Bad Blue 2-Door Bronco Badlands Build Journal

[@BadBlueBronco]

Kc, that looks beautiful man. Damn, made me wish mine was VB. I have A51. If you dont mind me asking, how much does it cost for full PPF on a 2 door?

I have a friend doing it for pretty cheap but I have seen people on the forums pay between 3-6k for full PPF.

Edit: the material cost for a 2DR is ~500-700$

Almost done and will have lot of pictures to share.

I literally picked it up Thursday, drove it to Sacramento and got new wheels Friday. Went to Tahoe for the weekend, flew to Portland Monday and now flying back to the Bay Area. I spoke to my buddy last night and it’s almost done, just a few small areas and assembly. Hoping by Tuesday I can pick her up and do a photo shoot.

Nicely done. So what else you gonna do?

Planned:
Yakima platform rack(doubt a snowboard will fit flat in the back)
Driver rear seat delete

Once I start breaking things and/or need new tires at 50k miles I would like to increase to 37s and strengthen up the suspension.
Blow off valve and catch can will be nice

Tbh I’m always torn between modding and keeping warrantee. I try to stay away from doing things that will make it any more difficult to make a claim. My truck had carpet that would fall out when you vacuumed and Chevy wouldn’t cover it even tho I had bumper to bumper. They said the floor mats I Bought we’re at fault

I will also likely install an amp for the 6 speakers and I think it would be badass to mount some boat tower speakers with 8 inch subwoofers on the roll bar

A air compressor is also a must

Love the wheels. I am getting the same ones, but powered coating cloud white looks even better. May I ask if you had to do it again, would you still go Sasquatch, or just swap out stock for those wheels? I had Squatch on order but just downgraded to stock to save $ since there's not much besides wheels that Squatch improves over stock for BL. Am I thinking about that wrong?

TBH Squatch was a last minute add on. I was under the impression by the build guide and online builder that you could get 4.7 gears as an option without the package. That wasn't true so now I am selling the sasquatch wheels and tires. I purchased the package for the gearing alone

Ok, now I’m REALLY confused- build site says 4.7 standard with BL. That’s wrong?

4.7 standard with manual if I’m not mistaken

Nice- I also have a VB SAS 2 door- If possible, could would put up a full side shot of the pinstripe? It's something I am looking to add. Thanks

Hope this helps

Wheels turned out great! I guess the -6 offset works well with the SAS flares…

Yes, the tread is covered by the fare and the sidewall pokes out. Fender flares don’t do crap to keep mud from caking the side and rear flare

Decided to go out and explore some local fire trails, see what’s open…. And what’s closed. Haha. Starting to map it all out on Gaia. I love that you can see your Gaia map on screen BUT I wish there was some form of reporting for it. Similar to how I can mark road hazards while using waze. Any ways, enjoy the few photos I got. I left my camera and tripod at the front door because I was too excited.
