Wow, no idea discount would buy your take offs. Think I might rather go that way instead of Facebook marketplace.
actually I did not have anything else in writing, only our initial sales order and the window sticker from Ford. I was concerned seeing the other bad experiences and was very relieved with their follow through
Lol, uhm I kinda want it done right. I’m currently taking applications and interviews for anyone that touches this vehicle. 20+ years experience required
My dealer is telling me they can’t charge over MSRP on reservation orders like this but it still has me nervous since I only have the preview sheet. Glad to hear someone else did as well and made out okay!
I love your entire story. Especially knowing my build is identical to yours, except I have a day 3 rez and 2.7 engine.

My experience was a great one but had a few worries along the way. I was a first day reservation and haven’t waivered since day 1 except for one thing. My initial reservation was with my local Ford dealer down the street. Last year when I realized they were not on the “NO-ADM List” I decided I need to change to a dealer that honors their “No-ADM” commitment to reservation holders and Legacy Ford was that Dealer. Pete told me last year that they would hold to that commitment. They were 1.5 hours away from me but totally worth it. I walked in and back out with my agreed upon invoice pricing for the sale plus a few paid for “perks” that the dealership offers (a few that I didn’t really want or ask for, they took several of them back off the sales order when I pressed Gene about it). They did not allow my X-Plan pricing discount but that was to be expected from the official Ford emails about X-Plan not being used for Broncos. Pete Rivas was my primary contact for this sale and has been there with me all along the way. His sales counterpart Gene Hoot got the pleasure of dealing with me in all my “over-documentation and preparedness” I didn't quite get the trade-in value on my mustang that I was hoping for however I do believe that it was fair as we both gave a little to meet in the middle on it. The staff at Legacy Ford were extremely helpful and overall they were just as excited to see the Bronco as well. They kept other customers at bay that were wanting to purchase the Bronco out from under us as well.
Legacy Ford provided a great service and does not know that I wrote this blog review on their behalf.

- Reservation - Day 1
- Order Conversion Date – 2/22
- Build Week – 6/21
- Blend date – 6/22
- Built on – 6/23
- Delivery Date Range – 7/11-7/17
- Actual Arrival Date – 7/26
I need to mention for many of you who are like I was “checking the Ford delivery status 3 times per day”. Please don’t rely on that stupid Ford tracker. It first told me a delivery date range of 7/11-7/17, then changed a week later to 7/20-7/26, then changed again to 8/9-8/15. In fact, I’ve had my Bronco for 2 days now and it is currently telling me to expect delivery on 8/15…
I’ve had to breath in a paper bag a few times and wonder how I got to this point of Bronco-Fever.
Check out my Day – 1 Mod – 35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers (285/75-18) from Discount Tire
Note – This is stock suspension and stock Outer banks wheels, Non-Sas, but I did have to remove the crash bars for fitting the 35’s with no rub. I have the 4WP level lift that includes the modified crash bars still to install (probably in a week or two) but this is pictured without the level lift.
This really changed the overall look from Mall-Crawler to Actual Off-Road Vehicle
My next mod besides getting the Level lift installed is to get outfitted with Oracle lighting. Here’s a few more Pics, Also the 35” spare tire barely fits under the third brake light. It’s actually pressing against it slightly and the third light extension from 4WP is probably a good idea.
Tire size difference: Stock 32” vs 35’s
Discount Tire bought back the stock tires at a lower rate and contributed a discount toward my cost of the new ones, in case you’re not wanting the hassle of selling them on E-bay. You could get more for them on E-bay but have to deal with the shipping, local pickup etc.
I too have an OBX on rez….I was thinking 33” on the OEM rims. The 33.5” won’t rub and won’t need mods like the OP? I read that 33” might require a 1” lift on a OBX.
Hey op, I see you went with the Ridge grapplers. Did you consider the Terra grapplers at all? Should fit and they offer improved road manners than the ridges, tho the ridges appear more aggressive

I agree, I think a 275/70/18 would give you a little more tire without any trouble. Kind of what I am eyeing for my 1st set of tires when needed. 35s just look a little bigger than what I am after.
This is exactly what I plan on putting on my OBX. They look great, thanks for sharing the images. I’ve been wondering how the stock wheels were going to look. The level kit you’re putting on, is just 1” in the front? I was look to do 2” in front 1” in back.

Thanks, the level kit is the one from 4wp and it is 2 or 2.5" in Front depending on if you choose to use the extra 1/2" plate they provide and 1" in rear. I'm having it installed this Friday and I can send you a pic.
