Sounds like you're my kindred spirit from California. We live in Utah and are all about exploring ghost towns, abandoned mines, rock art and ruins! Hoping some day soon to check out Big and Little Petroglyph Canyons in the Coso Range. Can you tell us more about the shocks? Sounds like they're...

Will my manhood be restored, if I hang a pair of those huge plastic nuts on the back of my commuter?

Nope. It's a demonstration of why the G6 has to have at least a rear locker. Glad I went that route with a BD. Looks fun!

Well, so much for my BD being a daily commuter.

You don’t HAVE TO HAVE that stuff. Simply upgrade your battery to a combination starter/deep cycle. That will cost $100 to a $150 more that a normal battery. Good fridges draw hardly any power and have built in volt detectors that shut off the fridge before they drain the battery to the point...

UPDATE: I have to walk back my comment about “E load” tires giving a much harsher ride. Just last week I talked with my local tire/repair shop owner about this very thing. He told me that if you run E rated tires at lower pressures (30-35 psi) there isn’t much of a difference in ride quality...

Check out ICECO portable fridges/freezers. They are high quality products at reasonable prices. They’re very efficient and have built in protection to prevent draining your vehicle battery. I scoffed at electric fridges for years, until I went camping with a friend with one. His smaller $600...

Great point! If I wasn’t confident that the new Bronco can perform in this type of terrain, I would not have ordered one. However, I’m sure there will be the rare occasions that I’ll miss my XJ’s awesome wheel travel and flex.

Although that is definitely a contributing factor, I disagree that it’s more so than the IFS. If both front tires have traction (weighted contact with the rocks), it’s simply easier to climb ledges (with or without a front locker). I’ve wheeled most of the Moab trails with IFS and SFA rigs. When...

Umm. This is more of a demo as to why a front locker is needed with IFS for doing this type of off-roading. My XJ has more front flex with the sway bar connected than the BL with it disconnected—hence why (with the sway bar disconnected) I can tackle the same terrain without a front locker. This...

They’ve created the ultimate mall crawler! The front bumper has potential though.

Nice wheels and great tires! They'll look great on your BL. I like the Baja Boss ATs in the 33x12.50R17 since they have a D load rating, but if they are too wide, I'll go with the LT315/70R17 Es.

Welcome aboard! You go to the front of the crazy train though, since you bought wheels and tires! I'm holding out on tires. I really want Mickey Thompson 33x12.50R17 Baja Boss ATs, but I'm a little nervous about that wide a tire fitting on a Black Diamond without a lift. So I'll wait and hope...

Yep, second day at 5. My dealer didn't let me know either. I found out about it here at bronco6g! I wasn't able to see them at Moab a couple weeks ago, so this will be my first in person experience. Hopefully I won't be disappointed, which I doubt considering my current 4x4 is a 1998 Jeep XJ...

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully next week! Are you going to the Bronco event at the Living Planet Aquarium in May?

Looks like a lot of us in Utah got our notice today. There might be something to that—Ford wants us to show off our Broncos in a heavy Jeep market. I will do just that!

The difference may be that I’m with a small town dealer and my reservation date puts me high in the allocation order. I hesitated to post my build notice, as I’ve felt the anguish that many of you feel. Not that it helps, but I give my sincere condolences to those who did not get an email today.

Woo whoo! My 2-Door Black Diamond, 2.3L, Auto, Advance T-Case, is schedule for production the week of June 21st. The only add ons are the roof rack and Tow package. Thanks to my wife (she reserved a Bronco for my 31st anniversary gift) I'm a 7/14 reservation holder.

Here they are, neatly stacked in my garage. Have wheels. Bronco needed!

There’s been a lot of discussion about that on the forum. The general consensus is that they will fit without a lift, assuming wheels with +55 mm (or close to) offset. However, we may have to remove or modify the crash bars inside the wheel Wells.
