While I think it is cool you could build an entire Bronco from new with aftermarket parts, part of me recently is having anxiety over it due to the Ukraine invasion. The thought of how a communist country can wield their power and murder thousands of innocent people without the world coming to their rescue truly saddens me. The dependency that Europe has on Russian fuel and other infrastructure prevents them from supporting too much and having a total collapse of their economy.
Consider what would happen when China wants to start annexing the rest of their neighbors or even fight the US. Can you imagine that the US is prepared to sanction China or really stop them with as much dependency as we have on them today? Everything we buy from Walmart down comes form them. When you look at most of the Bronco vendor websites, look at how much of that stuff is from China. Most of it.
It has really affected the way I think about supporting my hobby knowing that all of this money is going to strengthening the country that is most likely to be our largest threat and enemy. I hope we don't look back at this and regret paying for them to use it against us.
Rant over.
