2025 Marsh Grey Outer Banks Build | Eibach 2.75” | 35” Toyo AT3s | Black Rhino Rivals

[BC-Bronco-OBX]

First Bronco Build Complete – 2025 Outer Banks | Marsh Grey | Eibach 2.75" | 35s

The build is finally done.

This was my first time modifying a vehicle beyond basic accessories, so there was definitely a lot of learning along the way. Looking back, I probably spent almost as much time researching parts as I did waiting for them to arrive.

I started with a 2025 Outer Banks in Marsh Grey with the Black Appearance Package. I wanted a more aggressive stance, a little extra ground clearance, and a setup that looked like it belonged on the Bronco from the factory.

Build Specs

Suspension

- Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover 2.0
- Approximately 2.75" lift
- Zone Offroad Upper Control Arms

Wheels & Tires

- Black Rhino Rival BR025
- 17x8.5 +25 offset
- Matte Gunmetal with Matte Black Lip
- Toyo Open Country AT3
- 35x12.50R17
- Matching full-size spare

The Process

The hardest decision wasn't the suspension—it was the tires.

I went back and forth between ATs and RTs for weeks. Every time I thought I had made up my mind, I'd find another review or another build that made me reconsider everything. The RTs definitely had the aggressive look I liked, but I eventually landed on the Toyo AT3s and couldn't be happier with the choice.

There were plenty of moments throughout the build where I questioned whether I should go a different direction with the wheels, tires, or lift height. Being my first build, I wanted to get it right the first time and avoid spending money twice.

First Impressions

The Bronco turned out exactly how I pictured it.

The 35s fill the wheel wells nicely, the stance is much more aggressive without being over the top, and the Black Rhino Rivals complement the Marsh Grey paint really well.

The Eibach setup has also been a pleasant surprise. The Bronco feels more composed, more planted, and overall drives better than I expected.

Lessons Learned

- Research is great, but eventually you have to commit.
- Tire selection can become a rabbit hole very quickly.
- Build the vehicle you want, not the one everyone else tells you to build.
- Modifying vehicles is way more addictive than I expected.

I'm really happy with how everything came together. Huge difference from stock and exactly what I was hoping for when I started planning this build.

It's still not gray, no matter how the photos are rotated.

Looks great. I put 285/70r17 Falken at4w’s on mine, but also got a decent lift (around 2in) from a set of the Fox coilovers taken off a wildtrak, so they look a little small. About to sell them and go with those exact Toyos. The c load version is actually lighter than my 33in falkens.

I really want to fill out the wheel well!

So you’re liking the ride quality of the eibachs? You say planted, do you think if they were turned all the way down it would feel relatively plush?

Famous last words.. but still a good looking ride.

The build is finally done.

Looks good! How was it equipped from the factory?

Came from the factory pretty barebones. I opted into the Black Appearance package which came with the 33" General Grabbers and the Gloss black rims from factory. The painted black roof was pretty much why I opted in for it.

Thank you! Already planning for some additional upgrades next year.

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what color wheels would look good with that color and I think you nailed it!

Looks good! With 2.75" of lift you may want to consider adding rear track bar relocation bracket to alleviate any rear bump steer.
