A+ job on everything. Top shelf. I thought painting the Squatch fender flares was a GREAT IDEA. would you mind posting a close up picture of them and are you happy with the results of painting them? Thank you. 👍

I got my badlands about 2 months ago. It was one of the first in my area. Being a car guy and having every kind of car imaginable my favorite car has been one of my 2 Rubicon’s. The 10th Anniversary was my favorite car beating out much more expensive cars. After 3k miles this Bronco has surpassed all expectations and is really my favorite car I’ve ever had.

The only thing my car didn’t come with on my order was the B&O sound system. I fixed that by adding a couple compact Cerwin Vega woofers, a Rockford Fosgate amp and changing all other 6 speakers to Focal.

I took of my Sasquatch package so my order would get picked up early and it did. I actually liked the 33’ inch tires and wheels as they were a gunmetal grey not black how it looks on the ordering site. However I had my mind set on 35’s so I bought Black Rhino Gunmetal wheels and Toyo A/T tires.

I added a a couple LED front corner lights as well as a a LED bar.

I ordered from the dealership the Sasquatch fender flares and had those custom painted in Cactus Grey to match the body color as well as all the door handles.

I also had the Ford Logo painted the grill and roof color in a metallic grey with white trim to match the front grill as well as the Bronco back emblem. This minor detail made all the difference for me.

The only thing I’m waiting on is a front bumper brush bar and lights. I ordered one with the other LED lights but the brackets didn’t fit the Badlands modular number to Rough Country is working on brackets specifically for that bumper.

Love the ride it’s a 10 plus!!!

Looks fantastic! I ALSO want know more about painting the fenders and door handles. I’m *probably* getting Rapid Red, and would want those plus the mirrors to be body-color. Did the dealership do it, or a local body shop?

More info on the painting of the door handles please. Did they take them off the car? Does it seem like the paint will hold up? Cost? Thanks in advance.

It looks fantastic, congrats!! How did they paint the handles and flares and what are your thoughts as to how it came out and anticipated durability?

As the owner of a jeep wrangler with painted fender flares, you are very likely to get lots of rock chips on the rear flares on the bronco too if you do lots of offroading or driving on gravel roads. Will never buy another offroad vehicle again that has painted flares. First thing I made sure of when I ordered my bronco is that it didn't have painted flares. Though at least the bronco flares are easy to change so you could have a second unpainted set for offroading, or have the painted ones wrapped to protect them a bit.

Well, you stole my build. Enjoy for now as I will be stealing it back in 2DR mode hopefully soon.

Can you talk about the wheels- those are the Black Rhino Barricades? What was your size and off set? Could you post a photo showing the poke from the front? I am getting a SAS'd BL and will want to reuse the tires but swap out the wheels when I get a little extra money.

Well done.

Thanks for sharing your build photos; she is a real beaut!! A51, Cactus Gray, and Cyber Orange were my top three color choices. In the end, I went with A51 but can totally appreciate the Cactus Gray. The rims and tires look great and I really like how you matched the badging in the back to the rest of the gunmetal accenting - well played sir! Going to do similar in gloss black, so it's good to see how someone else's efforts turned out. Please share the details of your stereo upgrade for those of us who didn't go with the lux package, as we will all be doing something similar and can likely learn from your experience.

Your build looks great! Did you lift it at all to go up to 35s? If not, do you have any issues with rubbing at all?

It's a beautiful build, my base 4 door is being built in November. Are your original wheels and tires for sale?

It was nice of broncorobb to create an account and show us these pictures. Hopefully he is out enjoying his bronco and will return to answer questions.
