What about you? If you could go back to that moment, what would you change? Fewer mods, or a different build entirely? Would you do it all the same, or maybe skip the Bronco altogether? (Probably not, right? lol)

I would test drive a manual and look at other trims. I kind of rushed mine because it was one of two on the lot at the discounted rate. I wound up with a shadow black base but they had a big bend that was either marsh grey or that really pale blue.

I think I would have just got a 2dr base 2.7 with switches and no Sasquatch…swapped in a 60 rear and ultra front with 5.38s., real off road coilovers, suspension, bumpers, sliders.& skids along with 37s and all the other stuff I’ve done….the only thing worth keeping on the Sasquatch package is the advanced transfer but I wouldn’t much miss it (maybe Atlas will make a twin stick)…I don’t have any desire for the extra “creature comforts” (problems) or plastic seats of the higher trims…

I'll be the first to say it, would not have bought a MIC top. Probably would have bought a lower trim level as well, as much as I love how the Badlands w/ Sasquatch looks- I will never use it to its full potential. Maybe even looked at a 2 door.

I would have Saved more money to afford buying a Badlands. Settled on a Big Bend with extras due to price.

I still love it. Now i’ve made it my own version with upgrades.

Being retired on a fixed income makes it tougher to cough up more money. 🙄😂

Nothing at the time . However, since now the disconnect bar is an option on the Badlands I would have nixed the disconnect and applied the savings to a black painted top.

I didn’t realize how much i would love this vehicle. I bought a black 2 door big bend in 2024 which was considered a base version that year. I would have spent an extra $15k and bought a 2 door red heritage with manual transmission instead. Didn’t realize they would cut down the 2 door trims so much the following year or I would have upgraded by now. Anyways, still absolutely love my Bronco.

Would buy a jeep 🙄
KIDDING!!! Please don’t come after me with pitchforks lol.
Love everything about my BadSas, only thing I’d do differently is skip the factory full PPF and get it done elsewhere.

Would have waited and bought one with Hoss 3.0 instead of needing to upgrade what I have.

I would've sprung for the Lux package on my WildTrak. I initially thought the only thing that I wanted out of that package was the heated steering wheel, but I wasn't about to pay over $3,500 for it.

In hindsight, the biggest feature I feel I've missed out on is the 360-degree camera in addition to the heated steering wheel.

The B&O system, from what I have read is OK at best, and ACC isn't that important to me. I had that on a previous Lexus I leased for a while, and I never used it.

I would've picked a different dealership to work with, as they (mainly the owner) turned out to be a dishonest scumbag.
That’s the worst… first dealer I placed custom order with where scumbags so I demanded my deposit back and went elsewhere. First dealer decided to go through with the build anyways and are still sitting on it nearly a year later asking nearly Braptor money for it 🙄
