the comment you made about when car people see an old version of their favorite car was spot on...Non car people just don't understand that feeling.
I would have never thought to spec out that color and wheel combo but wow. I want a Sarah -n-Tuned Special Edition Bronco. That looks so good!
I agree. Would Sarah be offended if someone were to buy that exact spec Bronco and do the exact same mods? I don't really like Broncos but I really like how Pokey is turning out.
The tire wheel package is awesome.
@@carlpaladino427 it compliments the color of the paint perfectly
@@2013hwcamaro agree
So 40k in total ? How so cheap without no mark up price
I remember that you considered canceling the order due to Ford delays. Very glad you waited. This is a perfect off-road explorer for you as well as a daily driver. No doubt Pokie will look great 15 years from now in your care.
The tow rating reduction is also because they couldnt add the additional cross member in the rear to support the frame twist under towing due to the exhaust taking up too much room. The raptor bronco has that cross member there, and that allows is the higher rating 🤙
The way you had this bronco spec’d from the factory with all you have added, makes your pokey horse my favorite bronco on YT
I also love the super clean old school cars, it doesn’t matter what it is.
100% agree with your cookie score. I picked the exact same specs and i love it!
My grandma used to have a Wrangler and a 5th gen Bronco when i was a little kid. I remember the one ride in the bronco and basically fell in love. It was a beautiful two tone turquoise and white Eddie Bauer trim bronco. Her jeep was a brown soft-top YJ 5-speed jeep. Because of her jeep, that is the only generation of 2 door Wrangler that I actually like.
That rube Golberg drain oil trough is simply ingenious! That is a great little vehicle.
My 76 Alfa Romeo had that but not as complex, just the top of the oil pan shaped to funnel the oil away.
When I was a Lube Tech, I always appreciated things like this. When I worked for Acura I had magnetic trays for the vehicles that didn't have a built in system like this.
Color, stance, wheels and trim level are perfect!
I would watch 10 min at least of just different angles of you driving over bumps and hills and ruts in crawl mode. Up the hill. Down the hill. Maybe 20 min. Seeing suspension articulation makes us happy and proud.
If you upgrade to the locker front diff. from Ford , you have to change out the driveshaft and axle shafts also.
Me , 2022 Black Diamond 2 dr. 2.3 manual in Eruption Green hard top.
Thanks!
I like your mods.
Not over done.
Looking forward to what you come up with with an upgraded
stereo system.
I can't say enough about your folding roof tent. Love it.
Looking forward to your camping adventures.
My 2.7L is out of the bad batch date. my engine was built sept 24th, the vehicle was built in october. (i'm in a 2dr badlands, non sas)
Wow pokey looks amazing,Especially when you’re giving it the meatball score, the tent makes it look even more capable!!! Thanks Sarah for being you and keep the cars pristine. So that guys like me can have the pleasure of having that automotive time warp. Never change!!!
I love the "Bronquito" moniker. We had a 2006 Ford Escape with a non-EcoBoost 2.3L V4 under the hood, which I understand is the ancestor to the engine you have. Hopefully the family tree carried over, because our 2.3L was a super reliable beast, even without the turbos. The only reason we don't still have that Escape is some Hyundai Santa Fe decided to try to kill my wife, and the insurance company totaled it. At least the Hyundai wasn't successful -- in fact, the roll cage held up surprisingly well. Wife got away with bumps and bruises.
Just for some clarification - it isn't a "V4" but an "I4" er inline. Ford hasn't made a "V4" since the 60s!
@@theangrymarmot8336 Whoops. You are right. Thanks for the correction!
Yes, insurance companies lean towards totalling cars, even if the paint matching cost is the, only issue. The escape alternator change is, ridiculously, difficult. They are durable enough to last a while for young people and they drive, aggressively. 👌
The more I think about it I believe the 4 cyl with the procal tuner is the way to go.
I love your 5 penguin animation! SWEET!
Thanks!
@2:32 for scale my 1975 F-100 300 I-6 4x4 with 33" BFG Mud tires 10X15 steel wheels no rear bumper no tailgate Thick steel roll bar ( dana 20 ?? single speed transfer case ) 4 speed long bed single cab weighs 3,950 lbs
I love that you got the two door. That's what I would pick as well. You also made some nice modifications that are...will call them tasteful. Nothing too crazy.
Nice 2-door bronco. I’m in the order status waiting for a build date for my Bronco Everglades. Can’t wait to get it so I can come out to Sedona to take it off road.
Gorgeous vehicle design, inside and out. All the technical jargon went over my head, but Accoutrements just means the extra bits that go with something. Possibly the only time I've really liked one of the putty colours.
Sara being proud of her Bronco. Love the smile and happiness. Great review.
FIVE (count ‘em) five penguin score and ONE in the wheel well during the lift! …and YES, you can take off the roof/tent rack if you’d like Sarah 😁😘
I love it when you geek out on your own stuff! 😂
Another fantastic video. So glad you like your Pokey so much. i feel the same about my TruckeeTruck ('96 Dodge Dakota 318 5 spd 4x4). Really great to have these trucks here in Arizona to enjoy the dirt. Now I'll go watch more of your videos. Thanks again and Take care
Another awesome car review as always!!! I almost did a spit take when you referred to the exhaust wrapping the way you did!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Keep up the great work!!!!!
