Here in Arizona, we don't call scratches Desert Pinstriping for nothing.
Just about everything scratches the clearcoat.
Back East, hardwood tree branches and brush will also do a number on a paint job as well.
I'm happy to hear that where you a wheeling, the paint can be protected from damage...
A lot of new Bronco buyers here are going to rediscover what other 4X4 owners who offroad regularly already know;
Metallic paints are the second worst paint choice for vehicles that will get regularly scratched and chipped by brush, trees and rocks.
Only the Tri-coats, Cyber Orange and Rapid...
Every Jeep JK Wrangler running factory rims and 315/70R17 or 35x12.50R17 tires is using a rim that is technically too narrow for most of the tires.
Nobody is complaining.
@TexAg13 you also lose the skid plate set, rocker protection, AT tires and the optional Advanced Transfer Case going with the BB build over the BD.
It really depends upon what you are up to.
35" tired Sasquatch and 33" Badlands use the same hard parts.
The BL has a sway bar disconnect.
The only real differences are the springs ( taller ride height on the SQ) and the SQ has 10mm bigger bump stops to limit up travel.
Since you will need to replace the springs and bump stops to fit...
I sadly canceled my Granger 2022 reservation.
My love is talking baby and house for 2021.
No way to fund a 4x4 toy on top of that.
At least we'll have a lot of fun working on the making babies part :love:
Not leaving here.
I will just admire your Broncos from afar.
I understand that EOE laws require companies to hire the disabled.
But why did Ford hire every color blind person that they could find for advertising and the color coordination departments?
