Finally did it! 2-Dr Badlands in Eruption Green

[rfiorillo]

Got a JL Wrangler Rubcion Unlimited (aka 4-dr) a year and a half ago because I didnt want to agonize over the long wait. Wheeled the JL and even took it to Moab 2 years in a row. Was on 37’s with 2” Mopar lift, steel bumper and winch. Was looking to keep going…

Fast forward to recently and I got the itch for a 2 door. Something shorter and better breakover without having to go to 40s. It is afterall my daily driver. But the 2dr JL are just SO small and you’re lucky to fit a backpack behind the rear seats. 96.8” wheelbase.

So started poking around on Ford dealer sites for inventory. Started seeing a lot of either blue window stickers (ie. dealer order) and abandoned customer orders (green sticker). Also many dealers now doing MSRP.

As luck would have it - this 2 dr Badlands in Eruption Green popped up at the dealer only 2 miles from me. Get in touch with them last week. Turns out another buyer had put a deposit before me. I was sort of bummed but that’s life. Then this morning the sales guy calls me and says that buyer backed out. Was mine if I wanted it. So I b-lined it over and long story short, the JLUR got traded in and here it is…

My 2023 2-Dr Badlands High package in Eruption Green! To say I’m stoked is an under statement!

Congratulations!!! I got almost the same build but Velocity Blue & got the upgrade bumper this month and just love it.. I Order the removable side steps but it didn't come with it. Another zero out item. I will wait to see if they come back.. I hope.

What is the ‘upgrade’ front bumper? The Modular?

Can you tell me what bumper and fog lights those are? Want the same for mine.

Just the factory Mod Steel bumper. The fogs are Baja Designs; Squadron Pro SAE and S2 Sports. 4x4TruckLEDs.com will hook you up!

I ordered my 2 door Badlands with the Erection Green and LOVE it.! Ordered Jan. 2022 and got it Sept. 2022. I found Wildtrac take off wheels/tires (35's) to replace the 33's and think they look awesome with standard flares. Badlands is the ultimate IMHO.!

Erection Green? Is that a new shade or should you be heading to the doctor?!

Hey, I've never called this color anything else, ever since my reaction to it the first time I saw it.! If you don't have the same reaction...well...your obviously a female.!!

Ohh women react to the color just fine. I’ve been shocked at how many have gone out of there way to complement the color of my Bronco, as I wasn’t expecting that, but it’s a plus if anyone is on the fence about Erection Green. lol!

 

[STX Bronco]

Loving mine. Closing in on a month now and it’s been great! The Erection just keeps on going on and on.

I’m so confused, my window sticker says I have the modular bumper, but I don’t have that bar that crosses the grill…

Ohh, you like the bar. Think you can just buy it, or there are a few aftermarket makes of them that you may like even better. I got it as an option with the order. Not sure it provides much serious protection, but it looks nice up there.
