Wheels: American Racing AR172 in 17x8, 0 offset
Tires: BFG KO2s in 295/70R17
Stock ride height

The tires rubbed a little going forward at 90% lock, but rubbed a good bit in reverse at 60% lock. I removed the crash bars, so no more rub. I love how the wheels and tires completely change the look of it. I've always been a fan of this style wheel, especially after seeing it on some EBs. I'll have more modifications coming in the future, but my house's budget committee is about to meet and I'll have to restrain myself until I can save for future upgrades.

This thing is a blast to drive and I'm loving seeing it in the driveway each morning as I go to work. I've been driving a 2003 F-150 for a while now that's a basic as it gets (V6, manual locks, windows, 2WD). It's been a great reliable truck, but I'm happy to finally upgrade. First impressions are great so far. Road noise with the MIC is more than I imagined, but I've never owned a vehicle with a removable top of any kind before, so I had no baseline to compare it to. It's not bad, as I can have a normal volume conversation with my daughter in the backseat at 65mph. The 2.3L is perfectly adequate for this vehicle. It doesn't throw me in the back of my seat, although to be fair I'm still doing the break-in, but it doesn't feel sluggish. I think I'll put premium gas in my next tank and see if it feels any different. Ford says it produces more power with premium, but we'll see. A nice tune would really open this thing up, especially if it makes that boost available down low. The 7-speed is a lot of fun. I've had 3 vehicles since my last manual (2008 Mazdaspeed 3) and I'm so glad to get back to it. The clutch is well-balanced, not too light or heavy. I'd say it takes an appropriate amount of force to engage it.

The MGV is awesome. Love the feel and look of it. It seems to be very durable, but time will tell. The speakers do in fact suck in this vehicle. They sound thin and have next to no bass. My 2003 F-150's stock speakers sound way better and more full. I'll look to upgrade those first probably.

One thing I noticed when I took delivery is that there is already some honeycomb action going on with the MIC top. If that was the focus when Ford "fixed" the MIC, it's still an issue with MIC 2.0. I have a good bit on the driver side roof panel and some near the B-pillar on the passenger side. The dealership knows already so I'll monitor that situation. The only reason I think I have the MIC 2.0 is the delay after my blend date. I was "in production" for almost 3 months, so SURELY they were replacing my MIC with MIC 2.0, which didn't seem to fix the visual defect.

That's the only issue I've had so far *knocks on wood* and I look forward to driving this thing every day. I've gotten so many looks and compliments from random people. I had some Wrangler drivers give me the wave, but I of course ignored it. Looking forward to many many years in the Bronco family!

Here’s my Velocity Blue, 2.7L, BD, Non Sas, 2 Door.

After getting parole from Dirt Mountain Penitentiary I’m scrambling to get all my wrenching done while the weather is still decent!

- General Grabber X3s 295/70/17 (33.3”)
- 17X9 Bronze Fuel Shok with 1 offset
- No lift (but pulled out crash bars)
- Planned to do a 2” RC spacer lift but I might see how I like it at the factory ride height?
- Roof top tent to be installed (maybe this coming weekend?
- Front windows getting tint next week
- Oil spray next week.

… and a few other things done. Happy thanksgiving.

I also have an order for a Velocity Blue Badlands. How do you find the interior orange trim? That’s the one aspect of my build that I’m unhappy about considering I have no control over it.

Looks good. I have bronze Shoks on my truck - you can get bronze center caps from Fuel - PN 1003-46MBZ.

I have a VB Bronco coming (hopefully later this month) and was thinking of getting the same wheels on both my truck and Bronco, but that may be a bit much!

Adding our week-old Badlands to the roll call!! Blend date of 11/12, delivery date 11/27!! After a few hundred miles, I had to give it a proper wash and then see if it would fit in the garage - it barely fits, maybe 2" of clearance all around! Had to snap a pick next to the JK after getting both of them cleaned up. Our JK has 33's and a 2" lift for basis of comparison.

We are thrilled with the Velocity Blue choice. Have a few mods planned, but nothing too crazy. Hoping to pick up a new set of wheels/tires in the spring.
