Beer Budget Bronco......begins!

[Beer Budget Bronco]

Well, after 10 months, my Bronco was finally unloaded off of the transport this morning, with me picking it up on Saturday. Struggled to secure one in Central Iowa since Memorial Day of last year, too many wanted mark ups, or didn't have allocation. Bigger necessarily isn't better, in terms of dealers in this example, with the Ford dealer 2.5 hours away where I used to live, was owed a 2022 allocation from Ford. Long story short, they converted it to my build spec, which Ford was more than happy to build since I just wanted a base.

And the Beer Budget Bronco was born, a 2023 MY, 2022 pricing still, and only floor mats and Aux switches as options I selected.

So next week I have a bunch of parts to put on the Bronco. Went with KMC 17" +18 wheels and 315/12.5R17 mud tires. This is a toy, not my daily, but it is funny to see what the wheels look like against the daily RAV4.

Prefect timing, Spring is around the corner here in Iowa, and this was last year's project that is 95% completed. These things are getting pretty rare, especially the first model year here in the US, not to mention the Red/White/Blue color scheme. Unfortunately, I don't know how much action she will see with the Bronco now.

Congrats. I see you have black Bronco grill letters. I thought they came only in white.

Base model has black letters standard. I believe the only trim like that

Looking forward to seeing the follow up! I have a base on the way.

What bronze overlays did you get? I'm going EG on bronze and the grill letters are one of the first mods I'm doing after wheels and tires.

I got them off Etsy, the bronze is dang close to my wheel color, from this seller who happens to also be in Iowa.
