Base Model Bronco Thread

[NCOBX]

Hope you’re right on squatch and 2.7 but that VB is half that!

what do you all think about a sway bar disconnect option for the base? Will Ford offer it (doesn’t look like it) or will affordable after market options be available as they are for wranglers (realize it’s a little more complicated with IFS)

Sway bar disconnect is as easy as a 15mm wrench, an adjustable wrench and 3 minutes of your time.

Yea the Sasquatch price is really a toss up. They’re gonna charge whatever they think people will pay probably. Looks like we’ll be without the sway bar disconnect.

I agree. I plan to go with aftermarket manual disconnects. I wouldn't need them very often anyway.

That’s what I was thinking too. Just not sure what to expect on the aftermarket for an IFS.

From what I’m seeing base wheels are 7” wide, of course almost all 33”s require 7.5” rims, so new steelies are in order, might as well go 8-8.5 if your changing them.

Would 255/85/16 be a reasonable option for larger OD tire on the base 7" rims? Guess it might depend on terrain
..skinny vs wide

 

[twobigstacksoflowsociety]

how much if you priced out the tires, rims, shocks, etc that come with the squaaanch?

seems like it will be over 6k, doesn't it not?

You would have to read the tire specs, every tire has a range for min and max rim width.

yea there is no way the sasquatch is sub 5k. Im guessing $7500

No way it's that much. I won't be clicking that box if it is. I'll just go aftermarket. Heck, I want 37s anyway.

$7500 for Sasquatch is not with it... if it’s that high a lot of people will turn to after market and find it cheaper..

I mean The wheels and tires will be 2k, front dif and axles are at minimum like 3k, 2k for the lift and fender flares.

In trying to calculate the cost of the Sasquatch. If you look at the prices of the 2 door Outer Banks $38,955 and the Wildtrack $48,875 the difference is $9,920 (4 door is exactly the same difference). Now look at "Compare Models" link on the Ford site Outer Banks v Wildtrack. The equipment difference for the Wildtrack is 2.7 (-$1,500?), Advanced 4x4 (-$1,000?), M210 Dana front (-$500?), steel bash plates -($250?), hardtop (2,000?) and Sasquatch. The Outer Banks has tube steps (+400?). The difference is $5,070 for the Sasquatch. Am I somewhat accurate in my estimates? Anything you add to my estimates will subtract from the cost of the Sasquatch

 

[da_jokker]

I think one thing people are not considering is that the prices from factory are offset by the price of the parts they are replacing. So yes... part X may cost $2k on the retail market... but if you never put on the $1.2k standard axle to begin with, the overall price only increases by $800.

It's not like they are getting craiglist prices for the stuff they are yanking off... that stuff was never put on in the first place.

the key here is to get something 10.50 - 11.50 wide. all the models that wear 32's have wheels that are 7.5 wide as reference.

now if your are going 12.50 then you will want/need 8-9 wide.

edit: sorry I'm a little behind here.
