2024 Badlands Delivered. Stitched Dash Pad Photos

[Sandbergo]

If only my Bronco had the same digital instrument cluster as the new ranger!

I understand the want for the digital cluster but also would be apprehensive of having a digital cluster that could fail more likely than the current one. Just my thoughts. As for the stitched dash it looks nice.

Did we ever locked down a confirmation on the stitched dash part number and has anyone pulled the trigger on buying it?

The sandstone wildtrak interior is growing on me, was pretty much stuck with it with the OBX no longer offered with the 2.7L. I wonder if they’d do the dash in sandstone or invert the colours to have the dash bezel and airbag sand stone?

It’s really annoying how badly they neutered the OBX. It went from hero to zero in 2024.

I encourage you to force yourself to take some time away from enjoying that handsome truck and read as much as you can on these threads. A lot to learn to really equip, maintain, operate and enjoy a Sasquatch!
I'll start: the OEM tires ("Territories/Wranglers") are good all-around tires, excelling at most tasks but not perfect for everything. I.e. very good at off-road, but not the very best. One problem is that they are known "rock chuckers," and will grab and throw rocks. So look into mudflaps that you can use off-road, like RokBlokz (I have & endorse them) or GatorBacks (strong fan base on those).
They grab and hold rocks, but don't always throw them. I've had off-road situations where they stayed in the cleats, worked their way up through the ply and punctured the tire! I'm talking about well-maintained and graded dirt/gravel BLM roads. So it's necessary to air down to 20psi. Which means you need a compressor. Lots of strong opinions on that. I have the ThorsLightning, and endorse that product strongly. They have the only Bronco install setup, but you may want to just buy a good case and bring it as needed.
Find a Bronco or general 4x4 club and go on runs with people who can teach (and assist) you. (Several associated with Bronco6G.)
Then there's the issue of sufficient gas, water, camping gear, recovery gear, and all that. Start reading--don't let problem experiences be your only teacher! You'll enjoy Death Valley as very few can.

I agree with this post about the tires. I have the same model as you and went off-roading to a Tahoe trail I've done for decade in my old Forester with all-season tires. 2200 miles in on my Badlands SAS and I blew a tire from a rock puncture. I've learned the hard way I need to air down and have since bought an air compressor to take with me on these type of trips.

I have not felt up a different dash. There is not much padding at all, but it doesn't feel super cheap. It is better than my 2007 FJ Cruiser dash.

I was wondering the same thing. I could not tell if it was just molded or if it was padded. Looks really nice.

Are we still trying to determine the part number for the dash pad? Old colleague just bought a 2024 Badlands and got the new dash pad. Needless to say, I'm slightly jealous and want one for my 2022 if they aren't ridiculously priced

Page 2. Part number hasn't changed.

Really hoping the 2025 Badlands come with this darker, stitched dash. The Build & Price still shows the older lighter one.

Perfect. Thanks Matt.

It is a dark grey

Congratulations on the new boy toy. Might want to rethink your plans though. There are hardly any back country roads opened in DV since the summer rains.

Plenty of roads open in DV (I work there (and have a Badlands)). Titus Canyon, and Immigrant Canyon are the only main backcountry roads closed now. A few other bits and pieces (Lower Wildrose, Darwin Falls, last 1.6 miles of Cottonwood Canyon) are still closed but MOST of the park is open to play in!
