Badlands Build 37" | 3.5" 4WP Coilovers | Arms | Track Bar | RC Hidden Winch | Fender Deletes

[PatioDaddio78]

Dude, you’re killing’ me…not sure I can handle another 2 weeks of refreshing my screens - bad deja vu of waiting for the bronco build notification!

I know what you mean it doesn’t get any better after delivery. Now I have fear of making a mistake getting the wrong accessories. So many choices, but what is the correct way to go?!

The hidden winch looks like best solution for folks with front camera and ACC, but how much front approach angle and clearance do you loose?

A gentleman added it to his mod bumper and kept his factory bash plate, so he saw zero loss, which is awesome!

Badland's winch has a great reliability reputation and is in use by loads of 4wheelers.
No need to pay the Warn tax anymore.

I've read too many documented failures. I won't save a few dollars on my "get out of jail free card". If you were doing a budget base build and it's all you can do, cool. Spending all your budget on a big screen and cameras, not trail gear is questionable to me.

I don’t have real knowledge about one winch over another however, when comparing this Badlands winch to the Smittybilt in the same size. I believe one could use a Smittybilt in place of the Badlands, the bolt pattern described is the same and they both appear to be the same size.

Any advice?

I've personally read about more failures on the Bronco, then I have about the badlands winch.

Great looking build! Although I won't see my Bronco until Feb, I've been gathering info on the mods I want to do. I know I want to go up to a 37", either a 12.5" or 13.5" width.
What offset did you need for your wheels with the wider tires? I've been told I'd need a positive 25. That seems to really limit my options for wheels.

Why oh why doesn’t the FORD winch do this??

Saw this on Facebook today.

Are the 4wp coilovers the 2.5" VSRT? It looks like they come preset to 3" and can be adjusted up to 3.5". Did you have to do that for the 37"s to fit? Any rubbing? What size and offset are the wheels?

What are your plans with your base fenders?? Interested in parting with them? I have SAS fenders and want something a bit narrower.

Hey @The Rack Boss - have you gotten her back yet? Would love to hear how the modification was done to accommodate the RC on the MOD bumper...looks awesome! Thanks for posting this!

So I broke down and called them this morning, and sadly they confirmed your timeline - said they pushed back intro to January. Was really hoping to use some of my time off to put this together. Maybe my RockSlide Eng steps or ARB onboard mounting kit will come and those will keep me busy instead...

Bummer. I fear the longer we wait for better things to come out the more better things will come out prolonging the decision while waiting for better things. Lol

Trust me, the new and better things will not come out UNTIL I buy the old one and install it...
