The Ford Bronco Is Actually a GREAT Rock Crawler, Kinda.

[@bendmacmanufacturing2744]

My 2021 jeep Rubicon 4xe rides nice , it's my first and I have not one complaint in 8,000 miles !!!

[@rudy4370]

Ben needs to put his crocs on sport mode 😂

[@gogerwi]

The Bronco excelled on the gravel road to the trails.

[@RyanRKJ]

Nice, no nonsense Bronco wheeling video. It was a little heavy on the cuts I guess, but at the same time, I appreciate you keeping the video nice and short. I think you found a decent balance.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Short cuts seem to help the video do better. Keeps people watching longer from what I can see in my video analytics. Unfortunately more work for me during editing lol

[@michaelexline5382]

Very nice, glad to see the Bronco out in the wild. Checkout what lightbrite did for there Bronco rails to prevent that kind of damage.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

It did great till it didn’t! 😂

[@arloweyers5432]

Y’all are way cool and I’ve been watching both your channels for like 3+ years. There is one thing. Y’all need to stop calling Utah the west coast. That is the desert 🏜. Oregon, Washington & Cali are the west coast 🌊

[@Allianceoffroad]

Bronco's are good for mild dirt roads,,go fast stuff. Just too much work to make a good rock crawler. Good vid keep the Bronco for hauling kids/groceries and get the LJ out for legit wheeling.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Gotta show people that! The bronco is really cool, but it needs 10-15k in aftermarket parts to really be comfortable in this type of wheeling without destroying itself into a tin can

[@15jwrangler]

@@JeepGearGadgets Great vid!! Nice to see a vid that gives pros and CONS to the bronco and doesn’t just hop on the bandwagon! Bens comments were awesome! Bronco nation needs to know this! Hahahah

[@hotrod7603]

Same for the jeeps excellent grocery getter , this is a base Bronco sas not the top badlands which comes with skid plates and other off-road goodies , These boomers literally are the most cringiest

[@15jwrangler]

very impressed with the non badlands trims on these. can't wait to get mine... been on order for 6 months, i have a bad feeling i have 6 more months or more to go.

[@stephencarbajal5657]

What's the difference between their model and the badlands? I believe the badlands has a sway disconnect.

I like that your tag line is to keep Jeeping classy. Even with the Bronco 😎😁

Well good thing the damage is only on a Bronco. Keep taking care of that Jeep!

Ok wait…Ben did you lose weight? You look great man. Time for bronco lift, but it looks like it Performed well. Thanks for sharing.

Just cut out the rockers and weld in some 2x6 steel like us XJ folks do.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Makes sense!!

[@Ava61809]

Enjoyed the video. That did really well for a stock vehicle. Do you have any skid plates? Any undercarriage damage?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

No skid plates. Figured we would wheel it as it is… Jeep puts skid plates on the fuel tank for every model. Ford says the bronco can wheel, so we took it out stock. Just wait until you see what underneath looks like… Ford should have taken a look at wranglers for protecting everything under it lol

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

@@JeepGearGadgets You ain’t kidding. It’s concerning they don’t even include a gas tank skid on the 4dr. Comes standard on the 2dr.

[@adventuristnw2321]

It did really good for what is an unmodded but with some good factory options. Sucks about the damage, but it was a fun video to watch!

[@205mikey]

Yea both jeeps were modded. So a little lift and bigger and better tires I think it would do a little better

[@johngalt7733]

Check out the rails/sliders Lite Brite has, they are there for actual body protection, not like the pinch weld protectors that what y'all have on are for- Either way, thanks for the fun content!

[@JeepGearGadgets]

We’ve seen them lol.

[@RyanRKJ]

Some don’t like them, because they are body mounted, but for the rock crawling the Bronco should be doing, they provide better protection than stock Jeep / Bronco sliders.

[@fuoffroadandoutdoors1020]

for better tire visability take the flares off

[@Paul-ot2xn]

Sweet video 💯🤘🏻

[@2001cptdale]

sucks that it took damage. however, it made for some good content. I would have included that pic in the thumbnail to draw the audience in. Keep killing it!

[@rodcouey2617]

what were the ratings on those trails? That was some hard stuff for a stock ride I would not want to try that with my stock JL

[@altongehringer9858]

Maybe remove wheel flairs since you said you couldn't see the tires and use the trail sights.

[@337speed]

Remind me to never buy a Used Bronco😅

[@Freebeertomorrow-q3z]

First rule for off-roading. Don’t wheel it if your worried about hurting it. And please wear better / safer shoes.

[@billthope656]

Crocs are the safest

[@whoiskenp]

Question on the Damage: Did that happen because something pushed up so hard on the rock rails that it in turn damaged the body or was it a tree/rock that came in from the side and scraped it? Subscribed because I got a Bronco on order. Can't wait to see more Bronco content.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

It was from a tree stump, so the only thing that would have stopped it is by not hitting it, or sliders that come out and up

[@swashbuckler5539]

3 things wrong with the Ford Bronco. 1) not enough suspension travel... 2) it’s a Ford…3) it’s not a JEEP.,

[@stompindakka3222]

Did you try to disconnecting the swaybars in this test of the bronco?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Nope. This model doesn’t have the disconnect. Wheeled it as Ford designed.

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

AC fab makes quick disconnects for the Broncos. I have a pair on mine 😁

[@shoutingatclouds6841]

That’s a hybrid turbo you’re gonna need a tune more than anything. Obviously the motor is struggling and you could get a lot better gas mileage and keep all your power, Get a tune.

[@PaulKaiser42]

I truly thought the bronco came with insane cameras for tire placement views…..

[@jk_wrangler13]

Ben needs a backup camera lol

[@jasonh4167]

I should have said, i would extend the rock sliders out an inch in the last vid.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Only bad thing about that is the extra leverage with them being out would just rip the pinch seams off

[@damarbl3]

@@JeepGearGadgets that's an overblown concern. I added tube rails to my stock sliders that extend about 4". The tubes have taken a beating but my rockers haven't.

[@lizardkeeper100]

I am still torn if my next car should be a 2 door one of these or a 2 door jeep.

[@paulelliott682]

If your 6'+ and plan to go off-roading, then you might want the FORD. Even the Bronco Sport has more headroom than the Jeep Wrangler.

[@AustinH7]

If you plan on off-roading definitely the 2 door Jeep. There is no more capable vehicle than a Jeep.

When you installed the "rock rails" I knew they were not going offer much protection. Look at youtuber, "Lite Brite" to see what they did for a rock slider. However, I commend you for thinking ahead with your wimpy rock rails. Live and learn. By the way, many engineers learn from trial and error (failure).
