Don’t go trying to talk sense into people, it’s a forum. I think most folks see it and picture the great wide open ripe for adventuring but more often than not end up having it be their daily driver with options that are way overkill. Being honest, the OBX trim is more than adequate for what we...

I used to think the same thing about it but thenI realized how many times the wife and I took the Freedom panels off her JK (3 times in 5 years) and how many times we took the whole top off (0 times in 5 years). Reason? I hate lugging the stupid panels around, and no matter how careful I was...

This page sure died down after they released the survey pricing. Shame the original page got shut down. I was able to confirm my Badlands build falls within the range I expected it to, so I’m happy there. Wouldn’t mind building it out for visual sake, as mentioned. Guess we’ll see how soon soon...

@enro the connections are weather sealed and the chassis sits under a fairly uniform piece of the dash so it would be difficult for any water to get into sensitive areas of the head unit.

@buzpro Most of the dash sits under the overhang of the windshield. Shouldn’t be an issue. They’re built for this.

Nailed it

It has been made to be water and splash resistant, not water proof (no submerging.) I left my old YJ out in a storm when I was at work years ago, drained the standing water and shop vacced out the rest at a nearby car wash and it was good to go. Good thing about Bronco is if you jump in with wet...

Wide mud tires with no siping will not be great in the snow and slush on the roads. The wide footprint makes you go on top of the muck instead of cutting through it. Lived in MA for 35 years before moving to AZ. Manageable if you drive like a sane person but there are few people in MA that fit...

It will not. You will have to add the auto as well if your current VEH doesn’t have it standard.

I’m aware, but you’re looking at that from a manufacturing standpoint because it favors your point of view. Try buying 5 beadlock wheels, 5 35” tires mounted and balanced and getting a front and rear ring and pinion installed for less than $2500 AFTER purchase, all while maintaining your factory...

I don’t disagree, that’s why I never intended to get it on the BL trim. Spec’d mine out yesterday and factoring in the Granger discount my build will be a few bucks under $50k before tax and destination. Right where I wanted to be. Also, everyone seems to forget that Ford has no obligation to...

I would add for point 2 that Ford performance has a 50 state and warranty legal tune that gets you the same power as the v6 and 5 star truck has one that gets you closer to 400. Save the weight and complexity and stick with the 2.3

Don’t forget a new front and rear ring and pinion to get you the 4.7 final drive for squatch.

Also has a different ring and pinion ratio for the front and rear to get the 4.7 final drive gearing. All together it starts to add up. 5 beadlock wheels, 5 35” tires and a front and rear ring and pinion upgrade for $2500 actually makes more sense than when I first saw it and thought the same...

Don’t believe Ford has a 2 door soft top currently.

I definitely agree, don’t get me wrong, just trying to offer a possible perspective as to why it is what it is. For all we know BNP could go live and it will be completely different pricing on it than what we think it is now. For better or for worse.

If I still lived in the northeast, I would absolutely have it for winter time. Living in the desert now, so for me it became less of a necessity.

A Ford employee at the employee QnA was asked the exact question and was told the only difference is 10mm in travel difference for the non Squatch version of the setup due to the slightly smaller tires. Look at the model comparison under HOSS with position sensitive dampers i.e. the suspension...

Very true, the wonder of the forums. 5 questions asked 50 different ways with a hundred different answers.

Nope. Remember you’re one of hundreds of thousands that have done the exact same thing. You’re in the same boat as the majority.
