Any pics of it installed?

+1 for dealer paints. They are more money but you know they’re the right color, albeit a bit thick. Applicators are garbage (but...

I also have this problem. A disconnect/reconnect of the phone to car play fixes it. But it is rather annoying

140 hp, 3 speed trans, 4000lbs...0-60 in 5-7 business days.

A standard Badlands with 33s will get you a long ways. I did the Bronco Off-Rodeo this past Friday, and there was one standard Badlands...

Similar. Both Bilstein ESCV shocks, but the Sasquatch Bilsteins have a longer bump stop to prevent the 315's from contacting the...

Incorrect. The 24 Badlands NON SAS includes the 3.0 steering rack. Sounds like you are not a fan of modding your vehicles LOL.

24 BL non sas owner here. A “too harsh” ride is subjective. I came from a civic Si which was incredibly stiff, so the Bronco feels like...

Same dilemma here and I realized that a Badlands is built the way it is for a reason. If youre going to Sasq, then consider a cheaper...

It’s no consolation, but that’s the first I’ve seen something like this on a new vehicle. I wouldn’t be surprised if it were used for...

At the 9min mark shows what's under the factory flooring.

This. Automotive soap is generally mild and it doesn’t seem to need any further care than this.

I just wash it. Same soap and mitt as the rest of the Bronco. Then I dry it. That's it. 🍻

Not 100% sure but I think the factory washout floor also has some type of fiber backing material as well.

Looks like the fit is good. He says in the video the factory washout floor “is garbage” but lists no actual complaints. I wonder what...

Easy peasy. Depending how it was done you may need to buy a few things. A shop should charge about the same as putting on a lift.

Updated again today 4/20…went back to “Order Confirmed.” Just got done with Ford Chat...I officially have a train car number! The wait...

there are some interior changes. I believe rear cup holders and the dash stitching. As for mechanical, as stated earlier the upgraded...

My wife refers to them as the “Bronco Squirt”

I also make sure to park next to Bronco Sports.... to assert dominance among the herd.

The analog gauge is such a waste of space. Driving with my left hand on the top of the wheel blocks it from my view anyway. I just...

24 badlands. I have it too. Figured it was just like that.

Built -> shipped: 24 hours Shipped -> rail yard (in AZ): 11 days Rail yard -> dealer: 3 days (arrived on a weekend) Dealer to me -> 24 hours

And here I was hoping for some cool Atreides or Fremen flags :crazy:

Finally.

I know there is a lot of criticism surrounding wet belt for the oil pump. Have there been any actual failures observed?

I went with the 2.7. The 2.3 is a fine engine and gearing makes it move this massive brick quite well. My only real criticism of it is...

Just made it!

I had this happen yesterday but on the driver rear driver side. For some reason my window got out of alignment. If you were to open the...

I definitely feel this. My family has owned many, many Ford products, all lemons. Two mustangs, a mercury Capri, a jaguar X type, and...

I have about 7 inches of clearance getting in even with Rack on. I don't think I can get in once tent is on though. I bought the Raket...

this was actually my concern as well. I ended up sacking the SAS package on my order in hopes I had a better chance of it getting built...

I am enjoying it so much. Can't believe it's mine. I've just about got it ready for Overlanding trip next week. Hope to get tent on...

@malpais - Driver's side towards the rear on the upper side. It looks like a large nut. @malpais (a quick edit): Here is the level...

There is a dipstick, it is just only accessible right by the transmission. I forgot what side it is on. Check owners manual for the...

This may be a dumb Q, but is the automatic transmission sealed in the Bronco? I noticed I don’t have a transmission dipstick like some...

Believe it or not all my local credit unions were north of 7% for 60 months, many over 8. This is with excellent credit. Surprisingly...

It’s OFFICIAL official now. Going to pick her up on Saturday!

This just happened! I think I can officially, and finally, say “soon!”

Finally! My dealer called me before the tracker was even updated.

Chemical Guys VRP. Great for all interior and exterior applications, no greasy residue, kind of a satiny shine, and it lasts. I bought...

Did you have to drill the body to install hood struts?

Another +1 for MGV. I’ve not owned mine for very long but they do feel very durable and are super easy to clean. I actually wanted...

I learned this the hard way last weekend. Hit a mud hole out in northern AZ. Wasn’t even that bad but the rocky mud was on literally...

It’s lots of fun, until you need to clean it.

Woah…. Built.. that’s a new one.

I run 91 and have been for 2k miles but that is only because 93 isn't readily available in AZ otherwise I'd be using 93.

I bought this one from Amazon. It comes in a pack of two. I can sit in the drivers seat w it in the pouch and it says “no key detected”

I got the "built" email and i got a "waiting to ship" email. But after that it was nothing. I was tracking the train so I knew where it...

I like this version
