No such thing as a dumb question.

No. The same way the A/C doesn't stop it unless it is on Max. I was referring to the current draw from the 12v outlet.

Got ya, I can make that happen also. Thanks for the info

Those that think that there are no stupid questions should really read through the Facebook pages. It's cancerous.

Dumb Question (because it’s been answered before, but I can’t find it using the search bar):

How much extra weight does the Sasquatch Package add to a trim? I know it differs based on which trim. But let’s say how much would it add to a Base Bronco? And how much would it add to a Badlands?

I think this is a good question and not clearly defined. So is it true that the sasquatch package has zero armor? Seems odd too add lockers and 35s but no armor. I'm really curious how much ford armor weighs on the BD and badlands and what quality/thickness it is. Is it better to get a BD squatch with armor or a base squatch and buy aftermarket armor for the cheapest off the shelf ready to go off-roader?

My other "dumb" question, is around the sway bar disco on an IFS vehicle. All the videos I've seen it used are on terrain that the bronco could easily handle without, many barely require 4WD. I need to see some real world performance and some Wrangler extreme terrain comparisons to see if it's worth the badlands money. If it was such a useful feature it seems like Ford would want to show it off and add it to the squatch package.

Cool idea for a thread...

Is the carpet on the MGV at least kinda waterproof, i.e., like an outdoor carpet? Or does it absorb and hold water? If you remove it, will it leave an open area that needs to be professionally upholstered?

Can someone confirm that the base or mid-package comes with a 12v DC socket (previously called cigarette lighter socket)?

Edit:

Before anyone asks any further questions, please review the new sticky thread.
The Mother-of-All Bronco FAQ's Thread

Great suggestion. I've read that post many times but there's so much there.

12v dc outlets on the center floor console and the passenger side cargo area.

I thought this would be a good time to start a thread about things you’re curious about, but don’t quite warrant a new thread.
...

How many "Questions that don’t deserve their own thread thread" threads do we need; seems like a good question.

Sounds like the memes from iFunny

That said, however we can remove ASS from our vehicles, we should.

This is real....

after driving a badlands in the off rodeo in Texas and what we did with just being in for low with the disco disengaged it makes a big difference.

As the instructor said it's all about using the available traction and we actually did climb rocks and hills and just having it disconnected made a big difference

It's also in talking to the instructors there who have come from professional offroading or off roading all their life all said 1st thing they do is hit the disco button as soon as they hit the trail

But of course YMMV....

Great question! Looks like that thread petered out about 10 months ago. It was a great candidate for a sticky but never achieved that level. As a relative newbie, I never ran across that one but will certainly reference it for new learnings.

I'm not a gun owner but that looks sweet. Probably can't even own one in NJ.

Hell in nj its probably illegal just to own a picture of it......

I personally was wondering about taking the doors in and off. I know that there’a two bolts you have to to remove before you can take the doors off.

How stable are they if I just never put the bolts back in?

Clearly no one has had a wrangler on here.

LOL! So true. I've spent most of the last year in Alaska, Missouri, and [the last six months in] Texas. Couldn't be more clear how backward the Northeast is on responsible gun ownership. There's been an upsurge in gun purchases and many of my friends have had to seek local 'references' just to get permission to purchase a small pistol. Meanwhile, a few miles away, my buddies in PA have arsenals that could entertain for days.

A couple of early posts infer that Jeep owners remove their bolts in the spring and install them in the fall. Nice! We'll need a third-party kit to afford that benefit, or we'll be rebolting our doors between rides.

The videos I've seen were pretty mild trails and it would have done fine without a disco. No doubt it adds a little comfort and is a nice to have feature but I'm looking for performance for the badlands price. Will a badlands go where a base squatch can't? For a jeep Rubicon compared to a sport the answer is yes. For a bronco it's TBD, in my mind.
