Badlands Bronco Thread

[tyrobronco]

Likely extra foam filling in the doors or some sort of panel on the roof panels. If you're getting Badlands, think you're getting marine vinyl and rubber floor from the start. That's what I want and don't wish to worry much about mildew, mold, or even drying the floor once I get home rinse it out, then foam bath the exterior. Ha!

I am hoping that this 360 view is going to be a gamechanger, especially on the approach. I can't tell you how much I wish I had a front camera on my FX4.

I think I talked myself into going high for the camera.

My brother has the Wrangler and he was talking about driving up an embankment and not seeing what was on the other side.

Reminded me of even driving up bridges and hoping there was nothing stopped on the other side.

I think I need it, now...

I agree thats why I talked about it. (Everyone said they wanted a white top thats how you get it this package)

Click on exterior features and look at optional

The other option I like that no one has said is the Keyless entry pad. I like that option but its on most if not all models.

Wait, what makes you believe you can option a white top with a different colored body? All I see it body color painted, black, and gray too options listed...

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

Need that bumper with the fogs and tow hooks! Don’t care if it’s a dealer or factory installed option. As long as the fog controls are integrated into the light switch

All BS aside they changed the wording and I don't even see the pillar paint option anymore.

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

1.2 inch? not hard at all. ditch the slushbox man! I miss wheeling my YJ and it didn't even have the granny gear. Only reason I never wheel the YJ anymore is it is my plow truck, and I live in WI and own a business...little hard to explain to a customer that U cant open the business on monday cause it snowed over the weekend and I broke my plowtruck wheeling it! Badlands gets you all the drivetrain of squatch, and better articulation! I can get 2" of fender clearance w/hockey pucks and a 7/16 drill bit. I think we are way too hung up on this #MANSQUATCH DEBACLE!

Are there any pictures of the rear steel bumper on the Badlands?

 

[LorenzeTorres]

Any thoughts on significant mpg differences with the steel bumpers/Heavy duty bash plates?

On my FJ I’m running a winch+ front and rear Warn bumpers + heavy duty steel skids and I’ve noticed I get 5+ MPG’s less since I’ve put them on. That’s comparing to how the truck was without the armor with 33’s and a lift

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?

It looks like it comes with the wheels, 35 tires, extended fender flares and a body lift. I’m not positive if it’s a body lift though. But the Badlands stock comes with the same suspension so I would assume it’s just a body lift.

The Squatch also reduces the suspension travel for the 35’s by about 1.5”.

Badlands with manual already comes with thesame final drive, lockers, suspension etc.

Hardly. I'm contemplating having custom metal badging made that says "Man-Squatch" for Badlands trimmed 7-speed Broncos that put 35s on and that would be too hung up on it, but we're not quite there yet nor have we started protesting in Michigan.

Check the above from a different thread. It looks like 'squatch package might come with electronic folding rock rails vs the badlands fixed? Might be because it's pre-production, not sure, but important to point out, as I haven't seen this info anywhere online. Does this affect y'all's decision to go squatch or no squatch?

They’re fixed he made a mistake

Correct. Sorry for the confusion

 

[BootyWizard]

Cool thanks for the update. Still looks different vs regular badlands rock rail. Wonder what the difference is going to be.

 

[Gatone13]

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

So here’s my joy and disappointment.. the joy: the moment I saw the reveal of the new bronco and watch it all the way through I was sold ..I can honestly say I’ve never watched a reveal and afterwards went to the dealers website and put a reserve on a vehicle before so my hats off to ford you have put your company on a whole new level in our country....now the cons side of this bronco....I was informed that you will not be able to get the bronco in a manual with the Sasquatch package...?‍I’m sorry Ford but this was a step you should not have missed and I’m hoping you will fix it before it’s actually released..see most people won’t buy these Broncos for the off roading though I believe there is a small nitch community that will legitametly take these things to there limit..you see people will buy them and accessory’s them to the max and Cruze through town it’s part of the American dream..why would you offer such a cool package on a amazing vehicle and say yah know it’s only for the automatic lovers..I’m sorry this was a failure on fords part and I’m hoping this will not be the same at release..you will lose customers because of that ford mark my words..as it stands for me if this issue is not addressed before the actual build date I will be pulling my money out..this is a step ford should have not missed ..you can’t give the off roadie almost the whole kitchen sink and then say hey don’t turn the hot and cold on together cause that’s not available...for me this wasn’t a home run for the simple fact that you have limited the bronco on the available options..change this ford and you have a home run for years to come...by the way I owned a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sahara two door ...this bronco has ended the wranglers days ..just some adjustments would be great
