I'm fixing my bright silver rims the upscale way.

Rustoleum, not cheapo Krylon. ?

Always had a hot spot for 1st gens -- just wish they offered it w/ a 4dr/5spd variant for that generation.

Got a 1st gen t4r myself! Love seeing yota guys on here ??

that's a sweet 1st gen. you have.
They are expensive as hell here in AZ.

The one I posted is a nice rig, but it's not mine.

Just posted something on the 255/85r16s, that looked right.

2 door
Anti-Matter Blue
2.3
10 speed auto

Putting on 32’s keeping the steelies add a bull bar and running boards and call it a day!!

I thought about that too but was wondering are the same springs used between Base and Big Bend models to allow a 32 ?

I found the answer in another thread ,,,,,

I am guessing that the base with manual, either 2 or 4 door, will offer the best chance for retained resale value. In 2007, I purchased a 2 door JK X with air conditioning being the only option for $18.5k out the door. With the annual increases in base pricing, in 2011 and with 70k miles I got $18k for it. $500 for over 3 years and 70k miles of use is about as good as it gets in a mass production vehicle. My hope is that the Bronco will be similar, but it will require the base price to continually increase and high perceived value in the base Bronco. I do think that the ingredients are there, but time will tell the rest.

Base price is way too high for that to be a possibility. Best case scenario is keeping up with the 4Runner and current Wrangler, both at the top of the ladder in resale.

I would completely agree with you if the base price was low 20s, hitting essentially 30k new, no way.

I don't disagree, at all. If it was low 20's, I'd be gambling on that myself.

I'm probably down with that route as well. Pending the cost of the Sasquatch option. One possible fly in the ointment, would be if Ford only allows certain colors on the base models. Hope that is not the case. Has anyone seen mention of color options?

From what we've been able to tell, the cool colors, Cactus Gray & Area 51, aren't available in the base package. Here is a copy of the last color chart that we've seen. Things have probably changed 100 times since then.

I’m almost positive I’ve moved from a 2dr BD to a base mansquatch and will add the aux switches. Unless the steel bumper is cheap, I’ll wait for the aftermarket. Same with skids. Fold down tray for the back gate.

Should be a lot of vehicle for the price.

2dr mansquatch about 2k less than BD? Add in aux and bumber and hoping to be about 500 under still?

6g was supposed to be my last brand new car. I was gonna go for it and get a Badlands.? But I've been disappointed with a few of the design decisions so I can't justify going big for a vehicle that's not perfect in my eyes. Was bummed for awhile thinking I'd just wait for the next gen model "fixes", 2-3 years away. Too long!? So now I might just go ultra cheap.

2Dr Base, Manual. Wish I could get Area 51, settle for Carbonized Gray.

Won't feel as bad doing mods. Maybe some tacoma takeoff rims and tires. Rip out carpet. Remove one of the rear seats. Etc.

Still not sure though. I'm still checking ads for used rubicons.

My base model 2017 Wrangler cost $27,000 new.
Current KBB after 3 years and <30,000 miles? $26,000

If anything the higher trim levels pull up the lower level models resale.
It doesn't have the Rubicon front axle, gears or T case. But most buyers are clueless about that.
It just looks bitchin' on 35"s and lifted to them.

Future used Bronco buyers will be the same IMHO.

I went from Badlands reservation to Base 4dr mansquatch which will probably be about $45k OTD which is acceptable to me for this vehicle. Once I’m over $50-$55k I’m just not getting a 4cyl Bronco. I would get a sports car, maybe convertible, maybe GT350 or M4.

My only issue with Basemansquatch is no marine vinyl or washout floor but I can do some seat covers and maybe remove carpet and spray the floor or something. I don’t like the grill much but that’s gonna be a simple fix
