If you want the mid package with the manual (YAY) you need to go Badlands. If you want the mid package with the automatic (BOO) you can go with the BD...

That was my dilemma - Badlands is out of my price range, so I chose the manual over the mid package on my BD. I'm only 30 years old and still energetic with two good knees, so I'm no ready to give up on enjoying my three-pedal driving just yet.
I made the exact same choice you did, though I'm 45 with two less than good knees.

I could not give up the manual. Just couldn't do it. And couldn't give up Mid either. Had no choice but to go BL.

The front diff and upgraded axle isn't what grinds my gears, it is the disconnecting stabilizer bar. I just don't believe that it won't be a weak point in reliability. That kinda stuff usually is. But hopefully if I never use it, it will never go bad... I don't think I will ever go rock crawling, but I will be driving over nasty county roads to get to good fishing and hunting spots. Probably will never fully appreciate the suspension benefits of the BL over the BD, but I will have heated seats and a 3rd pedal on the floor...
I completely understand and support that rationale. I’m fortunate to have other cars that are manual, so it made my compromise easier. But if I didn’t have the other cars, I’d have done exactly what you did.

This is one of my favorite pictures of the non-Sas BD. It's exactly how my build will look when I take delivery in 10'ish weeks. I even have the hood sticker on order.

I just drove my 2Dr BD 100 miles back from the dealership. Rode great, but heard the grabbers kick up a few rocks into my doors…😞

Loving my new Black Diamond. It really does seem like sweet spot in the lineup, but I am biased. Took a road trip to the beach this weekend and two of my kids, and one dog, rode with me. Knowing I had the MGV seats and washout interior was like having "kids spill shit" insurance. lol.

Also, the 2dr non-sas BD sits plenty tall way better in person than in photos. The scale in person just looks proper.

You know when you were a kid, got something special, and then could not wait for a show-n-tell?

Well, I got a my picture from Ford this morning and just have to share it. The only thing missing is the roof rack, gets added after the assembly line. Should be delivered to Colorado by month-end. CANT WAIT!

I changed to a soft top... and still waited. But now I think I want to buy the hard top, too.

Ordered the retro sport badge from CJ pony parts and had A1 engraving shave the Sport off and engrave the Black in the font...
