Black Diamond Bronco Thread

[Sassy BD]

Yeah…I understand. I ended up changing my order to a Black Diamond, no options to get mine from a local dealer. I got my VIN last week, so a super quick turn around since I submitted my order in January. My Granger order is like three years out. I’m thinking about tweaking that order to a Wildtrak with HOSS, but worry about the regret of not getting a Badlands for the Staybar disconnect. Any regrets on going Black Diamond? I wish Ford would have offered HOSS package on it as well.

The HOSS sounds pretty cool, but I have plans for my own suspension upgrades.

I have a lot of pride in my BD. I think you will be happy with it. If you don't go with the BL, you can always get a pair of manual disconnects (that don't reengage @ >20 mph, or whatever it is set to) for a lot less than you think. acfabb.com

Looks Great!!!!!!!!!!!! I changed mine from Eruption Green at the last minute to Velocity Blue (my five year old wanted Velocity Blue.....I think he just liked the name )

Thanks! I absolutely love it. Velocity Blue is an excellent color also!

Mike, what winch and winch mount is that? And, did you get the license plate holder somewhere, or just re-rig something?

It’s the winch plate from JCR off-road, and the license plate is literally hanging on by one bronco bolts on the MOD bumper. I just I put a piece of foam tape on the backside of the plate so it doesn’t rub! It’s only temporary I bought a winch fairlead license plate bracket however it doesn’t accommodate the thickness of my factor 55 FlightLink. So I’ll have to figure something out

Ordered the winch plate. Thank you for the info. In 20-30 business days I may see it.

Don't be surprised if it shows up early! Mine came a full two weeks sooner than what they forecasted!

So whenever my 2021 2dr amb arrives, I want to incorporate grabber blue as an accent. I will do the bronco letters, and powder coat some suspension parts, among other little stuff. I chose grabber blue because it is the blk dmd official badge color. My question is how will it look against the anti matter blue?

RE: Wheel weights. Can't they weight them on the inside of the wheel?

I just measured my height from pavement to the bottom of the fender and I’m 35 1/2 up front and 37 13/16 on the rear passengers side and 37 11/16 on the rear drivers side so there’s an 1/8 of an inch difference on the drivers vs passengers side rear. The tires are inflated the same psi. I don’t get the 1/8 difference from passengers side rear to drivers but probably nothing of concern.

My question is, have others with BD’s noticed that much of a difference from front height to rear? I was thinking of a 1 inch level kit but now I’m wondering if the 1.5 inch level wouldn’t be better. I hadn’t considered it before because I definitely don’t want to look higher in the front than rear.

There is a downward slant at stock. I've heard it's for towing. I lifted mine at the dealer so I can't measure mine. 1" lift in back, 2" in front. Corrected the slant.
