My base Sasquatch evolving….

blackened Beal locks, blacked out Ford logo, rock rails added…

Looks amazing! Did you paint the bead lock rings yourself? If so, what kind of paint did you use?

I considered getting it powder coated, or even just rattle-can painting it, but I wasn’t sure I was fully committed.

I did it with plasti dip so I could uncommit if I didn’t like It - that stuff can be peeled off if you’re persistent. Some folks have done rims and had them last years, even off road. See YouTube videos on plasti dipping rims for details.

It cost me about $45 for a couple of cans of plasti dip, and some plasti dip gloss to make it shine. it actually looks pretty good, even up close.

Wanted to double check, but for those of you with Automatic Base Broncos - can you remote start your Bronco with the Ford App?

Can confirm that you can remote start and lock/unlock with the app.

I purchased a base two door to put into my Badlands SAS for my son. Had it painted cactus gray to match mine. I don’t think it’s a base since it does have signature head lights.

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Very nice! Can I ask you to post a straight side shot of your bronco, please?

Thanks!

I have been searching everywhere on the internet to find a combination of Base Bronco with this tire size. Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to go to this route. What's your miles per hour difference? Any difference in miles per gallon?

I had the same exact thought

If only the tow package . . .

So I just checked and the tire size (actual diameter) is the same as the black diamond on 265 70 17 . It may be a hair off, but it should look like this.

According to charts they are both 31.5" diameter.

265/70R17	LT265/75R16
265/75R16

also this one is the same. I think it looks good and might be a good medium for ride quality and mpgs

Thanks! Any MPG loss? MPH off about 2 mph? Any ride quality change?

Only have 400 miles on it. Tires were put on at delivery so I don’t really have a baseline. I did a 230 mile round trip to visit my son at college and averaged about 19.5mpg. Around town I’m getting 18.7 currently. Speedo seems to be dead on with the roadside speed warning signs but I’m not sure how to accurately check. GPS? Ride quality seems much better. Feels “solid” I would say. Traction is great. Overall happy with the choice in both looks and performance.
