Don't love the color but it looks like how the FJ Cruiser should have, and you can actually see out of it.

Which is why I did a used 4Runner and not a new FJ. That goddamn LOS is horrible.

I had an FJ from 2012-2016. Great vehicle, learned to live with it - but when I'm wheeling in the 100 I actually feel like I'm on a trail and not a cave.

I will admit that when I traded my FJ in on another vehicle and the trade in was what I had paid for it 5 years and 60k prior, I wasn't complaining.

Looks like a Bronco from the front. Looks like a Jeep from the back.

Street pressure? At least air down some
Most of the videos I've seen of them wheeling looked like street pressure. Not doing themselves any favors impressing would be buyers when they recruit a crew that doesn't know the basics.

Or the goal is to figure out what will break when they do. They were still wheeling the pre-production models.

I'm not a fan of the 4D. However, the 2D in full kit is...:cool:

I think you'll find that man has a BFGoodrich t-shirt and a spreadsheet of laboratory testing showing his tire pressures are correct. Something must be wrong with the rocks.

My neighbor just got a new Ford Tremor is silver. It looks really, really cool.

What I have found just says generically "a Ford engineering team" took the trucks to Rubicon, Moab, etc. Doesn't say who they are but it seems like they have at least some experience (or training) at driving and spotting.

Yeah I saw a bronco sport in the wild the other day in arapahoe acres. Walked around it. Looks nice, but still the sport.

I don't remember my 80 series having that much trouble getting out of Mickey's Hot Tub. I didn't air down, and there was water in the bottom of it. Just sayin'!

I keep seeing these on the road and have heard them called the jeep killer. Which jeep were they referring to? They seem comparable to the Compass in size and build.

You are seeing the Bronco SPORT...totally different animal. More like a small ass than a bronco, in my opinion.

When you see one of the real deal broncos you will understand :)

People's Soviet Socialist Republic of California,
Got a brief glimpse of a Bronco (the full-size one, not the burro-size one) and it was *NICE*

Hoping I can test drive one in 2023 once there are actually a few on dealer lots and not just going straight to customer orders.
