Hoping to join you soon. My blend date is tomorrow for my base 4 door soft top, only option was aux switches and rubber floor mats.

Had my 2.7-2 door Base for a little over a month now.
Just turned over 2200 miles, Just changed the oil and I'm
completely satisfied with the vehicle.
A couple small issues, the right rear TPMS sensor was faulty from the factory and the driver and passenger door gaps were off a little and needed a door hinge adjustment.
Used Forscan to delete the Auto Start Stop and adjust the speedometer to the 285/70 R17's KO2's.
And to my amazement, on average, for the first 2200 miles I'm averaging 23.8 mpg. With trip spurts of 100 miles or so at 25 mpg.
The 2.7 has a lot of pep and handles the 33's with ease even with the 3.73 gears.

Looks unreal. Have them on order to be installed before delivery. Can’t wait. Thanks!

What size are these tires? They look really good.

I actually switched to big bend wheels and tires! But those were fallen wild peaks. Right around 33”. They were nice.

base, 2.3L, manual trans, aux switches. delivered Aug 24th (Dec 2020 rsvp, 3/21 order, 10/21 re-order). I have almost 3,000 miles on it so far and I can't wipe the smile from my face. The more I drive it, the less I want to change anything - at least initially... so worth the wait.

The Northridge4x4 Base bronco now with 35" Patagonia M/Ts on TeraFlex Nomad wheels and Low winch bumper and Destroyer series sliders.

base steel wheel specs
16x7 +55mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 93.1mm center bore

nissan spare wheel specs
16x7 +40mm offset, 6x139.7 lugs, 100.3mm center bore

I'll need to order 100.3mm -> 93.1mm hub centric rings, otherwise everything should be good to go. Pic shows stock wheel/tire on the left, nissan wheel/235 tire on the right

and the reason the wagon wheel tugs on my heart strings... my first truck

what website are you using to show that

I played around with that link and it moved it inward. The image you sniped shows positive scrub.

I think you need to increase offset not reduce it, yes?

Your using 55 mm offset for the factory rim which shows zero scrub angle, that would be unusual because most vehicles come with negative scrub angle. Are you sure the factory rim has 55 mm offset?

Using all your values I needed to increase offset to 55 to get negative scrub.

what website are you using to show the wheel well and fender?

I'm in the same boat @lindertw. I'm loving the look of my unaltered Base. I even have a set of BD steelies that I've put off installing. I just love the look of the base steelies....

Impatiently waiting for my base model! If you’ve been driving one for a while, what’re your thoughts so far? What would you suggest I get before delivery to have on hand at day 1? Thanks!

Hi, I've had mine since December I wouldn't change a thing love driving it. the best part is the money you save buying a Base, you can do your own mods and make it your own.
