Impulse Upgrade 🫣

[Kimberley]

I did not plan for this, but I traded my 2022 Manual Black Diamond with a soft top for 2024 Manual black Diamond Sasquatch with MIC hard top.

I had zero plans to get rid of my Bronco but while at the dealership looking at Mavericks for my other half I saw they had the Sasquatch version of mine which did not exist when I ordered back in 2021. It was one of those "go and test drive just for fun , maybe they can look at yours while you test drive just for fun ,oh price isn't right yet what if we do this" scenarios. A couple hours later I have a vehicle too big for my side of the garage (good thing the Maverick is small!)

So now with all this sudden change I am looking for what I need next for the Sasquatch for accessories, mods upgrades ect. Looking more for smaller mods that just make owning this a little more enjoyable. (For example I had a tail gate assist, tailgate table, cargo cover, StickerFab coloring throughout, SMS exposed racks)

Since I traded with no plan ahead of time I gave up everything I put into the first Bronco (major items I cared about were only for soft top models so I let them go with the trade.) I am not looking for anything big or drastic or even for off road specific. As much as I planned to off-road, it never really happened with life getting in the way so upgrading to the Sasquatch will already give me more than what I need at the moment for anything I still might do for off-road. Now I have learned to ride a motorcycle so nice days off are mostly used for getting better on 2 wheels anyway.

It's been 2 years since I deep dived into research on this site so if anyone has suggestions on threads send them my way. Not sure yet if I want to know the bad side about owning a manual sasquatch yet so you can hold off on those! But I will take fender badge suggestions, the first bronco I put more of a 90's feel to the look not sure what I am doing yet with the Sasquatch.

Oh and the 2024... No window rattle! Maybe this was already fixed and I missed it but was a helpful selling point for me.

"Not looking for anything big or drastic?" You're in the Green Mountain State and you're not thinking of offroading? Phshaw!
Ahem...you already know how addictive owning a Bronco is, so keep an eye on your checking account and enjoy the ride! (Pun very much intended.)
It's like you've developed a taste for blended Scotch, and now you're buying single malt.
Looks real nice. Happy trails!

(PM me if you feel like meeting for coffee or a brew...or a trip into the woods! I'll be in South Royalton October 4-6)

I justify it by saying I needed new winter tires anyway

Nice upgrade.

Congrats! Being in Vermont...with cold weather coming keep your ears open for the 7MT rattle. Usually starts making noise when cold soaked for several hours below 45-50deg.

Really hoping that was fixed but I guess I will find out in the next month or so. We plan to move somewhere warmer anyway so maybe that will happen before the rattle starts.

Thanks! that is a great list! I did grab a couple of those out of my trade (floor/cargo mats, a few small mabett items). Is the headliner needed even in the hard top? I have a dirty dog headliner still but the hardware went with the trade though.

I don’t feel like the headliner is necessary for me, the top is insulated enough for noise.
And it doesn’t get that hot or cold here.
Your needs may be different.
