Base Model Bronco Thread

[emkayw]

If you are thinking about going with larger tires (33s+) and enjoy a manual, stick with that simply for the better gearing. It's simply a guessing game if the manual or auto will get built first, not worth even considering, IMO.

I agree with this. I changed from the base wheel/tire to 33's on 17" wheels. Still a complete blast to drive. Hopefully your Bronco base will get built soon.

First I don’t think many on here won playing Bronco Lottery. They come, when they come.

Second, it’s a matter of deciding what you want. I have a 2 door Base, 2.3, manual. I love the peppiness. It’s a small, quick, responsive, four wheel drive truck. I still have the base wheels and tires. It’s scoots and I enjoy being the only Bronco on earth with that tire and wheel set up. LOL! I actually get a lot of positive comments about how good it looks.

i have a buddy with a 4 door, Wildtrack. His is a four door SUV, with a 2.7 auto. Cool vehicle, but not what I wanted. I didn’t want another 4 door SUV. his has all the bells and whistles. State of the art electronics. Huge tires.

in the end, you are the owner. Decide what you want and get it. Both are very cool vehicles.

Don’t get another 4 door...

Did you do tires and lift or just the tires and wheels?

Just wheels/tires. Had to removed the crash bars.

Decided to join the base model gang and ditch my Badsquatch order for a Basesquatch order. Added the mod bumper, aux switches and roof rack to get it as close to my Badsquatch order as I could without spending the additional $10k.

Does anyone know if its possible to run the horizontal ambers/signal lights as DRL's???
Was hoping to keep those ambers on full time day and night.

Who is actually putting their money where their mouth is and getting a base model? Count me in! 2-door, base, 7 speed, and sasquatch of course. Going for cactus grey, I am in AZ after all! I will add aux switches if available. Nothing else I really need, I'll go aftermarket!

That's what I did have had it since December, wouldn't change a thing! I got the wheels I wanted I'm a happy camper.

Two options from what I understand. Stickerfab has an orange overlay that actually looks better than you'd expect based on reviews. There is also supposedly a mod in forscan that allows you to do it as well, but I believe it only shows in D, R, or N (not while in Park). The thread should be somewhere out there if you search for it, I found this one quickly but not sure if it helps: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/drl-settings-in-forscan.31812/

Thanks for the reply. I believe the base lights are already amber, just want to keep them on as drls instead of or in addition to the normal drls. Looks like it might be possible in forscan but that thread seems to discuss the upgraded signature lights. Not familiar with forscan so was hoping it might be possible without messing with forscan.

Ah you're totally right, that slipped my mind when I responded.

I'm sure there is a way, but I haven't seen a post on it personally. Regardless, it will almost certainly involve forscan to accomplish.

The Base trim isn't available in the orange unfortunately.

I have a confirmed order of a Base in Cactus Grey
Its also an option on the Ford website
