I did not, unfortunately. Got to Canyonlands late so really had to hightail to get to Airport/slightly beyond and back.
White Rim is freaking huge. I spent ~9 hours on it (including driving, getting out and walking, to certain vantages, pictures, etc) and only went about 1/2 the distance, turned around after scaling Murphy's Hogback, and went back.

It's such an awesome trail, knowing what I know now, I'd allot so much more time to it.

I write this from a hotel in Moab to report my ongoing and crazy cross-country roadtrip in my Badlands. I left Florida with 300 miles on the odometer, as of this moment 3,037.

Summary - this thing is awesome. It handles everything perfectly, on road and off. Ive even slept in it, very comfortably. I made it my mission to really test both myself and the bronco in as many conditions as possible and it truly has handled everything flawlessly. Its done mud, sand, rocks, water, snow/ice.

Big con - gas mileage. I get it, its a 4x4 yadda yadda yadda. But my god its rough...18.1 mpg despite every effort even on open roads to mitigate at no avail. West coasters with 80mph speed limit highways are going to suffer, seems 72/73 is the peak before the aero kills your mileage.

Ill do my best to update with new pictures as this is still an ongoing trip. If anyone has questions Id be happy to respond. Thanks all for the help/info throughout this experience.

Did you change the rims? Are those the Sasquatch flares or others? Is it Sasquatch, cause I really can’t tell? Great pics. Sounds like a blast!

Nope, originals but I plasti-dipped the rings matte black. Its holding up perfectly despite the abuse

How are you with the seat/steering wheel positioning and general comfort on longer drives? Any noticeable fatigue beyond what you expected?

You'd have no trouble with Murphy's Hogback or Hardscrable. I just did the White Rim last week in my Rubicon. STEEP! But easy peasy. I can't wait until I have my Badlands to do it again.

Great shots… Moab is incredible, just spent a week there living out of a buddy’s 1998 Land Cruiser (my Bronc arrived the week I got home)… question on sleeping in the bronco, fold back seats down but how did you level out the area to the trunk space?
