Big Bend Bronco Thread

[qnet]

The BB is right at the level I want. I was looking at a 4DR. Wrangler in the parking lot at work. It had the same size tires that the BB comes with, but with M/T tires. I was thinking how good those may look on a 2DR. Bronco, even with A/T tires.

The grille is one of my reasons to "downgrade" from the Outer Banks. (Although I wouldn't consider it a downgrade; just a change of plans)

Agreed. I'm also not not crazy about the OB paint matched door handles and fender flares. I think BB has a more classic Bronco look.

Oh nice that's what I've been waiting to see. I reserved a BD but then I'm contemplating options and price. AMB for me also and I don't mind that with gray top

Is that antimatter?

Yes, it is.

Since I posted that post I learned/realized that parts like the grille can be easily replaced for not too much money. Painted door handles, fenders and roof are an entirely different problem.

I plan on going 2 door Base + Sasquatch Package. For now. I thought about going Big Bend just incase I change my mine in the paint department from Antimatter to Area 51.

The problem with the Big Bend for me is I just can’t justify the extra $4800 over the Base especially when going Sasquatch.

When going Sasquatch ill be getting the Beadlock and 35s so the upgraded 32s and fancy wheels will be moot. And what else is there extra? Tinted glass, carbonized grey grill, extra Goat mode, leather steering wheel, leather shifter knob and fog lights? For $4,800 more???? Those are small things. None of those items should cost that much. Am I missing something? That would be one expensive paint option.

I'm actually hoping I'm missing something so I can justify to extra cost. All the big things like heated seats and remote start still seem to be extra that you still have to pay for.

That's not a bad route, and I think a lot of people may do that. I'm certainly thinking about it. The only issue for me is the sasquatch pkg. is way overkill for me. I would eventually take it off road but nothing heavy.

I really want the modular top, Area 51 or Cactus gray colors. $4800 for being able to have those choices, along with the extra stuff you mentioned is steep.

It would be nice if we had more examples of what these lower model Broncos actually will look like.

Keep in mind that all Broncos that are out right now are pre production Frankensteins. So here is a picture of a Base Bronco with Sasquatch with modular bumper option. Obviously the Cyber Orange is not available for the Base now so you just have to picture it a different color.

I love the build discussions. I’m trying to stay as close to 40k as I can. A big if auto is 1,600 and Mid is 1600 then my 2 dr BB build is just 2000 less than OB, BUT I like the grill- head lights, rims, fender flares, door handles, even grey hard top on the BB and don’t like the tube step and saving 2000 is still something when you’re trying to stay close to 40k. Am I missing something that makes my case fall apart?

I think the only reason to get Big Bend is if you want the Mid Package. You're packing paying for the privilege, lol.

This will be my daily driver and so I'd want some of the comforts of the Mid Package.

Same here - I realized by the time I added auto and mid I was close to the OB, but I do prefer the look of the BB.

I have always thought the Base grill was the best looking out of all the trims. Just black and simple

I agree. It has that tough Tonka Truck type of look. Its the best grill IMO.

And how much is the mid package on top of the extra $4,800? Just seems overpriced. I don't know.

Funny you say that.. I was spitballing an

i think the Big Bend is a cool rig but the price point is strange. I think out off the trims it’s the hardest one to figure out where the money is at in it..
