These are a really good find. The bronco has eccentric cams on both lower control arm mounts, so could easily be prone to slipping with time and impact. Paint marking these is also a good way to track if they have moved/shifted.
2dr mic 2.0 on mine, 10/1 build late Sep primer date on the rear section. Color and texture are good, maybe darker than I remember from other demo units. No leaks or popping, even after a trip to the off road park with some significant flexing and crunching.

Don't panic, my mic 2.0 late september build makes no creaking or popping noises or leaks. Wind noise is it's only weak spot - just general wooshing, not air leak sounds. Its a bit louder than I expected, and some of it was the roof rack. Removed that this weekend and it got better.
You can make your own version of this starting with one of these grille guard bars (they have 3 sizes). The 6" one looks about right, then add some clamp on mounts and light bar of choice - 20" bar seems about right

Great comparison pictures, thanks. I'm actually thinking of 0 offset wheels with the badlands 33' K02's so a bit narrower tire (1/2" per side) and closer to flush with the SAS flares.
If it were me, I would do this. Just start another order somewhere else, with decent but not jumbo volume, in a market with lots of Jeep’s. Maybe even more than one extra order. An stick with your build spec, at least for the major mechanicals like sas or badlands. Don’t be stuck on msrp too...
Yes, it is. In the system you can sometimes see 'Sent to Plant' a day before the sticker shows. Keep in mind if your build day is the end of the week, you may not see a window sticker until Sat/Sun for a friday/sat build. Monday build guys would have had their sticker for a few days at that...
Weighed the standard badlands and 285/70/17 KO2s today - 78lbs.
Tire rack lists the KO2 @ 51lbs
So stock badlands wheel is 27lbs for 17x8. Pretty light.
Used these to mount a single rough country pod on each side to add some fog light function. The brackets are solid and have nice adjustment range in the mounting slots for light placement. These lights have an amber DRL so I have that on aux5, lights on aux 6. The DRL is a nice brightness at...
