We took our new BD Bronco off-road for the first time yesterday. Wow! I’m really impressed with the ride and handling! It was a blast to race over the rough desert roads and through the mud holes.

What size tires did you add? And did you mod anything else? Or is this a stock BD???

She’s stock other than the wheels and tires. They’re LT285/70R17s.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for the info.
Thanks, it's a great compromise for those who don't want SAS. Still looks agressive but handles better and can get through carwashes that SAS tires are slightly too wide to fit in the track.

Awesome! Initial impressions?
it's awesome. I got the 2.3 and it's got plenty of get up and go.

Rides smooth. Handles well. And it's much bigger than expected. I've only seen squatched or Badlands during their roadshow last winter/spring. So wasn't sure how the BD was going to look, and I'm not disappointed at all. Tires/wheels look great. I thought of upsizing to 33's... but at least for me, no reason to. They look plenty awesome as is.

Something about the position of the drivers seat, I just feel 'in control'. Hard to explain I guess, but just has a great, like above the rest, feel. Could also be because I'm driving around in car no one else has too, hahaha.

Love the MGV. Time will tell, but my initial impressions was it's awesome and will definitely hold up against my kids and dog.

I hate to say this, because so far I love it. But I did notice the speakers are pretty... well, not great. When listening at low volume they're fine, but once you crank it up a bit, ugh. You can notice they're not great. Maybe I can play with the settings a bit, but first impression wasn't positive. I heard others mention this, and I'm not really a huge speaker/audio guy, so didn't think I'd care. But unfortunately I can definitely tell. I'm now actually giving thought to upgrading, whereas before it wasn't a consideration.

Unseasonably, supposed to touch high 60's here today... may have to bring the top down!

Oh, and am totally loving the Catcus Gray. So much better in person than those photos that show it a bit minty. I don't see that at all in person.
