I've been getting some miles in with this thing over the last few months. I never knew wrestling a bucking Bronco at highway speeds would be this fun.

Currently at 90k miles - estimated trade-in value less than 50% of the purchase price. A real depreciation champion.

Has anyone got Carbonized Gray Wheel "Beauty Rings" to match the vehicle. I am specifically referring to Sasquatch bead lock wheels. Wondering if there is an easy way to do this.

Not yet but pretty close to doing it.
I’d call a local powder coating company.

For those who want a painted grille, it’s worth it

Quick question for you, I've been looking at roof racks like this for when mine comes in. Do you notice a substantial amount of increased wind noise?

I regret getting the OEM roof rack, you’ll do well with the after market that will allow all top section to be remove and the wind shield will only help with the noise.

Search "beauty rings" (in quotes). The subject has come up on a number of threads, including vendors and DIY posts.

(My apologies if I sound snarky, but lots of questions can be answered with some creative searching.)

I installed this RCI full roof rack 2 days after my Bronco came in. I'll be honest that I can't give you a good answer on wind noise as I don't really have a frame of reference on how it sounded before I installed it because my only drive without it was when I picked it up from the dealer. But overall there is quite a bit of wind/road noise when driving at highway speeds, but from my understanding that's just the nature of these Broncos themselves. I have the factory sound deadening on my hardtop, but yeah, road/wind noise is going to be a thing regardless.

As for the rack itself, I absolutely love it. I can still remove both the front and middle sections of my roof without having to remove the rack, which was one of the reasons I went with RCI. I also went specifically with this one because I liked that the front wind deflector was straight along the roof line and not curved like most other brands. Lastly, even with the ability to remove my roof panels with it installed, it doesn't sit obnoxiously high like other brands do with the same feature.

Hopefully this helps your decision and you find it useful.

Thank you for sharing your insights. I'd wondered if the wind deflector made a significant difference.

When I test drove a wildtrak it had the factory rack and sounded horrible.
