[wvmtneer]

Seems that the show has come to a screeching halt.

Are you two siblings?

Looks great. Uprade to 2.7, steel bumpers, and larger after market wheels and tires. Add a few cool things down the road and you have your own creation. Why the hate on silver? This isn't 1970 East Germany, they have other color options.

It would be amazing to have this with lockers, without the lift or 35 inch tires.

Those seats look awfully flat and uncomfortable. I didn't think a picture of a seat could even appear uncomfortable lol. I'm likely getting a base. It doesn't look half bad but those tires and likely the wheels gotta go. All seasons on a 4x4 isn't what I'm after!

The flat seats are the back seats.

Thank you. I'm an idiot. I had wondered where the center console was. Ha.

Looks great! And it’s nice to finally see what the base/BB interior will look like!

Also, how awesome would a Duluth Trading/Ford Bronco partnership be? Kind of like Filson but more for the folks that don’t/can’t spend $300 for a sweater.

$300 for a Filson sweater. That a bargin! That stuff is pricy and I live in Seattle. It used to be just normal priced before they went big time. (This is the point wear I start talking about a 5 cent candy bar.)

Spotted at the Duluth Trading store Wixom, Mi.

Thanks for the photos. The two door especially with these wheels and tires looks kind of disproportioned. Kind of weird, but it reminds me a lot of my Bronco II I used to have in the same color.

Actually, smaller tires are much more likely to take you "everywhere". Real overlanders NEVER use big tires and they don't have alloy wheels.

Small steel wheels can make it through South America and Africa because they can be pounded into shape or welded and the smaller tire sizes are more common so you are not stuck for weeks waiting for a shipment. Jeeps and Land Rovers there do NOT have 35s.

If you want to take your Bronco to 35 countries and literally go everywhere, you want the simplest possible base build with smallish tires.

I will ask you do to do what I asked several others.
Pay attention to the next 10 F-150s that you see.
I bet the majority of them will have smaller wheels than you think they should.

I would be happy with a Bronco Tim Horton's Edition.
You literally get a free coffee if you drive the Tim Horton's trim level at the drive through (*Double Double if you don't like black). No questions asked. Maybe it could also have a crossed-hockey stick holder for the spare tire to fill the space better?

It does look pretty prominent sticking out there.

I wonder if it's feasible to stick a spacer behind the wheel.

This might not be a popular opinion but I think the base looks like a hot garbage fire.

Rear camera location is horrible, I guess that was the only option. Forget a tire cover or bike rack.
