Nice, I’d also throw the sound of my 2017 GT350 (5.2L Voodoo V8) in with the awesome sounding V8’s, when nearing the 8K+ redline and “snicking through the 6sp manual trans…what an absolute magical experience. Loved that you could only get the 6-sp manual trans👍 My apologies OP, waaay off track...

Fantastic, thank you!! that’s exactly what I was hoping to see! Looks great, not too much poke at all. Great to see I can get the 315/70R17’s on my oem (takeoff) Wildtrack wheels with OBX flares👍. More tire options….

Here’s stock:will post lift when I get new pics, only one I have won’t load (too large)

LOL, I’ll get a pic today with all stock vs stock wheels with lift, then post new set up when done later this week.

They do, but after tons of research leaning towards Toyo Open Country A/T IIIs in the 35x11.5 17 size. Will be about 1” skinnier than the 315/70R 17s so should help with poke and be about 6lbs/tire lighter. It’s those or back to the BFG K02s, in the 315/70 size (C). Had those on Raptor but...

Thanks OP for posting this. I have the exact same issue with my top on the clamshell. Only in a couple of small areas so far, but noticed it first day I brought it home. Firm believer in many times the cure is worse than the cause, (otherwise the top fits fine and is reasonably quiet), so...

Coming soon to a theater near you…new wheels/tires going on next week, will post then…

Finally getting my Bronco sorted. 6112’s went on today And what a HUGE diff over the stock OBX Hitachi coilovers. Brake dive is pretty much gone instead, firmer/more solid ride (not harsh by any means), but much more confidence inspiring. Only driven 40mi. so far but will report back on new...

Just my 02, but I have a 2023 OBX with adv 4x4 (rear locker, 4.27 gears, etc) that I purchased this past July. Just had Bilstein 6112s installed today. When I ordered in March of 2023 SAS was still a constrained item, (per my dealer), so I passed on it. I’m now paying (more) to get my own SAS...

You’d think after all these years of “throttle by wire” they’d have figured it out by now. Had a 2001 Lincoln LS with the 3.9L V8 (my 1st computer controlled auto) and it had the same issues…low end, light throttle acceleration and it had a horrible hesitation…like the various computer modules...

Yeah, same here, my 2.7 (2023 OBX) has about 3500 miles on it and it has noisy start up and lumpy idle - particularly at cold start up. Quiets down once warm, but still sometimes feel the lumpy idle. Don‘t recall my 2018 Raptor 3.5 being this noisy (in general) until the cam phasers went bad...

Nice, looks like a great trip. Hollister Hills is definitely on my list! Thanks for sharing…

OK, (flame suit on 😊), what if I was to go with 305/70 vs 315/70? 305s are 1/2” narrower, (reducing poke) & likely still fit the take-off Wildtrack wheels…thoughts? thx…

THANK YOU, that’s what I was coming up w/based on everyone’s feedback above👍

Yeah, I’ve been looking at ppf, likely pull the trigger once I’m finished w/wheels & flares, thx!

Thanks HD, that pic really helps, looks like I’ll see what the OBX flares cover then source SAS flares if necessary. I’m thinking up to 1.5” poke would be ok…

Thanks all for your insight! Jdoc92 looks like you have about what poke I’ll end up with, 35x12.5 A/T’s, SAS Wildtrack wheels and stock OBX flares. Assuming the OBX flares are close to the width of your non-SAS Badlands flares. Your poke is not too bad and I could live with that.

All, am having 6112s installed next week (adjusted for a a 2” lift on a non-SAS 2023 OBX). I purchased take-off Wildtrack wheels from a member here and am looking to go with 315/70 17 A/T tires. While I have read many of the posts here on “poke” can anyone post a pic or tell me the difference...

Ditto, mine makes all kinds of popping/thunking/whirring/clicking noises as it sleeps/wakes/cools down…

looking good gents, I picked up a take-off capable bumper for my OBX and have been looking for a mini bull bar for lights and this looks very feasible. thx for sharing!
