Mud Flaps to go with Hoop Steps?

[lwilliams34]

Yep, 2023. Ordered June 17th, took delivery September 20th. Maybe the fastest ordered Bronco 95 days!

Congratulations! How are you liking it so far? Any regrets? I have an order for a big bend which I placed in Sept, but have not heard anything yet regarding scheduling. I keep going back and forth on whether I should have stepped up to the black diamond or the sasquatch pkg. Can I ask what you spec'd your black diamond with?

Thanks, so far so good. No issues knock on wood. Just hit 1100 miles. I’m retired so not driving it everyday. Spec’d with
BD model 2door, V6/auto, optional wheels which are standard for the 24’s, mid package with hoop steps, rubber mats and cargo tray. Oh yeah and the paint color. I didn’t feel that I needed the SAS package. Bigger tires bigger expense, plus more road noise and more stone chips. So far I’ve added mud guards in the front, wheel locks so the spare doesn’t disappear, hood air deflector and hood struts plus the side protectors posted earlier in this thread. Just yesterday I added some lick and stick colored items from Tufskinz . No regrets, love to drive it. The only major fault is the back seats are useless. Their to hard to get to but I really don’t need em. It’s just the wife and I using it.
I think you will love it no matter which trim level you buy, good luck.

thanks.. and thank you for the additional tips on things to purchase. Never thought about the wheel lock for the spare. I did not get the Sasquatch pkg either as i will not be rock crawling with it and mainly doing flat roads if I want to venture off.
I'm about 5 years from retirement, so this is a bit early for me, but life's short and I wanted something fun to drive that I can take the top off. Looking at adding the retractible soft top roof from Bestop. Very happy I selected the Azure Gray color.. placed my original order with cactus, but then saw it in person and was a bit underwhelmed. The next day I was at Walgreen's and saw a bronco sport with the azure gray and changed my order the next day.

The AGM is the absolute best color yet on the Bronco. I originally wanted a heritage in this color but changed to the BD. Had second thoughts about the white wheels and white roof, too hard to keep clean. Plus if I went that route I would still be waiting for it. My next want will be a front to rear tape stripe, maybe heritage style. By the way after you buy your Bronco you’ll get 42,000 points towards purchasing add on accessories. It’s about $210. Worth of free stuff. So some things like wheel locks can come after delivery .

Yes, thanks for reminding me about the reward points. I have acquired some from my Shelby Mustang as well.
Will most likely use them for the accessories and/or service.
The heritage editions are overpriced in my opinion. I can understand a little price increase due to the uniqueness.. maybe it's the limited manufacturing process of the paint, upholstery, etc...
I like the idea of starting with the big bend and then customizing to my liking and adding anything I would deem necessary depending upon how far I would go down the off road trail. I can see myself doing some back roads and trails here in WI, but no rock crawling. I don't have that kind of time and money.
The back seats will be folded down for me most of the time as I need to haul equipment in the back. The 4 door is just too big for my needs and I need it to be nimble as I spend most of my day around town and some hwy trips. My daily is a 2016 Mazda CX5 hatch right now which is a smaller vehicle. I really love the utility of the Mazda and if it weren't for the "call of the Bronco" I would be driving it until the wheels fell off. It's been a great reliable runner for me. It also doesn't have any of the electronic assist stuff and actually trusts me to drive the car and stay in my lane.
Hoping that some of the horror stories of issues does not come my way. Everything has gotten so electronic these days that it's hard to avoid it.

Amen to that. I am super technically challenged. Retired from Honda dealership 35 years parts and service. Before that 10 year’s managing a chain of auto part stores.
