAN for an as new rig that has never seen a dirt road let alone off road and has only 18K miles, leaves me thinking that I did OK. Thanks TFL for all you do. Education and entertainment all in one place. ✌

[@DodgeDurango-de5po]

Still have a difficult time comprehending vehicle prices compared to ten years ago. This truly is the new norm. With that being said, when you look how that jeep is equipped, you really did get an excellent deal. Awesome find! I'm really looking forward to future episodes as you guys test the full capabilities of this jeep.

Thanks to the ppl in government the cost of everything is very high!! Pure greed!

Not the government bragging about 10 billion in profit. Not the gov that now pays union less then mcdonalds not the gov that blamed workers for making too much and that's the reason behind high prices bc now they make less and vehicles are up 10k a piece for an iPad in the dash. It's the manufacturers ripping us off after they showed up in private planes and limos to ask the public for money knowing they would fail and re do all the contracts for less but make billions later all off us.

Smart buy, basically the same one I made a couple years ago with my low mile built JKU. You will have to likely replace the oil cooler and will have to keep an eye on the diffs/axles if those actually haven’t been beefed up at all. Still those additional costs down the road are nothing compared to the $$$ saved up front.

Nice Jeep. I've owned 5 Jeeps since 1997. 2 TJ's, 1 JKR, 1 JKS, and my current JLUR. I'll have to admit that I didn't like either of the JK's as much as my TJ's and I know I'm going to catch some smoke for this, but my JLUR is by far the best Jeep I've owned.

[@gwood69]

I’m surprised at the low mileage. Hard to find jeeps at that price with low miles. I think it’s a great pick up. Especially the AEV set up. I’m jealous of the cage. Gotta get one for mine. I can’t remember if they came with upgraded skid plates or not plus engine/trans skid

[@nydieselinfl]

I think it’s a great trade for the purpose of the channel. I bought my son a 2016 JKU Rubicon with just about all of the AEV gear yours has, but his is white and is doing the whole “storm trooper “ thing with it, and it’s a very capable vehicle. With 77k miles, picked it up for 30k even.

[@StarGateSG7]

For Tommy: Do lookup DARPA SHAPE SHIFTING WHEELS which turn from ROUND into Triangular-shaped snowmobile-like TRACKS at the touch of a button and back again to a Round shape with another button-touch. You guys can get one of your local builders to CNC machine your own or buy them directly from a DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) contractor. Since they were U.S. government-developed, they are public property and you can get CAD/CAM plans at a relatively CHEAP cost and machine them yourself. You can also contact DARPA itself and get an in-person driveable demo (i.e. usually installed on a Humvee!) from one of the local Army or USMC bases! Shape-Shifting wheels are the NEWEST WAY to get through all sorts of soft snow, ice, mud and sand. I also suggest you get a GREAT CAD/CAM artist to see if you can design and build retractible PUSH-THROUGH steel studs (i.e. half-inch diameter steel rods) that come in and out of holes drilled into the rubber tracks themselves so you can get through the gnarliest of icey and snow terrain. The tracks/wheels are actually a 2 inch thick belt of standard tire rubber with a good 3-peak winter-rated M/T tread design on them that are supported by a six-piece articulated hydraulic frame and piston mechanism that goes into multiple shapes from round wheel to triangular track shape. Press a button when needed and the steel studs come out through the tracks just like Cat Claws and another button-press they retract into the shapeshifting wheel infrastructure for on-road driving. Make sure the retractible steel studs work in ROUND wheel shape mode and in the Triangular-Track-shaped mode! Put these onto the Jeep, on the RAM 1500 or even on a Dodge Grand Voyager Minivan just for kicks to see what happens to off-road performance using DARPA Shape Shifting Wheels! If we can get MORE of the truck manufacturers to look at these types of DARPA SHAPE SHIFTING WHEELS and put them on modern trucks/SUVs and also sell them as refit-kits for older vehicles, we can bring futuristic multi-terrain 4x4/off-roading INTO THE HERE AND NOW !!!

The reasons given for this 'trade down' :) are legit! I do like the cage addition to the Jeep, good looking tires, whether or not that can 'keep up' with BFG's time and future runs will tell. Somebody's going to buy themselves a great Bronco here too.

[@brandonruhl1639]

Just about every all terrain tire out there is better than a KO2. KO2s require tire rotations like every oil change or they will cup badly. They are super noisy on the road and I’ve seen many mud terrain’s that are quieter. Ik lots of people that used KO2s and hated them. I recommend Falken Wildpeak A/T3W to anyone that wants offroad capability and great on road performance. They don’t cup unless you never rotate them and they are extremely quiet on road and they kill the KO2 in wet performance and winter conditions

[@ernestjohnson1807]

He actually traded up. That's how bad that bronco is. You must have missed the statement that the could build the bronco to be as good as the jeep. A 10year old fj is still better the anything that Ford puts out.

Great pick on the JKU, I’ve wanted to see just how capable an AEV set up is, so I look forward to you guys testing it out as well. I’ll argue it’s more capable just by articulation alone, as well as stronger steering components. Tommy, you know you wanted a wrangler back in the TFL family…just admit it…hahaha

Yup. More articulation plus ground clearance. The shorter wheelbase definitely helps with crawling as well.

