When the time comes, Bronco received and my aftermarket wheels and tires put on, my no mileage stock wheels (Black Diamond steel) and stock tires will be for sale. Local only Albany/Eugene/Salem Oregon area. $200.00 pick-up only.
I'm buying from Stephens and was looking to go to a 33" tire like the badlands and I'm only 3.5 hours from Atlanta. I might be game if their compatible without any modifications. When did you make your reservation? I'm day one.If you’re buying from Stephens I might have some day one Badlands wheels/tires for you.
The upgrade BD wheels suck. Best wheels are BL upgrades for the extra $1k. That said, to get the BL look you need 5 wheels and tires + a lift. Isn't it just worth going BL? After all the BD upgrades what are you into it for? And the resale value far trumps the BD you spent all that cash on to upgrade.Anyone going BD and thinking of upgrading the wheels aftermarket? The aluminum wheels for $995 don’t seem that special to me, and I don’t want to keep the steelies. I was looking for wheels online but I’m not sure how to find what would be compatible yet. I want something not so flashy (not the OB wheels!), something closer to BL wheels.
My question is the difference that I have done on similar builds on Black Diamond and Badlands comes to $5250 without Squatch which I don't care for as this will be part time vehicle for me because I have company van for DD. So new wheels and tires will roughly be a couple grand at most. A 1 or 2 inch lift will be more than 3 thousand? Also a speedometer adjustment. I'm asking questions now before I order.The upgrade BD wheels suck. Best wheels are BL upgrades for the extra $1k. That said, to get the BL look you need 5 wheels and tires + a lift.

I think if you want to lift, change tire size, or do any suspension work, and you are like me, and really don't know what that entails, the Sasquatch is probably a good deal. Outside of of cosmetic changes, modding vehicles is getting more and more difficult. These are not simple vehicles anymore.My question is the difference that I have done on similar builds on Black Diamond and Badlands comes to $5250 without Squatch which I don't care for as this will be part time vehicle for me because I have company van for DD.

I agree with the complexity of of these vehicles. I did a little research since my posting. Unfortunately I had to use the Wrangler as the basis of my search. Either I'm looking to either lift the body which is relatively inexpensive or lift the suspension which says it can cost anywhere from $1400-$1600. All I'm trying to do is to make an educated decision on which would be less expensive. So for the sake of the math that the Badlands build would cost $5200 more than Black Diamond. The 2' suspension lift is $1600 and 5 Wheels and Tires $2000 give or take. That leaves $1600 left that I can buy a few more accessories. Or do I say the hell with it and just order the Badlands and not have any worries or put in any effort to find someone to do the work? All this for a one inch increase in tire size.I think if you want to lift, change tire size, or do any suspension work, and you are like me, and really don't know what that entails, the Sasquatch is probably a good deal.
