Even with Running boards, the wife still needs help getting up in the SAS Wildtrak. This solution provides max clearance at minimal cost:

Throw it in back and you're all set.
Did this when had our '96. Drilled a hole in it and threaded a string through it so she could pull it up after she got in.

First thing I did was get the entire vehicle ceramic coated including wheels and glass. Was $1,800. Six months later and I'm very happy I did. It's extremely easy to wash and get shiny/glossy with the ceramic coat on.

First, replaced my single accessory mount with a AR SLAP and added a 67 designs phone mount. Then added a JCR off-road cargo basket.
What bit do you use to remove the screws?

Put gas in it. I wasn't going to have my shitty dealer charge me $9 a gallon for them to do it.
Why would they not have filled it for you before you drove it off the lot? I asked for it to be filled and detailed (again).

Why would they? It was a fight to not have them upcharge me an idiotic dealer markup on the order with an already signed purchase agreement. They had magical "issues" converting my day one reservation into an order on conversion day. Then a different "something" happened on my second (conversion day) reservation so I had to do a third order several days later. Those "something happened" reservations were converted into orders by the dealer so that the dealer could sell those Broncos with massive markups. Shitty dealer will do shitty things. lol

Man sorry to hear that. I did not have a mark up on my bronco and they honored the 2020 price (minus the upgrades I added for 2 years) when I ordered. I asked for a full tank of gas before I left. No problem at all.

0 - Tint. Had the dealership do ceramic tint, 35% front, 20% on the rear/cap
1 - removed dealership sticker that I told them not to install
2 - reinstalled headreast backwards.
AZ_Liberty do you mind posting a picture of how that tint turned out? Was planning doing the same but didn't know how dark to go.

Took off the effing dealer sticker. No way was I going to give them advertising after they screwed me.

I put steps on the added red tow shackles on the front, I had the ceramic coat under coating applied and a windshield coating to reduce cracks and chips. then a added mud and dirt .

Unfortunately I had to put gas in it. Gauge said 15 miles before empty.
My dealer includes a full tank of gas with every car they sell, even used cars.

I’ve never bought a vehicle that didn’t have a full tank of gas when I drove off a lot ….. or it would still be there 😂😂😂
