Ultimate Black Diamond Non-Sasquatch pics thread

Does anyone know what the height of a stock BD (stock 17' steelies and stock 32's) with the soft-top in the first position (half-way down without taking the windows off) is? I'm in and out of parking garages often and want to have the top down without taking it all the way down since the weather here in FL is sunny one minute and raining the next.

I measured the little “points“ of the soft top, folded back to position 1, and I’m getting about 6’ 10-3/8”, so I would want a minimum of 7’ of clearance. Even then, it would be nerve wracking…

Thank you! One of the ones I park in has a clearance of 6’10 so I guess I’ll just have to either put it all the way down or leave it on.

Yeah, definitely wouldn’t go in there with top back!

Here's a picture of the 255/80r17 Cooper ST Maxx after hitting some dirt roads. It shows how the tread pattern looks.

Thank you! somehow missed this. It looks awesome. Did you end up lifting it at all or leaving it there? My bronco is getting built later this month

I left it alone for now. Great tire size for a stock Black diamond. Fills out the wheel wells nicely and didn't notice a drop in power. Thinking I might do a small lift and 35's sometime in the future. This will be my winter set up for sure.

nice, i will be likely rocking the stock tires for a few years or until the itch gets me

this will be about the perfect size for me.

I keep my rear windows out most of the time. You can quickly put the top up or down in a matter of seconds. I have jumped out at a red light and put the top up with plenty of time. Than after you enter and park you can put the windows in if you want extra security. After you have installed/removed the windows a couple times it's really quick.

1 amp for the aftermarket speakers 1 for the sub. I honestly don't know what speakers my guy put in there but the system sounds fantastic. More bass than I would ever need.

I agree! Those are the future plans now once the stock grabbers are worn out.

We had 8K on the Grabbers, but I ended up selling them to my nephew to put on his 4Runner, so that took a little bit of the sting out of the new tires…
