New 2022 OBX Owner

[usmc_joe]

Hi everyone, Glad to be part of the community. Located in FL. This is my first Bronco and loving it. Definitely have lots of questions so forgive my ignorance .

2022 OBX
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285x70r18 (33.98x11.5)
No lift or level
Crash bars still installed
IAG Fender Delete (Still testing to make sure they don't cause to much splash on the side. I think the side steps help with that quite a bit)

Looking good, very clean...same model and color as mine! I do like the fender deletes. My eye did go to the pinch welds though. You might consider these in the future. Friendly suggestionhttps://accessories.ford.com/FordUSAccessories/bronco-4dr-2021-trail-armor-rocker-panels-1

Yes agree 100%. My eye is always going to those damn pinch welds. I was looking at these which are a bit cheaper. Just covers not Rocker panels. https://dv8offroad.com/products/4-d...vduM9YYCg98NOB9LuZI3c6TzE15uA8ohoCUs4QAvD_BwE

Thanks I"ll check those out. Can these be mounted with the side steps in place?

i removed my side steps, but yes, the rock slide cinch straps only cover pinch weld seam

Looks awesome! I was thinking of removing my side steps but since I added the fender deletes I think they keep a lot of extra splash off the sides so I'm going to keep them for now. If I go the way of larger wheels\tires I'll probably put my flares back on and remove the side steps.

thanks and good point - I ended up adding front mud flaps to make up for no side steps
