After working 75 hour work weeks the last two weeks in a row I was enjoying my rare day off. I left the house and was headed to LSwranglers, they specialize in dropping LS V8 motors in Wranglers. The V8 option is my plan B if a Bronco doesn't work out. Very convient as they are a local outfit and has been in business for 12 years. The first stoplight from my house I see the twins. My Jeep windows are dirty so the pics are meh ? but it’s something new for you all to read.

I have no place to be, I have gas in the tank, and I have a modified wrangler so I figure there is no place I can’t follow them. I followed from a distance and here are a few pics..

This is a 4 door soft top outer banks with Sasquatch package with the roof peeled back In A51 paint.

Roof sticks up way too much for my liking but it’s easy to get into position. Now I know a soft top is out for me.



Second Bronco is a cyber orange Badlands 2 door on 33” optional wheels.

So it turns out I followed them 20.4 miles from first sighting . 2.4 miles of the 20.4 was off road, yes off road , i am a jeeper ya know. For the locals it is the boyscout trail on the hump that can lead to Goodsprings saloon.


So just to clarify for certain posters out there. I never hounded them, I never honked the horn (in NV it is a $200 fine to blow the horn when not an emergency) and I was about 1/4 mile behind for the most part until we got to stop lights. I am a Jeeper, and have been here for 18 years and I kinda know where they are going no need to crowd them.

So now we go off road, mostly washboard trail. Not like we had to go to 4wd.

The desert in Las Vegas is the Mojave desert. And it is dirt, not sand like in the Sahara desert. So you could leave a half mile distance separation and still be able to follow someone. Anyway they drivers finally pulled over.....

So I pulled up and said “ if you let me see the vinyl I will stop following you”.

The drivers looked at each other like I was speaking Spanish (and I can). I said “ I want to check out the marine grade vinyl. I have a reservation and order day is approaching and I want to know I am making the correct choice on Bronco trim“.

The light bulbs turned on and CO driver asks if I have a cell phone? I said I do and it will stay in my pocket and I will not touch it. CO driver let’s me check out the interior of the 2 door CO. I don’t look at his laptop information I just check out the seats. And no I didn’t take any pics because I kinda promised.

MGV for me 100%. That stuff is awesome!!! Super soft with some texture, cool to the touch, not like bass boat vinyl. Ford did the MGV right!
I live in las and I’ll be looks for them tonight in the hotel parking lots

Thank you for sharing. Don't care about the not so clear pics, at least you had a chance to see a couple Broncos.

I live in close proximity to the Texas Motor Speedway. I saw they were having an employee event there, showing off the 2021 F-150. I figured a Bronco MIGHT be there. Alas only the Bronco Sport. I drove a few miles out of my way, not 20.4. Not bad OP.

Since you saw the MGV you are just the person I want to talk to. I am considereing the BL, probably with the MGV. The problem is that some of the pictures I have seen of it, it appears medium gray and others appear very dark, almost black. What color was it?
The BL is a single color MGV seat and it is dark, like black dark on all panels. The BD is two toned black and grey, I prefer the BD color comb in the same material. Open two windows on ford.com and build a BD and BL. Then you can view the two model seats side by side.

Unless they were valet parked they were not at the M or South point casino at 6 pm tonight.

Seriously, thanks for the report, Brother. MGV and the 17" steelies called me to the BD; that's where I'm staying.
That is calling me as well. After seeing those measurements I am convinced that 33s will go right on the Black Diamond and it will look just like the Badlands with 33s but a 1/2" or so lower. MIGHT (and this is my opinon) even look better becuase the reveal will be slightly smaller than the BL. I think the BL is just a little tall for the 33s, still looks awesome thought. Love them both.

This may be what you’re looking for. I was able to snag this from Instagram.
Ford Bronco Followed 2 Broncos and got to see Marine Grade Vinyl (MGV) Interior 422C4D89-F714-4BB5-A07C-757AB00B4279
Its interesting how the the 33s make it look a little taller because of the space in the wheel well. I know that’s clearly an illusion because the Sasquatch is taller but the bigger tires make it look stuffed and sort of squatty.

I agree with you on how the MGV felt. I liked it alot.

My concern is if I can get comfortable not having a power seat. I had a 2014 F150 once with no power seat and it was very uncomfortable. The seat bottom was always at the wrong angle
