Recomendations for buying a used Bronco for offroad use?

Thanks for the offer. But I have 1 wife, 3 kids and 2 dogs ...at the moment, so need a 4 door/5 seater. If I get divorced I'll get back to you. LOL

Oh, I’m not selling. Just recommending the BadSas Hoss 3.0 combo. But it maybe depends on the terrain you’ll be hitting. In Utah, it feels necessary. In SoCal, maybe not so much.

I'm not a hard core off roader just to get to the places I want to go have to pass the gatekeepers.
Yep we go to Utah, Nv, Az, NM, So I'd prob need clearance and option to do lift.
Try to stay in the herd. Friends do Rubicon, John Bull, Gold Mountain Bear Pass etc. I skip those. LOL
Yes on my F150 I Tested approch angle, breakover, and departure with my Icons on 33.4 RG's ,on the funnel going into Sand Hollow Uyah. Hit all 3. LOL Before I went to 35's, prob still would scrape.
But, Sand Hollow, Toquerville Fals, Virgin River, Zion, all amazing. Saw desert tortoise for first time there, will never forget that day.

OK, I think I found my '24 unicorn...
Lets see if the wire transfer goes through tomorrow and all the papers are done and deal is closed....They said it was. And my wife isn't upset I went a little overbudget. Yay !!
ugh, a little nervous and super super stoked.

Which trim did you go with?

Sounds like you have a few vehicle options, so if I'd seen this thread earlier would have said to go with as cheap as possible, then add what you wanted, so not a base, but maybe ensure you got a rear locker and the advanced transfer case. The latter is perhaps the most important, yet overlooked upgrade from the factory. As other said, you can add a front locker along with installing an ARB twin for it and airing up. Then, grab whatever suspension upgrade you want along with tires.

Having the FP steering rack stock also saves some headache, but the would mean at least a 2024 Badlands, which is never a bad idea, but costs more of course.

Update us once you pick up your new toy and get ready to enjoy since you'll now be able to do much more than when in the F-150.
