This will be my 2023 Badlands 2dr build where I can keep track of all the modifications and adjustments I make to the vehicle. If you are looking for a lifted monster with 37's or above then this build will not be for you.
A little back story. I am a long time Jeep owner going all the way back to the early 80's with the CJ 5 and 7 series, then I had a YJ, TJ and a few JK's along the way. I generally never lift them and mainly do cosmetic adds or functional adds that do not require a lift.. This is my daily driver and my off-roading is mainly limited to easy trails and every-so-often, I'll hit some moderate'ish trails. Nothing crazy and no rock climbing or extreme off-roading.
I've always been a fan of the older Broncos but never owned one. When I was in the market for a new vehicle this time, I did briefly consider a 2dr Jeep JL but really wanted the Bronco!
Purchased on 3/8/2024. It's a stock'ish Badlands model with the only factory adds being:
