Thar She Blows. Base 2-door delivered and now wearing bronze Method wheels

[Lord Bronco]

@the poacher and @_finack

Pull the headrest off and reverse it. I just did so to make a little room for my hat brim and keep the headrest from crowding me in general. Bam.

Everyone, meet sea biscuit.


J/k, I'm not naming my Bronco.

But if I did I would call her Agatha.

EDIT:

Reserved 7/13/20 @ 820PM PST.

Confirmed as a MT SAS Badlands 3/1/20, then told my22 (no), converted to base MT, mod bumper, switches, and floor liners (sort of flimsy/notweathertechs/~$150 is just fair) on 3/18/20. Production initially week of 6/28 then late bump to 7/19. Found window sticker 2 weeks early 7/5 or so. In Production email 7/19, built email 7/20, shipped email 7/21, estimated delivery via rail 8/7-8/13.

The bronze wheels look a bit much in full sun but I'm pretty happy with the combo from most angles. Also forgot to tell dealer to hold the tire dressing

Also feel like I nailed the poke I was looking for with +35 offset Method wheels on 285/70r17 - tread all but contained with just the sidewall swells pushing out.

More pics suitable pics and plenty of tinkering ahead. Looking like ARB twin compressor will be first big spend, followed by rear locker sometime after.

For now all I can say is the fixed forward tilt headrests are a grand failure (?!?!?!) May soon be trying to keep the chrome on the pins intact while cranking on them in the vise!

I truly feel for y'all in purgatory or plain in the dark! But we're one more closer to your deliveries now!

Sweet I enjoy these type of threads so much more

Very nice build!!! You sold me on the +35 offset with 33s. Perfect amount of poke. Now I wait patiently for mine……

Great look. What size are the wheels? Stock suspension?

Sea Biscuit for the win!

Nice!! Curious, what original date did it arrive at the dealer? How close was it to the estimated arrival?

I’m waiting for mine in Carson City, it shipped last week. Thanks!

Bronze/gold rims seems to be all the rage these days. I might do it too. LOL we'll see. I have a good feel thanks to this post how that might look on mine. Although I do like the stealth look. Maybe I just keep everything black or grey on the rims.

Does this mean black / gray will be on sale?

Head rest design has really made brimmed hats a challenge, which is a problem for me.

Was going to change my base from Carbonized to Iconic but damn this looks good. I need to see a 2 door in Iconic before I can pull the trigger.
