Drove off the lot with a '22 Big Bend (Iconic Silver)!

[ChrisAyyy3]

I was in talks with my local dealership about a Big Bend in Cactus Gray that was in transit. I was disappointed when my sales rep said someone wanted it and drove up the price. I was able to negotiate a deal with this Iconic Silver one in the same package/trim that was on the lot for less than 24 hours!

Overall I'm super happy. Only thing I'm really missing out on is the tow package. I don't want to do do anything cutting related to the original parts just yet. Also trying to see if I can sell these Continentals for some All Terrains and then lift/level this later. Happy to have found this forum and great to see what everyone else is doing with their BS!

“Also trying to see if I can sell these Continentals for some All Terrains”
My factory Conti’s with the Bronc on the sidewall were horrible. At about 9,000 miles the hydroplaning was starting to get really bad.
At 12,000 they came off with only 4 and 5/32 tread left. I drove easy on them.
But my gravel and Georgia clay climbing up to my house was easy. This showed me how good the drive system is,
I wanted to keep all of its on road manners so I chose Yokohama’s newest AT, Geolandar G015’s in the 235 size to maintain my factory roll out as best I could. They have a snow rating.
The top choice here seems to be the Falkin Wildpeaks.
The Yokes are on both my Sport Ut’s only because I’ve had them on my beater for a couple of years now. I like to go with what I know.

I hope you weren't the one that caused the price increase!

Hopefully not, I went to Jersey village to get mine.

Iconic Silver looks great with the stock wheels and the cloth seats. Great combination.

Awesome. I wanted silver but the wife struck that down in favor of ox white.

You can add the towing package, if your hunt, for around the same price as factory installed. I added to mine for about $80 more than from the factory including the OEM bumper with TOW cutout, the trailer hitch and the towing wiring harness.

Both of you guys made great choices. I picked up my BB Area51 on Monday night! Because of the weather here I've only been able to put a hundred miles on her, but did drive in snow with the stock Conti's with no problem. I will be putting A/T's on soon. I'm considering Toyo Open Country lll's.

Had my car for 5 days before selling stocks for Wildpeak AT3Ws. 235/65/17 were $20 cheaper than the standard 225s. Open Country IIIs were over $200/tire at my Discount Tire.
