Base Model Bronco Thread

[Russ1Bronco]

Who is thinking about painting the Base wheels another color until others are available? I'm thinking flat black!

..My plans are ..getting a base..AMB..2.7..A10...and get the wheels and the roof,both painted black...I'd like to go mid black...not flat or glossy..but something in the middle...I'll talk to the body shop guy and pick his brain with pro and cons..

I will wait and see how the stock wheels look. With a beefy MT tire on it, the silver may look good. But if I don’t likeit, I will paint them gloss black like the Black Diamond. I’m up in air between Rapid Red and Velocity Blue On my Base.

Can pod lights be mounted on the standard bumper or would it require the modular and brush guard. I read that pod lights above the hood (factory mount is next to mirrors) are off road only, but I think they would look cool mounted on the bumper. I saw a video of them that way on the fishing concept https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/tour-of-the-bronco-outer-banks-fishing-guide-concept.8935/ but I couldn't tell if they were mounted on the bumper or brush guard?

If you look at the BB and Wildtrak, which use the base bumper, lights are mounted in a cut out on the outboard ends. If you look at the Base bumper you can see the cut out blanks. a hole saw and some home made brackets, wire and your done.

My Base is $3k more on the B&P now than my original Build. Is Base still a Bargain?

 

[Old Guy]

I think so, looks like they finally fixed some obviously wrong B&P issues. If you keep it without SAS, its probably still the great deal it was.

I changed my options because of the increases and now I’m spending less. It’s a bargain for me.
I’m getting a base base with zero options, $29,995.

We'll have to wait for the dust to settle, if it ever does.

There are bugs with it at the moment and it's hard to say. If you stay base Base without Sasquatch and maybe 2.7 & auto, it looks fairly reasonable.

It's when you add Sasquatch that the price jumps over $8k (ouch), making it not so much a deal anymore.

I saw a 2-dr Jeep today at the ice fishing ramp that looked great. I thought that is the exact look I want for my Bronco. Went over and looked at the sidewall, 255/85/16. Not a lot of options in that size, BFG MT looks to be the best.

I think they will look great, and I doubt a lift will be required.

I like the look of a tall skinny tire, wonder how it will look on the Bronco (Base-16" Steels)

 

[DanK14]

Agreed. Was looking forward to a simple basesquatch with 2.7 but not sure if I can justify the current price and also not sure if I have the gumption to go base base and slowly build aftermarket.

As mentioned, waiting for the dust to settle but not overly optimistic.

Base, auto, 2.3l, Velocity Blue or Oxford White. Really want a soft top instead of the hard top.

I was leaning heavily towards base squatch with the V6, but this new B&P changes everything. The total cost is blasted all the way up to near matching a Badlands which I’d be giving up the V6 but getting manual and front disconnect. (And tires but eh.) I have no idea what’s going on or why they’d mess with stuff on Christmas week where it’s likely employees will leave it broken over the coming long weekend. Ford has proven to be a completely incompetent organization when it comes to... well... the whole internet thing.

I’m trying to figure out what the extra is for. I get the tranny and the auto TC add 2390 to the 4995 but where does the rest come from?
