How big are you trying to go?
There's a guy selling Badlands take-offs with TMPS sensors installed on FB Marketplace in New Braunfels for $1,400 (which is less than the cost of the 33" KO2's themselves). Since the TMPS's are still in, you can install those yourself in the driveway just by changing wheels and I think the balancing should still be good too. That'll get you from base 30's to factory 33's!

that's the perfect size haha I was actually thinking of getting the KO2s

Talked to Ford Chat this afternoon. Asked for my rail car number, and they obliged. Called in to the CSX system and found out my bronco is currently in Ohio, but will be in Nashville by Wednesday morning. I am assuming that is the end of the railroad trip and it will have to be trucked the 1.5-2 hrs south after that. Here’s to hoping I’ll have it by the end of the week.

If you need even more affirmation, I did exactly the same thing last week. Bought someone's takeoff Badlands KO2's w/sensors and <70 miles on em up in DFW for cheaper than I could have bought only 4 new ones... without the rims.

They're sitting in my living room wrapped in a tarp waiting on my Big Bend to get here.

When did yours ship? I am in Nashvegas, my truck is built and awaiting shipping. Curious as to how long the train ride is?

Nice! do you have a guy you recommend in town for all this?

My dealer is putting a quote together and I have a local Dripping shop called Thor Offroad getting me a quote as well. Trying to figure out which direction to go

The tracker showed awaiting shipment and then changed to in transit both on 7/13. The built and shipped emails came on 7/14.

EDITED: should say 7/13 & 7/14, not 6/13 & 6/14

@geodude05 I am not sure what industry means.

Seems to be more associated with manpower than how fast the train gets to its next location . Mine sat for several days waiting to get loaded. Then once loaded, only took a couple days to get to Memphis. Now has been sitting in Memphis for four days waiting to be unloaded and trucked one hour to the dealer. No current update available on how long this will be. I suspect things will start moving next week as I will be out of state for a week!

She's here! Tracker wouldn't load, so decided to drive by the dealer again to check, sweet! Now I'll have to wait until tomorrow because you can't buy cars on Sunday in PA

I am so in love with mine the ride is great handling was a little stiff around corners but almost 200 miles in she is smoothing out. I am getting 22-22.9 mpg in sport mode.

22mpg?! Wow, I'll be surprised if I get that high, I tend to have a heavy foot

I may too. I was only getting 19 in eco.
Good luck today!! Go get it. Woot.

Wow, that is a lot of time on rail if it was loaded on the 14th.

I thought Memphis was a pretty big rail hub. I hope they get it sorted before you leave.

Yeah, Memphis is a very big rail hub, so may take a while.

I've only driven about 150 miles on mine so far with maybe a little less than half of that highway miles. I'm averaging in the low 18s.
