Greetings from NE Oklahoma!

Hello from NE Oklahoma!

We bought our Ruby Red Metallic 2025 Bronco Big Bend /w Black Diamond package last December and couldn’t be happier.

It’ll primarily be my wife’s daily driver but we also plan to take it to Colorado and some off-road events.

This forum’s already been a wealth of information as we customize or Bronco!

Go west young man! Do one of the off-rodeos you won’t regret it.

Welcome... and a suggestion...

Steal the car keys back from your wife and make it YOUR daily driver. Don't share your toys!

I hear statistically, the leading cause of divorce in the USA is men not getting enough Bronco at home and that leads to off-road infedility...Don't be a statistic and work that out now with your wife, before it's too late, and she catches you with a Raptor!

Welcome and congrats on the new Big Bend!

Have you got any plans for the Bronco yet, or thinking about adding anything to it down the road? Always love hearing what people have planned!

That’s definitely on our list to do!

LOL! Not to worry, I have plenty of toys of my own!

Along with a tractor and two Harley’s I have a 2020 Ranger crew cab Lariat Fx4 that I plan to give a facelift to soon with a leveling kit, new wheels, and some bigger tires.

After decades of driving “practical” cars to haul groceries, kids, and grandkids, I told her it was time for her to buy something fun.

Biggest mod so far was upgrading the stock 265/70R17 tires with 285/70R17 Goodrich KO3’s. I also plan to do a 1” to 1.5” lift soon.

Smaller mods are IAG grab handles and Mabett roof panel storage bags, phone holder, hood prop, side steps, and interior mats.

For now my wife drives it to work and we use it around town on the weekends. Occasionally we’ll also use it to pull our motorcycle trailer when we don’t want to take the toy hauler.

Eventually when we decide to sell our toy hauler we’ll probably replace it with a class C motorhome and tow the Bronco behind it

That’s a solid setup so far! The 285 KO3s are definitely a nice upgrade, and I think that 1–1.5” lift will really finish off the look.


Sounds like you’ve got a pretty good plan for it too. Having it as the daily/weekend vehicle but still being able to tow the motorcycle trailer gives you a lot of flexibility. And eventually towing the Bronco behind a Class C would be a pretty sweet setup!


Thanks for sharing the build with us! Feel free to hit us up if you ever need anything. We're always happy to help out the forum members with questions, recommendations, or discounts when we can!

You have a great day!

Welcome! I take it Little Blue Disney and Bunker Bomb are probably out, you could do the Kiamichi (K) Trail though, it's pretty in the fall I hear.
