For the $5,500 price difference, Badlands is a killer deal over Black Diamond considering the hardware upgrades

Just the front axle upgrade to 210's will be over $2K, then the locker, sway bar disco, advanced 4wd and gearing.
Well, I live in the northeast so not so sure I will need all that very often. I guess I will drive mine for awhile (if I ever get it) and then decide if want to spend a lot on mods or sell and upgrade to higher trim in a future build year.

I decided to max myself out at 50k with accesory add-ons and probably better off not going SAS since this is gonna be my daily driver and I have 30 miles each way to work 4 days a week. It is defintely a good deal and makes sense for someone who knows they will be doing a lot of burly off-roading frequently.

Jeep did this limited retro look in 2017 with the Chief. Love to see the Bronco in baby blue with a white top.

This is the best retro bronco that I’ve seen and I think it has to do with how they did the grill. Didn’t paint the entire thing white, just the inner most part of it is white so it’s more subtle. The cool wheels also help.

Except it is a 4 door...that just spoils all Broncos for me but especially any retro notion

Curious if there is a change in the grill since they apparently wouldn't let anyone snap a picture of it :unsure:
I was wondering the same thing

I love it. finally we are getting to the options I thought the Bronco would have when it was first revealed. A retro color (any of the original eb colors, really) with a white top.. SOLD. but i love the blue. imagine the right two tone white stripe kit... not sure what it would have to look like yet, but if it could be done right MAMA MIA

Are those Everglades rims? I need myself a set - are they available from Ford?

BTW, I love the baby blue color - Ford should do more of these retro colors, including a light sage green, etc. Cactus Grey is the closest in spirit to the vintage colors, and I would've chosen it if my dealer hadn't offered me a school-bus yellow :) , which I'm pretty happy with anyway. But back to those Everglades wheels - they'd look great to shod some real M/Ts on for serious crawling.

Nope. The wheels I posted are 17" American Racing AR62 Outlaws, which I'm putting on my "Cactus Gray" Bronco when it arrives. My tires are 33.1" Mickey Thompsons.
I don't want to mess with suspension design or remove crash bars via (my)
State Farm insurance rep's directive, so a 33 tire's fine with me for now.

The wheels on the everglades Bronco look like, KMC Roswells imo, but they're not.
Less slots, although very cool. Ford rims bought separately thru Ford dealers are beyond pricey! I was quoted $540 per rim for the 17" Ford Steelies, which is insanely high!

Here's a link to the Roswells.

I love the Roswell's and fifteen52 Analog wheel, but they are really expensive

Those AR outlaws look nice though!
