Went to Tennessee today an got to see several Broncos! I got there too late to get a ride in one :-(

Things I really liked:
1. The Marine grade vinyl seats really are amazing!
2. The 33" tires on the BL will be plenty of tire! One of the drivers told me, he plans on getting 33's and changing them to 285/75 someday.
3. The back is 2'7" deep and 3'9" wide (with the seats up)
4. The little storage area in the back (under the floor) might be big enough for a hidden air compressor or maybe a winch if you do some cutting.
5. The MIC tops are easy

to take off and are pretty lite.

Here are some disappointments..
1. Really don't like window wobble when opening the doors!!!
2. The cool bronco horse logo on the hump (in the back seat) is rubber and part of the floor mat behind the driver. I'm SURE the color will wear off in time.
3. The back seats fold down and crates a 4" step to the floor in the back

Is your photo of a 4-door MIC hardtop? Seems quite a bit different than the 2-door MIC hardtop (see below).

Also that's interesting the door glass does not fit into any sort of groove as in some other frameless designs. Mostly it's the pressing up against the seal that will prevent air/water from getting inside?

I've seen this mention of hiding a winch in the cubby in the back. I just wanna be sure yall know the winch can't mount there, it needs to be mounted to the frame not the body. The tub could be cut out to allow access to a winch but the door in the floor likely isn't water tight so expect extra road noise, wind noise, and grime making its way through the cracks. Making the door water tight is a possibility, but really at this point there's so much work put in.. well its no different than mounting a rear winch on any other SUV.

Looks like the window didn't lower slightly when opening the door as I think it should. Thats how they work in the Mustangs. May be a pre production thing.
I think it's dropping, but too slowly?

Correct. The window does not drop in time and catches on the weather strip on the top. I'm sure it does the same thing on the two dor.

Sure does look like that. And your thinking is correct, they are most certainly suppose to drop like the mustang.

OP, any chance the battery dead?

The frame actually has a cross member just behind the cubby. The hitch is atted to it.

. Hahahahaha read the site again.

“33" all-terrain or available 33" or 35" mud-terrain tires”

Tire size is what you focused on, figured it would be the Diesel option.

Ohtay my Bronco Badlands is coming with Sasquatch and all it’s options and 35 Mud Terrains. If not it’s not mine.

Sure. But any trim level will come with 35"MTs if the buyer elects to add the Sasquatch package. It has nothing to do with the Badlands trim.
