Just Test Drove the Bronco-1st One in the State

[jkburg]

This is great information! I read you mentioning the quiet ride and you maybe already answered this. How are the Goodyear tires? You wouldn’t believe the amount of daydream time I’ve thought about whether I’ll need to replace them

Depends on what you are doing with it. I wouldn’t unless it’s something out of the ordinary. Personally I’d wait, drive it to the first tire rotation and then maybe decide from there. At worse they would be special use tires and you can put it on the rack and swap them for pretty cheap. Spend that $1,000 on some cool accessories instead.

What a great way to ruin a vehicle's appearance.

I rode in a 4-door Badlands soft top at SCE and at 45 mph I could hear the slight hum of the tires, for whatever that's worth. 70 mph might be different but at 45 it was like being in any other vehicle.

Agree, because this is my color choice

I noticed it but wasn’t taken aback by it or appalled by it. It was just like, ok I see you. Unfortunately, WI has front plate requirement although not often enforced. I may ask to not drill it especially as mine will have the bull bar. Where would they put it if you have that and the winch?

somewhere on here I saw a kit that allows you to mount it on one of the front tow hooks, that's what I'll be getting I think. Don't really care about the plate or where it's at, but don't like the idea of drilling holes. Silly I guess, but it irks me.

Wow. That’s it. Looks the same as the photo on the website. $5,000 market adjustment, gotta just love that.

I have to say it is a darn nice color and goes great with the MIC top that you probably won’t get. Looked good in the rain, overcast and really think it will show nice in the sun. Would have been on my short list but not available on FE. As an additional comment the roof rack looked really good. Was not very impressed with the sidestep, looked a little cheap and definitely had some give when this 180 lb….240 guy stepped on it. Also, mentioned a fozen tumes before but I love all the little Bronco touches and callbacks etc.. Really makes it feel like something special.

I hope they don't accidentally sell it, being an FCTP unit and all.

Thank you!! I’ll follow that advice as they must not be loud enough to be too bad or interfering. I’m such a fan of BFG KO2 but who knows after some time I may decide to go up to 37’s!! Thanks again!

Seriously where does the front license plate go on a standard plastic bumper. Hopefully centered in the front bummer and not sticking above it near or in grill? Can anyone confirm this? Thx

 

[Blue76]

Well…the early Bronco tag was mounted to the grill as well. Just off to the side some.

This is the only other position we’ve seen so far (slightly lower overlapping the plastic bumper):

Here are a couple threads on the plate mount:
