I would love to know what size tires those are.
I originally posted that they were 33”, was corrected and edited to say 32”, then someone chimed in and said 32” is actually 31.6”.

I guess I will edit the part where I say I am 5’ 9” to say I am 5’ 9-3/4”.

BTW - It says 32” on the sticker.

I would like to know the exact tire spec like 265/75/16

I assume those are 16" steelies?

I just looked on the build configuration and it looks like they came with:


LT265/70R17 General Grabber A/Tx (All-Terrain A/T Tires)

A shame they didn't offer these tires on a stock base since base, big bend, black diamond, and outer banks all have the same suspension.

I guess a ploy to get you to upgrade!

No ma’am, only exterior pics for the most part... I do know it was leather seats and very comfortable.

So I saw somewhere on one of these forums that a 2 door Mannequin showed up at Koch 33 in Easton, PA. It is right on my route up to my mountain house so I stopped to take a look tonight.

Oh my Friggin doG!

All the 4 door justifiers should just stop reading now and move on to the next ‘where’s my Bronco VIN' thread ‘cause this is gonna be a 2 door love fest…

I only had a short time to check it out since daylight was fading but here is my impression along with some photos.

Cactus Gray Black Diamond on 32” steelies with roof rails and the 2.7L.

Until now I had only ever seen the 4 door version at a Bronco reveal. This is a 4 door Black Diamond soft top with the 2.0 and SAS. It's a bit of a step to get in at 5' 9" but I'll manage.

I knew going in that I wanted to stay true to the original and go with a 2 door but my only visual reference was the CGI images on the B&P site with the exaggerated tires.

But man, let me tell you that even those doctored images don’t do justice to the beautiful lines and proportions of the 2 door Bronco. It is immediately recognizable from a distance and no one would confuse it with a Rover.

I am waiting on a 2D, 2.7, A51, BD, SAS, MIC, MID, TOW so not anticipating an early build date, but now I am totally convinced I made the right choice.

I have also seen on here that there are some concerns about the MIC top quality but I didn’t see any of the rough edges noted by others. I did however notice that the front panels on this one were not aligned. Got this photo by standing on the door sill and reaching up over the roof. (BTW, there is a nice hand hold relief at the back of the front panel by the B pillar).

Supposedly there are alignment pins to help get the panels in place and hopefully this was just an error on the part of the person putting them on. I’m sure I will be checking mine a bit more carefully once it arrives and I start removing and replacing.

One last thing I found enjoyable and don’t think I have seen in other threads is the start up screen on the center console.

I have seen many posts about altering build options in order to seek an earlier build date. Now that I have seen this, I won't sacrifice and I am going to wait it out to get exactly what I want.

Changing partly out of curiosity. Partly out of driving a modern vehicle. I won't buy a Wrangler. I've been an XJ guy for so long, and nothing about a Wrangler appeals to me. I work on them (I own a shop), and there are just too many of them all dolled up for looks and trying to be good off road, with pointless accessories and modifications. Not insulting my friends here who have them, but I could never be part of that group, doesn't fit my mental image of myself. I think Broncos are cool, and I think the new Bronco 2dr is cool. The 4dr, for my purposes and views, is no better than a 4dr Wrangler. Flame suit on here. :giggle:

Back to the longer wheelbase is better discussion, since you chose not to ignore. You just made a statement with no reasoning. Why does a longer wheelbase mean more stable? Are you saying a Panamera is more stable than a 911? A Mazda CX-5 more stable than a Miata? Are you talking seat of the pants feeling (actually in your head) or are you talking about actual performance? I understand we're doing this totally for entertainment on the internet, no malice here at all.
600+ Miles in- The 2 door handles and rides way better than I ever thought. No hopping on the shorter wheel base. Ever so slight body roll on tight fast curves ( 55+ ). Ride is better than my kid's 2019 4 door Rubicon.

Colonial Ford in Danbury CT has a white base model non squach for somewhere around $35K. I saw it today, but cannot remember the exact price. Could be as high as $37K, just can't remember which.
