I think the non Sas Badlands is the perfect Bronco. But if you plan on getting 35s or 37s anyway you might as well bet the Sas for the little extra lift and gearing. If you intend on lifting and regearing yourself, get the non Sas.
If everything is working as it should nothing in the transmission turns. The output shaft of the transfer case does, the rear (and in some cases front) differential, axle shafts and wheel bearings do. So if you really watch things service interval for transfer case and differential lube would...
First, Gen 1 gauge clusters totally sucked, nicely labeled gauges totally unusable while underway.
And since they did this for the Mustang, there is hope. Give us a digital dial tach to the right. Digital speedo center with no bar graph surrounded by four digital dial gages of our choosing.
Just guessing, but I'd bet the first owner modified it up, maybe a winch or bumper, ditch lights (still there), emblems, tires? , wheels? and then stripped it back down to trade. 29 day owner may have been a broker or other dealer.
Yep, thought I'd hate them but I like it! I used to seldom use high beams, in my semi rural urban environment I was always having to switch. Now the Bronco does it for me. I do wish they'd stay on below 30 mph to help see deer in my driveway though.
My folks got me a set of Power Craft tools. Montgomery Wards lifetime guarantee tools. I don't think I ever broke one, good thing since I can't find a Wards store. I still have them.
It might be an option for those of us with 4.27s, or 3.73s. If I knew how to set up gears the cost might be OK. But then I'd constantly fret over what was going to break first, my axle or steering rack.