I had a 19 Ranger with the 2.3 and it was a blast. Tune, exhaust, leveling kit, bigger tires. I beat that truck constantly and it never missed a beat in 40k miles.
40k is nothing tho...
My bronco is supposed to start being built next week. 2 door, 7 speed manual, no options. I can’t wait!
I own a 2 door badlands Sasquatch and i just love it so much. It’s got all this armor underneath but it’s such a Billy goat it just clears nearly everything.
Granny gear is not a cane left on the passenger side of Charlie's Crown Vic. Your extended mechanical review was stellar. The Rube Goldberg marble trough for the oil filter spillage was engineers having fun. I learn new things every time you point them out. The test hill was no contest at all for El Bronkito! Gallo's humor for the win! Crawl on over, Pokey lady!
Another thing I've noticed is when you let out on the clutch , the engine revs up to keep from stalling. You can start of w/o hitting the gas. Nice in bumper to bumper traffic.
my Veloster N does that. I caught the dealership tech on my dash cam complaining about it when I had it in for a oil change
A sad inditement of the skill level of most drivers in the USA. There again in the land of the not so free, where autos rule, that is hardly surprising I guess.
My 2021 mustang does that as well.
Nice Bronc! It's spec'd out perfect for the intended purpose, the wheels/tires/paint/lights/sliders/tent seal the deal
Happy Friday Eve Sarah!!!
For a Bronco, yes, 2dr is the only way to go, because heritage. But I do love my school bus, 4dr JK, more room for cooler with cold snacks and regular snacks, seems more planted in extreme rock crawling situations. I had an 87 full-size Bronco back in the mid 90s and loved how it turned on a frickin dime.
Your Bronco is rad!!
Stay excellent!!!😎
This has to be the best new modified bronco I've seen by a mile.
Hope youre having a great day!
Gosh I’m definitely living vicariously through you Sarah, because that is the EXACT spec Bronco that I was going to order! I ended up finding my perfect one owner 2021 F-150 XL STX 4x4 5.0 V8 SuperCab (not SuperCrew) in Lead Foot Gray (the exact color I wanted, which has since been discontinued) I absolutely love it so far. Can’t wait to start upgrading it for mild off roading. Always enjoy your content and your little Pokey truck! Much love from Texas!
For some reason one of my favorite parts of the video was at 6:00 where you tap on the skid plate and the little green dookickies appear around your fingernails. Nice detail to the editing.
Great pick Sarah! Mines nearly the same but 4 dr. Sasquatch. Love the marine seats and rubber floors! The 2.3 is far quicker than expected, and with a tune (and exhaust), even better. Most fun and attention grabbing vehicle ever!!!
Whether you know it or not you are absolutely the best at what you do. That likely applies to anything else you may try in the future.
5 penguins! Whuda thought! First time for everything. Thanks for a great review and a fun ride along. Been watching the Focus get fixed up, can't wait!
The bronco is so great, I recently got a 2-door manual area51 black diamond also and I'm having a blast so far! I really like the stance yours got with the upgraded suspensions wheels and tires
Wow 37k is a great price for that model! Love it!
Love this show. Brings back memories of the '60 Willies Wagon I built in the '80's. It could climb a tree.
17:33 That is where an independent front suspension can get you in trouble.
If there had been a bigger dip for the right front tire to go into, you can roll the truck.
A solid axle front end will flex a lot more and follow the terrain as opposed to lifting a tire.
_Also, never go down a serious hill with it in neutral and the clutch in. Unless you trust your life to electronic "hill decent" mode._
Hey Sarah, not sure if you know or not but there are go pro mounts on the exterior mirrors too. There is a threaded hole on top of the base cover of the mirror. =]
'Short wheelbases are awesome!'.. You go Sarah!!
The ultimate adventure machine for exploring the southwest! So happy for you!!
Watching you whenever you are really enjoying something is really fun because you are so expressive. Thank you❤️
Bolstering was perfect 💙💙😍
One of the best so far.
Been waiting for this 😊 just the greatest channel ♥️ just the greatest content creator 😊♥️
It's been a while but if I remember you purchased this basic then personalised it? Looks good 👍🏾
The Bronco exhaust is so, satisfying. I expect that the Bronco is a bit amazing. The old ones were, all that!💯
Great video Sarah!!!! I love the new Bronco as well, and I love the upgrades you have added!!!!! I love the light blue color as well. Thanks for sharing!!!
I am actually impressed that bought a manual for your personal vehicle. Shows you really are a car girl/person/entity.
Seeing the active grille shutters actuate on startup is pretty cool.
Love this review, thank you Sarah! Awesome work!
Sarah, I bought my 2024 Black Diamond Bronco due to your experience. 2 Door (4 doors are for lazy children), manual, Hot Pepper Red, trailer hitch and modular front bumper. I almost regret not getting the Sasquatch package, but that was another $8k and I figured I'd be replacing the tires and wheels anyways. The manual transmission is limiting; can't get heated seats and other fancy features without automatic transmission. Guess I'll have to move to Tucson.
