on the wheels. The raised white letters are a great compliment.

Those painted flares are sick. Did they require drilling?Build: Badlands / Sasquatch / 2.3 / Manual / Lux Pkg / Factory Soft Top (until December)
Ordered Build Week Built Shipped Delivered 01/01/22 08/15/22 08/25/22 ~09/01/21 09/09/22
Build Journal: I put a reservation down the 28th of July 2020, but 99'ed my order as I really wanted MGV, but did NOT want black. I know other models had "space grey", but I was hoping for a much lighter color. When the 2nd model year options dropped, and I saw that MGV options, especially on the trims I was considering, had not changed I pulled the trigger beginning of this year.

How noisy are those tires compared to stock? Any added weight?Looks great. I like your tire choice too!!!!
NO. They are awesome as is.Thanks! In hindsight, I wondered if I should just powdercoat the OEM rims to an Oxford White, but I really love the American Racing rims....

I only have 500 miles on the Bronco…10 on stock..rest on the Coopers. I would say going from M/T to A/T they are a bit quieter. I’m still working on my optimal air pressure. Others have posted, and I agree, that 40 psi is too high. I am running 35 psi in the front and 34 in the back. I think thats going to be a very good compromise for me ref road manners.How noisy are those tires compared to stock? Any added weight?
I'm on this site everyday, drooling over pretty much every build, but this may be my favorite. I wouldn't change a single thing! That color with those wheels in the picture at dusk... Perfect! It's the remote control car we all had as kids that we wish we could enlarge and drive for real!Build: Badlands / Sasquatch / 2.3 / Manual / Lux Pkg / Factory Soft Top (until December)

Great job on this and thank you for sharing!
They are not noisy at all. I also had them on an F150. Great tire, no 4X4 tire type noise, no "howl". Best tire I think I ever used on anything. As far as weight.....these are 18" on an 18" wheel. Stock was 17". Probably a little heavier than stock but not a lot. I could pick up the spare/wheel fairly easily. I would guess 80 lbs.How noisy are those tires compared to stock? Any added weight?
Here is some info. My size chart says the tire alone is 53 lbs. Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT | LT265/70R18 (tirerack.com)They are not noisy at all. I also had them on an F150.

Definitily like the looks and mods of your build. Well done.Build: Badlands / Sasquatch / 2.3 / Manual / Lux Pkg / Factory Soft Top (until December)
Someone on here powder coated their AR wheels, really looked good.Thanks! In hindsight, I wondered if I should just powdercoat the OEM rims to an Oxford White, but I really love the American Racing rims....
Did you special order the white grill?
Love the build!
