Badlands Bronco Thread

[Big L 65]

Man, my taste is getting expensive. I've decided to configure my BL with the 2.7 Twin Turbo and 10-Speed Automatic Transmission. Sticking with 33's, though. This baby will be pulling my future T@B 400 across the country with my wife and I decided that manual transmission would be a pain. Also that we could use the extra horsepower from the 2.7. BL may be overkill, but without B&P I can't get Outer Banks the way I want it. BL it is. Praying this config doesn't break the bank ?

Z-Plan should help. Thank you dad!

Outer Banks is the way to go

Are you going Sasquatch or no squatch?

I’m doing similar to you (Area 51, 2.7l), but 4-door,lux package, gray hard top. I also like the look of the stock wheels but if the 17 inch beadlock they’ve shown for the 33 inch tires isn’t crazy expensive, I may go for those.

LOL. Crazy back and forth with that question. However, I do like the 33” but not crazy about the rims. Hopefully, we have a few options come Friday. I’m with you..

I want the 33’s and the optional BL Wheels and the Carbonized Gray Grill. Or, if there is a white package and Detroit Steel Wheel releases the John R prior to December I would switch to OBX and go full retro. So much hinges on B&P.

Just curious where you got that from. As far as all the documentation goes, it only says the manual gets 4.7 gearing or sasquatch (auto). Never heard it was standalone unless you're talking goong aftermarket.

Ford Claimed a Carbonized grey Ring option does that mean you have to buy the Sasquatch package and add ring late? It shows 3 options but the 3rd says 17" Black High Gloss-Painted Aluminum Wheels | $995. I thought you could buy beadlocks on 33s with the Carbonized ring option.

That's what it sounded like to me as well in Spec section. 33's with beadlock. Anyway may be bugs for them to work thru yet. Put your questions to the survey that pops up at the end.

I’m hoping they just left it off the description to keep it short (Carbonized Gray Beauty Ring, Beadlock Capable Wheels).

As you can see above it’s still on their website. Just not worded in its entirety on B&P (although the photos are correct).

 

[Werkedperformance]

The rightmost option is the beadlocks and not sasquatch. Silver ring locks......

And you can pick MT or AT with the locks.

AT all day for me BFG ATs are the end all daily driver tire for me.

 

[Cheshire]

Yep, First on the Badlands. I have a Rubicon now, this suppose to be the Rubicon fighter.

Badlands B&P, Yes!

Yep I'm in the same predicament. And I'm adding another option - a 2 door Black Diamond with aftermarket lift/wheels/33" tires. I want at least 33's and chrome wheels, so I'd have to get aftermarket wheels no matter what. And get 33" tires on the Black Diamond no squatch option

I'm sure this has been mentioned but why does upgrading to the 2.7L disqualify you from the paint protection film and roof rack upgrades? That's a weird correlation to a layman like myself.

 

[Tortuga353]

This is pretty much exactly what I wanted. I’ve been Badlands since I took between 10-30 seconds to decide during the reservation process.
Badlands, OJ (was A51), Squatch, 2.7L 10spd, tow package, soft top, and Lux. Raptorish with a soft top, more tech than I can afford on Raptor, and pretty bad ass if you ask me. I feel like it is the least compromised model which just ended up being more luck than anything.

 

[Cooknn]

Do y’all have a bright yellow stripe on the interior grab handle? I’m hoping this is because they used a “pre-production” vehicle. Does not go with anything on my AMB BL ?

 

[JimmyDean]

yes please.