Selling the Bronco, under 10k miles, while demand is high is smart business because, after all TFL is a business. I owned a 2015 JKU Willys for almost seven years and going to a ‘22 Bronco was a huge difference, especially in transmission and driving experience. For their use case, it probably makes sense to go for a used vehicle that fulfills their requirements and that’s great, for their situation. Everyone may have similar use cases but most of us don’t have the same requirements as TFL. ✌🏼

Anyone who puts Mickey Thompson Tires on their 4x4 IS A TRULY HARDCORE off-roader! They are expensive but WELL WORTH IT! I've bought a few in the past and they worked wonders for older 4x4 vehicles in mud, snow, ice, soft sand, loose gravel and big rocks. I highly recommend them for Jeep Gladiator Rubicon builds. You can get away with 40 inch Mickey Thompson tires on the Gladiator if you do a high enough lift with the KING-brand Liquid Suspension shocks package which are one of my favourites. The KING shocks are GREAT for 35 inch, 37 inch and 40 inch tires on Jeeps! Look up "The Story Til Now" channel which has great examples of the SEVERE types of off-road terrain you can go on with multiple high-end tire types! SPEND the money on REALLY good tires! BF Goodrich KO2's are NOT the be-all and end-all of tires. Lookup Goodyear Duratracs, anything from Mickey Thompson, Nitto Ridge Grappler and Nitto EXO Grappler. Those are getting into TRUE M/T tires designed for the most GNARLY of terrain! Anyways, this Jeep will be an AWESOME ADDITION to the TFL lineup ....AND.... I highly recommend a ROAD TRIP to the Nantahala National Forest lands in North Carolina and go right to the free-to-explore Bureau of Land Management roads that are right next door, in order to experience some GNARLY and RUGGED off-road terrain that may not be as high at Colorado, but is CERTAINLY just as rugged in terms of the off-road road conditions you can see. This means THE JEEP IS IDEAL for such a trip starting ANYWHERE between Rosman and going all the way EAST to the Tennessee border through some TRULY wild and lonely winding mountain roads and big off-road trails. Please also mount multiple GoPro Hero 11 cameras on the front, rear, left and right sides of the Jeep and record the entire trip at 1080p at 120-fps (frames per second) out to some USB-3 connected 20 terabyte hard drives ($300 USD) so that you can get CLEAR AND SHARP footage of all the deer, mountain lions and maybe even the elusive EASTERN BIGFOOT that is "known" to lurk in those woods! On google maps enter the below coordinate of the Eastern part of North Carolina so you UNDERSTAND what you can see trail-wise: 35.065882, -84.0991895 Mid-February to Early April is the PERFECT time to go because the roads are far less filled with people and the snow is mostly just 4 to 8 inch dustings at the top parts of some of the wildest territory around is available to be traversed and there are some GREAT campspots to test out the ability of the Jeep to hand the gnarliest of terrain!

[@Nooobbby]

Based on the video transcript, the speaker traded his Ford Bronco for an older Jeep Wrangler for several key reasons: 1. Content creation needs: They need to keep producing new, interesting content for their KZbin channel. They've done most of the possible content with the Bronco, and viewers might get bored seeing the same vehicle repeatedly. 2. Cost considerations for off-roading: They have some big off-road adventures planned through narrow trails with rough terrain. The Bronco is an expensive, premium vehicle in excellent condition, and they're concerned about potential damage. 3. Versatility for different drivers: They need a vehicle that various videographers and producers with different levels of off-road experience can drive on shoots. 4. Pre-equipped for off-roading: The Jeep they bought is already fully accessorized for off-road use and recovery, with features like a winch, lift kit, rock rails, and a reinforced roll cage. Equipping the Bronco similarly would be costly. 5. Affordability: At $34,000, the used Jeep Wrangler was significantly less expensive than the Bronco, while still providing the capabilities they need. 6. Durability and simplicity: The older Jeep has proven, durable components that they're familiar with, making it easier to maintain and less worry about potential damage. In essence, they traded luxury and newness for a more practical, already-equipped off-road vehicle that better suits their content creation needs and budget constraints.

I suspect the JKUR-AEV will be able to tolerate a bit more trail abuse than the Bronco. Big bonus is how many parts are floating around if needed. Does it have SpeedBump bump stops or something similar? That would really help it soak up the bumps and help the videographers get better footage.

I think this is a great recovery vehicle/chase vehicle and if it is used just for that there's no reason to get rid of it.

The Bronco was cool, but time to go. I like the JK with the add ons and somebody else took a huge depreciation hit. 👍🔥🇺🇸

From the frying pan into the FIRE 🔥

thought it was going to be a wrangler 392 with 37s but everyone is saying they are getting too many high end vehicles that are not practical for most of the folks. So they got something older and unique but it is practical with an aev twist. Cannot please everyone but I give an A for effort.

Put a splitter on the camera lead and put a switch in, put a camera on the front and you now have a front and rear camera. Oh TOMMY TEACH THOSE BOYS HOW TO DRIVE A STICK/MANUEL! They will thank you for it. Great video Tommy as always. I really liked your description of Nathan on a waterbed

You've had a good run with the Bronco!

That Jeep is a HELLUVA bargain from what you have shown. That is a LOT of stuff for 34K. 9 year old JK with all that gear/accessories that when new was 60+K lost nearly 1/2 its value one might say, but one never gets their value back from accessorizing. Costs to do all that now would be easily 40K. So, wow. TFL made a good deal there. IMO. Will be interesting to see how long it stays in the family. 😉 I would consider buying that thing with all that stuff on it for that amount of money and I don't even have a need for it. lol

That’s a dream Jeep. 35k is not bad in today’s market

I couldn't wait to remove the original Jeep U-Connect system from my wife's 2015 Jeep JKU. I couldn't disagree more; it was a terrible system. Especially the texting functionality with iMessage. So glad we upgraded the system to a Pioneer, which made the stock speakers sound far better.

I love the new AEV JK!! Can't wait for some lit videos
