This is awesome! Did you have a 3d rendering to work with, or are you making this from scratch? Also, what software are you using if you don't mind sharing?
One item I definitely want in hand before taking delivery is a quality satellite emergency locator beacon.
I might even go a step further and get a sat phone or a satellite internet hot spot.
They certainly aren’t cheap, but I plan on taking the Bronco to some pretty remote locations and...
This.
Here is a better view of the material from this thread:
EDIT: Here is a picture I took myself of the pre production liner on the overland concept from SuperCel East:
It also gives a nice view of the fender flare quick release clips. I got some odd looks from people as I was rolling...
Thanks @LabradorGuy for sharing this awesome story with us.
Its great to know that the MAP workers are so proud of what they are building that they didn't hesitate to show off the Broncos to you!
I gotta say, an 11 hour round trip is some serious dedication considering you didn't even know for...
I don't have an answer for you about removing one half of the rear seat, but I believe it was confirmed from pictures that the rear seats are mounted on studs that come out of the floor.
This could cause some issues with placing a crate back there.
I'm definitely hoping that we can remove half...
This. Today's leather/vinyl products are worlds better than they were decades ago. Care for it properly and I think it will outlast the cloth.
Personally I prefer the MGV.
We did something similar about 5 years ago.
Flew in to salt lake, drove to Moab, camped at Arches NP then rented a Jeep to head into Canyonlands NP.
The Jeep rental for 3 days costed more than our regular rental for 10 days, but it was so worth it. Can't wait to do it all over again in our...
I really hope you are right, but I'm not counting on it. The only confirmation I could find was someone's dealer assuring them they were included. If the ordering guide is anything like the packaging guide or B+P, then it's still a mistery.
I'll quote everyone's favorite Ford employee (aside...
Definitely not cheap, but if there is one thing worth getting from them, it's their wrenches. I've had mine for 17+ years and they perform like they are brand new.
I I'm no tool snob though... I keep them in a Harbor Freight tool chest right next to the chinesium stuff.
Rock rails because Ford changed their mind and no longer includes them with Badlands trim. ***EDIT: this might be false information***
12v Fridge + Slide system for it
Foglights because for whatever reason a $55k build doesn't include them
I'm not trying to hijack this thread but while we are on the topic of badass off road recovery rigs, be sure to check out Matt's Off Road Recovery Corvair wagon build:
I will also add that if anybody has never been to Moab/Arches/Canyonlands and is considering it, DO NOT HESITATE!
It is an...
That is one awesome rig!
I especially like this quote from the article:
A difficult tow can run nearly $2000, but Irish is always willing to bargain. "I've been there, and I've dealt with these issues personally," he says. "I'm not going to prey on that."
I personally hope that if I see...
Here is a graph that was posted on a similar thread a while back:
The frustrating part is the auto manufacturers claim that they are making vehicles in boring colors because that's what people buy.
Did they ever consider people are buying boring colors because they are making more of them?
We...
After enjoying so many of these pics and stories I figured I'd contribute:
This is Rigsby. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he has been on countless adventures with us:
I had never even been to the off topic section until today and this is the first thread I see!
Love the sticker and I sent an email. I demand to compensate you in some way if these are still available!
Thank you!
It's an 18 hour drive, but that $1000 off and no BS would almost be worth it. I could rent a car, drop it off near Granger and then take delivery. I would also be closer to the area I would immediately drive the Bronco to anyway...
Definitely tempting.
Thanks @BigHoof!
I had to look up what 99 means and it seems that it's essentially a placeholder to get me in the system. Is that correct? If so that is exactly what I am looking for.
Now I need to find a dealer who can work with me knowing they won't be making any money off of me in the...
Thank you @Toccoa, this is exactly the info I was looking for.
Time to start researching dealers in the southeast. All the local dealers seem to have a bunch of BS fine print and add-ons. I wish there was dealer like Granger in my area.
