Hoping to have this one for a long time - born 1/11/22, and had a collection of parts from the past year and a half since reserving like many of you. Here is what I have added to the 2 door badlands sasquatch so far.

Method 703 17x8.5 0 offset in matte black
315/70 BFG KO2
@Ridergraphix side stripe and hood vinyl
@StickerFab Door jamb, visor, emblem vinyl, switch stickers, go pro mount, and phone mount
@EIGHTLUG Archetype Racing picatinny rail
@LethalPerformance - Vent to atmosphere diverter adapter and UPR catch can. Hopefully magnaflow overland exhaust soon!
@4x4TruckLEDs.com KR Compressor Mount
ARB twin compressor
Morrflate Inflate/deflate system
Pod Lights
@OracleLights - Ordered the new fog lights for the mod bumper
Ronin Oil drain valve - haven’t installed this yet
15% tint
DP Graphene coating

I live in the mountains of NC and we have lots of places to play in something like this, as well as on the beach.

I don’t have very good photos of the vinyl so I’ll need to take better photos when it’s clean and in daylight.

And for the first experience, my brother and I took it to our favorite place, the Pisgah National Forest.

Tank, have a question for you. Did you use Hub Centric Rings on the Method wheels? Does your center cap push in from the rear or snap on the front? I was about to mount my new Method 305 NV Double Black last night and found out the Hub Centric Rings will not work because the center cap on the 305 pushes through the rim from behind. I`m worried I will get vibrations since these wheels are Lug Centric and not Hub Centric.

I'm not using the rings, they won't fit over the Bronco hubs. I also replaced the lugs with black ones that are for lug centric wheels. So the hub doesn't matter now, the lugs are what center it, no issues as all. The center caps on mine snap in from the front.

Good to know. Rides as smooth at the factory tires/wheels? How were the tires balanced? Using a center cone on the machine or the lug adaptor (lug centric balancing)?

They ride as smooth as factory for now. They were balanced with the stick on weights. But done on a conical mount, not a lug mount.

Gorgeous ride. I’m close to pulling the trigger on the 703’s. (Current build date of 3/14, obviously a moving target). Somehow of all of the pics of this wheel in this size yours look the most aggressive. Seems like the interplay of the tire sidewall and the concave wheel has more slope then others.

Trying to make sure I’m not missing any options/tips for the wheel/tire setup.
315/70/17. 17x8.5 wheel +0 offset. Correct?

Correct. I haven’t looked, but I believe the oem wheels are 9” (maybe even 9.5”) wide so the goodyears don’t have that bubble sidewall as much as the current setup. But the KO2s are the same size as the Goodyear.

Sasquatch oem wheels are 8.5” wide for the record.
Ordered a few more things, updates to follow in the coming weeks.

For anyone interested in installing a light bar directly on your mod bumper, I wrote about my experience mounting a Lasfit 32”.

We have been really enjoying the bronco, the next trip was to Cape Lookout National Seashore back in mid March. It was a great trip with my dad and brother. My brother took his 4runner, it’s always good to have backup there.
