Base Model added Badlands Wheels and Tires

I like the badges, if simply to upset guys who overspent $10k on a Bronco. I may put on Scout badges, but I did see FEs were obtainable.

Lol, I get the mixing and matching of cosmetic features is going to confuse people. It’s one thing to take all the cosmetics for a badlands and install on a base, but putting the badge on there is definitely poser. Be happy with your base…they’re still very capable!

Never said I was trying to fool anyone.

Exactly, I didn't say or infer that.

Again...the only one your fooling is yourself.

Do you know want a fraud is?

They are all the same vehical to me no matter the badging.
Only things to differentiate Broncos is number of doors, engine, and auto vs manual. Otherwise they are all the same. If people need to bitch about someone else using their badge because they paid more, fuck em. No one really cares. Haters gonna hate. Do what you want. Wheels look good.

I don’t care one way or another, but why would you put the badges on if you don’t care? Sounds like some fomo to me. Posers gonna pose? I think the Base with BL wheels look great btw. I have a Badlands. I much prefer the MGV and I have the t-case, gears , shocks and HD axle I wanted. Over paid? I would argue I got an incredible bargain. To each their own!

Well the dead giveaway is the lack of body armor on the forward mount for the lower links.

Any worries about wheel/tire weight and height on the base axels?

I went from Outer Banks to Wildtrak to Base by simply replacing the wheel trim rings and removing the fender badges…

I learned something new today.

I could see the argument when sasquatch is in play, but a base base and a Badlands have a lot more difference than doors, engine, and trans (which aren't even part of the equation in this scenario) but hell, they can put whatever badges they want on them as long as they're not trying to sell it as something it's not. But they have to be ready for a little shit from the forum for doing it lol

You’re welcome. I believe (don’t remember for sure) that it’s only on Black Diamond and Badlands models, also First Editions naturally

BTW..the overreactions to a Badlands sticker on a base Bronco are priceless. Does anyone remember the time when folks were slapping 5.0 badges on 88hp 2.3L fox body Mustangs? Perspective is the answer and to each their own.

The wheels look nice. I’ve also put different trim wheels on a vehicle in the past. I don’t get the badge thing, but nice wheel swap.

The Base has the same set up as a BB/BD/Obx which runs 32s, these tires are only about 1/2" bigger.
