Outer Banks Sasquatch discussion

[Studawg]

Who's with me?!

Ive been 99% Black Diamond since the beginning but Im really starting to think about the OBX with Squatch.

I love the blue dash and leather, armrest in the rear seats (4dr), the Signature lighting, dont really need vinyl floors, and like the 12" screen and LED approach lamps in the High Package. Add the modular front bumper, delete the side steps and add the Rock Rails. Only negative is the plastic rear bumper. Could replace that down the line and have my perfect Bronco.

Im not even thinking about the Wildtrak because I hate the interior. Also not dead set on the V6.

i love the OBX but hate the look of the wheels. If we could do OBX with the mean looking 33s with nice tread instead of the pizza cutters it has right now, it would be perfect. I have 0 need for the SAS package other than looks.

That would be a very nice Bronco...OBX is fine as long as you Squatch it and take off the running boards, which you are doing. The only thing I don't get with OBX, is that if you configure them like you are discussing...it's about the same cost as a Badlands...with no swaybar disconnect, or upgraded bash plates (or MGV/Washout interior).

I've been OBX since Day 1, don't really need SAS package, but getting it because its BADA$$! Plus, it adds 4X4 Auto and gets rid of the painted fender flares.

if you're going OBX with Sasq., think about Wildtrak. Build both and they're about the same MSRP...each will have a few differences.

I just want the tires. Why on earth can't tires be a standalone option? I'm already looking at a 52k purchase here. The Bronco looks better with 17s anyway -- it's not a design for 18s or 20s or anything. Big meaty tires are the ticket.

Yeah but for me the biggest reason Im thinking of going this route is the OBX interior. I love that blue leather and blue dash. I cant stand the all black interior in the Badlands and with orange stitching to boot?? No way, Jose. Cant do it. Badlands has never been on my radar for that reason.

No, because

OBX blue interior=Beautiful
Wildtrak interior=Heinous

In my opinion.

Dont forget that a part of the 'look' to get those front wheels exposed means spending another $825 on steel bumper. Steel bumper doesnt come with sas on certain trims, such as OBX.

Im getting OBX with 33.2 x 11.1 on stock rims with steel bumper and higher gearing. Posted this earlier today. I danced with getting sas, and frankly, i dont need it, nor am i sure i am going to like sitting that high. It looks cool, but i dont want to feel like im driving a semi-truck every time i need to run to a store. Don’t forget those wrangler photos from earlier this week. The bronco is a big truck. Ride height on a stock OBX is similar to a rubicon.

Plus, I can be surf fishing in the Outer Banks, from my Outer Banks!

My money is on OBX Squatch with one of the cloth interiors being the best looking Bronco in the end. Wildtrack shouldn't even exist. It is literally meaning less (especially without the black mod top). If the WT had an all in discount because it is loaded then yes there is purpose, but it doesn't. Should have been just a black out package to the OBX and saved us the two eye sore interiors that they have on it. Only time will tell but my opinion and bets will be on the OBX Sas.

My reservation is for the Wildtrak . . . and I love the exterior and think the black trim and wheels are the best looking of the trim levels (sure wish there was a black MIC top option . . . ) BUT that interior has had me back and forth with the OBX (and really - it's not the seats so much as it is the beige dash!) . . . I could go with the Badlands but I want the tube steps and have zero need for the sway disconnect. My OBX build - to get as close as I can to the Wildtrak;
- Sasquatch
- MIC Hard Top
- Sound Deadening
- Wheel Lock Kit
- Keyless Entry Keypad
- Leather Blue/Gray Seats
- Aux Switches
- Floor Liners
- Storage Bags
- LUX Package
- 2.7 Ecoboost
- Tow Package
- Canvas Bimini
- I'll also add the Roof Rack & Crossbars and Kayak Carrier
All of this actually brings me less than $200.00 more than the Wildtrak with the same stuff . . . but I lose out on the black wheels, black trim pieces and the Baja mode. Decisions . . .
