🎥: Ford Performance Build Walk-Around of the Outer Banks build..

Ford did a really nice job on the Tremor package. If they offered it with a V8 I’d trade in my F-150 for one. I basically modded an F-150 XL into a Tremor before they were a thing.
Putting a V8 in the Tremor with a slightly higher HP tune would have really made it something special.
I agree. Will find some beefy 33’s to run on some fifteen52 17”s
Guess that crazy board member was right with all his calculations on the ‘Will 33s fit the OBX’ sticky thread. Lol.
...Cant believe I spent all that time only to turn around and order a Sasquatch instead.
Although keep in mind guys these are 295 70 17 (33.5” x 12”). I had to look up ha. they probably would not fit on stock rims with 55 offsets (put aside that OBX stock rims are 18”). The methods have a 0 offset giving it more clearance away from the upper control arm (that is our primary constraint on tire size)
The dimensions i had gathered imply that these tires (12” wide) would hit, or come awfully close, to the upper control arm if on stock 55 offset rims. The 33 BFGs on the badlands is a narrower tire at 11.2” wide and that’s more along the lines of what’s tolerable for 33s on a stock rim on an OBX
Anyway, for what it’s worth, if you do want 12” wide tires on a non OBX Sasquatch they can be achieved with a low offset wheel. Although it may also force your hand to aftermarket flares. It’s no surprise this build has a combo of 0 offset, large 33s (basically 34s) with aftermarket flares. You kind of need all three of those things to get it to work...also keep in mind this tire size is E load only....but looks great!

If there are supply constraints on power seat modules that would be pretty devastating for the roll out. I’d like to think this is just a bit frankensteined. Like when we saw a navy pier dash paired with a roast interior.
no real theme here. Although if we start seeing more and more OBXs or FE 4 doors with manual seats then maybe you could start to worry more. Just like when there were no mod tops in sight at MAP months ago and it was getting fairly obvious that bad news was coming.

A repurposed OBX fishing concept is a plausible theory. I wonder when the last time it was on show/tell duty?
We have all been here long enough to see the FrankenBronco monstrosities. But this late in the game, they shouldn't continuing to build rigs with mismatch parts. MAP has moved beyond the Tool Tryout in December and past the Production Proveout this year. If this rig was built this year, it should be well past mismatching parts.

I actually like those flares better than the stock Badlands or Squatch flares. Might make me change my mind about 0 offset wheels. I didnt want 0 offset with the stock flares cause they were gonna poke out a little bit.
His demeanor didn't bother me at all. It's hard to strike the right tone with such a wide audience: too low-key and some people think you're boring; too high-energy and other people will say you sound like a salesperson.
His mic kept going out (diminished) when he turned his head at the beginning but it seems like they fixed it partway through.
I wish he'd shown the different trail camera views. He said four cams, stitched together for the 360-degree view, so I take this to mean that we'll have the same views (with the High or Lux package) on an OBX as what's on the BL. No rock crawl mode necessary. Unless there are additional cameras on that trim, as others have speculated. I didn't get that from this video though. I know this has been discussed on other threads, and I believe the High and Lux packages have the same camera views regardless of how many (or which) GOAT modes they have, but would be nice to get something definitive.
Whenever they say something wonky it really hurts the credibility, so I wish someone would verify the scripts before or verify the audio after these were taped. The blue oh shit handle, for example - it's blue if you get the roast interior, but not if you get the blue. Then it's gray. Erroneous details like that make me question the validity of all the other "facts." The video editor could easily remedy this stuff with CG (computerized graphics) - would take less than a minute.
Nice to see something, since all those MBL videos were pulled. No doubt Ford's third-party marketing people want control of all the advertising (to justify whatever outrageous amount of money they're charging Ford for their lackluster performance thus far) and didn't like those getting out.

Okay. Now you've crossed the line.
Curling is the best and not boring at all.
To prove I'm not even joking, here's a picture someone took of me at an exhibition event:
(I'm sorry but I'm not sure this friendship can be salvaged after your cheap and unwarranted attack.)

I wonder if they’re real worried about the legal implications of the lift - sure seems like Squatch has them worried enough if they refuse to put roof racks on it.
The lack of showing a affordable lift is a big competitive gap right now: especially at an event like EJS. It’s like one of the first mod owners in the segment consider. The prime competition can put 315s on the Rubicon or Mojave stock (so Sasquatch is only an exciting thing on lower trims) and offers a Mopar 2.5” lift in a cool crate, not to mention the many aftermarket options.
I am sure Jeep is looking at these concepts and thinking “pfft - amateurs” ...

I did some research and a 295 70 17 is actually 33.5 inches diameter.....vs 285 70 17 which is 32.7....Usually when people say 33..they mean the 285...A 315 70 17 is 34.4 for comparision. This tire should probably be called a "34"......Either way, it looks really good and the aggressive tread pattern helps. I could live with that tire on the 4 door or the 2 door and not need a "35"...

I am digging the lock box in the rear and locking console. Wonder how much room you actually get in that console. Looks cramped. I'd like to see someone make a holster/grab bar. So you can have your pistola near by, but not in an uncomfortable position.

then it makes the partial leather seat option absolutely not worth the additional cost at least on a BL. I didn't opt for leather but was contemplating really just for the power seats but decided to stay w/ MGV and see what MY22 brings us. May only consider power seats if it has memory seat recall option.
