Care to share a pic of you Rubicon Wheels, just want to have an idea how they look and I can start dreaming of Bronco with the same wheels.

Same here - I was fortunate enough (stupid enough?) to score a First Edition - but I also reserved a base 2 door. Gonna build it with locking differentials and nothing else, basy basic base base base... All that's left is to figure out how I'm gonna pay for the 2, and do I order them in the same color?
First, these are the stock 5 spoke aluminum wheels with 235 85 16 Cooper AT3, with the Base Bronco you would have steel and I would go with 255 85 16 ST Maxx, which are about an 3/4 inch taller and wider. If I had known about the 255's I would have gotten them instead. Note: the Rubicon wheels are 8" wide which is too wide for the 235's. The Bronco Base wheels are 7" wide which will be fine for either, but I would go with the 255's

Hi, All!
Been lurking for a while now. Just pulled the reservation trigger and reserved a Base 4 door. Plan is automatic(think it's standard), 2.7 and Sasquatch. Assuming this comes in under or at the BD 4 door with automatic. Color probably Antimatter Blue, though Iconic Silver may slide in as could Carbonized Gray. I also hope that 35" A/T will be a no-cost option.

Hello everyone, thanks for all the great info!
My wish is to have the 2 door 2.7 manual with heated seats, privacy glass, 17" wheels, vinyl floor, modular roof and that slide shelf. Since this also needs to be my daily ride and finances are always a thing, I will probably get the 2dr, 2.3 with auto and add on comforts later. Being new to off road fun, I want to add on what I need as I learn.
Right now it seems like the Base will have limited options available. Does this mean it is not equipped to handle the extras on the electric system? Should I be concerned trying to add on later will incur hefty electrical work?
Will it be an issue getting modular roof or larger wheels - no Sasquatch at the time I order? Is Ford going to punish me for getting base model?.................................

Welcome!
Bad news most likely a slide out shelf won’t be had on a 2 door as an option and most likely neither will vinyl flooring on the base trim. You would need to jump up to the black diamond...
Either way the base will be a awesome Bronc
No manual with 2.7l.
No info on different size alternators so Base should be the same as any other trim - no problems with electric and you can even get the pre-wired auxiliary switches on Base.
If you want a lot of options you will have to go up in trim (no mod roof on base). Planning to buy stuff like hard tops from Ford after the fact will be pricey but there will be lots of aftermarket alternatives.

Odds of an aftermarket hard top are pretty slim. There isn’t one for jeeps after all.
If You’re on a budget best thing is base+powertrain stuff you want+hard top+aux switches. Those will be the hardest things to change down the road.

Any one have a good guess on how much the hardtop will be?

Looks like it would cost +/- $1500 (as Jeep sells it for $1250)
