All Ford gives a shit about is delivering a few 100 of the priority builds by August so they can claim they "started" deliveries in the summer. Then technically they kept their promise even though most 7/13 reservations get delivered in November.
I asked him on IG when they when they had the wheels on the other Bronco and he confirmed the RTR Bronco has 0 offset wheels and the other one with Trail Grapplers has the +30 offset.
Nice work. I plan on doing the same Tuesday when I go see the Bronco's. Sounds like your measurements line up close with the 0.4" we thought all along.
:LOL: I'm thinking it will be "just right" size wise. I think the bigger problem with the Badlands non sasq look is the wheel offset more than anything.
Another future 2.3 manual Badlands owner here too. I'm thinking RTR 17x9" wheels with +30 and 305/70/17 (34x12") tires. Will give the width and poke without going to a full 35"
This is due to wheel offset. Sas has an 8.5" with +30 and badlands has an 8" with +55. I calculated the Sas should have .73" more clearance off of any inside suspension components.
edit: velocitybrew beat me to it with his diagram.
By seeing the other thread where people were showing their build with res date, it seemed there was no difference. Plenty of Lux and Sas builds with reservation dates past 7/13.
