I ordered mine when I placed the actual
Order. I want to say they were $90 BUT that was then

But that is before they added the ADM.

You can always get yours painted too!! Or find a CO OBX that wants to trade If you dont mind giving up the wider flares.

Yes...I bought the stuff to paint them.

Jessica...are your fenders flexible? The Sasquatch flares are a bit flexible...I wonder if the paint (primer adhesion, base, mid, clear coats) will crack or flake over time.

So, I just got an email from Ford saying hey check out these features in your new Bronco.
I was so excited to figure out how to set my seat memory.
Alas, I still cant figure it.. any suggestions for an old man who clearly cant read?

How is the stubby working??? I’ve got it sitting here but I haven’t wanted to install it. Has it affected your reception at all?

I installed mine the day after taking delivery and just tried FM of a very local channel this weekend, hardly any reception I really only use Sirius and CarPlay so I’ll live

I spoke to my body shop and they said they would have to encapsulate the fender flares to paint them, but would be very durable. He quoted me $ 300.00 per fender flare and I grew to love the gray just fine.

Installed my IAG soft top lift assist today - works great for propping up the back. Haven't taken the top all the way down to see how much it helps you raise it from there. Seems like it should help though. Im a little concerned how much it kinks the rear windows when you prop up the back since it lifts it a bit more than stock. I asked them in their thread if they have any advice.

Also washed and detailed it after the road trip, since it was plastered with bugs.

How easy were they to install?

Hmmm...what does that mean, "encapsulate", them?

I think it does affect performance and reception a little. I don't use FM that much, so I prefer the stubby aesthetics over the long antenna.

I assume it means to cover the entire fender in a paint adhesion compound.

I am gonna try it myself. The, "How To"' link described plastic adhesion promoter, but not excapsulation paint. Google seems to refer to it as paint that goes over lead-based paint.

Anxious to see your results.
