My bumper-to-bumper warranty expires in March.

Still satisfied and haven't had any major issues...yet.

Sadly I don’t. But it’s the only trim that will out-wheel mine. Badlands doesn’t even come close to keeping up.
Outer Banks > Wildtrak > badlands

oh I get it now!
”Outer Banks” is 10 letters.
”Wildtrak” is 8 letters, but the “W” is double, so it’s 9.
”Badlands” is 8 letters
10 > 9 > 8

Bridgeport is fun for sure! Just out of curiosity, why did you say you would have went iconic silver for the paint. Anything special about it??

Because I like it better.

Just wanna say when u said you downgraded to a BL, I disagree. The BL is better all around compared to WT

The e-disco is a longterm liability.

How many miles do you have on it?
Glad you’re enjoying it. Loving mine also. 20 months in and 23k on it now.

Just rolled over 36k.

Had a front axle and diff replaced. Missing a diff bolt, they say. Not enough wacka-wacka or chug-chug that day on the line, I s'pose.

Well, hopefully mine was built the day after yours. So far, all the wacka-wacka and chug-chug was applied.

Seems a big of unga-unga too. Se giddy-ups.

I originally ordered a WT. But then I downgraded to a BL w/Sas on the actual order, since I'm not a speed guy. The 2.3l was good enough for me.

That is not a downgrade! That is a cross-grade.

Except BL has the better interior just sayin

I wasn't going to stir the pot by suggesting the Badlands is better, but I won't disagree with you.

I didn't think the wash-out interior was going to be as useful as it is. I thought it was one of those things that sounds good on paper, but you never really use. But a weekend playing around in the red sands of Utah proves its worth. And the MGV seats are great, too.

It was a "downgrade" because I went from the 2.7 to 2.3 and saved a few thousand.

And one of the dumber things I've done in my Bronco, "hay y'all, let's do a buggy stunt but in my Bronco!!" When the people on the buggy's are coming back down the hill to watch that crazy Bronco, maybe I should've thought a little bit more about it. But, I survived. Somehow.



I was infamous at Bridgeport for turning that triangular rock. The correct approach was a steady low-speed drive through the obstacle, which I very much violated and y'know, poured pepper and spice on. Inside the cab I thought I was cooked, but I only broke a single mount for the engine plate.

What you don't see behind Eddie is the 8-10 folks who walked down the hill to see the Bronco do the buggy stunt. I was glad to be done with it when I got through, but that group was like, I can't believe a Bronco even tried.

It's not shown in the video, but I did get through it right after the video stopped. I can't remember his name, but thank you for recording that and sharing it afterwards.

Other than being loose what was so hard about that obstacle?

Squirrels with lazers. Video never captures it.
