Black Diamond Bronco Thread

[JesseS]

My Jeep is 7 years old. I have 3.73 running on 35’s. I can still use overdrive on a 5 gear auto. You will be fine with what the Bronco comes with and you have more gears.

I wish the BD came with the high package. Or at least 360 camera available add on.

Myself included, but you never know, the fat lady won't sing until the B&P comes out

Wheels are the last thing I would worry about. You'd pay the upcharge to BL instead of just finding and buying wheels for $1000 that you like instead? You can even recoup that cost by selling your brand new take-offs.

agreed. Even if I get Squatched, I will most likely get new wheels and tires. I think there are some better looking, lighter choices out there and my Bronco will look just a little different than the 1000s of other Broncos that will be on the road.

Vr- 602s in the 17” variety for me, unless a wheel with similar weight/price and no fake bead lock bolts becomes available.

These are the optional black diamond wheels. These and the optional badlands wheels are the best wheels offered in my opinion.

I'm leaning towards Badlands now (as I don't think the 210 front and disco will be stand-alone options) but prefer the steelies on the Black Diamond over all other wheel options. Will probably end up trading somebody locally with Black Diamond steelies after delivery if it works out (not including tires!).

Anyone familiar with wheel/tire fitting know if the BD steel wheels will fit with the Sasquatch 35 tires?

I know the bead lock capable wheels are expensive and somewhat sought after. But I like the look of the steel wheels better. And I’m not ever going to put a bead lock on them anyway.

I would like to get Sasquatch with 35’s but the black diamond steel wheels. Sale the Sasquatch wheels.

Is that combination compatible?

Hey!!
these are nice. Look really similar to those ones on BL wheel upgrade too, but without the warm alloy ring.
Those ones are juuuuuust about enough for me to move up to BL ?

The 7.5” wide rim on the black diamond should fit fine with the Sasquatch tires. Here’s the recommended fitting for a Goodyear Duratrac A/T from Discount Tire. I assume fitment will be similar for the Territory tires.

Just check manufacturers specs for rim width. Normally most tires wider than 285 need an 8 in rim or wider. The steelies are 7.5 inches. I plan to run 285/75/17s on mine.

I’m now wondering about base or BB with manual squatch and aux switches might give me everything I want for less.

That B&P can’t get here soon enough.

I’ve kind of had that feeling too. All I want the mid package for is heated seats and BB has that already. So I could go BigManSquatch and not worry about mid package. That might squeeze in under $40k. Would then have to add aftermarket bash plates and rock rails.

I've been thinking that I am probably going to be upgrading to the Badlands, and it has a lot to do w/ the package availability but mostly I can't get past the headlights. I love the signature headlights in the Badlands trim. Depending on B&P I'll be sticking with the Black Diamond and going Sasquatch or going Badlands stock.

 

[Darforce]

Black diamond with the optional 17" aluminum wheels sounds just right for me. Not a fan of the look of steelies.

Anyone seen what these look like?

 

[Darforce]

So, recent speculation about squatch and the manual transmission has me rethinking the BD. Also seems the washout interior may not be quite what I was expecting.

What do you feel is not living up to your expectations with the floor. This was a major factor in my decision. I want to make sure I didn’t miss anything.

about 43,600 with the 2.3 and 45,600 with the 2.7 based on what pricing assumptions are out now. That’s with the mid package and NO hard top, roof rack or tow package. Don’t know about trail doors.
