Shh- Don’t tell Ford—OEM Roof Rack on 2.7 Badsquatch

[Baja71]

Ordered and installed OEM roof rack for my 2.7 Badsquatch. Bestop Bimini also installed under roof! I like the ability to still be able to remove the front roof panels with Bimini and roof rails!

Definitely “compatible!” Not in compliance with GVWR….yeah right…..

I’ve got a Carbon Gray Badlands on terminal order but these pics make me glad I switched from my signature black choice. I also like that you went with a chrome Bronco script. I probably would have done black had I not seen how much better this looks.

All it means is that you can't fully load the rack if you need to use it. If you don't run max weight on the roof it'll be under the threshold. Looks good

Surprised the same people who go on and on about how removing the crash bars is bad aren’t in here flaming you right now.

4 DR FE… fits lol. I was going to argue if it didn’t and they didn’t accept return that…
“It only said badlands with the 2.7”

I just don't get why Ford isn't running the rack all the way to the back of the four door. It just looks so odd ending up short like that.

I agree but it's presumably a weight rating or safety thing

for those who own the roof OEM roof rack, how do you like it?

Fits great and no remarkable wind noise…..i have only strapped on surfboards. The rack is solid feeling.

I was wanting to put an overland tent on mine. Is the OEM rack good for that?

A safety thing, no big deal... Do you ever wonder how much of the $60,000 vehicle cost gets budgeted per car by Ford for legal fees? I would guess there is a fixed percentage automatically added-on per vehicle type.

That cost is also built into the cost of the roof rack for the idiots who will overload them, roll the vehicle doing a panic stop from 80 MPH and then blame Ford.

Now, I fully believe everyone should be able to do what they want to a vehicle until it becomes a hazard to others. As you are adding weight above the roof, you are raising the vehicles center of gravity AND decreasing its stability.
Just be careful and understand the dynamics.
