Badlands Bronco Thread

I want fog lights too. It doesn't look like they are available on the Badlands. Best you can do is a LED lightbar on the bumper.

Dude, w/the lightbars they sell nowadays you will never worry about fog lights again!!!

I want 35” ATs....KO2s or Duratracs; I wish they offered 35” ATs as an option over the MTs. So...I wouldn’t mind the 33s stock, but then, is it geared close enough to swap to 35: without regearing, or do I need to order Sasquatch to run 35s well?

I might do Sasquatch and then try get my dealer to swap to 35 KO2s.....or sell the MT’s on craiglist. I did this before with my dealer. I have had both KO2s and Duratracs and slightly prefer KO2s.

I didn’t know the Badlands came stock with KO2s. This is a great setup. I have them on my Colorado and they are quiet but great off road.

I hope the OEM ones are E rated and not some cheap version of them.

I want to put another wrench in this for fun but something I'm thinking about. Transmission gearing and rear end gearing I'm a race car guy so I use this link to help me with final speed.

The pic will tell you final gear just click on T56 and change the numbers as need and hit calculate. with the 10 speed its .63 final so with 35s and a 4.7 gear say at 77mph I'm 2200 rpms now with 37s that will be 2090 rpms. If you don't get the Sasquatch package you have 4.46 35s would be 2080 rpms and 37s would be 1970 rpms. I like the idea of being under 2000 rpms at cruse.

Just some food for thought The odds are I'll go 4.7 with 37s and be 2090 rpms at 77mph

This is GREAT for MPG's and if you are a light off roader. Just keep in mine you might need more gear if you are a more "robust" off roader. In other words you will loose some giddyup with the less gear you have.

I'm sure they're C rated like the Rubicon and Raptor.

Sorry if this has already been asked. I'm seeing quite a few people wanting the Badlands with the Sasquatch package. Other than the beadlock-capable wheels and 35" tires, what does Sasquatch add that the Badlands does not already have?

Automatic transmission and the associated trail modes, I believe.

Automatic transmission and the associated trail modes, I believe.

I thought g.o.a.t modes were associated with trim, not packages.

I was reading this:
Sasquatch™ Package
17" black-painted aluminum beadlock-capable
wheels with 35" LT315/70R17 BSW Mud-Terrain
tires, electronic-locking front and rear axles,
4.7 Final Drive Ratio, high-clearance suspension,
position-sensitive Bilstein™ shock absorbers,
and high-clearance fender flares.

...and was comparing to the Badlands trim. Both have front and rear lockers, and position sensitive Bilstein shocks. So does the Sasquatch package add the wheels and tires, high lift suspension and high clearance fender flares, or is the Badlands unique suspension already "high clearance"? Are the wheels and tires the only thing Sasquatch adds to Badlands?

Squatch changes the final drive ratio for sure.

 

[BoneyRoads]

I would say keep the man...lose the squatch. Sounds like DIYsquatch would be fairly easy!

how much would you think it would be to get the same clearance, after the fact. the main thing i'm worried about. going 100% manual

Well the Badlands in manual comes with the 4.70:1 rear.

Noooooooooo!!! I need that LED fog bumper!

hopefully it will be an option because that’s the best looking bumper. They’ve been showing it on the press ones for the debut

 

[LoneStar]

curious how the roof rails "interact" with removable hardtop panels? I mean the rails would need detach easily from what I can tell.

It still does with Sasquatch, but since it’s with the auto then, it’s not quite as good.
