Just picked up my black diamond last night. It definitely exceeds my expectations. It's an Advanced Mid Package with the 2.7. I was originally a Cactus Grey order but switched to Velocity Blue after seeing a demo. Definitely the right decision. The blue looks so good with all the Black diamond black/grey accents.

First trip was to the bike trails. My bike satisfies the cactus grey itch (YT Izzo in ghostship green).

Congrats!!

Yeah... that's the only problem with the accents. Hard to do color matching if you have OCD-style itch to make it perfect.

I had a Badlands on order in Cactus Grey, but there was always that itch in the back of my brain that I should really switch it to Cyber Orange just to match the accents. I don't even like the Cyber Orange color and definitely don't feel like it is worth the premium cost, but that itch is still there.

Now for 2022 I likely am switching to Black Diamond... but I still have the same itch to switch it to Velocity Blue. Looking at your photos the color matches the accents perfectly. I may have to go hunting around the area searching for a Ford in velocity blue just to see the color in person.

Beautiful. Trying to decide if non sas is enough for me. Im just afraid of the 190 front axle. But the look is tight. Give me the lood of yours with bilsteins and a 210 axle and I am a happy camper. The wheels are great too.

I thought the same thing. The tires are definitely bigger in person and don't look small. I used to off-road alot in my old ranger that had a dana 35. That truck ran 33" BFG AT tires and I never had any issues. So they should be fine with the 190. I figure if I ever break it I can get a 210 with a locker for $2k, which is cheap.

I heary ya and may go that route depending on what lift shocks end up available. Only thing I have ever broken in a dana 30 was a ujoint that was unmaintained. These broncos are alot heavier and have alotmore power than anything i have wheeled hard. But i dont plan on wheeling hard. Soooo.... i guess these are all questions I will ask myself for a long time since I cant pay ADM and dont have a res. I do wish the black diamond had a slightly better shock and a option front locker or limited slip. though.
