I don't understand in what universe the wheels poking out of a car/truck makes it look "proper"?

That said though, your Bronco looks cool AF, even without an actual paintjob. My only concern would be rubbing during articulation?
What? The wheels do not stick out past the fenders. The wheel is way inside and the tire tread is completely under the flares with only the sidewall poking out slightly. This is 0 offset.....not -15 or whatever which looks horrendous in my opinion. This sits flush with the fenders whereas the standard +30 offset looks like it's skipping leg day.

I went with this setup because people who ran it on a badlands (which sits higher than normal trims) didn't have any rubbing issues with articulation.

Did you do the install of that winch? I saw some videos, but wasn't big on relocating and cutting things.
Yes. Plasma cutter made short work of the frame horns.

It's driving style. Some people in my urban area practically floor it going light to light. They would never be happy with my 2.3L manual. I have little hope of racing them on pavement and I don't care, it's not at all why I bought the Bronco.

If having a heavy foot and enjoying being first out of the stoplight gate and that sort of thing, I'd recommend V6 with requisite auto.
Like I say it's all in the perception. Yes the 2.7 has more spunk than the 2.3 but the 2.3 is by no means a dog either as so many on here say. There are also people on this forum who think the 2.7 is a guttless wonder again perseption. You should drive a 2.7 f150 regular cab if you want spunk. By the the way those urban stoplight racers are usually the first to complain about gas prices and are upset when their vehicle dies a premature death from abuse. If a quick nimble vehicle is what someones looking for a 4800 pound off roader probably shouldn't be the first choice.

LOL, my 3.5 F-150 standard cab is a little spicy with the 93 octane tune.

My 2020 Ranger had the 2.3 and I test drove a couple of 2.3 Big Bends while my BL was on order. They felt the same so I stuck with the 2.7 and very glad I did. A lot of people don't need it nor do they care but the 2.3 always sounded like it was going to take off with full afterburner just to get going around the parking lot. The 2.7 does so at idle and a lot more quietly. The difference is noticeable for me. My F-150 had 202k when I traded it and I still drive my '92 Ranger with 330k every week. I've always given them hell but within reason and never abused. I've lit the 33's up a few times on my 2dr Badlands too :)

My partners 21 Wildtrak, on the door jam it looks to have been built around the time of my Badlands! We got lucky and picked it up at a carmax with only 6k miles on it and just a few grand over MSRP (from a build &price perspective)... sad to see someone let it go but their loss! She's loving it, hence all the goodies she's done so far 😅😍
