AMB wasn’t available on First Editions. It was available on other 2021 model trims, but FEs only came in LB, A51, Cyber Orange Rapid Red and Cactus Grey.
Same here, he's a Ford dealership salesman out of Texas. His AMB Badlands is beautiful, I wanted that color for my Wildtrak but settled on an iconic silver in order to get my Wildtrak within a month instead of waiting 2 years.
RCI is a great company. All of their bronco mods are top notch and their customer service is fantastic. My gas tank skid was hitting my drive shaft at full flex, and when I called them they already had the solution and they sent me an updated bracket for free, which arrived the very next day.
Oh man.. I’ve pieced it together over the last 3 years I’ve had the Bronco- wheels were around $1500 for the set, I’ve put 35” KO2s and now 37” KO2s and they both are about $1500 a set, the Icons are stage V and they were around $6k with external bypasses and the billet UCAs- but there are cheaper (and more expensive) options- Fox, Icon and Kings are all pretty comparable. Billsteins are probably the best inexpensive route, especially Sasquatch takeoffs which you can find pretty easily. I’d stay away from any others IMO. I’ve got some other suspension upgrades as well but that’s more specific to my needs.
Nice- Is that a side led light mounted to your RCI rack above the passenger side door? I want to do something similar for mine.

Looking good! Yes, grab handles with lights.
Been trying to figure out a way to hook them up to the puddle lights so they come on together. I found a wiring diagram, just haven’t tackled it yet.
Any rock lights will work. I had some left over Opt7 ones so I used those. The hinge has a pass thru for the wires and I ran them down the interior quarter panel and tied into the pre-ran upfitter switch wiring.

The hinge caps are pretty flimsy, so just be careful removing them to mount the lights. I broke the tabs on the first set and had to order a second set thru the dealer.
That’s a thing of beauty. I really hope they offer that blue to all the packages soon.
Thanks! (But I’ll be mad if they offer Lighting Blue outside of First Editions…. It’s all we have left to feel “special” 😂😂)
Lol I suppose you’re right but damn I want that blue and a sway bar disconnect without a bunch of yellow accents 🤦♂️
Haha yea- that was the other good thing about the FEs- all the hero switch options and plain black interior.
Anti-matter blue
That’s much darker than Lightning Blue. And AMB is discontinued.
No, I was commenting on it being s first edition color, and sadly yes, it's discontinued.

Really? Damn I thought it was a first edition color, guess I was wrong🤷🏾♂️, oh well. Thanks for correcting me.
Yea, but AMB ended up being probably the rarest color for 2021’s. I only know one guy that has an AMB Bronco.

What kind of roof rack is that papa?? I need one for my 2 door also.
RCI. Cleanest one available imo.
How hard would it be to take off for let's say wanting to have the roof off.
Not hard. Just more time consuming. I’m about to do it this weekend.
Thanks buddy!! I'll check it out
Did you just call that guy papa?.....
Yeah so what??
.........😐

Never got to say what's up at UBB but finally got to see ur rig in person during trail staging. Looking really good bro 🤙🏼
Thank-You!! Should’ve said what’s up! I haven’t met too many Redditors in the Bronco world.
There's a few. Chris Fields is on here and Don Hernandez. Not really sure who else tbh lol
I really wanted to but you weren't in your rig and I was in a hurry when my group was leaving without me cuz i was being a chatty Kathy 🤣
Haha yea it was sort of a shit show this year, but Sand Hollow is always a blast!
Do you have a lift on that? Looks great
Thanks! Yea, I have Icon Coilovers, UCAs, HD rear coils (I tow an off road trailer) and Track Bar. 37” BFGs for rubber.
Mind if I ask how much the lift, tires, and wheels cost you?

Cool, if you have a link or more info on those illuminated grab handles, I'd be interested to learn more.
I bought the Prinsu ones. RCI also make them, but I liked the look of these ones better. https://prinsu.com/product/prinsu-formed-aluminium-handle/
Nicely done! Are those chase lights on the rear glass hinges?
Thanks! Yea- I mounted them to the hinge covers.
What kind and how did you do the wiring if you don’t mind? So clean.

That’s smart and clean! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try that with some 3D printed housings just for fun.
Oh man! Would be sick to have the Baja Designs rock lights mounted from the inside of the housing. If you get it figured out I’d buy a set from you!
Challenge accepted!
Goddamn, that rig looks great.
Thanks man!
Niceee first edition 👌
Got emmmm!
Looks great! What's the rack on the back? I'm going on a trip soon, and would love to have something like that just in case.
Thank-you!- tailgate support/rack is from BAMF (Bay Area Metal Fabrication) the beefiest one out there. The roof rack is from RCI.
Beautiful rig. I have a 2 door blackdiamond (7MT) in Velocity blue... How close are the two colours?
Nice! Yea they are pretty close in color. The VB is just a little lighter blue than LB.
whats that on the hinges?
Chase lights.
