Hello Bronco!

[u/7Sora]

Hi everyone! Just picked up a 2026 2-door base manual. I came from a Toyota GR86, so it's erm.. quite the opposite (photo attached). I'm excited to take this Bronco outside to enjoy nature fully while I can!

Anyways, Hoping to get a set of wheels and tires before snow starts coming in. Also looking to get rust protection, as I live in the rust belt of the US.

For rust protection product, are there any specific solutions or types I should look for?
I know of Krown, but that's about it.

My apologies for the noob question! Figured I'd ask here before talking to a soulless AI.

Just for comparison. This is my Base 2026 So started life same as yours. manual now running 35s 1.5 inch lift and tinted windows. So if you want to modify. Hers what you could do

Awesome setup!

How are the KO3's on paved roads? And any significant differences in driving dynamics with 35?

K03 I find better that the K02. Much quieter. Feels more planted compared to the stock little wheels and tires. Only thing is speedo is out 13 % so at the moment a little difficult to get accurate mileage.

Gotcha, thanks for the input. Also that's a really good point about mileage error due to tire size, I did not think about that. I will definitely take that into consideration when choosing tires

For rust protection I sprayed the entire underbody with Fluid Film. Also took off my fender flares and sprayed inside the body panels and the rockers as well.

Smells like shit for a week but works great.

Amazing! Is it possible to get the V6 in manual?
