My Badlands Sasquatch build so far...

[EOSeabee]

So, I've had my 2022 Badlands Sasquatch for just a bout a year now. I've done mostly small stuff to it, but I just recently installed a new bumper and winch. The bumper is from Maxlider. The reason I went with this is because it came with the front skid plate AND ACC relocate. Every other bumper I've looked at, you had to get the skid plate and ACC relocate separately. The winch is a Warn 12s. The bumper is already setup to accommodate the winch, so I didn't need to buy a mounting plate. I also got a set of lights for the bumper.

Install came out excellent! The shop had to call Maxlider a few times during the day for help though. NO instructions come with the bumper. At the moment, my proximity sensors are acting up a little. The shop suggested I might need to have them calibrated to the new bumper. The ACC works fine though.

Also, I just got a set of Method Bead Grip wheels. Went out today and aired them down to 11 psi and hit the trail. Wheels performed perfectly with the stock Good Year 35's.

Other stuff I've done: rear shock skid plates, rear diff skid plate, Trailrax Half rack, (although I wish I'd gotten the full rack), Archetype Racing dash rail and center console grab handle, and some small stuff from Buck your Bronco.

The rear shock skids and rear diff skid are from Next Venture. Really happy with these. They’ve taken some hits.

Also, I installed some Heretic Ditch lights. These are awesome! Very bright.

And Mountains 2 Metal items:

I got their passenger-side molle panel so I could mount my jack inside the vehicle.

My compressor is on a custom mount, but I’m seriously considering mounting it in the spare tire mount.

I got the tailgate molle panel using my Ford Pass points. I also got the bikini top, but the first time I used it, one of the straps came unsewed from the top, so that was a waste.

I looks great. That was the bumper I initially wanted as I think it's the best looking one. Just got the Methods with Bead grip as well, but haven't tried them out yet. Thanks for sharing your experience with them!

Have to ask about the small molle rack on the raised portion of the tailgate. Never seen that before. Is it included with the larger one or something you bought separately?

I got it from Buck Your Bronco. The way it’s mounted seems pretty flimsy, but it’s held up during a few trails so far.

Thanks, happy trails!

Can you please post more pics of the bumper from dead on from the front directly and from the side? I have the Maxlider rear bumper and I am thinking of adding the front, replacing the mod front bumper.

Great looking rig!!! I like the bumper... nice and tight.

That's a good-looking bumper. Were did the ACC get relocated to? In the grill or on the Bumper itself?

In the bumper. If you look at the driver’s side of the front of the bumper, you can see a spot that’s off-color. That’s the ACC.
