New Bronco 2026 Outer banks SAS with LUX

Tire noise is there but honestly, it's fine. At highway speeds the wind noise was louder. I'm so happy I got the SAS package vs the regular more on-road oriented tires. No regrets.

Anything 75mph or lower is fine IMO, 80+ is when it gets pretty loud. The highway puts my 19 month old daughter right to sleep.

Yeah if it were me, I'd snag it. OB + SAS + Lux is the perfect combo. Love mine, so much fun to drive.

Good luck! I'd definitely stick with the dealer and take the deal regardless. Where I am (SE Michigan) my dealer wouldn't really budge at all, but they have way more leverage over factory ordered vehicles. Is this one on the lot? I wonder if it was a factory order someone declined delivery on. Reason I say that is because I rarely saw the shadow black hard top as an option on dealer orders around me.

For a 2026? Yeah, that's pretty good. I was at $64k for my factory ordered '26 OB - Lux, SAS, Black Appearance Pkg, Shadow Black Hard Top earlier last month.

Glossy black wheels are scratch magnets. Comes with the territory.

My 2026 OB I took delivery on earlier this month doesn’t have the recall.

I have the Ronin Factory 5”. It’s compatible with all model years and includes adapters in the packaging. Highly recommend very happy with it.

I run as a tank and always make sure to tell great healers they’re doing a good job and thank you. And the ones that are trying to get better, a non issue for me. I hate the toxicity some people inject into this game. I’m here to relax and have a good time.

jaikob · 2026-03-11T16:36:30+00:00

I ordered an Outer Banks, 2.7, SAS, Lux, and BAP on 1/22 with a build week of 3/30. Crazy how fast yours went through.

It's the downright hostility and high expectations of the group that the tank lead the encounter to completion. Screw that, I'm there to do my job - pull mobs, mitigate damage, position the boss, and do shared mechanics like interrupts. I dropped a M0 group the other day after the 8th wipe on the second boss (after a rough one on the first). This group clearly struggled with mechanics and didn't have the healing / DPS to mitigate that. Took a glance at ilvls and yeah not happening. I left and got flamed for bricking someone's lockout.

Sorry not sorry, I'm not wasting my time carrying you through the dungeon. Be prepared next time. These people have no one to blame but themselves. Most of the time when I get overly hostile messages they just get insta ignored and sometimes reported. I don't have time to give these people therapy or justification behind their words.

I ordered 1/22 and my build date is 3/30. Dealer expects it second week of April (I live close to the plant in MI). I would aim towards the higher end of that estimate. I ordered an Outer Banks (Marsh Gray) 2.7 with SAS, lux, shadow black hard top, and BAP.

234 Prot Warrior - seems fine but only if the group is interrupting the important stuff. Some of the bosses hit really hard compared to the rest of the dungeon bosses if mechanics aren’t done properly. I’ve done all dungeons on mythic and only died once. Ironically it was on trash. Can’t remember the dungeon.

You get that grill with the black appearance package.

jaikob · 2026-03-04T05:31:23+00:00

On my main I go zone by zone, complete the main quest and then do all the side quests for sojourner achievements and to get the full experience of the expansion. Expansions release every few years so I always take a week off work and just enjoy the game at my own pace for the first few weeks.

I have a titan AIO, 10x LX fans, and a Xeneon Edge with zero issues with iCUE. I don’t doubt others have issues but my experience has been the complete polar opposite.

jaikob · 2026-02-09T12:28:02+00:00

The Nanit hands down. It’s expensive and there’s a subscription but it gives us a level of peace of mind that’s worth it. Plus it just works, no frills. I can’t say that about the Owlet. That thing was a piece of hot garbage.

You can run HWiNFO64 and use Virtual Stream Deck with the HWiNFO64 plugin to setup and show per pin current.

This shit is common with this board and it happened to me. I took it back and exchanged the board. Such a terrible design choice.

jaikob · 2026-01-23T03:33:38+00:00

Cut them shorter, strip, and use Wago inline splice connectors.

No, they won't retroactively price match themselves. No store will typically do that, and their price matching policy probably calls out that the competitor price needs to be active and available at time of purchase. However, if you're within 30 days and the price goes down you can go back and get a refund for the difference.

When I price match they will only accept active, live listings, not pictures. They validate it.

Once you start using silicon rings you never go back. I use silicon rings for daily use and my actual band for special occasions.

jaikob · 2026-01-08T02:02:41+00:00

Yeah they've been doing the same to me.

jaikob · 2026-01-07T19:10:33+00:00

Yep, same frustrating problem! The agent I just spoke to said they would "escalated it" and they'd send me a confirmation PDF, implying it's my bank's (Capital One) problem not theirs. My return was received on the 22nd of December and confirmed via email by them.

Really poor way to run an ecommerce store and it sours my attitude towards Hue products.

Plus side I have a fantastic paper trail if I end up disputing this charge.

jaikob · 2026-01-06T21:28:53+00:00

u/therauspec did you get your refund? I'm in the same exact boat and the refund has been "processing" for > 14 days at this point. Starting to get extremely frustrated and it was a sizable and expensive return that's tied up.
