  1. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Finally got around to taking some pictures over the long weekend! New Baja Designs XL linkable light bar: Was testing out a new camera, you can see the missing crash bars thanks to @Lobo Off-Road crash bar erase & brace kit. I love it! Ditched the RC tire carrier and put on a @Turn...

    Thank you @Ford Motor Company! I put on a @Baja Designs XL linkable this week, going to capture some photos over the weekend.
  3. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Thanks for the kind words! Yep, the information should be linked a few pages back (I’ve tried to hyperlink everything as I post in case anyone is interested). The truck came with Sasquatch package + a rough country 2.5” lift, which contains UCAs and shock spacers that sit above the shocks. I...
  4. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Thank you! The brackets are beefier than the bumper and there are two bolts on the bottom face of the frame and one on the side IIRC. Personally, I’m not concerned. I also have all American made recovery gear on board, including multiple snatches and ground anchor to use my own winch if I get in...
  5. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Thank you! Yes it comes with the bracket, and the bracket works with spare tire reinforcement brace and spare tire spacer. I mounted it directly to the tailgate, and the others on top of it.

    @DV8offroad spec series rear bumper and elite cubes, DV8 shock skids (trail arm skids are sitting here, need to throw em on). Also put on a Rigid chase light. I wired up the intermittent, cargo/backup, and solid red light functions.

    XPEL Stealth PPF ———————- Done by New Image Detailing in the DFW area. The owner and his team Kody do incredible work. Very happy with how it turned out!

    Air pressure gauge from Horn Blasters to monitor the pressure of the onboard air system. The pressure is read by a sensor in the bung and this is simply a remote display. It will start flashing if 150 psi is exceeded, so this spot is perfect and tucked away. I haven’t really seen any other gauge...

    NP! 20ft. I have an EZ Flate system so it definitely reaches. As far as the chick goes, it will definitely reach, you might have to go through the cab though. Length is just under 16’ for 4 door
  11. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    No, it just uses one of the available two mounting points atop the passenger side rear bar, but the slot on the bracket lines up with the slot in the bar (which is between the two mount points). I lined the bracket up straight and used thread locker on the bolt in the lower nut, then used an...
  12. SS5 Grille Crosslink Lightbar by Diode Dynamics, Oracle backlit letters, and a few other mods

    Very nice build, and good boys ;) $4650 is incredible! I just got 75sqft of XPEL stealth, gonna try and brave it myself as I was quoted about double here in DFW. For your compressor—this is on Amazon, but a small/USA owned business. Got it in 3 or 4 days at 1/3 the cost of others I’ve seen with...
  13. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Thank you! With 96% of the vehicles stock space unobstructed, I would say there, but the dog eats any and everything he sees :crackup: including pocket sand and critters

    Recovery Gear & Onboard Tools: ------------- Buying the truck used, it didn't come with a toolkit :( which is fine because I would build and supplement it anyways. Here's what I keep on board: -Milwaukee 3/8 Fuel ratchet -Milwaukee 1/2" torque driver -Various sockets ranging up to 40MM -Torx...

    It’s mounted using a QD mount with a pull pin, but it’s only a 20oz power tank. I will be covering that along with the Pro Eagle jack, recovery gear, and on board tools probably tonight or tomorrow night.
  16. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Thank you! That’s crazy, they were just there the other night but I see what you saw just now when I checked. I have these ones as well, and they’re fantastic. They use the same material and hold shape way better, PLUS there’s a lot of built in pockets, straps, dividers, etc. whereas the SST has...
  17. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    The tuning with valve and pistons makes a whole lot of sense. I’ve been 4x4 for quite a while now but did not fully understand how the innards of a shock work around restricting or permitting oil flow based on how its valved, and ultimately how that manifests to the operator on a given terrain...
  18. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    LOVE the openings and I see they’re made in the USA too, I’m getting one while I can still return this one to Amazon! Thanks for the feedback! As for the GMRS you could definitely mount it to the underside of the overhead panel, and I imagine you’d want to, since you will need to change...
  19. Rusty Shackleford's 2023 Badlands Build

    Well crap, I disappeared from the internet about six years ago and got rid of social media. I'm glad I did except in situations like this. I will find a way to check it out, thanks!
