That’s the perfect grille, IMO- looking to do the same on my A51 Big Bend (including getting a BD/Base grille). Who did you buy the letters from? Was it this vendor- UPR Products? https://www.ebay.com/itm/304606981214

OP- also following, getting inspired to do more mods on my ‘22 Big Bend. Great build so far! Bronco_MI- love the Black Diamond grille! Was it a simple swap with the Big Bend’s, or were any modifications needed to fit?

Love that shifter knob! Maybe it’s just the photo angle, but it appears to sit lower than original height. Did you alter the stick, or did Twisted Shifterz shorten the adapter? Either way it looks great 👍

Is that the Twisted Shifterz white knob? It looks perfect for the HE interior. How do you like the feel when driving?

Nailed it! OP- another thing that’ll blow your mind: some Bronco drivers also purposely choose the longer, slower, curvier scenic route to enjoy the journey even more! 😁

Love my 2-door, 7MT Bronco- the most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned, buuut…since the question was asked- I would have liked: - full analog speedometer and tachometer (like my old Jeep), and - a CD player, as legions of people (OK 4 or 5 people) have requested. Start the car, music resumes. No...

Nice!!! That’s the most authentic heritage build yet IMO. The wheels are from Fifteen52? What size and offset? I like the stance- did you install spacers and lifts? What size?

Here’s an off-road mod that few, if any, 6G owners will ever get. Hi-rail vehicles like this are used for railroad track inspection and light maintenance. The small steel wheels are lowered down, and guide the Bronco along the track. True hands-free driving! I’m guessing the tow hook in front is...

I’m sure that’ll be a fine vehicle, like most Yodas, but until it‘s available as a 2-door, convertible, and/or manual transmission, it’s not competition for MY Bronco.

The combination of silver, gray and black looks fantastic! Are they the original Big Bend wheels? How did you blacken them?

After what Nissan did, how could anyone get hung up on side mirror asymmetry?

Tailgate opens from the left. Most North Americans drive and park on the RIGHT side of the road, and load the back from the sidewalk to the RIGHT.

Took the Bronco north of the border for the first time, and immediately met another A51. Proud new owner of the 4-door Outer Banks is Bob of Magog, Quebec. Funny how the same color looks different 9 months older and a little dirtier.

Took advantage of a rare (for New Jersey) February day in the mid-60's. Popped the top off and hit a section of the Trans-NJ Trail. Most of NJ looks more like this than the airport and turnpike.

I can hear my dad yelling at me “don’t run below a quarter tank! The dirt on the bottom of the tank will get into the engine!”. Still, I once squeezed 400 miles out of a tank in my old guzzler Jeep Liberty. I swear there couldn’t have been more than an ounce of gas left…

Great build- clever design using the sub box to level the floor with the seats folded down. Great sounding music makes every trip better!

Thanks everyone for keeping this thread current- the noise started in my non-Sas Big Bend 5 days ago. Exactly as so many have described. I’ve updated the spreadsheet and will follow up after my service appointment on 1/31.

I'm with ya Gnomad- I really miss having a CD player, for all the reasons you and others mention. Insert CD- Listen for an hour or so- no plugging in/typing stuff into phone- no internet or Wifi issues- and sound quality IS better than FM/satellite/Spotify. I finally gave up and subscribed to...

Perfect- you nailed it. Your DIY version looks more authentic than Ford’s. Love the grille, wheels and hubs. Your “compromise“ was really an opportunity in disguise. I have a hunch there’ll be more such options in 2023 for those willing to look around and be flexible.

Thanks for the tips, folks. The hardest part was disconnecting the seat sensor cable. I'd accidently dropped some loose change between the center console and passenger seat. Of course it went down to the floor, into the carpet cutout for seat mounts, and under the carpet- where it no doubt...
