4-Door Badlands AREA 51 with soft top down at King of Hammers

[Norm A.]

I wish Ford would just give it a rest with that ugly bull bar. We get it. It’s an accessory. Let’s move on to some of... the... other... [thinks about bushwhacker flares] Uh, you know what, let’s keep using this one.

I believe the Bull Bar has been renamed the B O Bar from another thread I read

Butt that reflection though! Both great looking units. Thanks for pics!

Jeez all I noticed was her boots

4 Door Broncos look like a limousine that is just a little too short. Definitely feel, even when squatched, they are just not properly proportioned?!.

I ordered a 4dr, but I feel the same way. Hoping with 37's it looks a little bit less limoey.

No one's seen a 4dr with 37's yet, have they?

The name of that bar from the classic broncos is "cactus smasher".

Looks to be 0 offset

Since they're 17x9 and those are the standard flares, which they look like, then I'd bet more on the +30 offset ones than than the +0 offset ones.

Not a bad looking wheel and at least it has a Satin charcoal option instead of having Satin black as the only color.

I'm kind of tired seeing good looking wheels having the only color option as some form of Black. (I realize powder coating is an option, but why spend $50 to $100+ a wheel more just to get something you prefer.)

long shot, I know, but if anyone is going for a ride this week, if you can get a sealed up (MIC, Mod, soft top all buttoned up, will take what I can get, 2-door Bronco to ride in, pretty please, with sugar on top; roll up all the windows but one and see how bad it 'helicopter' sounds/thrums at speed. That is one of my worries, that it will be bad with the echo chamber rear shell. My window is almost always down even in the winter or rain (at least enough to ash a 48+ ring cigar out the window) and if it booms on the interior, will drive me batty). I figure it will be fine with two windows (partially) down or the front tops off, but weather doesn't always allow that. Thanks and such!

Wheels look like RTR's. Which makes sense with their stickers are all over the Ultra Broncos posted earlier.

Great look on this Badlands. The RTR wheel is available with a R17X9+30. I'll
assume the bolt pattern is correct @ 6X5.5 since it is listed as a Ranger wheel.
Goodrich specs state that the LT285/R17/C will fit a 9" wide wheel. So the question
I have is this. Will this wheel/tire combination work on a Badlands with about 1 inch
of tire outside the OEM set up? Is this too much? Will it fit? What do you think?
Thanks, Mike

There are two A51 Bronco's here and I can't quite figure out what's going on.

 

[SD_Bronco]

Hey guys! For those of you out there already, any one know If you have to register for the bronco rides? I’m driving up this Friday or Saturday and want to make sure I can get a ride after 4 hour trip haha. Or is it first come first serve?
thanks!

 

[Thrasher78]

My understanding rides will be by raffle or random draw

Add these to the Hammertown Photo's
: Jerry Foley fb friend on mine! Also said the Ford Rep said Tuesday they are allowed to drive. Sooo waiting to hear how they goes! This one's got some sweet AM wheels too!

RTR is the brand. I also noticed they sponsor the bronco 4400s.

The tires on that Bronco are said to be 35's, not 33's. Not sure if they are 315's or actual 35's though.

Man that Area 51 keeps growing on me. VB is my current choice but I'm definitely going to need to see them in person. Will help that I've got a MY22 build.

Thanks for the pics

My first choice for our Badlands was Cyber Orange then my wife liked VB so that was it, then we saw the Area 51 and now we are firmly on the Area 51 bandwagon LOL
