That third brake light looks pretty snug above a 30”, when every other trim is 32”+. Think it’s height is adjustable?
That's about exactly opposite of what I was thinking.
They left plenty of room to grow on the Base brake light as opposed to the others.
One of the tech reps had said it was not adjustable... I still wonder about that though.

It looks a sweet ride.. larger AT's and you're set. Have to say the 4 door soft-top always seems to look kinda ill-fitting.. Every one seems to have a rear quarter window that's sagging and this one seems to have poor fit of the canvas roof edge too.

Gorgeous! Believe it or not there are advantages to smaller wheels. Less unsprung weight, better ride and handling and much easier to handle when removing wheels. The base is way underrated in my opinion and probably will be the volume seller when lots and full of Broncos. Another advantage is you don't have that giant heavy wheel on the tailgate.

Has there been any mention as to why the Base Models appear to have a ton of front rake compared to other models? I'm assuming the suspension components are the same, it just seems odd how much lower the front sits.

Base looks good, has the classic look of Bronco I think thats what we are seeing when we say it looks "surprisingly good" and "proportional". Old school off roaders never had monster rubber, in my mind there is an aesthetic space for big tires but these base broncos look pretty good. With that being said im probably going with 33s on my base.

I'd be ordering a standard base model if they had just given us the option for lockers as a stand alone. I actually prefer the steelies over any other wheel offered, and would be happy with some 33's if I could just get lockers or even had the option to install lunchbox lockers.
Instead, I get to fork out another 5 grand for a bunch of shit I can live without. Oh well. The Bilsteins seem pretty cool, and selectable lockers aren't cheap, and I don't mind 35's until they wear out and I can replace them with 33's.
BaseManSquatch 2 door will be cool and still cheaper than a Rubicon or 4Runner.

Couldn’t agree more. This has me questioning my 4-door base squatch order, but I want the rear lockers.

Jeeps look the same with a soft top:

I think it looks pretty good with the steelies. Wonder if you could just get a bigger tire (more sidewall) with the same rims - I think that would look pretty nice.
Google 255/85x16 lots of good ones that should fit

Seeing these pictures makes me think that 265/75/16 or 235/85/16 would like really good. Now the struggle is......do I really need the components of the Sasquatch package???
I have 235/85 x16 on my 05 Rubicon, perform well. But, I discovered 255/85x16 while drooling over Broncos, even better. Half inch wider, inch taller.
