Man those 35's are stuffed in there, this thing needs a level/lift, then it's perfect. I am hoping the 2" lift is an option!

It is almost ok with A51 (and that red color in another thread) but it still matches NOTHING else on the Bronco.

So still struggling with how grey was ever green-lighted for this. And this is coming from a guy that loves grey - my current fleet of cars are silver, grey, and dark grey; travel trailer is dark grey; 2 of 4 bikes are grey; my vacation house is greyish colored; my beard is turning grey.... but still I don't like this.

I've never had any issue with the gray roof, but I'm still back and forth on Area 51.

My thoughts are that Ford wanted to distance the appearance from Jeep and to be able to up charge for the painted black/white/body color. Not a bad business model, but there no getting around the gray doesn't make this rig look the best it can.

Is it just me or does that setup look like there is not enough clearance from the tire to the wheel well to go off road? Like every single rock or bump seems like that tire would rub

I am pretty sure it is to make some buyers decide they have to upgrade from a Base for the ability to upgrade/option out the top. Jeep does that by restricting the base Sport to only get manual windows, door-locks, and a sad looking radio. But the base Bronco is actually pretty good other than this faded grey top (and riding on what appear to be 4 donuts with missing hubcaps - but wheels are easy fixes).

It's dying for a lift.

This actually looks terrible to be honest lol. I hate this. To each their own. Maybe it’s because you painted the windows.
