Badlands-SAS or no SAS

[Thingfish]

Pictures made me want SAS, once I saw our Badlands in person I thought it was perfect without SAS…

SAS will always look great, but BL had all the goodies I wanted and I prefer the stock tires on the BL for their durability. I may add 35’s later but different tires most likely.

I have similar build. Badlands SAS high pack. Confident everything works together as it should. No concerns for wheel rub, disgruntled employee doing shady install, or paying for labor costs to change stuff.

I am confident with my setup everything works together as it should and do you believe that Ford never has a disgruntled employee, I also payed high labor costs to have this thing built to begin with probably by some non high school graduate button pusher wearing a ford jump suit. I do all my own work and if I dont I inspect like I did and only have myself to blame if it fails do to setup and believe me I have a better track record than a large manufacturer

I went non Sasquatch.

I personally think the 2 doors look great on 33s.

Doesn’t mean I have canceled orders. I may have changed my order not canceled.

I don't care either way. Just thought it was funny seeing two Florida people bickering back and forth. Y'all know each other?
It's not even summer yet.

No

I went SAS, because I wanted the warranty option, and I knew I wasn’t planning on doing lifts, or suspension, so I was happy with how they offered a factory build like the badlands Sasquatch. I have the 2.7 with the auto and it’s just fun

If I were to do it now, I would have dropped the SAS as there are a good list of lift kits available now.

Yeah, you’re struggling…in 21 minutes you went from "I’ll keep SAS" to "I think I’ll drop SAS if….".!! Maybe I can help just a little. I have 2 Badlands, one 2dr and one 4dr. Both non-SAS. Badlands is the ultimate trim level, IMHO. I bought SAS takeoffs with less than 100 miles on them for both Broncos. There is not a better looking wheel on the planet, also IMHO.! This wheel/tire combo looks great with the standard flares. Both are the 2.3 engine, by choice. On the recent trip to Bronco Super Cel. East, the 2dr was sitting on 27MPG when we got home, filled up for $3.03 in Pigeon Forge, reset trip. Wife driving, following me in the RV going 55/65 MPH. Forscan corrected tire diameter (for the tech heads). This shared so you know the std BLands axle ratio yields great MPG. I easily keep it on 21 around home, rural area as well.

Looks like you replaced you 2dr wheels with the Wild Track wheels. Where did you get them?

totally agree.

They both look awesome but man that 2 door is just perfect.

Not everyone is confident, capable, or has the equipment to do things. Different wheels, sure, but gearing swap?
