My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Wasn't somebody around here looking for one of these about a month or two ago?

That looks like it fits a 7 foot bed truck.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
I hate to even say this... but all the social media on the new Bronco in general pretty much ruined it for me.

Can you elaborate a bit? Is it because all its issues or because "influencers" are generally unbearable or?

I saw a new lowered single cab short bed F150 yesterday driving home. It was pretty sweet. Not super low, but it looked good for a street truck. I was mostly black with a little bit of blue accent trim.

Couldn't get a picture because I was driving.

My first thoughts were, "Now that is something ford needs to sell"

RCSB's look the best.. either lifted or lowered. It's a shame nobody hardly makes any these days.

It was a fairly new one too. Wish I was able to get a picture. This is the only pictures I could find that even comes close.

Honestly... love the truck.

The influencers and a good portion of the entire fan base on certain forums just deflated my enthusiasm. I figure I didn't want to share a campfire with them.

A Ranger is really a better choice for me in the long run. The G-Unit is enough cool for me until I can't fix it any longer.

All I can be is me at this point in my life, definitely too old to have my 'essence' changed by any group of anybody lol. I may be coarse at times, I'm definitely a bit of a Homer Simpson at times, and I'm sure I'm no favorite to most people.. but I do my best to be open, understanding, and to give back as much as I recieve.

The only browsing I've done on bronco forums is to find out if the 7 speed manual is any good or not... and there's lots of reports of random grinding and all sorts of bad noises apparently... so I'm definitely going with a 10 speed lol.

The group of people here really can't be beat anyways.. whenever I do get rid of my truck I'll still be here and still paying for a premium membership. Enough good can not be said about TRS. I have no desire to make an account on any of the Bronco sites besides probably the corral.

Just the right size to touch the ground.

I just rolled 10k on my '22 Outer Banks 2-door. Love it. Zero issues to date. It's a V6, ten-speed auto. I have added a JB4 tuner, fog lights to the modular bumper, an auto-stop eliminator and after-market door pockets.

There's a few jerks over on Bronco6G, but most folks are helpful. The admins seem to have cleaned it up a bit from what it was. There's a lot of good information there, but like most forums, you have to wade through a lot of crap to find it.

Did you order the Bronco or was it an off the lot purchase? Glad to hear you've had no issues so far.