It's really awesome seeing how much you love driving it.
Very nice build! I went with a 2 door Base manual in Area 51 color. Did a 2" Zone leveling kit and 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT on 17" matte black Fuel wheels.
Best bolster test you've ever done. Ev-ah. Thank you, Sarah.
Wheels look good.
Coffee on a cold winter morning and Sarah on the webs👍🤗🇦🇺 Great review!
thats not a strange shape for a driveshaft. that is the splined portion of a 2 piece shaft, which allows it to lengthen and shorten as your suspension compresses or extends.
Manual Lives!!!
Fender flares were a necessary addition. Great call.....
you should take that trail up the back side of Mt.Lemmon! not sure what it's like now, but it was fun when I used to go there 20-ish years ago.
I love that you said your Bronquito has “Fruit and Robot compatibility” first person I’ve ever heard call it that.
I give you Credit, you have done some very cool stuff to the Bronco. Looks really nice.
It’s your ride and you choose what you like 👍.
Great review! I was waiting for it to get more info about the BD. Really looks like a fun vehicle. Can’t wait to get mine. Already ordered, just waiting for production. Thanks for doing that.
I think I'm going to purchase one. I've made up my mind about getting this because I think it's a great vehicle for the city I live in....too many potholes and sporadic weather and people.
As far as the auto vs. manual off-road argument, the crawl gear is a game changer. It’s almost impossible to stall it.
Hi Sarah, I'm not a Ford product enthusiast, but I do like your Black Diamond Edition Bronco. Sharp lookin' vehicle with your personalized aftermarket additions. Have a splendid Fourth of July holiday and enjoy your ride!!
That's one awesome Bronco Black Diamond!! Your videos are amazing. Continue to do the great reviews and videos. After seeing this awesome video I am going to look more into the 2 door version and it's all thanks to your video. I also have to say that I love that light blue color. I have been debating between that color and the Cactus Gray color. Now I just need to save my pennies to get one for myself.
The catch can should be standard for the smart motorheads like you great videos.
Stoked for you Sarah, Woo!
Bronco, Quattro, MR2... I like all of it. Looking forward to the Beetle.
Those wheels really look great.
I didn’t know pizza places made motors. Great review of an awesome rig. Your Broncito build is sweet.
Literally the only person I saw get that reference. Are we getting old, or did no one else get that F&F reference?
Nope I got that reference from 2Fast2Furious
Its really lovely & adventurous vehicle! My best friend & I use to have open top bonfire camping/fishing sleepouts, & in thee sticks we do thee weekly towne mudd pit crawling, with an 80's bronco & international scout w/ no hesitation, just keep on reserve a can of w/d 40 to blast thee alternator only when it got flooded w/ dirt & water & grease the hub bearings! 🔥🐕🦺
King James kamping and attending to thy steed!
Love the Gallo 12 and Gallo 24 reference!
bronco looks awesome
Intents. I'll get my coat.
But it was nice to see the entire sky out the back window!
Perfect build. I like the 33s
About the only thing I would want differently, as someone from a cold climate state, would be to add heated seats for the winter; possibly a heated steering wheel as well. Otherwise I agree your spec is pretty much perfect for being purpose built as an off-road rig.
Great rig. Totally agree about size of your Branco. I rock crawl a 1940's Willy on 35's with a 4.3 vortec with manual 4 speed with Dana 44's and Detroit lockes. It's open top and wheel year round in PNW. It's so nimble in the tight trees and technical rock gardens. I love your taste in vehicles and BMX bikes...I raced a PK Ripper in the 90's.
That’s a great spec for the Bronco. I like the 2-door version, too!
Awesome vid especially for the mechanically-savvy!
I am one of those time warped people . My dad bought a new 1973 Bronco Sport and gave to me about 15 years ago. My son and I restored it 3 years ago so unfortunately the days of kickin in the hubs are over...however still fun to drive. Your new Bronco weighs almost the same as the 73, but one big difference , my dad paid $1.00 a pound for it......prices have gone up a little for yours ! Cheers !
In 1978 I paid $2 a pound for my 79 XLT with a power angle plow installed weighed 5,085#. The base model was $7,500.
"A Gallo 12 or a Gallo 24"
Love that reference. ☺️
...there might bee a bottle opener on the top arch of the door frame
Love Sarah and her manual Bronco!!! I did get the four door BD manual ( had to for work equipment) Eruption Green. Will be doing some of your upgrades!!! Your so rad to do your own work!!!
Great taste for sure! Knowing you'll keep it show quality drives me crazy!
Pokey!!! Great little bronco. I’m sure you will get a front locker and trail cam on it soon.
Do it… Do It… DO IT (pretty please)!!!!!
😜you said exactly what I was thinking on brake test “I hope the tent stays on” 🤙🏻
I just love your enthusiasm!!!
Never been a fan of colored wheels, but damn those look amazing.
Ford will get a run on this exact setup now
