Thank you again, that a semi easy fix, still have the stock ones laying around

The only issue may be clearance with the stock UCA as I assume the Kings have a reservoir and may not clear the hose. My Icons are internal reservoir, so I didn't have to worry about that. My stock UCAs still aligned at 26.5 inches and allow 29.75 inches at full droop. I'm sure I will replace them someday, but for now they work for me.

Since this is a picture thread, this is the most recent photo. Lift is 26 front, 27 rear.

The Black Diamond is one my favorite trims. Some really nice upgraded BD's here.

Engine cover for the win. That looks to be a spendy piece of kit, but very nice.

My “love at first sight” picture

Her 1st wash

And my old and new together

It’s kinda like a baby book.

She’s completely stock right now, but I was surprised by how much nicer she looked in person than I imagined a stock, non-sas, Bronco would. She’ll be staying stock for a while!

The world likes to scream warnings about confirmation bias. Seriously, is it really that bad? We’re ordering vehicles, sight unseen. They are taking an insanely long time to arrive. It’s easy to negotiate with myself in my headspace what concessions I’d make. Color? Trim? I’m still in it for the steelies, mod bumper, and 2.7, but your post puts me at ease. Thanks.

So true! I don’t think I even saw a BD in person prior to receiving mine. I saw plenty of Big Bends and Outerbanks and several SAS, but never a BD.

We liked the Badlands, but it didn’t fall within a price range that we wanted. My husband felt the BD would provide the best off road capabilities, within our budget, without having SAS. He wanted the steelies! But I wanted the optional wheels. We had ordered with the mod bumper, but we dropped it due to constraints at the time.

I love my BD! Sure, we may end up doing some mods in the future..BUT we aren’t in a rush to do so. I think I only have two things that I’m not loving right now- the gearing and the MGV. Sure, she does get up and go! But my mpg is pretty bad (I know you don’t buy a Bronco for great MPG but I was hoping for better). As far as the MGV goes, I know a lot of people would disagree and love theirs, but it really is hot. I’m in Texas, though, so maybe that has something to do with it. lol

I haven't done much of a "build" other than pulling the crash bars and putting Pro Comp 69's (17's by 9 with a -6 offset) and some BFG KO2's (285/70/17's) but I have no lift, no level, etc.

I find it perfectly capable for what I do, mostly rough and muddy rutted dirt roads with some foot deep puddles and washouts and some downed trees. I'm not rock crawling.

Actually, they have been on sale for $134.00 very reasonable. It cost $300.00 to have it painted.

Did you powder coat it or just have it painted?
