I love all these pictures. My build week is 2/7. Can't wait to get my 2 door, velocity blue, mid package with tube step, signature head lights and aux switches.
Sounds like my package, but I chose the 4DR....hopefully you get yours soon!

AMB. Rough Country nudge bar and shackle adapters. Leveling kit going in next week. American Racing Outlaw II's with BF Goodrich AT KO2's. Flares and top will be white at some point soon.

Unfortunately I have yet to see it without salt all over it.

Curious to hear why folks chose the BB over the other models. Was it cost only?

Mine should be built in the coming weeks 😁

Got some snow happening now, stuck at work so can't got out and play

That's a good looking truck - lucky to have gotten AMB while it existed. How has it been in the snow? I have a BB on the way (fingers crossed) and the only thing I sometimes second guess is the lack of 4A.

I was also cognizant of the weight, as someone who was dead set on the 2.3 / 7 speed. I don't need skid plates etc. for the driving I'm likely to do, and I didn't want to add an extra 400-500 lbs to an already heavy vehicle with a 4 cyl.

Install was easy for the shackle adapters. Doing it with the nudge bar was a little more convoluted. Especially without a lift on the cold ground.

One trick I realized (thankfully beforehand before I realized it was in the instructions) was to do one side at a time. The hooks/adapters are mounting points for the turbo intercooler. Because of this Im not sure the front hooks could be used on the back. Mine already has a tow hook on the back on the drivers side. Do you not have one there?

The nudge bar instructions don't mention this and just tell you can do one at a time or both, whatever is easier.

I ordered a Draw Tite hitch (unfortunately on back order from etrailer.com) because the receiver is about 6" long so you don't need an adapter for attachments. The instructions also claim you can install it without removing the bumper or muffler.

I was going to ask this same question. So I’ll answer it. Thanks for posting.
We looked at all the trims and had list of can’t do withouts and nice to haves.
I took my daughters to go look at a bronco at a local dealership after we ordered one. We realized we needed sidesteps and I’m so busy with work, aftermarket would be great but I need something that’s easy for them to climb in. and us from a time standpoint. Order it. We have small people in our house. Then the other options we needed required us to get the Mid package. We investigated all the other models in this always came out as the best value for us. We’re getting a 2.7 L, Sasquatch four-door with tubes and tow which requires a mid package. Oh and it’s an eruption green.

We kept the normal lights and I think they look really good with the gray grill. Very old-school. It’s just our opinion.

So far its gone through what we have gotten like a tank. Only had to turn 4hi on a few times, and even then probably didn't need it. Only time I have really needed it was when playing around in the unplowed areas of our industrial park. Then again used to drive mustangs so I'm fairly confident in my driving abilities in the snow.

And thanks o absolutely love the AMB. I would have been crushed if I missed out on it
