I want to camp this year and take advantage of being able to work remotely. I love my Bronco (21 Badlands, Squatch, 4DR 2.7) but am struggling to find a good sized live-in camper that could be towed relatively safely.
If the limit is technically 3500lbs and a camper weighs 3500lbs dry, roughly...
I posted on here about my attempts to do a Justin McBride inspired raised deck in the rear of my BL a while back. It mostly did the trick but 10k+ miles later I've learned where it fell short, and thanks to so many here with similar ideas I went to the drawing board to re-do this entirely...
2021 Badlands - 11k miles and to date not a single issue. Did a solid wash to get some mud off this morning, drove around town to speed up the drying process and parked it. Came back out to clear space in the driveway and all of a sudden "Transmission Not in Park" warning on my dash. Shifted to...
Did the "there and back" run over the Dragon in NC/TN last week, with the top down, and what a machine. The more time I spend behind the wheel, on interesting roads/trails, the more this begins to feel like a big side by side. Thanks to the Forscan tweaks I popped into Sport Mode and had a...
I was watching the 24 Hell in Back offroading videos on youtube and noticed their support vehicle, a soft-top Bronco, had a freaking rack on it. Left a comment and got the following reply:
So did a quick google search and found this...
Merry Christmas, yall. Been a wild ride (to say the least) and for some its ongoing, but I hope at some point in the near future everyone is roaming the dirt/mud/snow/rocks in their new Bronco.
Cheers.
11-01-2021 UPDATE - Trip done.
Sorry I've missed a lot of your questions, traveling cross country is a real bitch and staying away from the internet has been kind of nice. Now that I'm back I can confidently say this thing is an absolute beast and I love it more than I did before I left.

I'm well aware, '21 Bronco is far from perfect and has some "loveable" defects. That being said, had my front two windows rolled a few inches down and when I rolled over the train tracks holy toledo those things wobbled so hard. Not exaggerating it scared the crap out of me and I am surprised...
Finally got my BL off the pavement and onto the dirt today. What a MACHINE, it was the easiest and most comfortable offroad experience Ive ever had.
I started off doing some basic dirt roads following a route I found on Gaia. Little did I know a majority of this route was 6" narrower than the...
I saw Justin McBride build his platform and honestly it made so much sense I had to copy him and do one for myself. This completely eliminates the hump between the cargo floor/backseat while introducing storage hidden underneath. My plan is to solo camp for a week or two at a time and this is...
I picked up my 4dr Badlands w/high package last week and in anticipation of poor audio from stock I ordered (4) Infinity Reference 4" and (2) Infinity Reference 6.5". I took my time to swap all the speakers, tested some bass blockers on the 4" speakers but removed them (think I ordered too high...
After many attempts to get a final Retail Sales Order from my dealer (thanks all for the help on this forum) everything checks out with the exception of "Dealer Paid F.E.T." Its listed as $0 but of course, "**Subject to adjustment - Final F.E.T. may vary. Any F.E.T. variance responsibility of...
I got to messing around in Photoshop, thinking about designs and what might look good to me for whenever I take delivery of my Badlands. I really dig the RTR concept with the vinyl stripes so I kind of went with that. Anyone out there have mockups or designs of their own doing?
Am I...
To preface, this is not an April Fools thing -- quick backstory, I called my dealer Monday to change my order from a Wildtrak to a Badlands (for fear of commodity shortages/delays) and he said he would let me know when its swapped over in the system. Not 10 minutes ago he called and said "Well...
