‘24 Badlands bought new off the lot 9/‘25. Always liked the simple elegance of a black on white vehicle.

Driving a 1985 F150 daily work truck with a five speed gearbox in rush-hour stop and go traffic cured me of manual transmissions as a daily driver. First gear was always a little too slow and second gear was a little too fast for the traffic. I get my manual transmission fix these days driving...

Yes! Was able to turn all-time-gear-indicator on in my 2015 Ford F150 with AT. Came in real handy, especially when using the paddle shifter driving in the mountains. On top of the inherent risk of running a Windows box to begin with. Should have my FC+ delivered this Thursday. Gotta feeling...

Exactly. If you already have the factory rock sliders, just add IAG steps or the factory-look $160/pair Mabett steps.

Oh yeah! On my F150’s I used to set off the panic buttons frequently in my pocket so I killed ‘em by Superglue. Worked for me.

Well worth the price to add Sport Mode to a ‘24 Badlands, not to mention disabling the double door chime, without having to buy a crappy windoze laptop just for FORScan! Ordered!👍

I have a 5’-1” tall girlfriend so I had the OEM running boards installed right after I bought my Badlands, but held onto the OEM rock sliders the Badlands came equipped with. Attending the Moab Bronco Off-Roadeo really drove home the point that the running boards were a liability for serious...

Yup! I’m 6’-3” and that’s what I do too, have the visor tilted toward me rather than up against the windshield. Tilted toward the driver also makes a little better sight-angle for seeing overhead stop lights. But, hey, some people miss the obvious…

I bet Bro HAS a 2 dr and is ownin’ it. Just saying.

Looking real good!! Would it be possible to post a couple of after pics of the areas that were cracked? Please report back after time goes by regarding how the Custom Coat has held up to fading and whether or not any of the cracks have telegraphed through the finish.

I am getting conflicting notices between the Ford App and Ford.com regarding the infotainment screen software update for my ‘24 Badlands. I was notified by the Ford App on my phone a month or so ago that a OTA software fix for the blank infotainment screen issue was available. (By the way my...

@DemonGT Broaddict Aluminum Pinch Weld Covers. They work with the factory running boards, but not enough clearance with factory rock sliders.

The Mabett front flaps perfectly touch the front of the factory running boards. In fact, the Mabett flaps were shipped with a sheet of adhesive-backed foam rubber that pieces can be cut from to provide a cushion/shield between the flaps and the fronts of the running boards. FWIW, the Mabett...

The other day I pulled up to the drive-thru at Culver’s for some ice cream in my Badlands with its doors off. My local Culver’s offers Jeep owners little ducks with the Culver’s logo as a promotion. The young gal at the drive-through window seeing the doors off, offered me a duck, so I guess...

Ok, now need to determine the best way to get at the door skin/crashbar junction to re-adhere…. Hopefully there’s a good shot at it with the door card removed and the window rolled up. I’ve used Franklin TiteBond gun adhesive to good effect with metals in the construction business, but never on...
