Base Model Owners: Official Thread

[Cwill79]

Great thread. I just got notified today my Base is in production. Getting a 4dr carbon gray with HD bumper, brush guard and aux switches. This thread is far more positive than the others on this site -- says something about us Base buyers

Good Morning. Congrats on the production notification! I ordered almost the exact Bronco yesterday. Base in cactus grey with HD bumper, brush guard and aux switches. Just curious how long it took you after your order to get notified that its in production?

Are 2-door Base Base Broncos getting built faster than say a Black Diamond with mid package?

@Ashventure Care to share any more pics of your rig with the Falkens?

Impatiently waiting for my base model! If you’ve been driving one for a while, what’re your thoughts so far? What would you suggest I get before delivery to have on hand at day 1? Thanks!

Molded floormats, seat covers, tailgate table, Falken ATw3 265/70r16 tires, tube steps were my adds. Keep kicking myself for not getting roof rails at build, but Yakima is (oneday) making a roof rack for just the rear topper section.

Hello. Great choice! I think the HD Bumper and brush guard spices up the Base, and still $4000 less than Big Bend without these things. I ordered just December 1st without a reservation. One week later I dropped the hard top and was immediately scheduled the next day.

That's good to know. So it's mostly still just the dang top.

Here’s a few more!

Initially my truck came with two bronco and two generic ford caps but I got my dealer to order me two bronco caps so these were taken before I got the correct caps lol

Looks unreal. Have them on order to be installed before delivery. Can’t wait. Thanks!

A little before and after! PlastiDipped my steelies until my new rims/tires get delivered. Snowed last night, so I got to take some nice pictures

I'm not into wheeling or the huge tire look, and think the smaller wheels kinda fit the theme of the back to the basics base Bronco, and a lower entry and egress heigth is not a bad thing as this will be used for crawling malls. Not really! Haven't been to one in 30 years, but it will be used to haul my son to hockey practice and ski areas. I will drive on the stock for awhile and see how I like, but may upgrade at some point. Something like Grabber ATs would look cool even at the smaller size.

Nice. I agree completely. I have no plans to put balloon tires on my Base either. We will be the rarest of the rare. Lol! That said, to each their own. I like the way all Broncos look.

That looks great. I have been thinking about doing the same to mine when it comes in. Any tips or advice you would give after doing yours?

If you want to PlastiDip them, definitely get the spray trigger! It’s like $10. Makes the application wayyyyy easier. Also, do the spare first before doing the wheels that are actually on the Bronco. I jacked my spare all up and have to peel the PlastiDip and redo it. I learned from doing the spare first what works and doesn’t work on this specific rim. 3-4 dust coats before applying the wet coats was clutch! Helped it from not pooling or dripping. I also used the Emerald Black HyperDip kit, if you were wondering the color.

Dang!! I love those pops of red! Ya the steelies are temp for me until I can afford a new set of wheels. I plan to paint mine black too at some point. So clever to paint the caps! Love it!!

This is great. Was planning on getting powder coating quotes but this may be a good option… I also plan to replace at first sign of rusting.
