Black Diamond Bronco Thread

[Mustang Mike]

I got the brush guard with the intent on being it to work and modifying it almost right away, I like the look but not how it covers the bronco lettering on the grille.

Rims and tires are another thing that won’t last long, I’ll use the steelies as a dedicated winter wheel with an actual proper winter tire. Then I’ll be swapping between a summer off-road tire/rim combo and winter wheels! I see a lot of guys with super all terrain tires slide into intersections or off the road when it’s icy! Needing two sets of tires per vehicle is yet another annoying strike against Canada!

I hope to order this coming week. Same exact specs as you but adding Mid Package and not adding the brush guard and floor liners. I'm going to wait until Weathertech comes out with their version. As for the wheels, I am going with the Steelies for now but on the DIO list there is something called Ranger Bronco Channel Wheels-Kit of 5 for $1299. My dealer doesn't have any details on what those are about. I think with Squatch being a constrained commodity a ton of Badlands takeoffs will be available.

That is actually what is keeping me AWAY from anything above BD. I prefer the standard headlights.

I'm in this camp as well, I like the "old school" Bronco look to them (taillights as well). I really wanted a BL but BD is a really good value, and besides I can do a lot of traveling for the $4,400 I'm saving over the BL.

I will definitely be hauling a case of hamms into the deep woods of Michigan’s upper peninsula. Hamms is the top of the bottom for cheap beers.

I'm originally from Calumet. My '67 was my first car (bought in '84), did a ton of wheelin' in it all over the UP!!

I will say, if you are going to the UP, definitely check out “Upper Hand” brewery. It’s located in Escanaba, but available all across the upper peninsula. Starting next month they are going to start shipping it to the Lower. Definitely excited for that.

Do they still look small to you? They seem alright in this video.

The tires and rims look great in this video! I love the look!!

Beer Taste Test Top 30

Chicago Craft Brewer's Top Choice

So, check these out for all the beer lovers on the forum. Chicago Craft brewers did a blind taste test in 2017 in the second link. The first link is a more recent taste test that references the Chicago Craft Brewer's taste test. Enjoy.

Nice article. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Hamm’s for sale around here. But we do have Matt’s Brewery who makes Saranac, but more importantly, UTICA CLUB. I hiked one of the Adirondack firetower peaks this fall, and brought one to go with my lunch. That was a good day.

I don't don't like how the Brush Guard cover the Bronco on the Grill either. How will you modify it? BTW, I was born in Buffalo but I was only there for my first 4 & 1/2 years of life. The next 48 years have been spent in the sunny and humid south where snow doesn't happen much. No need for snow tires here. Although I was taught how to drive in the snow and ice by my parents, I usually try to stay off the roads because people down here have no clue how to navigate in it.

My life is Beer. It's going to pay for my Black Diamond!

Just took these pics. Looks great. The interior is really nice! Def worth going to from base. The tire size looked better than is thought so the 33’s I think will look perfect.

I talked to my dealer yesterday and asked about the ability to add the Mid-Package a manual Black Diamond. I haven't heard back from them yet. I'll post an update when I hear something.

I looked at the submitted order sheet to see how many people opted for manuals in the Badlands, Black Diamond, and Big bend trims. There were 48 (31 Badlands, 14 Black Diamonds, and 3 Big Bends). Around 40 percent of the total orders are for Badlands. Hopefully Ford realizes allowing the mid manual on the lower trims would allow them to ship out more Broncos with out having to wait on Badlands parts.

I was sold on BD until the they decide to eliminate the possibility of 7MT BD with the Mid package. I ordered a 7mt BL because the mid wasn’t available on the 7mt BD. (I guess this was their intention)

That looks fantastic. Have we figured out if the interior materials -dash, center console, etc - are hard plastic? or is it upgraded to soft touch at this level?

Agreed lol

I know it's old info for everyone, but since it's never considered the stick, yesterday I did wonder if I could get a stick and the 2.3 a bit faster, only to discover no mid package! What??? And now I remember so many folks complaining about that early on. I finally agree with them LOL. But I'll stick with my mid package.

That's what I ended up doing too. Although, I'm not TOO mad about having the option to run with the 2.7.
