Pics: Cactus Gray on 4 Door Bronco Sasquatch w/ MIC HardTop

[tshaw2009]

I hate, hate, hate factory rake. I understand it serves a purpose from an aerodynamic standpoint and for towing, but the amount of rake looks awful on this Bronco. It is also limiting upward suspension travel by at least an inch. I think a 1 or 2 inch leveling kit will be the first order of business once I take delivery. To repeat, factory rake on an off-road utility vehicle is AAGGHHHH!!!!!

I will likely put in stiffer springs of the same length when they are available, to lift it an inch or so in the front. It's a balance though to get the spring weight correct, as you don't want that thing running proud either. Aftermarket should be quick with that type of thing.

Don't want to end up with the Carolina Squat*




*Fair warning: don't google that if you're unfamiliar with it

Eibach makes a taller and slightly stiffer spring for the Raptor to solve for the rake. I am sure Eibach will do the same for the Bronco. I would even say Eibach will have multiple applications to account for diff suspension (trims) and engine size due to the weight difference of the 2.3 and 2.7.

Thanks for the pics... Their photographers seem to pick the worst lighting. Looks like 2 different colors.

Edit: damn that squatch package looks good though. Even the top color looks pretty reasonable on there.

Agree! Definitely gotta get that ‘Squatch for the 4 door

Maybe, they had no choice, lighting wise?

Carbonized Gray top looking good on A51. Another color use baseheads can't get... I still blame Ford Marketing.

I assume so.

I cant believe I just sat here and read all 11 pages of this. It was an emotional roller coaster....I laughed, I cried, I got angry.... and now I just wish there was a B&P so we can all somehow debate the facts of it all.

Why can’t they make the MIC top the same color black as the roof rack? Is that hard to do? What’s keeping Ford from getting this top right? Anyone else feel the same? Dear Ford,
Please review color potential in MIC top production. The Bronco Nation community has repeatedly been outspoken on the quality and aesthetics of the proposed color and future disappointment in the product. Please take the time needed to see if more pigment is possible. An example in the hood hooks, fenders and the roof rack. Our eyes are clearly open and I would hope your ears are open to feedback.

Honest to god every time I see the CG now, all I think is how much more I want the A51 instead. CG used to be my favorite but it just doesn't look good to me now.

For everyone deciding on a color. Back to square one again.

Pmuch, yeah.

 

[Hemisfear]

Well, that one is. Remember, preproduction......

And different size tires! lol

Cactus Gray was my second choice, but I've been fairly settled on Cyber Orange for a while now. Of course, now that we're seeing what the Carbonized Gray MIC top will really look like, I'm starting to wonder if CG is the better choice.

That top looks good on CG, but it just stands out as not matching anything on the CO.

Of course, I'm going Badlands, and the anticipated interior trim for BL matches great with the CO exterior.

Sigh...
