Picked my Base up on Friday. 2.3l Auto. No options. Installed the 2in Rough Country Lift/Level kit along with 17" KMC Bully's wrapped in 35x12.50 R17 NittoRecon Grapplers on Friday night. Have put on 100 miles and I really like the car.

Rides nicely I have owned multiple lifted vehicles in the past (Wranglers, FJ, 4Runners, Xterras, and Grand Cherokees).

The base sound system is lacking for sure will need to upgrade the speakers, and the base steering wheel does not feel good to the touch, but for $35k what do you expect? Also miss heated seats but that isn't a killer with the remote start timer. Can't wait to pull the top and doors off hopefully soon. Going down to OBX in late March so hoping for good weather.

Oh also that's my coworkers 2022 Raptor... big bonus that the Bronco looks meaner for half the price.

Exactly the same. I am waiting on my loopback harness for my amps and subwoofer.

Did you install the bumper fog lights yourself? Were they easy to install?

I had to make the hole behind the trim panel a little bigger with a dremel, but a different light may fit with no modification. Over all very simple, about an hour job including wiring.

Very sharp, really like the wheels too. I have been told that the Falken Wildpeak tires like yours are relatively quiet on the road. What can you say about the quietness of these tires? Im trying to decide on a tire even though I have nothing yet to put them on LOL.

The wild peaks are fantastic tires. I have had multiple cars. They are my go to tire. They are very quiet for what they are. Much more quiet then the wind noise for the factory roof rack. 😂

My wife's stock 4 door base is great in a foot of snow.The floor mats keep the floor clean from snow and mud.The seats seem nice and warn in minus degree weather.The badlands is alot better in snow and seems to hold its own.Maybe more then most need.But the seats are cold .Yet the wash out floor is great to keep the floor clean..

for those that are so inclined, what is your plan for adding a steel bumper (with or without winch). What vendors are you looking at and what all is involved with replacing the standard bumper?
