Received mine yesterday and am loving it! Ordered via my dealer, Angela Krause Ford, on 10/26/21. They were awesome to deal with and honored the MSRP price we discussed at the time of order. My details:

1. 2.3l
2. 10 speed auto
3. Signature LEDs
4. Rear locker
5. Eruption Green
6. Standard package

Plenty happy with 2.3l engine. Wireless CarPlay seems maybe a bit dodgy with audio at times but otherwise it’s great. I like the stock radio. I have experienced a bit of the cool “draft” around my legs, but I’m definitely getting heat pumping out from floor. Not a big deal to me.

Only near term plans are to replace crash bars with the scalloped ones that are out now and to add the trail armor on the pinch welds.

Picked mine up last week. 2.7, rear locker and mid package were the only options I picked. Waiting on new 285/70R17 BFG A/Ts to come in and my RB20 rock sliders to come in. Reserved Aug of 2021, ordered with Akins Ford .

I am about 300 miles in and loving mine so far. I pulled off the BB stickers on the side panels and plan on putting the old school Bronco lettering once I get my hands on them. I also plan on putting on OEM step bars (mostly so my kids can get in and out of the truck). I swapped out my original antenna for the "stubby" but put it back because the reception sucked. Also not drilling my front bumper for a license plate - attaching it to one of the front tow hooks like @dan79. Thinking about doing some lights by the side views, but on the fence right now (would have to put in a switch since I didn't get the aux set-up).

I did change the antenna for the 50cal bullet one, seems to be fine but I honestly use me phone for music more than the radio. Waiting to change the bb badge to scrips as well this summer when I can wash and wax it there is no touch-less washing near me and its 3 degrees out so i haven't been able to wash it since i got it just fast sprays getting salt off. looking at the gorino steps so the wife and kids can get in once i get the icon 3 inch lift and 37s

AMB big bend here. 2.3, mid, sig lights.

Loving it so far. Can't wait to take it off pavement and see what it's got before I do anything to it.

How noisy are these tires? Also, any rubbing without the spacers?

Glad to be in Big Bend.
This is not mine but this is what I ordered. Noticed how the bronco is backwards on the grill.

4dr, 2.3L, mid package, signature LED lights, auxiliary switches, tow package, and Area 51. So far, I've added some vinyl touches and stubby antenna. I plan to use the aux switches for wheel well lights and cargo area lights. Add a bimini top and more vinyl accents to the dash. I'm loving it!

2.3 with manual, sig LEDs, aux switches, located in Vegas. Bush Wacker hood deflector and trail armor will be going on this weekend. Roush intake was installed a few weeks ago, along with the stubby antenna. Bigger tires this spring.
