Have spent way too much on a vehicle I’m just going to use to take the family to the beach. $500 hammock mount. $900 CO2 tank to inflate SUPs and a sailboat. $3k for wheels and tires. Probably all should have gone to a college fund.
Jeff is correct, they are Fifteen52 Analog HD in white but with black center caps. 17” x 8.5”. Zero offset. 275/75/17. Here’s how they poke with standard flares. I’ve since swapped for SAS flares.
Just wanted to add this to archives in case anyone is thinking about doing this. Wrapped the roof rails in gloss white to match the wheels and soon to be added white script badge. Cost $500 and was immediately scratched when getting the top back on. Should have applied an extra layer of PPF on...
I’m also interested, but because I’d like to cartop one of these with some click-in parts. I think you mentioned somewhere that you were going to visit the factory? Are they accepting customers there? I might go do the same.
I went from never having used a professional detailer, to getting ceramic applied to the Bronco. I’ve only had it on for five months but it is awesome. It was $800 for a “three year” ceramic (by some company called Gliptone) and a “one step” paint correction. Have no idea how long it will last...
Does everyone clean their windows before putting them in the bags? Seems like that wouldn’t always be an option and I’m wondering if putting them in the bags while dirty defeats part of the purpose.
Plus the 27.5lbs the wheels weigh = hoping I never get a flat. The truck jumps and skips all of the horribly broken pavement in New York. They’re currently at 35psi but I’m going to chalk test soon and see if I can get them a few psi lower.
It’s tough for me to say since I’ve never had a set of AT tires before. There is definitely some noise but I had set my expectations really low so I’ve been satisfied. I just assumed all these tires have noise. Also never had a vehicle like this before so to me the whole thing sounds pretty loud...
I have 285 75/17 on my Big Bend manual, non-SAS. Agree with others that the slight increase in diameter has made take off smoother and the gearing a little more practical. I’m getting about 19.5 on 50% highway, 50% 35mph local roads.
I don’t have the hammock gear with me at the moment but will take some photos this Saturday. I have a 7” extender which I use for both the hammock and a Yakima exo rack. My spare is a 285 75/17 on zero offset so it extends off the back quite a bit.
