2021 Black Diamond delivered on Xmas Eve, swapped out stock 31.5" 265/70R17 tires for 33" pizza cutters (Cooper LT255/80R17) and added Zone Offroad 1" level kit from dealer (Rockland Ford in Maine). Then UPS boxes started showing up... From 4x4TruckLeds.com, I got Rigid D-series SAE fog lights with KR Offroad fog bracket, Rigid Radiance ditch lights with Amber backlight, and the KR Offroad license plate bracket (told dealer not to drill for the factory bracket). Then I added the Safari bar and some shackles, plus the heritage Bronco script logo (the BD stickers peel off easily and relocated to rear). I like the look of the pizza cutters with the fender delete from 4WP, because the stock fender flares looked too wide for skinny tires - now I have a couple of inches of poke. But I have to say that it sprays mud and salt all over the sides, so I invested in an unlimited car wash subscription. I've had to wash it a couple of times a week, and the soft top did fine in the automatic car wash (not touchless). Only complaint about the top is that it drips inside on your leg when you get in. Also, I added a fixed lid Tuffy cargo enclosure in the rear so I can park in Boston without my stuff getting stolen.

Tomorrow is the blizzard - we'll see how those pizza cutters do in 2 feet of fresh powder!

Forgot to mention - the manual transmission is awesome! You give up the donut mode, remote start, bigger engine, etc., but it is so smooth and fun to drive. The hill stop assist turns on the parking brake briefly when you stop on a hill. I've had a few manual transmission cars in the past, but not in the last ten years or so. I am so glad I got the MT. I'm teaching my daughter how to drive a stick - that connection alone is worth its weight in gold! ;)

What are those two things bolted onto your bull bar?

That's a 2" tube mount for my Hi-Lift Jack.

I also got a couple of black Rigid tube mounts to put some 4" round spot lights hanging upside down from the top of the bull bar but I took them off. I'm still kind of experimenting with what looks good.

Your rig looks sharp. This is convincing me to go with your fog light setup.

Nice ride! Where did you purchase the script Bronco Badges from?
