Yep, it was a Raptor: here's the link: Recovery Gone Bad!! Bumper Ripped Off Stuck Bronco ...YouTube · Five Angels Outdoor3.3K+ views · 3 months ago

Does anyone know if the factory modular bumper on a 2023 Raptor is the same factory setup as a Badlands? That is, do Raptors need the LOD brackets?

Does this mean we, with Broncos built on or before 12-Jan-2024, should all visit a Ford shop for a software update?

I am interested in your observation about water and the possibility of water intrusion. You speculated that the water came from A/C condensate. This is the strongest lead I have seen for this problem. I also flat tow my 2023 Badlands and I also and VERY worried about it. Thanks for your work...

Mine, too.

Happy Day! I opted for shipping rather than traveling to Danville. It worked. I got my Badlands a week ago and got my paperwork yesterday. The Bronco arrived in pristine condition. The driver was a young guy who seemed to know what he was doing. Good job SAC! I would do it again.

Well, I was willing to try the Blue Ox baseplate, but it does not get the job done in that the recovery point is gone. . I bought a Blue Ox adapter for the recovery point but this fits Jeep front end recovery points. It is about ⅜” too narrow for the Bronco recovery point. I am thinking about...

The loss of the recovery points bothers me so I reached out to eTrailer, then to Blue Ox. I asked if the base place could be used as recovery points. eTrailer said yes. Then Blue Ox said no. Here is the reply I got: I apologize for the incorrect information Blue Ox Towbars has given you...

I finally have my Bronco! I will look for get togethers.

I know this is a SAC thread, but I may be in this situation. I changed ZIP codes and Jeremy was having trouble with my PP certificate. Any comments?

Just out of curiosity, the air box on the Badlands has a drain hole. Is that true for the Everglades air box also?

Thanks for the reply. Us non-Loren Healy types still like off-Roading. I will be extra cautious rather than extra bold. Like they say about pilots: There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots. PS, from one service guy to another, thanks for your service!

Those who have taken a stock Badlands nonSaS off-road may have an opinion about how difficult a trail a stock Badlands can handle. I was looking at OnX Trail rating criteria at: https://www.onxmaps.com/offroad/app/features/technical-trail-ratings I am estimating that a 7-rated trail may be too...

My Oxford White Badlands has arrived today at SAC! I wonder how long dealer prep takes?

Thanks for the info. Rock Auto sells the parts for about $900. But, I don’t think I can get parts as soon as I need. And, I read concerns about the upper control arms so I will have more time to decide.
