  1. Ford - my suggestions for easy upgrade/changes to future Broncos 2027+

    Not sure if anyone from Ford monitors this forum, but if they did, here are some easy changes to future Broncos based on my 2026 Badlands. Here they are 1) add more sound insulation at the factory for the floor board and fenders (simple and reduces one common complaint - too noisy), 2) for...
  2. Manual transmission drivers - does shifting linkage get smoother with use?

    I am very happy with my 2026 Badlands manual transmission and love the short throw shifter, but shifting into 2nd from 1st or 3rd seems a bit more "clunky?" than other gears. My Bronco is very new with only around 550 miles. I was wondering if the shifting will get smoother with use over time or...
  3. Does anyone carry emergency food & water for unplanned overnight situations?

    Just curious if Bronco forum folks carry emergency food & water in their Broncos just in case they get stuck in an unplanned overnight situation due to weather or some other situation (stuck, mech problem, road closure). If so, what do you carry ... energy bars, dried food, beef jerky, ... beer...
  4. Self-adjusting bridle usage forward & sideways forces on recovery points

    I was considering adding a self adjusting bridle setup to my recovery gear, as it seems like it would split the force seen by the Badlands capable bumper recover points. I found this video on Youtube which provides technical calculations for the forward and lateral forces seen by the recovery...
  5. IAG Engine Skid Plate with Oil Access for Bronco 4dr Badlands?

    Has anyone on the forum used the IAG engine skid plate with oil plug access? If so, did it fit and what is your opinion on it ... the good, the bad and the ugly. I am wondering if it will fit my 2026 4dr 2.3L manual Badlands. Here is an image from the IAG website...
  6. Badlands OEM skid plate mod or replace w/aftermarket skid for easy oil plug access

    I am planning on installing a Lobo hidden winch skid plate on my 2026 Badlands with 2.3L and manual trans, but I have read that it makes removing the oil pan skid plate more difficult for oil changes. I plan on doing most/all of my oil changes and would like to make them as easy as possible. So...
  7. Seat Covers that Don't Cover Molle Panels on Back of Front Seats

    I want to get seat covers for my 2026 4-dr Badlands with fancy leather seats (got these because of added front seat height adjustment). I would like for the seat covers to leave access to the molle panels/storage on the back of the front seats. I found a Youtube video showing Mabett seat covers...
  8. New Bronco installed hydraulic Redline Hood Lifts -> I can't reach the hood!

    OK, take it easy on me (stop laughing), I'm height challenged and my planning might be suspect ... so I installed these on my new Badlands and they work great. They raise the hood really easy and high, really high, but unless I have something to stand on, I can't reach the hood to close it. I...
  9. 2026 Badlands non-SAS Goodyear Territory RT 33" Loud?

    This week I finally got my special order 2026 4dr Badland non-SAS and it comes with Goodyear Territory RT 33" tires. I read that these were really Wranglers but Ford had "Wrangler" replaced by another "Goodyear". So I have only had this for a short while, but they seem loud to me at...
  10. Carbonized Grey Broncos - what accent color did you choose?

    I have a 2026 4-dr Badlands on order, 4-dr carbonized grey body & painted hardtop roof. Looking to upgrade recovery points (ex. IAG), add side steps, seat covers, manual gear shift knob, ... I could just go with black on everything or I could choose another color such as red, blue, even white...
  11. Bronco 4-door Roof Rack (Black Friday Sale) - Hooke Full Size or Broaddict Full with Rear Extension

    I am looking for advice/feedback on getting either the Hooke or Broaddict roof rack for my on-order 2026 Badlands. I know this is an apple/orange decision since they are drastically different in design/style. The Hooke is a full size utilitarian rack, has a large 800lb carrying capacity but I...
  12. Hidden Winch Options for 2.3L - Lobo vs RC vs ???

    I am planning on installing some version of a hidden winch on my on-order 2026 Bronco Badlands with the 2.3L and manual transmission and capable bumper. It has the Lux package so it has the 360degree camera and ACC. I really want to keep all the sensors in place if possible. Also, where I live...
