Well to be honest, at least this owner is honest about how much off roading he is going to be doing with his Bronco. Meanwhile the other 90% of Bronco owners are busy hitting up the local Starbucks and Kroger parking lots.

I can only imagine how many sasquatch packaged broncos were ordered with no intention of utilization.

I ordered mine with none of the hard core off road stuff because I knew it would not be used that way. I liked the way they look an they did want I want my 4x4 to do. I occasionally drive across fields or drive a trail or two to hit a shooting spot or fishing hole. If I wanted something to hammer on trails or rock crawl there's no way I could do that in a $60K vehicle (before mods). I'd be using a $15-25K 4x4 that I wouldn't care about bashing a rocker panel on. Guess I'm not in that tax bracket.

The sasquatch package was pricey at $4,500 for my liking but the 35's look nice and you get front and rear lockers and a slight lift an 4.70 gears. I might pick up a set of Sasquatch take off wheels an put some 33's on them for the looks an the offset is different so they fill the wells better.

if you look closely at the mirror picture you can see the bubble or fish eye is showing a vehicle that is not showing at all in the normal mirror. so despite it looking out of place where folks normally put them it works. i always put them on the far bottom edge of the mirror until i drove a farm dually for a while that had them in the lower middle. shocked me how much more of the blind spot i could see without lose of the normal mirror range.

the guy in your mirror is probably really close to your peripheral vision, or at least seen with a quick shoulder check.

This snip isnt directed at you, but offered to all as a good way to adjust your mirrors for the best blind spot protection:

Been adjusting my mirrors that way since I learned to drive. Never needed a blind spot mirror or felt the need to always look at the rear quarter of my vehicle.

Saw two matching wranglers set up similar once ... interestingly the spare tire in the back was just the wheel/rim with no tire.

It's OK man it's not the worst sin. But still the first step is admitting the problem. Then you can begin to make amends to your poor side view mirror.
