Hi - was just about to order these online. If still available, I’m interested. Would need shipping to So Cal. Thanks

Awesome write up - looks like an absolutely epic trip. Thanks so much for posting!

There’s a lot of discussion on this forum about Wildtrak v. Badlands. And full disclosure, I bought a Badlands, so I’m in ”that” camp. Someone else mentioned bash plates and how disco works. Given that fitting new plates and equipping disco (to a Wildtrak) seems a lot harder than equipping...

Hi OP - I’m linking a thread below that dealt with this exact topic. In short, it takes very little with main considerations being wheel offset and maybe a need for some minor suspension tweaks / upgrades. I haven’t made the switch yet, but when I do, I’m leaning spacer plus Bilsteins. The...

Marketing 101 = don’t ever give your competitors air time. This ad was an epic fail whether they meant to diss the Bronco or not. Absolutely correct

This is all good advice thanks everybody! Based on what I’m reading, I was missing the trick on wheel offset. It sounds like if I want to keep the stock wheels, I need a spacer or I need to replace the stockers with +30s or less. This pans out if I model the setup on Tiresize.com. In...

Hi all - thanks everybody for all the great advice and photos. I’m in the same boat as the OP - ‘22 non-sas badlands with the optional beadlock capable wheels (Manual transmission). My tires are nearing the end of their service life and I’d like to upgrade from my stock 32.5” KO2s to 35s. My...

Nobody has brought this up, so I guess I will. Would be happy if someone with more technical knowledge could expand on what I read, as follows: - while researching my wife‘s new “mild hybrid” Mercedes which utilizes a direct drive electric motor that somehow eliminates things like starters and...

Hey OP - this topic has been talked about a lot on this forum. Search around. My two cents - Ford did a great job with the 7MT - I’ve got one and it’s the best manual I’ve ever driven (and I’ve had lots of cars with MTs, including expensive sports cars). I also wheel and the MTs awesome off...

Great review thanks for posting. I’ve also got a manual badlands on upgraded Ford wheels. Was planning the same tire upgrade but am unsure about the lift (Both what kit to use and whether it’s necessary). What kit did you use and did you DIY or have it installed? Also did you consider 35x12.5?

I think that is probably right. I was out multi day wheeling recently with a group of 6 broncos. 3 were badlands, one was obx, one was BD, one was a Braptor. The BD had been self-squatched and the main complaint that owner had was lack of sway bar disconnect. Having disco just adds an extra...

Hey OP - you’ve done a fair amount of off roading with your Badlands. Not sure if this was first time stuff or if you’re a seasoned hand, but seems to me you’ve gotten use out of your sway bar disconnect and your bash plates and probably your rock rails, not to mention your front locker...

Wow. Super rig. I’ve not been a big fan of the stock Braptor but with that wrap and those 40s it finally looks just awesome. Well done and enjoy!
