What a Saturday (except traffic on N5). Rigs looked great! Was concerned about size and roast leather! Both are good to me. Plus ate at Kings Seafood!

Did you see a 2 dr up close by chance ?
There were no 2-doors touring in the San Diego region (I think it was just these two Broncos). Word is few/none of the two doors are on these bi-coastal (for now) road shows.

Hello My friends,

Finally, I got to see the Bronco in real life! I have to say that I loved the car a lot, the car is big! the Black Diamond is big! I personally advise anyone who will squatch a car for a daily drive to skip and just get a BD instead.
Those steelies are amazing! they look much much better in person! I wouldn't mind them on my OBX.

I have strange feelings for the Cactus Gray, it shows green or cement gray depending on the angle, I liked it but I'd rather get a straight forward green car :)

The car is comfy from the inside, I expected it to be bigger than this but it's not bad, I am 5'9" and if I set my driver seat to my comfort zone I'd be very uncomfortable sitting behind myself in the back, which is ok to me but be careful if you are getting a 2-door and expecting large room.

The black looks better in pictures, the car had a lot of noticeable scratches, they did a good job cleaning the car but you can see blemishes, I certainly didn't like it.

No filters were used, I took a lot of pics/some repetitive by reflecting different shades of colors hoping to help other Bronco fans make a better decision, I wish someone else can take this many pics of a Cyber Orange Bronco.

Thanks for the Pictures. Like the look at the MGV and commentary. I'm all in for the MGV on my BL.

I was talking with one of the guys at the event (not Bronco Jesus, although I did talk to him as well...he's not sure why everyone thinks he has a mullet...told him he might have to remove the hat sometime) and he showed me some pics of the Broncos of when they arrived in SoCal after the drive from Michigan. Holy crap they were so dirty, the dealers cleaned it up for them so blame them for the swirls.

On another note the guy also mentioned that with the soft top the drive was a bit noisy. Although I'm not sure what his reference is; I drove a 16yr old Jeep with MTs in Safari mode to the event so my reference could skew the other way.

I was there from 11:30 to 1:00! Really pleased with the MGV and cactus grey. I totally agree on the outer banks the, it looked really rough. It made me change from AMB to CG so I dont have to deal with swirls. The 32s are plenty big for the 4dr and look smaller in photos, in person it looks great.

I've also ordered a CG BD 4 door. Will be a '22 but It'll be fun seeing them out on the road beforehand. What is your exact build by the way? Thanks!

I’m new to the group, but used the thread on events in my area to take an extended lunch today, and drive from east county to visit Vista.
I asked about the engine cover and the three marketing folks on tour didn’t have much insight.
This forum seems much more informed than the one Dealership employee I saw in line to take a look. No kidding.
I took a few shots I thought y’all would want to see. The vents or flaps in the lower bumper for the inter cooler? are interesting. Reminded me of a Defender bit of tech.
I landed here after learning the Defender has issues. 😂 I currently drive a 2010 F250 Diesel 4x4, and was surprised at Anza recently how capable it was! No deposit or order yet, but very hopeful for something with Fox active suspension in 2023. 😃

I needed to hear that. Just changed to OBX and the tires were the only thing that made me hesitate. Hope their bigger in person.

Question for the enthusiasts. Other then the ability to disengage for rock crawling, does the BL have a different suspension ? I’m asking because I have the OBX two door pegged, but want to immediately swap the tires to what comes standard on the BL. I don’t believe there will be a clearance issue, but would like to be 100% sure. Thanks all.
