Same as title.

Is there something(s) you wished Ford would have done to the Bronco before ending production in 1996? If so, list them!

I do wish they would kept the straight axle but TTB does good too BUT it a little heavier than a straight axle.

i would love to have seen them make a heavy duty version, solid axle front end basicaly a f250 or 350 bronco, they should have also put a heavy duty manual gear box in it, the zf or even the np-435, people love these as mud trucks, i i were behind the design id have seen that and done some of the above things to make it a little stronger on the trails
a diesel would have been an awesome option how bout a soft top option? that would have been awesome instead of having to go out and buy one after market they could have made it a bit longer too

The diesel would have been amazing with a solid front axle.

JDE, they just rust because of the winter road treatments up north. Mine has been to a lot of harsh places and the only part that had any important rust was the tailgate.

Edgethis, don't mind him, he's trolling, he's some immature child that just loves the attention.
