in the bronco nation materials video and trail concept video, both mention the $995 wheels upgrade (non sasquatch) are bead lock capable. I think the build and price description is just missing that detail.
Yes, that's what I'm hoping as well. Good to know. Hopefully, they tie up these loose ends soon.

Do you mean that the hard top is prepped to receive the roof rack? Any closeup shots of how the roof rack attaches to the top?
I was told by the Ford guys at Supercel that in order to remove even the front panels the entire rack must come off because of clearance and that it is very quick.

Conflicting info now. This guy says the front panels can be removed without removing the rack. Skip ahead to the 4:40 mark.

From Ford:
Why do certain models prohibit some accessories?

..... We engineered Bronco for maximum off-road capability and GVWR restrictions may limit combinations of certain accessories.
This is 100% accurate. Nothing stopping you from putting a roof rack on aftermarket.

I trust the Ford engineer over the car salesman.

This thread implies it can be done.
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...of-rails-installed-rear-fold-down-seats.3172/

" The Cactus Gray Sasquatch Badlands Bronco shows that the front roof panel can be removed without removing the roof rack / rails. "

I have to find a twitter post someone mentioned in this thread, that also says it can be done.

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/2021-bronco-roof-rack.2836/page-2#post-104810

" Well after the Twitter AMA for the Bronco, it looks like only the roof panels above the front seats will be removable. On the 4 door the roof panel above the rear passengers cannot be removed with the roof rack installed. "

I am a little late to this one but I can build a Badlands with 2.7L, Sasquatch and roof rack with no problem. Maybe the bug is fixed!?

The B&P is 100% accurate, and has been since day 1. Everyone knows this..

If it says you can't do it. You can't do it.

I’m gonna buy a Yakima rack and install it myself. There’s nothing Ford can do to stop me either. Muhahaha.
