The OP’s Sasquatch wheels in white are a way better look than the factory Heritage wheels.

Ha! My mistake. I tagged the wrong comment. But yeah, I’m considering wrapping the flares in white

I've been back and forth on this one. I've seen a few tributes with the round flares painted white and I'm not feelin' it. Copperhorse73 mentioned the KBD flares. I'm thinking that may be the ticket - paint them with the autoflex gloss white paint. If it looks like too much we can be peel the paint off and have them painted AMB to match the body.
Also, when the tires need replaced. We'll probably go for the raised white letter BFGs

I've seen this one. Looks great in that color. We're considering the trail site caps as well. Are these the ones from Amazon? Also, love that you kept the OBX badges. I considered removing them or relocating them to the front of the fender. Wife wasn't having it. lol.I’ve posted in a few threads but to save you the trouble…

This is a factory color offered for MY21 only - Antimatter Blue. When we decided to do our own Heritage tribute, I was only looking at three colors - race red, rapid red or antimatter blue.
As soon as folks started painting or wrapping their MIC tops I have been waiting to see how they hold up. When the Broncos first had the build and price page, I was interested in the MOD top. Since it never became a reality and I went two door the MIC was it. Recently I had the ability to see, touch and operate the MOD top on a Heritage Limited. The MOD top seems leaps and bounds better.

Yes, sir - they are the amazon trail sight covers. They seem pretty durable so far.

Tell us more about the 70 !As soon as folks started painting or wrapping their MIC tops I have been waiting to see how they hold up. When the Broncos first had the build and price page, I was interested in the MOD top. Since it never became a reality and I went two door the MIC was it. Recently I had the ability to see, touch and operate the MOD top on a Heritage Limited. The MOD top seems leaps and bounds better.
Owned it since 1978. 351W, original, FMX auto, AC,PS,PB disc, intermittent wipers. All factory.
That is a gorgeous Bronco, Mark!Some back story... I reserved a Wildtrak in Sept2020 and proceeded to wait until Jan2023 for delivery. I had originally ordered a '21 Wildtrak (4dr AMB lux leather w/ dual tops) in Feb2021. I ended up with a '22 Wildtrak (EG 4dr lux leather hardtop) built during the last week of MY22 production. After a few drives, my wife more or less commandeered my Bronco.
After a few discussions we decided we would order a 2dr heritage for her. Unfortunately, we missed the order window by a few days. But the dealer offered us an unclaimed 2dr Heritage Limited for MSRP. I slapped $500 down on it that day. They provided the order number and VIN so I could track the build. Their dealer allocation was confirmed by Ford on 3/6. I've watched the build week slip 4 or 5 times and is now scheduled for the week of 11/6, which I'm pretty sure isn't happening considering the UAW strike.
I offered the wife plan B - buy a used Bronco and give it the heritage treatment. Within days I found a '21 OuterBanks (2dr lux 2.7 SAS) in AMB - the color of my original order. Her first choice was Red, but then I showed her the Jay Leno Bronco. She was all in.
We used a local ppf/tint shop to coordinate the transformation and ensure the whites matched. A major point for me was to pull together elements of the factory look - SAS wheels, OEM grill, heritage pinstripe. I’m not sure how I feel about the plastic inside the grill slats being painted. My wife is indifferent about it. I may try the black or possibly white inserts Amazon has. Or just peel the autoflex paint off of those parts.
$5290 all in for the white-out; saved $17k vs. the HEL
-Top and grill painted with gloss white autoflex paint which can be peeled off - $1750
-All 5 SAS wheels powder coated gloss white - $800
-Heritage inspired pinstripe - $200
-PPF (all exterior factory paint) - $2500
-White antenna from Amazon - $20
-White Bronco badge for tailgate from Amazon - $20
Some bonus coverage. The tint shop we used talks about it at the 3:57 mark
My wife absolutely loves it. It's almost as beautiful as she is. Our new dilemma will be when the HEL shows up; I haven't cancelled my deposit yet.
We're so happy to hear your wife loves her new vehicle. Thank you for sharing and for being part of the Ford family!
Cool,I have had my 66 since 83. Original GT 4 spd pony interior.Owned it since 1978. 351W, original, FMX auto, AC,PS,PB disc, intermittent wipers. All factory.
