I'm impressed. Nicely accessorized. There's still that matter of ground clearance, though.

Thank you! Just did an off-road course with 24 full sized broncos and managed to keep up/not get stuck. Lift and AT tires really helped. I’ve got enough ground clearance to get by. I don’t plan on doing any crazy rock crawling.

Wow that is one bada$$ sport. Looks like you are using it as the Bronco Gods intended. And having fun doing so. Glad to see it getting dirty. And a sport is no slouch on the trails. It is all about picking the right lines for you.

Confession time: I'm guilty of Big Bronco + gear snobbery. Derisive opinions about "mall crawlers," etc. You compel to a major readjustment. Lesson being, "Never judge a book by the cover," all that. The issue is: buy the vehicle you like (and can afford), and fix it up the way you like.
I had a nice chat with a guy at the carwash just this morning, as we wiped down and detailed our trucks. He had what sure looked like a mall crawler: roof and ditch lights, bull rail on bumper, high lift Tacoma sitting on 31-inch street tires. I asked him if he ever went off-roading. "I used to," he said. "Can't now." Long story short, he'd love to mount some 35-inchers, but current circumstances work against that. Nice guy, takes his truck seriously.
Great looking rig there, BadOverland!

absolutely awesome. love the way it looks and how you've built it for your needs, and it looks very functional. there are plenty of people who talk trash on the Sport, which is unfortunate - they are capable vehicles, and more than what most people will end up needing. I got to see one in action several months back when our Bronco group had an event at the local OHV park during a torrential rain storm, and the place was one big mud pit... there was a woman driving her Sport behind me and I was keeping an eye out in case I needed to stop to help her through the muck .. I never needed to.

Great looking Bronco Sport, @BadOverland. I'm excited to see the nudge bar on it too. Looks like it was a fun drive with all those other Broncos for sure.

Thank you for the heartfelt message. Trust me, if I could afford the Big Bronco, I would’ve gone for it. However, at $32,000 on a blue collar salary is all I could muster. I’ll get my big bronco eventually. 🤙🏼

Don’t worry, I’ll send pics of the nudge bar installed 🤙🏼

I was absolutely worried I was going to get stuck amongst the big boys. I didn’t get stuck once thankfully. It’s obviously not a monster of an off-roader, but it gets the job done as an entry-level off-roader. I’ve met some amazing people along the way.

Beautiful! Tastefully and cohesively appointed Bronco Sport you've got there. Thanks for sharing. Definitely food for thought for many! Love the graphics applied to the lower doors in particular. 😍

Very nice! Congratulations!

I'm new to the Bronco Sport world and to the forum. I've just taken delivery of one in Brazil and looking to eventually get to something resembling yours!

First step is a lift and wheel and tire swap. We have limited options for wheels down here - and all I can seem to find are 17x8 ET38. I'm assuming these would rub but would be interested to know if anyone has tried it.

Thanks
