Behold the WILD BANKS / OUTER TRAK

[broncoky]

EDIT: UPLOADED ADDITIONAL PHOTOS

When picking out and ordering my Bronco, I naturally wanted the Wildtrak. I ended up configuring my own version with an Outer Banks, 2.7 with the Sasquatch package.

I’m definitely not a fan of the digital camouflage cloth seats in the Wildtrak. My favorite Bronco interior is the roast cloth, an Outer Banks exclusive. The bronze and silver dash make the interior feel much more premium in my opinion. The roast/black color seats will age gracefully. I also love they are ribbed. It’s a nod to past Broncos and naturally a little more breathable for longer trips and warmer days.

I love the body colored door handles. Body colored mirror caps are another Outer Banks exclusive.

I modified the exterior to what I love about the Wildtrak today for $140!

I replaced the tailgate emblem with the OEM Ford part, gloss black for about $40. Super simple to remove and replace.

I removed the beauty rings and had them powder coated gloss black by my local industrial coating shop. $100 as they just add them in when doing a run of black coating. They turned out better than I expected. They look exactly like the factory finish and match the gloss black part of the wheel perfectly. I was debating on whether or not to purchase the Ford performance black rings. I’m glad I didn’t as this solution saved me roughly $600.

My WILD BANKS!!!

Saw your reply in my post. Wildbanks or Outertrak? Is there any other difference once you option it up?

Since Ford decided to rid the Wildtrak of the painted mirrors and door handles, I too have thought about doing what you did.

Looks good though

I think the difference boils down to the the selectable off road modes. Although, ForeScan could probably remedy that if its a problem for someone.

It was a dude going in to eat lunch where I pulled over to detail the car after running it through a touch-free wash. He wanted to snap a photo as he has 35s as well. Gecko is my favorite 2021 Jeep color.

I was debating both names, but favored Wild Banks ever so slightly.

I remember whatching the video where Esteban was face timing BN. When I heard that I was like, really?? It was one of the first videos where they discussed 2022 options officially.

Saves Ford money and solidifies the OBX trim as the lux or “Sahara” trim. Strangely Jeep don’t offer the Sahara trim in 2door form anymore.

I live in the central southeast. We have mountains, rolling hills and valleys. More like a humid jungle in the summer instead of a dry dusty desert. I will never need Baja. 4A or “Slippery” mode if I want to turn the dial instead of pushing the button. Mainly for the mild to moderate winters we have here. I swear it’s like the tundra where I live. You can experience all 4 seasons in one day!

Well, atleast you didn't stick a Wildtrak badge on it.

The OBX was my favorite interior, too. But a manual tranny was one of my absolute needs. So no OBX for me.

One of the very first mods was installing the gloss black Bronco Depot heritage script fender badges. I put the Outer Banks sticker on the back glass. I think all the fender badges from the factory look cheap and after thoughtish. The back glass is the most appropriate place the factory badge. Lol

Just need the wildtrak grill.
