Our Badlands

[Rockdawg84]

My bronco was originally tuned to the BFG 285 tires. So I had to recalibrate my tire circumference to achieve the proper shift points with 37 inch tires. My speedometer is spot on

Did you do that with forscan or did the dealership do it for you?

Forscan, dealership wanted $199 per hour to service. I also deleted the double honk when the cars running and you walk away and auto stop start.

I hate the Ford double-honk on walk away while running. What in the world was/is the point of that... I removed it from my Fusion and my wife's Expedition. I just don't understand it's usefulness - other than annoy me.

Nice I'm about to do the same. Just put 37 Micky Thompson Baja Boss MT's on and Love them. I plan to also add sport mode, and I hate the double honk lol. Did you have any issues writing the new size since it is over 35's I've read that many are having issues?

Well, I’m sure there’s people who exit the vehicle and walk away, forgetting to turn the vehicle off. As stupid as that may seem, it happens.

it took me two tries to match the circumference and the speedometer on the highway. If I remember correctly I was about 3 mph off and then adjusted the tire size down and I’m within 1 mph now.

Some pics of my progress since receiving my Badlands on Oct 29th:

RPG upper arms
RPG lower links
King shocks
Foutz Diff cover
Kc lights (9) all wired to AUX 10amp switches We are saving the 15 and 30 amp for next phase
37” KO2
Bronco factory “carbon fiber “ fenders
Oricle “BRONCO” led grill lights

I think that’s it.

Haha we couldn't agree more, luckily I only have 3 daughters. We are blessed to have really fun softball families that enjoy camping. Doors off is a blast, summer will be epic.

Any upgrade to the spare tire carrier or 3rd brake light?

I originally purchased the spare tire offset from rough country, didn’t need it. It pushed the tire way off the door, ultimately I didn’t like that. It is actually not needed for the 37” to fit.
3rd brake light extension was needed to clear tire.

don't see it on their site. can you please share the link?

I can assure you I purchased it from them. Within minutes of clicking the buy now button they had called me to confirm what kind of lights I was going to use in the pockets. Kc, Baja designs or whatever manufacture they need to know before they shipped it

Nice looking build. I have badlands sasquatch and am trying to color match the orange in the badlands badge (for the tow rings and beauty rings). What did ya use to paint your tow rings orange?

 

[Bajaluv]

They were purchased off Amazon, they came orange. The color has quickly faded from the sun, so I replaced them with flat black.

Thanks !!
The king shocks are great, I would’ve preferred Fox but availability is unknown. On road it’s a tad bit firmer but off-road they do great. The diff protection was a nice upgrade, beefy.

Just curious, why the preference on fox?
