I really like the satin black grille. What did you paint it with?

Thanks it was just all Rust Oleum self etching primer, satin black and satin clear coat
it's been done for a few months and seems to be holding up well.

Looks great. Do the 37’s rub?

Thanks, no rub on the street. Haven't been off road yet but did flex it and at the point
when the rear tire loss contact the tire just touched the front crash bar bracket at full lock.
rash bars were removed

Looks great and welcome, fellow NJ member

Thanks might be going to the pine barrens the end of July if so I'll let you know if you want to join us.

Looking good. 37s with a 1" level? Holy moly. More lift coming or do you have no intention of off roading? Looks a little tight... FANTASTIC, but tight. Did you remove the crash bars?

Thanks, yes crash bars removed no rub. I will be doing some off roading but not alot
if I need I will add more lift. Just trying to maintain the factory ride as much as possible.
Actually with the 37's it's a little better then the factory ride.

I love that grill. I've been wanting to see a satin black on it because the gray just doesn't look good, and I don't like the gloss on the WT. Looks perfect, I plan on doing that to mine right away.

Thanks, I completely agree it was rust oleum high etch primer, satin black and satin clear

I am in South Jersey too. Expecting delivery next week. We will need a NJ meet up at some point.

Cool, Gloucester County here. Hope everything goes smooth with delivery!

A 1 inch lift is big enough for slapping 37s on? Hit a bump going right into the fender one would think.

i know 35s are no issue. Didn’t think 37s would work though.

On the road i have absolutely no rub. If i need to in the future i will add more lift

Sounds good, I need to test out my new MORRFlate system somewhere other than my driveway

I've been running 37"s ridge grapplers on a 1" level kit for 7 months. Love it.

Mine rubbed the factory rock rails so I modified them to work. I just ordered the JKS big tire kit to give me more clearance on the back of the front inner fender. It's super closer as is but I want to get a little more clearance there without more lift.

Yes i love it too. I saw that kit i might check it out.

Good luck on your delivery and it would be nice to have a NJ meet up

Great custom BYD rail build - can you provide any details? Nice looking rig.

Thanks, I will be posting a thread with more details. I made the base out of aluminum
then added Ram Mount rail and accessories.

Great work looks killer! If you‘re ever in OC stop by, @GToddC5 and Cheeto just did recently

I put the SAS wheels and tires with a 2" Zone lift on my OBX the day I got it. I had to take it back due to the intense rub with the wheel cranked. They took off the crash bars. It still rubs a little mostly when turning sharp, backing out of the driveway or a parking spot.

This is my first post had my bronco for 5 months and been lurking on her for 10 months.
Here is a quick rundown. Reserved June 4 2021 ordered Badlands, sasquatch, hardtop, 2.3 , high package, with tow.
Waited till September then removed the hardtop, sasquatch and tow and switched to the 2.7. Got scheduled the next week for November.
Got pushed three times finally to the infamous 12/6 build week with a blend date of 12/9 finally got a built email on 12/26.
Just escaped ice mountain and my 21 badlands was at my dealer on 1/19/2022.
So far here is what we've done to our Bronco

1. Fuel Zephyr wheels 17 x 9 0 offset
2. 37" BFG KO2
3. Rough Country Tailgate reinforcement and relocation Bracket
4. Zone 1" level
5. Rigid Pod Lights
6. Oracle spare tire brake light, bronco letter lights, Mod Bumper Triple Fog Lights
7. DV8 Side Rails
8. Painted the Grill Satin Black and added color matched aluminum behind the Oracle Bronco Letters
9. Built my own BYOD Rail​

Here are some pics and even though I wasn't a member yet thanks for your help and ideas.

Looks great! Still think Ford swung and missed on the soft top since every one of them looks like hot trash, but maybe they’ll eventually get an improved design.
