DELIVERED - Shadow Black Big Bend 2dr 2.3L

[Bronco_Giddy_Up]

Surprise early delivery this week. Dealer experience was a bit painful, but picked it up Friday and got 35’s on it Sat am.

I have the same as you just red in color hopefully coming soon . Congrats.

My question : Are those the standard black/gray wheels that came from factory and you just put on those 315/70/R17 or are those 35's/70/R17. so no rubbing rear or front of wheel arch.

Thanks! Red will look awesome! These are the factory rims for the Big Bend, and the exact spec is 315/70/R17 Goodyear tires. No rubbing that I have experienced yet. Just remove the brush bars on the front and back of the front wheels and you are good to go

So does op have the mic top 2.0 if he just took delivery it should be a 2.0 . I’m worried that they just made the outside look a little better but really didn’t address anything . I’ve seen others on hear with 2.0 tops with cosmetic issues as well. How hard is it to get this damn top built the correct way

does increasing tire size this much create any issues with drivetrain, gearing, low RPM or low torque at low speeds?

Top leaks in two places. Def gonna be a problem. Hopefully there is a solution.

@Administrator Mic 2.0 leaks?!?

Were the crash bars taken off? Can you do a pic straight on from the front? The tire poke makes them look narrower than 315s. They almost look like 35x11.5x17.

Also, did you get the locker with the 4.27 gearing?

The leaking is such a HUGE disappointment. Tier 1 suppliers need to get their sh*t together.

UPDATE: Spoke to the dealer today and they are going to look. In the mean time we unseated the front roof panels and placed them back. Then we took it to the car wash and hit it with the high pressure spray for 15 mins and so far no leaks. Fingers crossed that the panels were just seated a little off at the plant And that was what caused the original leak.

Crash bars are off. They are standard tires, it’s just the limited offset on the stock rims keeps them tucked in. Need a neg offset rim to get that poke.

did not get the locker.

nothing that I have noticed. I have to have the dealer recalibrate for the larger tire, so you are faster by 1mph for every 10mph on the speedo. Speedo says 50, you are going 55, etc.

I know you said just the crash bars off to fit the tires, but I just have to ask for the record. Any leveling kit ???? or spacer lift ????

Nice ride !!!! Can't wait to get my 2DR Squatch.
