Base Model Bronco Thread

[Inventor]

To me, the base squatch is worth it if you plan on off-roading. Gears, axles, lockers, suspension cheaper than the basic BD. A base,2dr mansquatch looks like a whole lot of vehicle for the money. Add the aux switches and then upgrade other things through aftermarket as needed.

I found the Aux switches option on the f-150 listed at only $165.

Only thing missing is no factory tow hitch/wiring on base.

Is anyone else mad they are only offering the rear locker with sasquatch? This should be an option for all trims without sasquatch.

I noticed that too. I'd started to settle on getting only a rear locker as an upgrade but found it to be unavailable on the base model.

I also just found out we're limited on colors but after seeking out and getting a bright crazy color for my current car and not loving it so much anymore, I'm okay with getting white or such!

Les than $200 and an hour of your time.

I hope that’s at least a junction box for the wiring because I passionately hate cutting into factory wiring.

You haven’t had to cut into wiring in a long time, although some do to save $10. Most of the add on harnesses plug into the blinker/taillight harness.

I don’t think I’ve ever had to buy a harness as every body on frame vehicle I’ve ever bought had a hitch as standard equipment. I wasn’t aware they had harnesses like that.

Most are plug and play for the specific vehicle and take about 15 minutes to install.

That’s not bad then.

Can you provide a link? I just want to see a YouTube video on how to do it. I recently replaced a taillight on a 2010 Malibu which I thought would be moderately hard because of taking trim pieces off, but with a little YouTube video, I figured out to do it and saved $75 in labor.

I don’t have a link, but you can search on YouTube as well as I can. Take off the rear taillight lens, unplug harness, plug in new harness, replug original harness, replace taillight lens. If you can work a screwdriver, you can do it.


edit to add:
Here’s one for a Tacoma, which is the last one I’ve actually done.

About 235/65R17 (29x9R17) AFIK.

Why??

35s, because otherwise Sasquatch comes in the middle of the night and swaps out your tires for 35s

I would prefer 33s for a daily driver. Want Sasquatch everything except 35s. Wanted to know tire options if keeping same wheels.
It was either keep base wheels and size up or Sasquatch and size down.
