CYBER ORANGE Bronco Club

[Moto26]

We have one ordered but we were able to purchase this while we wait.

Wait, so you’re still waiting for your original order, but they had that one available, so you bought it? For MSRP? Are you going to keep it, or trade it when your original arrives? Why not keep that one? Can I have it?

CO WT HIGH 4dr TOW SOFT TOP
Still waiting

 

[skhubbard93]

20 pages of CO pics...yet none of my build. Anyone got a 4DR, hardtop, Badlands, with the upgraded (non-sas) wheels? So far I have yet to see one outside the pics on Ford's website.

This makes me think my build is rare and I'll never actually see it.

That build is my jam. See sig; I also added safari bar and roof rails. When the wheels arrived, I was surprised that they weren't the same as the SAS ones, but they grew on me real fast.

Did not pay any ADM, we placed on order a couple of months back. We ordered with a hard top but if the soft top works out we might keep the one we just bought. I did receive the email about the Raptor and replied that I was interested so maybe that will fall our way, hard to say.

I apologize for forgetting to post my photos in here. I picked it up Dec 23 and drove it about 240 miles the next day to my grandparents, and immediately discovered the seats kill my back and hips. Went on vacation and came back, drove to work once and it's been sitting in the garage since. It's got 296 miles on it and I can't bring myself to sell it yet but I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it... probably just wait until the weather is nicer and give it another go....and maybe go to the doctor and try to get anything to help.

My back wasn't all that happy 'til I dialed up the lumbar support. It's a shame you couldn't get the seats to work for you.

Awesome buddy. So how did you end up with the goodyear tires instead of the BFGs?

I ordered the 33" MTs instead of the 33" ATs. It was a significant markup, probably more than it should have been, but I just thought they made more sense in the snow and didn't want the hassle of swapping them later. Truth is, they do work well in the snow and for me this thing is a dual-mode vehicle: ski in the winter and top-down in summer (and fall, and spring, and maybe early December next year).

We took Delivery yesterday.
Awesome Experience with our Dealer Gullo Ford of Conroe
I asked them to not wash or remove anything that wasn't required as I would prefer to do it myself.

At the Dealership for Delivery

On the way back home, stopped at a friends house to show her off.

Made it home and started my cleaning process.

I immediately liked it as well, but thought it was too loud and not an option for me… too gregarious. Yes, it may scream rob me or key me but after seeing it in person I’d take the heightened attention.

Instead I’ll have live with A51 or EG as I like all the colors and its tough to choose.

Yours looks great and I’m sure The manual is fun. I’m too lazy to shift.

Enjoy the pinnacle of Broncodom!

Totally get your points ... everyone of the other vehicles in my household all the others are shades of black and white ... Cyber Orange, 2DR, Manual all part of the spirt of what I wanted from my Bronco. FORD really hit on something with the new Bronco

I thought some of you may enjoy seeing some pics of mods/accessories. I collected all pieces to this puzzle over two months or so, then did it all in one wave. If you live in the 4-corners area (SW Colorado, SE Utah, NW New Mexico, Northern Arizona) you may want to consider working with Chris (owner) of AudioBox in Cortez, CO.

My ride is a Black Diamond, 2.7, mid pkg, MIC, tow, roof rails, factory PPF. I added PPF on both sides about 50% up after delivery, and the front bug deflector Aeroskin II appears to also help with deflecting rocks from the windshield.

Although he specializes in audio related mods/upgrades, he also has all two way radio experience you could ask for, and did all electrical connections for me. 3 of us worked together for 8 hours straight and got the entire list completed. I did this in order to avoid pulling trim panels multiple times, this way everything was done together and by participating I know where and how everything went. They did a super job and I a m very pleased with how it all turned out.

I don't want to post all details of the various parts, so if you have a specific question, let me know.

Here is a list;
- GMRS Radio Wouxun KG1000G
- Ditch Lights with brackets, integrated with GMRS Antenna
- Diode Dynamic Fog/Driving Lights, the 6" S6 light bar
- two LED cargo lights (because the standard lighting is inadequate at night, when you need it most)
- Garmin Overlander off-road GPS with integrated BC35 front facing camera (for on-trail wheel placement)
- replaced all four 4" speakers with Alpine, and added sound deadening mats inside the speaker cavity
- Vantrue front and rear-facing dash cams with loop recording, parking mode, GPS, g-sensors
- Archetype BYOD rail on the dash with phone mounts
- 1UP Hitch swing-arm Rackattach with 1 UP bike rack
- license plate relocation bracket
- GPCA grab handles for back seats

I was especially pleased with how the GMRS radio was mounted, the unit is under the dash driver side, and the face-plate overhead driver side. Chris did his magic with pulling those wires through some pretty tight spots, but having experience and the proper tools/tricks made it possible. Equally cool was using the ditch light mounting bracket to also carry the GMRS antenna, this worked really well also and is rock solid.

Changing out the speakers was quick and easy, and for sure, 100% worth it. Makes a huge difference and only cost like $30/speaker, plus wiring harness and sound mats.

I also love my Garmin Overlander with front facing camera. I did not want to spend all the extra to get the high/lux options, and I did not want connection dependent navigation, so this alternative saved bucks and works just fine. Chris mounted the camera in the exact same spot as the factory installed one by fabricating an appropriate bracket and it connects wireless with the Garmin display. I press the "rear view" button to get the front view while on trail for wheel placement.

The Diode S6 front fog/driving lights are wonderful, make a big difference and I use them daytime as DRL in addition to the factory whites. They have a distinct cutoff line which I placed below the headlights main beam, so no blinding of oncoming traffic.

The ditch lights are like two suns and will serve great during off-roading and/or camping.

If you need help or want a pro to install your electronics, you can reach Chris at 970-565-4019 . I have no gain or interest in referrals, but am sharing his contact info because it really made the electronic installations a good experience and I can recommend him 100%.

Mods remaining and yet to be done are the Yakima roof platform, and Method 305 NV Bronze with 285/70/17 BFG K02s

Found a little photo op and took it.

Interesting we haven’t seen a CO Raptor yet.

Ya. the initial Raptor was Molten Orange, but quite different.
The CO is such a nice paint.

 

[Natai]

Anyone come across any pics of a 4-door CO with black aftermarket side graphics?
All I've seen are the WT and FE and some of the multicolor retro stripes.
Waiting for VIN and thinking something on the sides would look good to break things up a bit.
