The Bronco Raptor has 13" of front travel and 14" in the rear. And about 130 more HP.

I don't think there is any chance you could hang with one in the desert.
If I put the extra $30k in the mojave I think I'd have a shot

You would beat it when the Bronco has to stop and replace the tie rod.

They should make that a quick change part, with connectors more like air tools, or perhaps a lever clamp you release to pop one out and put another in.

Glad I saw the really fine print at the bottom, otherwise, I was going to suggest - there are doctors for that little problem.
Yeah, but I don't work with really mentally ill people, there are inpatient facilities for that. I'm strictly outpatient.

The "like" just isn't good enough for that one. There needs to be a blue ribbon or something

Why is "no politics" a thing if you didn't do anything political?

Firm believer Jeeps are horrible Daily drivers and owners should use them primarily for off roading and recreation. Ducks suck, Jeep BOH's are the bomb. Gladiators should remain a light duty vehicle and not have "Camper shells" on them, ever.

Ha Ha, there... Thanks for the very welcomed thread.

I'm not into all the military nonsense. It's a Chrysler. You're not driving a military surplus rig, your Jeep didn't run over a Nazi on the beaches of Normandy, they're not going to let you join the military parade if you put enough USMC stickers and stars on it. Just settle down and enjoy your civilian light duty truck.

I don't care about ducks and I don't want you touching my vehicle.

I had a similar comment to yours a few months back. I basically said if you don’t off road then you shouldn’t own a Jeep.
I know there are a ton of better daily drivers than Jeeps but I actually enjoy driving my Jeep. I’ve almost bought a daily a few times recently but there’s nothing practical I’d buy that I’d want to grab the keys to that vehicle over the Jeep.

I noticed you have a bed rack. In your opinion, what’s the difference between a bedrack and a camper shell? Generally, they both weigh a good amount and your Jeep doesn’t know the difference. Being able to lock your gear, keep it dry and dust free is a benefit for a lot of people.

Dry-ish and sort of less dusty.

Shells help, but they aren't 100%
