What's funny, is I really like the headlights on our Bronco, and they're very similar to Jeep headlights. These meme's of crazy eyes don't make a lick of sense.
It's because the broncos headlights are where the jeeps fender drls are and the center looks like a mouth giving it an ultra wide smooshed face appearance. The jeep body being much narrower and the headlights mounted up higher and inboard looks way more proportionate.

Different body widths, yes, but our (JTs) DRLs are directly over the tires on stock wheels. The Bronco headlights are wider apart, but not where our fenders would be.

The edge of the bronco headlight is in the center of the tire, the jeeps are inboard of them completely center to center they arent the same, but the bronco headlights definitely occupy most of the same space as our DRL's which with tucked tires and small flares then makes them seem waaaay too far apart and low compared to the rest of the vehicle proportions. The visual is greatly improved on wider stanced broncos with bigger tires as it makes the headlights feel less pushed apart and not so low compared to the front of the truck. Non-sasquatch though, its pure catfish.

I also dont actually like the look of stock jeeps on narrow street tires either, gives me the skipped leg day/sad rental vibe. The jl/jt were clearly designed around 35's with 33's as the sport offering, but then for CAFE, cost savings, and tow ratings they dumped narrow 31's that just look oddly small.

I'm on the same page with you, being that I don't like the look of stock Jeeps. Especially the stock wheel/tire/suspension Jeeps that look like someone's Amazon cart full of stick on accessories and LED lights, threw up on it. That "skipped leg day" look drives me nuts on any 4wd vehicle, and it's a little worse on the high Jeep fenders.

The first thing I told my wife is "those tires gotta go and this rig needs a lift...." She wants to wear out the stock tires and then make that decision ?. It's her ride, so she get's to pick. I was just happy she decided to move on from small 2 door cars...

Not sure what you mean by price protection, Hilbish hasn't marked any up yet from what I've seen from talking to the 4 that I know for sure bought from them. They guaranteed me other than destination, taxes, tag a title, I would pay the price that I built it for. They have always been a great local dealer to deal with. Been doing it since the 50's and 3 gens later still running it. I got no reason to believe they will not do what they say. Every dealer isn't marking them up. I actually had considered this one. Not far from what you can build one for.

I think you'll like this 2021 Ford Bronco I found at CarMax https://www.carmax.com/car/21577370
If you made any changes to the trim level, option packages, number of doors or 4x4 system after March 7th your final price will go up to current prices. That's why Ford wanted everyone to have their orders in place by March 7th. If you did your price is protected at what they were before the most recent price hike.

Ok, Not sure how much the price hike was or is, seems to be pretty much the same as when we looked back in March. We built our 2 door for $44,200, that's seems pretty close to what it was in March. I could be wrong though. I'll also get X plan pricing and my company incentives off of it once delivered which should knock it down to around $40,500.

Since there’s plenty of Bronco vs Gladiator posts, I snapped this pic when my wife got home, for fun. Her pretty damn near stock Bronco 2 door in the driveway with my JTR. To be fair, the JT is probably 4-5 inches higher than the Bronco, but the driveway slopes down. They both live at the same house, don’t argue, and do their jobs very well. They’re very different from one another, but we like them equally ?
