jeepthing07 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Future Ford Bronco? I seen this on jeep news a while back a while back it looks ALOT like the new JK but it has a factory snorkle. and it has dana solid axles with locking hubs http://www.jeepnewsnow.com/modules/news ... oryid=1318 wiki has some more info on it here http://www.troller.com.br/t42007/ And the best link of all.... If ford brings this to the US its going to be a real JK killer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 If they sell it as exactly equipped there, it would be very neat. Other than it'd be a ford. And they'll ghey-ify it, probably add IFS/IRS and turn the snorkel into a peice of plastic for looks, and use a gas engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 bah, they'll never import it like that. A few reasons: Same reason the diesel libby isn't for sale anymore, EPA mandated diesel emission standards. They'll have to ghey it up to meet new pedestrian safety standards and vehicle standard set forth by the federal government. Ever wonder why all new cars look the same? Because there's only so many ways you can make a front end pedestrian safe. Ask my opinion and I'd tell you that the damned pedestrians should just not get hit by cars.

jared Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 although that is a pretty sweet vehicle, i don't think there is anything wrong with the new JK, its like the TJ but slightly better in some ways, and slightly worse in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is that?!!?! it looks like someone smashed their dodge into a jeep a few times then took both of them, uglied them up a little, and stuck the peices together to produce a beater. ugh. the commander is decent though, i like it.
