Nice to have a buddy that knows how to do that (and presumably a good sized garage)

I've had KO2s on my 22 Badlands since new. They have been great in rain and snow and have lasted 45K miles and will be replaced this fall with KO3s. Tires rotated every 5K miles when I have an oil change done. They have balanced well, worn evenly, and have not spit rocks onto my doors. Sorry...

Did you do all the fluid changes yourself? If not, can you share where you got the work done and what it cost?

100% on these comments. 4 door badlands with high package. The manual is great as is the clutch. I have only driven manuals my entire life and this one is totally fine compared to the ones in my Acura Integra and BMW 330i. The hill assist is a nice feature if you haven’t driven a stick a lot on...

I also have a 22 Badlands, high package, still on the OG battery after 4.5 years and 44K miles. Sorry to the OP, that has gotta suck...

I was out of factory warranty but I purchased the extended warranty from Granger. My local Ford dealership (where I also bought my Bronco) said it was covered under the Granger extended warranty. Zero dollars. (I bought the zero deductible extended warranty)

Answering this after only reading through page 2. As someone whose only prior offroad vehicle was a 1998 Ford Explorer (when they actually had 4WD high and low, and not AWD) I strongly recommend going to the Bronco Offrodeo. It is free for new vehicle owners. For me it was a great way to learn...

That is a pretty slick setup. If it was out 2 years ago (or had found it 2 years ago). I could have saved a lot of money, but then I would be looking for a way to mount my hunting rifle... and still wouldn't have overhead storage for all my recovery gear. But seriously, it is a nice setup for...

Just saw this post today (7/22) and went onto the site, could not find this. They must've sold out of whatever inventory they had left over.

In his reddit post he says monthly oil changes (5K miles) and tuneups and spark plugs more often than factory intervals.

Do you keep the front panels in the back as well?

I have "window dressing" things I have added, just for personalization, but I don't consider those things "upgrades" I added both of these as well as side steps. But the upgrade I like the most is the Mountains2Metal flip down attic shelf. Got a lot of stuff off the rear floor of my Bronco...

You are probably an outlier when it comes to cross shopping a Wrangler with an R2. I believe the target cross shopper for the R2 is someone with a 4Runner, Subaru Outback, or Jeep Grand Cherokee and maybe Ford Explorer/Expedition. Mall crawler first and dirt road adventures second. Most folks...
