Dang IT! My Bad, those are Wilpeak 285/70's in the picture. It's been a long week. Sorry (I run BFG's AT's in the winter and got totally confused.)

285/70 Falken Wildpeak Mud Terrains on Big Bend takeoffs I picked up for pennies. I love these wheels woth bigger tires, totally changes the vibe of the wheel. Here they are installed on my Base.

I agree, 285/70's are the way to go on the Big Bend wheel. Totally changes the vibe of the wheel. Here's a set of Wildpeak Mud Terrains on my Base with Big Bend take-off wheels I picked up for pennies.

FINAL RESULTS: My dealer's service department pulled a major rabbit out of their hat by “procuring” the needed driveshaft and parts from Ford via the “It's who you know” supply chain (i.e. It pays to live near MAP). My Bronco was ready to roll less than a week after the incident. So, in the end...

Thanks! I agree Sasquatch is a no brainer. I wanted it, but my order got messed up by the dealer. I don't actually plan to try to do this. My question is more about how much value I missed out on by not getting the Sasquatch package....or, to put it another way, how much it would cost to...

Long story short, my dealer screwed up my order and I did not get the Sasquatch Package I asked for (three times) on my Base 2-door automatic. Sasquatch would have been a $5000 upgrade. So, in theory, what do you think it would cost to upgrade a Base NonSquatch to a Sasquatch level of...

UPDATE: So my dealer just sent me a nice inspection video showing the missing bolts as seen in my original post pic. He also said the flange on the rear differential is damaged as well as the flange on the driveshaft. They are ordering a new differential flange and new...

Personally, I think bolts flying out of my driveshaft is scarier than anything I read on a forum.

I guess I did not realize this was part of the PDI. Holy Cow, I've already had a pretty bad expereince with my dealer. They screwed up my order (I asked for BaseSquatch three times and ended up getting Non-Squatched.) They tried hard to convince me I was not price protected (I reserved...

So if these bolts simply never got tourqued down at the factory, does anyone know what other bolts this assemblyline worker may have missed? Any MAP workers on here with an idea what else was part of this persons job I should be looking for?

That does not give me much confidence regarding the quality control on my Bronco. You can bet I will be going over all the nuts and bolts with a fine tooth comb once I get it back. Don't get me wrong, i really love it so far, but WTF!

The bolts were loose at the back of the drivshaft where it connects to the rear diff. Not good, but at least if it would have separated I wouldn't have been pole-vaulted into the next county.

Has anyone had a problem with loose driveshaft bolts? Four days and 400 miles after I (finally) picked up my Bronco Base, I started to notice a slight vibration in the drivetrain. At first I speculated it was caused by the 33's mud terrains I had just put on or maybe the lug nuts needed...
