Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 315/70-17 and the wheels are American Outlaw Revolvers 17x 8.5
I had the wheels from my 4runner so I kept them, just had to buy 1 more for the spare. Got everything from my local Discount Tire.

Did you level or lift? how much?

Latest 'mod' for the 'Gunny'. I love Calvin and Hobbes.

No lift or level, just removed the crash bars. Wheels are a +10 offset.
No rubbing at full lock.

How do you like the ridge grapplers? I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon but the meat head in me just loves the design of them

I was a little reluctant at first. The wife is mainly gonna drive the bronco so I didn't want anything loud or rough riding.
But surprisingly they are very quite and ride really good. Running 40psi now but my lower to 38 just to see if they get a little better but we are very happy with them. And they look very aggressive on the sidewall. I was surprised when we first picked it up on how it looked.

2.3 with manual, sig LEDs, aux switches, located in Vegas. Bush Wacker hood deflector and trail armor will be going on this weekend. Roush intake was installed a few weeks ago, along with the stubby antenna. Bigger tires this spring.

How do you like that intake??! Noticeable sound differences?

Has anyone painted their grille flat black? I really like the carbonized grey, but I think flat black would look best with Cactus grey.

Shadow Black with Matte Black Letters.

Our grille has cool openings, but one of the openings is filled with the ‘third eye’. It looks odd to me, and I’m going to paint it and see if it looks better.

Send me a picture when done. It really bothers me especially since I painted my grille shadow black. It really looks funny.

Honestly, increase in performance and turbo sounds is extremely, minimal. I really don't think it's worth spending the $400+. However, it does look awesome though.

Also, what I did notice in our intake box is a long piece of plastic (obviously) that directs all the air down then up into the filter. I wonder if snipping (or taking a Dremel to it) would increase turbo sounds and airflow, since the piece is blocking and/or re directing the air. Open your intake box and you'll see what I mean.

Curious to hear why folks chose the BB over the other models. Was it cost only?

Mine should be built in the coming weeks

BB Sasquatch w/2.7

Cheapest way to get the 4 door with a manual transmission. Would have taken a base if that were an option.

Did some off-roading with a local group yesterday, my Big Bend non-SAS handled surprisingly well compared to the others who all had SAS package and other fancy mods

This right here is why I went big bend with out the sasquatch package. Will be all the capability I would need and getting the rear locker just in case!

A few mod to my A51 Big Bend. Sorry about the dirty pics, tons of salt on the roads still.

So did you re-position the side steps or cut off the end too allow clearance for the Ford mud flaps? I just received them in the mail, and I trying to decide to move my side steps back a couple of inches or trim the end!

Re-did the holes, used riv nuts. It was super easy. If you need a picture, let me know

That would be great....a pic!! So is there internal material throughout the side step for the screws/bolts to hold on to? Or the riv-nuts do the holding?
