You can select 4.7 gearing on Badlands without going Sasquatch.
Huh, I didn't know that. Too much work and not enough time playing with b&p yet ?
With the talk of a B&P update I didn't do anything other than a quick build for BD and BL. How much does the 4.7 gearing cost?

Right now it doesn't seem to cost anything, which is great. Give it a shot. Just select 4.7 gearing and you'll notice it doesn't add the Sasquatch package.

Sweet! If it stays that way, I lean more towards no squatch. With the snow and ice here, those KO2's will do way better for me.

For anyone who is brand new to wheeling (like me), I found this video to be really useful/ practical for thinking about 33s vs 35s.

I love the look of the 35s, the wider stance and wheel arches, etc., but practically I like to drive in a “spirited manner” on the road day-to-day.

So if I go with BFG 33” on the bead lock ready wheels if I want to add 35s later what else would I needed match Sasquatch?

high clearance fenders, bump stops to limit wheel travel? Anything else?

The BFG's only come on the non beadlock wheels. All beadlock wheels come with the Goodyear territory.

BnP disagrees with you. You can select the optional Badlands wheels for $995 and keep the BFGs.
The tire debate has rage earlier in the thread. They list the option wheels on badland with Mud terrain. the BFG only comes in A/T, the press release below the wheels shows the optional beadlock with the Goodyear.

this may be right but if you go to BnP you can select the wheel and $995 is added to your total price without forcing you to add the $695 GY 285/70 MTs, try it and you‘ll see and the image does not change the tires.

And the screen grab you have says ‘available with’, meaning you can get them with that tire. Also, on the pdf it shows ‘optional”.

Are those wheels actually different from the Sasquatch wheels?
