The engine bays look a lot cleaner in person than in the pics. Especially the 2.3L, but even the 2.7L was a lot better than I expected. The pics make them look crazy.

I'm assuming you are talking about the 2dr, and for that I agree. But on the 4dr, the value of the base compared to the BB isn't there. I am not getting Sasquatch, it's just not a good fit for what I will use it for. If I was to purchase a base 4dr I would have immediately spent at least $2K for...

Ford definitely kept the Base unappealing to the majority of buyers. Unless you go Squatch it's a tough sell. I ended up moving up to a Big Bend to get the 4.27 locking rear and all the extras for just a few thousand more.

Cyber actually looks good on the Sport. On the standard Bronco? Not so much. Opposite for Cactus Gray. Seeing CG in person on a real full-size Bronco was a game-changer for me. Changed my order to it that day.

True, because the dirty secret is that a BB with the 4.27 locker is thousands less than other trims but still with all the basics covered - just a good set of tires away from being capable and reasonably equipped for $40K (4dr).

When I get my Big Bend in a few months I'll post pics so people can see one without those stupid mud flaps 🤣

I ordered a BB, and upped to the 4.27 locker. Add some good tires and it's just as off-road worthy as the rest of them!

Wow, I didn't know the standard lights kept the amber running lights on all the time. Bonus! It looks great. A little disappointed the tail lights are not LED, but seriously who cares...I've never had to change a tail light bulb in my life, and they are in the back anyway.

They can work out the final production bugs with the "priority" orders.

Awesome work on this thread. I'm just going to throw some 285/70R17's on stock Big Bend rims, so looks like clearing the suspension components and crash bars won't be an issue. Nobody will be able to tell the difference between these and a 33.3" tire really. Worth it to not be so tight on clearance.

Try this and let me know if it works: Method MR313 Black Painted (tirerack.com)

I almost did the same thing - TireRack has Method 313's on sale from $333 each down to $195 that fit the Ranger/Bronco. Both Titanium and Black. But I decided to just keep the Big Bend wheels and put some good 285/70 R17 tires on them instead.

Not really, but the Big Bend sure does.

You can see the tabs to pull out the insert on the inside, so thankfully they are there.

My thoughts: Interior materials did not impress me generally (I think our Jeep’s interior is nicer) Same observation I had - While not bad, certainly not what I am used to since my DD is a 2015 Mazda 6. On par with my '06 Pathfinder though, so as long as they hold up I'm not too worried about...

I think the production top will be closer to flat black and not match as well as these pre-pro/prototype tops. I think that's actually a good thing. I'm not getting Carb Gray, but it's a little too matchy-match for my taste. Would rather the top match the trim/flares/etc.

Did you try the rear seat recline? I'm happy to hear I was wrong about this!

All the gas in CA is considered "top tier", so unless I see/feel a big difference running premium I'll stick to standard grade. I'm fairly sure I won't.

I haven't been in a JL so can't say. I suspect it's pretty similar.

Man, the forums are getting dicey these days. I may have to pop on a flannel and some easy listening and head over to Bronco Nation :ROFLMAO:
