Another Dude From Michigan's Base Bronco Build

Just joined the forums after lurking for a couple of months and thought I'd introduce myself and my Bronco so here goes...

I am the proud owner of a base (and I mean base) Bronco 2-door. As the guy who normally checks all the boxes on the order form (for my company cars) I forced myself to order the $28,500 base bronco 2-door with the manual transmission. I ordered it in November of 2020 and picked it up on my birthday in January 2022.

I was thinking that I could avoid a mid-life crisis by making it my own and having some fun off-road. So far so good.

So with checkbook in hand, and inspired by this...

Here are the updates I have done so far...
-Method 316 Wheels (Matte Black)
-35" BFG All Terrain KO2s
-RPG Perch Collars
-Running Boards (OEM)
-custom vinyl

Plus some miscellaneous... heated seats (Michigan), OEM hitch and wiring harness, and upgraded the base audio just enough so my old ears can hear it with the top off (who knew Crutchfield was still a thing?). My biggest regret so far on ordering the base is not getting the steel front bumper, but hopefully I can find something aftermarket...

And here is where I am so far.

Now me and Baxter can get a little muddy on the weekends.
