Official Big Bend Club

[Big Boss]

Picked up our big bend a couple months ago. So far we've just added 1" front level and 285 70 17 ridge grapplers.

How do you like the ridge grapplers? That's the tire I'm drawn to if I pull the trigger to replace the stock ones

I love the ridge grapplers. I ran them on my jeep for a few years. Ride is good, quiet. They look great. They work well for the trails/fire roads we ride around here.

Good to hear. They look amazing, total meathead reason to like them lol

Any experience with them in snow? I've heard some people say they aren't great in snow

I just like the way they look
We don't get much snow in north Mississippi. The one good snow we got last year, my wrangler with the grapplers did not handle great. My bfgs seemed to handle the snow better

The look is my main reason for liking them as well hahaha

Disappointing about the snow performance though. We get a decent amount here outside of Chicago so sub par snow performance is a bit of a downer. I have heard that now from several people. I see that size on Nitto's website has several versions which one did you get?

Thanks. The only issue I had was with one of the shackle brackets that I had to use a dremel to open the hole a bit to fit the shackle pin through. No drilling or cutting with the nudge bar. My truck has the mid package so no front sensors or camera so no issues there.

Regarding the RC Nudge Bar: how solid is it - does it flex much? I watched the install video and the install looks easy, I'm just curious how it will hold up over time vs. shaking loose.

So far it has been pretty solid. No shaking or rattling. I even accidentally kissed it with my snow blower about a month ago and no issues other than scratching some of the finish off.

I hate snow.

Just wanted to say the Big Bend has the best grille

Got my winch installed.

Man, this almost identical to my setup, though I'll have the safari bar and I'll be getting the winch plate from RC when they release. The Big Bend grille looks great with the Sig lights and Cactus Gray.

Hey all, all these awesome pics got me pumped for my big bend, hoping for production next week! Just wanted to shout out that i'll mail you some stickers from my hat company - https://wildhatco.com - I'm a sticker and hat junky, and the wild hat co. brand is a rugged/outdoorsy brand, similar to the bronco as a car.
Anyways look forward to continue seeing the sweet bronco pics submitted.
Also if anyone has opinions on the best OEM accessory to get accessories, that would be mych appreciated.
