2024 Badlands - hello!

[SierraBronco]

Spare tie rods will keep the ones on his Bronco from breaking, or won't break as often. Same theory as spare tires prevent flats.

You are 100% correct. I’ve given away three or four of them on the trail. Haven’t needed them myself.

Thanks all for the great advice!

I plan to keep this fairly stock and don't plan on climbing mountains and hills with it. It's moreso going to be a camping and trail rig.

I'll definitely look into all lighting options, thanks for the sharing of the reverse light issues. Also will get some better/HD tie rods. Will likely keep stock as the spares.

If these Irish lasses are coming, I am ready to drive. There is something really erotic about this.

I think Trailgater is the best tailgate table. Probably the most expensive too. But worth it. Easy install, no drilling. Plus you can install it so it's level when open.

I'm officially in the club. Been eyeing them for a year or two. Finally pulled the trigger. Such a beautiful and well riding machine.

Hot chili metallic red, high/lux package, leather seats, etc. Prod date of 12/24.

New 2024 OTD price of 55k after all fees. Special Ford 1.9%/72 months financing. Got a good deal on the last 2024 sitting on the lot.

Ordered already:

• Some inside light enhancements
• Heavy duty off road floor mats
• Stubby atennae
• OS handles
• Some compartment cubbies and such
• Proper non dealer front license plate bracket for the bumper (Texas law sucks)

Coming soon: tint and the tailgate table addition.


Lovely ride so far, only thing I'm noticing that I don't like is how dark the inside is at night when you need a light, and the stock compartments for usual things suck. Both of these have been handled already aftermarket.


Any advice besides enjoy it?

Where did you get such a low rate? I'm planning on buying a '25 tomorrow, and my dealership doesn't think they can do better than 4%

FoMoCo is offering 1.9/72 for only New 2024 Badlands and Wildtraks still sitting on lots, and only through July I believe.

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick reply.

@CalvinT 's theory seems to apply to fire extinguishers, too

I got this License Plate holder from someone no longer offering them, but they are available from ticklemybronco.com. It mounts to the Modular Bumper you have and is still high enough to avoid issues.

You'll also want to activate 'Sport Mode' (G.O.A.T). It really wakes up the engine.

I picked up the interior dome lights from IAG and the inside is WAY more navigable now.

Some people like to do things in the dark.

I have not found that to be the case

Maybe that’s only the rule if you have a $450 Halon extinguisher. Carrying the $30 extinguisher that causes ridiculous corrosion after use did not prevent a fire and the need for using an extinguisher.

Yep! I have the Mabett front bumper bracket on the way currently.

Also have those dome lights in my wishlist, will do those as well at some point.

I got this in the meantime, simple plug and play.

Way brighter than the little one back there with the stock build.

Get the IAG dome lights before you glue in that Mabett cargo light. You'll need access there to plug in the lighting harness. It can be reached from above by pulling the panel away from the Roll Bar, but the plug is easier to do if you can get to the opening.

I installed it already but I can rip and renew as I need when I install those. However, this is a great tip for others starting out.

I suggest the carlinkit for FANTASTIC multimedia experience... this little cheap device turns your main screen into a tablet/laptop. Allowing you to watch videos, surf the web, read emails, print contracts, download any app from the App Stores, clear codes, operate your winch, see your gauges ect. ect ect.
Absolutely the best money spent for the entertainment- feature - improvement value.
