But I'd take the Jeep over this. Most people that I know with Fords has [sic] had bad luck.


I own a Ford. Have never had an issue. (It has over 110,000 miles now). Used to own a Jeep, it was a money pit. Loved it, but always needed something.

Anecdotal evidence, of course.

On paper, the axle articulation is pretty close.


I'm not talking about stock vehicles

Try this in a IFS vehicle and it will pull the CV joints out:

No one would bother trying that

Because you dont need to

Why not just buy a monster truck and run over mobile homes?

Look at that car. Never seen a bad day in its life.

That depends on where you live. If you live in say Colorado or Utah then you will definitely be doing this.

Our back yard neighbor has a tricked out jeep like that. I asked him where he likes to off road. He said to me, "Oh, I don't take it off road. I'm just a poser."

Sure they would. Some of us live in places where rock crawling is in close proximity.

Yes, no one "needs" to do this just like most every other hobby.

What do you think a rock crawling Jeep looks like after it has been washed?

How can you live in Utah with a rig and not offroad? My favorite trail and camping spot when I lived in CO was Battlement Reservoir trail up to the lakes. I've had the lakes to myself each and every time I camped up there and the trail is a lot of fun.

That’s a good one. Love that part of the state for trails.

I see the new 2 door JLs all over



They make a stock Willys and stock Sahara two door that a lot of dealers carry and the other two doors can be ordered.

Pretty sure most at least have a ding in the powder coating somewhere.

Id be happy to get 110k miles out of a car. That is about 10 years or so the way I drive.

It looks very close to this


But to me, not close enough. I’ll reserve full judgement until I see it in person.

The 2 door looks better than the 4 door IMO.

If you want a “new” one like that, you’ll need to visit Icon 4x4.


You’ll also need A LOT of money.

Classic Ford Broncos in Ohio builds some great fully restored Broncos with Coyote engines but they’ll cost you over $200k.



ETA: To answer your previous question, yes I was able to reserve a First Edition last night.

I appreciate those, but get lost on what the point of them are.

You spend supercar money for some sort of replica that looks cool, but isn't original and replaces everything that makes it cool.

I do get there is a market and everyone has their thing.
