BDS offers a nice UCA with rubber bushings w/o need for greasing. Others offer a poly joint with grease fittings.
Thoughts on pros/cons of either choice other than the obvious (you can grease the poly)
Still new in box so no pics of āon my Broncoā but you can research images for this rack. New in box, stored in my garage and waiting for a good home.
This rack is one of the original 100 racks sold and will be 4ā vertically shorter than what you can purchase today. Reason for making rack taller...
Iāve been anticipating this for a very long time. Then I saw the SEMA video showing on their Recovery/Test Bronco and got even more excited. Any word on release date and please please I hope the rear springs are setup for Overlanding/Weight of bumpers, RTT, racks, fridge, etc etc in the back.
Iām contemplating the necessity of replacing the 2 rear links with adjustable components. If my use is primarily Overlanding with 35s and hauling weight (bumpers, rack, tent, etc) do you think these parts are helpful/necessary? Traction bar?
Iāve seen so many pics of the Badlands non-SAS wheel and am confused as to the color of the beauty ring. The pics below show several versions but none of them appear to match the pic that has Bronco6G in the pic. Can you help me understand if there were 2 or more versions? This pic with 4 in it...
Anyone tried/succeeded to use these wheels with 37s and what kinda lift and spacers did you have to use?
Their offset is +55mm and the ideal offset for 37s is 0mm-ish. I know it would take 2ā spacers to be equivalent but Iām not a fan of over 1.5ā spacers.
In preparation for my new tent Iād like to offer my current unused roof top tent. Bought from Freespirit along with annex and installed at their shop, drove home and life changed, so tent came off and has sat covered in my garage ever since. In brand new condition. Is a great tent, inside...
Iām looking at suspension options for Overlanding, hauling weight of aftermarket bumpers, rack, RTT, etc etc and know OME offers kits for Light, Medium, Heavy. I would get the Heavy kit but my buddies are steering me towards Bilstein 6100. I suspect the springs that come with 6112 are not near...
Still waiting for my Bronco but have always loved the ARB Summit bumper and would like to start a pic/experience thread for anyone to chime in, share pics, experiences, likes, dislikes of this bumper and any affect on front end weight/suspension concerns. I will share a dream pic of my future...
Anyone added these and your likes/dislikes? Would you rather trail debri hits the OEM taillights or corner of your Bronco with these flush lights?

Now that the racks are in the hands of many (mine still in garage in box due to no Bronco), letsā see some of your favorite pics using the rack in the wild. Talk about what you like and donāt like.
My dream build pic with photoshopped GOBI to start this off
Letās see them pics!!! š
I will start my personal build thread even before I have Bronco in my hands. Itās been a journey to get to this point, starting my obsession in 2020, selling my built 4Runner in 2021, ordering Bronco BL-SAS Feb 2022, tweaking order a few days later, then this FORD debacle forcing me to update my...
So today I had to change my Badlands Sasquatch and remove SAS package. In doing so I switch to the subject named wheel of which Iāve learned has offset +55. Has anyone tried 37s on this wheel with a decent lift? An offset of +55 seems daunting as 37s your really need 0 or -XX. Any pics...
Iām being asked to remove SAS option from my orde therefore I need to understand if there will be suspension upgrade challenges. I had always planned to upgrade suspension but what Iām confused about is why does a non-SAS need a larger lift than SAS? I would think once you remove coils from...
With the recent FORD constraints, itās likely Iāll have to remove the SAS package which converts me from 4.7 to 4.46 gears. It was my plan to run 37s so Iām asking
1) what are affects if I donāt change gears and are these negative
2) if you changed gears, did you have FORD do or?
They quoted...
Had some great conversations with the founder and am really liking their in-house products (bumpers) but before I consider giving them my hard earned money, need some feedback from you guys who have dealt with them or know anything. Iāve compared to other similar products and many details about...
Anyone done or seen a BR Abram wheel installed on spare and found solution for camera? Apparently with the offset (-18) the camera is partially or mostly hidden. Of course you could cut a hole in the BR center cap, but the hiding aspect is something to solve.
I know these aren't that old "for the Bronco" but has there been any concerns/issues that would make you think twice investing in a step/slider that has built in mechanism. I know severe rock sliding/slamming could damage these but I'm more interested in Overlanding Use and if anyone has...
Opinions on the best coilover upgrade from Sasquatch to handle weight of gear, roof top tent, long on/off road trips, washboard roads, and potentially pulling an Overlanding trailer (Patriot X1N)
Coilover Options Iām thinking about:
4WP adjustable
KING w/ adjustable reservoir
Fabtech...
