The only thing I'm planning on doing is upgrading the rear bumper and adding a tow hitch and upgrading the stereo with new speakers and sub.
The only option I have is the floor liners 2dr VB.
I would have ordered the rear locker if available because I like having it on my Expedition. Hmm should I go ahead and make another reservation for MY22/23 to see the rear locker is available on the base?
Nice idea. Get a bumper with the built in hitch!!! (maybe on the front, too)
I do like the Base look but will be upgrading the tires (33") and wheels for about $1500 for a set of 5.

Glad I got sasquatch on my base. They should have at least offered 32" tires
For sure, I also went base and once I saw the rendering of the base wheels there was no choice but to sasquatch it

If there had been an option between the stock tires and Sasquatch, I'd have taken it. 32" maybe. Or simply the option to upgrade from the all-weather street tire to an all-terrain tire, in the same size.

Sasquatch makes it look like a toy, and I've never needed tires that big to get through tight spots.

I won't put 10 miles on those tires. 285 75 16 Firestone Destinations on my White Base 7 speed.
Hope I get mine sooner than later as I submitted within 2 days of introduction and mine is a simple build.
You can't get the base with the 7 speed. Is that an option MY22 might have?

@RedDawg What tire you going with in the 265/75/r16. Been looking for a nice semi-aggressive looking one in C-Load Range. Thinking Toyo Open Country AT3 right now. I want BFG KO2s but don't think they are a "C".

I was thinking Cooper Discoverer or Bridgestone, but those aren’t aggressive looking. Since it’ll be my DD I need something that will wear well on asphalt.
Looking at the Discount site, maybe even Goodyear Wranglers.... just cuz 😎

The steelies are $75 apiece.... sell the sasquatch wheels/tires and come out ahead :cool:
I've thought about that, but for the 2-door, Base with Sasquatch is too much money. I built and rebuilt a million times. And everybody is different, but Black Diamond won out. With the Granger deal, the 2-door base has so little mark-up that it's a lot more money off the BD and the price difference was so tiny that it stopped making sense to not get the BD for what I need to do with it.
