If this turns out to be true that the 35 inch Goodyears are more AT than Mud terrain than I'm going 35. Just don't want to ride around on mud tires when I'll be in the mud next to never but I do need decent snow performance.

In that case you better make sure you get the washout interior!It has it's perks. I'm a civil engineer for a company that specializes in underground sewer installations. Some days are great but hours can be long and dangerous depending on the area. There are times where we are in teh middle of the road basically relying on the pedestrians not to kill us while they drive by. Other times I am down in sewers which can be live at times... anything you can think of and then some can float by you at any moment.

Those 35" tires don't look like MTs to me. They look more like "maximum traction".
Interesting. I was looking at the 4 door Base which comes standard with AT and 3.73.
Bringing this topic up to get some advice on this...
My Badlands 2.7L AT order is in and right now I'm going with the $995 upgraded 17" wheels with the 33" A/T tires. By default, it looks like it comes with the 4.46 ratio. In B&P, 4.7 can be added at no cost and I've seen a few posts where members have been able to order their BL without Sasquatch but with 4.7.
My questions are...
1) Is it actually no extra cost to change to 4.7?
2) What are the pros/cons between the two?
From earlier posts in this thread, it looks like MPG is negligible and there may be a difference in quickness from a standstill?

I think it's been proven that the 4.7 in the B&P is not happening. I ordered last week and was unable to do it. Only available with manual or Squatch. I think with the 10 speed and the 2.7, you will be trying to stop wheel spin more than not!
That makes the decision easier for me... good or bad.I think it's been proven that the 4.7 in the B&P is not happening. I ordered last week and was unable to do it. Only available with manual or Squatch. I think with the 10 speed and the 2.7, you will be trying to stop wheel spin more than not!
Sasquatch is cool looking for sure, but I also like the optional black rims with Carb Gray beauty ring and 33" A/T tires on a Carb Gray BL (my chosen color), it just looks too good to me and enough to pass on the Sasquatch and 4.7.
I'm looking to find a sweet spot between capable and good looking and I'm leaning toward this build without SASQ.
I've already changed my order once so for now, I'm going with this. ?

I went non sas with the optional wheels. While I expect a lot of people to love their 35” tires I’m willing to bet there will be many people who have buyers remorse.

I wanted a manual BL without squatch, so I am glad the 4.7 comes with it. I have a 2dr JK with 3.21 gearing that I put a AEV 3.5" lift on with KO2 35's I won at a raffle. It runs great, not sluggish, except on ascents on the highway. Since it is manual, I just lose 6th on the highway. I would have re-geared, but did not have money at the time.

I love them. I do not have anything to really compare them to, but they look good, have done well in mud and snow, and are quiet on the road. They don't seem to wear too quick either, since it is my DD.

I believe 4.7 option in B&P for non squatch is an error. When i converted my order last Friday, the dealer said he couldn't configure. If i wanted the 2.7 / auto on BL and the 4.7 gears i had to upgrade to full sas.
thank you Sir! I have 285/75/17 on my Wrangler (wit 2 inch lift) and my guess is that a Badlands suspension with the same size tire will be the right set up for me - beach cruising in off season, some dirt trails/roads and 95% pavement with a serious amount of highway!
