Gotta also think, does everyone who gets a raptor use it to its full potential? Sometimes itās nice to have nicer things and if the package you want comes with something you wonāt use necessarily, does that make you not want your package ?
This is where Iām at... Badlands ... you essentially donāt have to touch, tech, looks or suspension wise plus you get a manual with everything that a SAS is... and so what is the disco wonāt be utilized full... canāt imagine the sway bars on rubicons I see around are used to their full...
Even without myself using this as a DD... 44 out the door with not much to touch to have fun and have a long term vehicle that I enjoy... thatās pretty reasonable. I know a friend that uses her new JL as a DD and opted up to 60k...
I would love at other vehicles but they arenāt as versatile and...
Yea itās about 1300 difference but I fee the nice small upgrades the badlands offers covers that.. head lights, rear bumper, dash, goat modes, wheels,
I know its going to come down to personal opinion and B&P but give me you 2 cents
Bandlands + MID = 43,829 (xplan) -
(-) No 2.7 engine (even though I dont feel like ill need it for my needs (plus would opt to tune the 2.3 down the road) , need to swap out the 33in tires for 35s...
What did you decide.
After the Math Im thinking a Badlands + MID is the way to go.
If you go with Black Diamond + Mid + SAS --- the price is about 1300 less but you miss out on upgraded bash plate, head lights, dash....
Can then just run the 33s or swap them out ASAP........and You keep the...
my build, badlands but will add 35s after i run through the 33s....
Badlands + MID after all of the math.... still manual... fun toys and still under 44k.
Need to consider rehearing for the 35s... Iām in the same boat and hopefully it isnāt 5k... but at the end of the day itās under warranty and some extra off road specific functional swag that is the SAS... willing to drop down in trim to make the $ work (most likely)...
Beast and the way you...
Kind of in the same boat but thinking of what can be changed aftermarket without going hard on the warranty.. BB + 2.7+ mid+ SAS=== can upgrade seats with katskinz... headlights, grill, top down the road much more easily...
just puzzle piecing
Iām tempted to go with OB or BD and simply Do aftermarket lift, tires.
new to the world... how much would be ballpark ?
would grew up 5k for something on it
very good to know, and you must have the 2.7...
it being a two door and doing a tune later... that kind of has my vote after hearing that price.... can mod an engine.
In a similar boat ... will see when BandP goes live but really...
Vinyl would be no w but Iām in AZ.. so cloth Iām ok with, my current ford cloth seats hold up great and cloth wonāt burn w 100 temps.
price dependent Iām more leaning towards BB+ Sasquatch + mid + v6 (maybe?)= daily driver (swap...
Curious ,
from Someone who has not owned a Landrover but obviously can see some quality within their products,
What are the issues that you have had with them or had friends have with them? Not saying Iām jumping ship but Iām doing my do diligence.
problems ? Pros cons? Experiences ?
