Two weeks later… how’s it looking now?

Nearly two weeks in, and I’ve made my Big Bend my own. Added new tires—Falken Wildpeak AT4s, size 285/75/17—on stock rims. Installed a bug deflector from Ford and a Hooke Road shorty roof rack. Oh, and the doggo stickers are on, just so everyone knows how much fur is riding along inside!



Some folks don’t realize how much tires can change a car’s look and feel. Yours looks great.

Totally agree. Tires are probably one of the most important parts of a vehicle in my opinion.

Nice bug deflector. I just got the same one on mine.

Thanks! I’m liking it too. Hoping it helps with rock chips.

My dog doesn’t like car rides anymore, so she stays in her crate with her cozy bed. I fold the seats down and strap the crate in—total luxury for her.

The best part of this is finding another Bronco and Corgi owner! :wave:

Do you have a little booster seat for your corgi so they can stick their head out the window? :rofl:

How are you liking it so far?

It’s easily my favorite car. I’m super happy with it.

That’s great to hear!

I did the same upgrade and added a 1-inch leveling lift to the front. Totally changed the look.

Did you add a lift? Is it Sasquatch or no?

No lift, no Sasquatch. I did take the crash bars off in case I go bigger next time. It’s just a stock Big Bend with the mid package.

Looks good!

You should add some wheel spacers to push the wheels out a bit. :ok_hand:

I really like the Big Bend snowflake wheels.

I’m worried about flinging rocks though.
