Base Model Bronco Thread

[Straightbase]

I'm going to put 285/75r16 tires on my 2dr in VB. I thought about staying with the steel wheels but you can get 16" wheels so cheap. The ones I'm looking at are $145 each. I'm going to have 5 new wheels and tires for around $1600-1800.

Are there any suspension mods/spacers needed to fit that tire?

I am happy with my base build, but I wish Ford would have tinted the windows! I will be getting mine tinted as soon as I take delivery.

Ive talked to my dealer and they are tinting mine as soon as it arrives

Nobody knows for sure but IMO I'm assuming it will not be a problem with the stock offset or +18mm aftermarket wheels. I may add spacers, if needed or the way it stands.

Yes, Stephens will tint my windows before I pick it up.

Has anyone with a 2Dr base Sasquatch got a vin yet?

Several people have, yes.

I have a day 1 reservation and was first at my dealer and haven’t heard anything yet, just hoping to get it before Christmas.

wonder if orders are being filled by Region?

Ford would put a 50-state mild tint on it anyway. When I get mine, one of the first things I do will get a good Arizona tint on it, which will be much darker than a factory tint would be.

I like that the base doesn't have tint on the second row doors.
Think about driving, top off and windows up, the diff tint between front and back looks unbalanced and distracts the eye from the profile lines.
I am going to get the mic windows tinted, and leave the doors matching un tinted.

Ya man most people rely on a subscription for music like amazon music or itunes or satellite nowadays. Just easier to carry with u and u dont lose cd’s between the seats and scratch em to all hell when changing while driving. I dont miss those days

Love my Apple Music $100 a year and pretty much everything you could ever want music wise

Who is actually putting their money where their mouth is and getting a base model? Count me in! 2-door, base, 7 speed, and sasquatch of course. Going for cactus grey, I am in AZ after all! I will add aux switches if available. Nothing else I really need, I'll go aftermarket!

I ordered base...only because there is no super ultra-base pure utilitarian version. Had a nearly indestructible bronco 2 which did everything and went everywhere (and actually still goes after 35 years in dusty farm country though very tired). I just wanted to replace it. Not rock climbing here- just dealing with dirt. Have 3/4 ton diesel for tractor and trailer towing. So I would have settled for 150hp 200ft lbs Torque, no turbo, 2 gallon engine oil capacity, two stage air filter system, vinyl and rubber interior, minimal electronics. 4wd with rear limited slip diff is enough. Thought Black Diamond too expensive just to get vinyl and $500 limited slip. but is better choice than base. I think an ultra-base with minimal stuff (anything that can break is bad) might also be popular in Mexico, South America, Russia, and Africa. Land Rover went uptown, became complex and unreliable, got sold to India. Mitsubishi went unibody and soft. Toyota Land cruiser is too expensive. Tacoma more successful. I suspect Ford could walk right back in to all those markets where the need is affordable, capable, simple, and perpetually repairable-and make money.
