The fenders on that Bronco Raptor look.......just not fond of them.... I sat in one at the OC Fair...very nice ride...but can't over the lines with those fenders...
What's impressive is how a manufacture can take a perfectly good looking truck and fk it up and ask $100k+ for it. I like the new Bronco, but that Raptor version looks trash.
Yeah, appreciate you pointing that out. That has been made clear in the past when talking about going out with friends last year. Hence the desire for a SXS. Then a Jeep to cover the around town or other places to check out like Moab. Not ready to tow long distances for this winter. Maybe next year or when I have my replacement at work in a year or two and I can have more time to enjoy a road trip or two. My FIL has been doing UT for years. This is the first year he is not. I want to be able to have him join us in Havasu and then maybe road trip with them as well. Just want to have all bases covered for the next 5+ years of fun!!!!
Well we have the Jeep and enjoy the ability to just get off road any time. We will most likely always have one for when we want to do light off reading with out of town visitors. That is why we are looking at a 4dr Jeep as well. With the Speed UTV taking a bit more time I doubt we will see other SXS on the market so my plan is to just pull the trigger and buy new and do whatever is needed.My BIL and I were talking about exactly this...
Jeep? SxS?
It basically boils down to who do you wanna hang out with and what toys they already have?
Or just be a rebel and do your own thing.
Either way, it's always fun.
perfect post..... we have 2 rzr turbo's and two jeeps,... we never mix the two...if we go jeeping we take jeeps, and duning we take rzr'sMy BIL and I were talking about exactly this...

That thing is a begging to be owned by a raider player!!!
Yeah, saw that one not even close to any list that I have going.
Thanks for the input Steve. You are spot on that a Jeep and SXS are two completely different animals. That is why I am looking at all options To fill my personal/family needs. I think that I have made up my mind and will be working in that direction. Here is a hint for everyone even though I used to be a NFL/Raiders fan I will NOT be getting anything close to the Jeep that @02HoWaRd26 posted. LOL
Idk i like it a lot, but it wouldn’t be for the desert or hills at all. I still believe in having dedicated vehicle for that. It’d be the idea of replacing my truck for it.Yeah, saw that one not even close to any list that I have going.
The low profile tires are a no go for us. I want to be able to explore when we have the opportunity. Those tires would ultimately limited it to a payment/mall crawler and for that reason I am out.
I was just able to get hands on with a new bronco raptor. (kind of a dark orange color) While still hideous the fenders do look better in person. I guess there are companies already working on widebody fender kits but i think they still need a painted fender and some contrasting black plastic trim like the wrangler to look right.The fenders on that Bronco Raptor look...
That had to be at Towbin or Prestige. They cater to a certain....crowd.
I bought one. 2023 rubicon 4xe. I actually like it. It runs hard. I like using the battery power for offroad. In e save mode you can switch it to charge while you drive….this is key.
This would be my vote. Have '12 JK I bought new with the 3.6, only issue was a broken sparkplug back in '16. Has 70K on it now. A mall crawler with 37's since day one. Never thought once about taking it off-road over the RZR. Neighbor has a 392, it sounds killer, but 30K killer.
Awww come on, that v6 tows fine

I’m interested as well, my BIL has the first one delivered by his dealer in Vegas. Things been flawless for the entire time. It’s been great for them and a solid vehicle
90k sticker plus mark up on 4XE!!!!!!! Ho lee fuk!!! Absolutely should not be paying mark up on one, there are thousands sitting on lots right now. I got 14,000 off msrp including the .gov 7500 rebate. My loaded up rubicon was in the mid 70’s, i don’t have and didn’t want the one touch roof so it would of been about 78-79 with that i think…..
