Well, Capital Ford certainly made that easy. Test driving the 4dr manual Badlands this Friday at 11. I’ll be sure to play with different GOAT modes, see how/if it lugs when driving normally, see what the highway RPMs are like, etc. I’ll also check the crawler gear/4 low and some other stuff if I...

I’m thinking of scheduling a test drive there as well. Really want to test the manual before I make a final decision. Only thing is I live 2 hours east of Raleigh so a quick test drive becomes a full day endeavor

Since these things are slowly trickling out, interested to hear real world feedback on the 2.3/7spd combo. Looking forward to ordering a ManSquatch in 22’ but in the meantime owner reviews will hold me over! Likes, dislikes, clutch feel, highway and passing power, let’s hear it

X2. I’ve wheeled Rausch before. Some of those trails are no joke

If you wheel in rocky areas, the underside of your Bronco will look like this too, spotter or not. Price of admission. Just touch up any scraped areas with some black enamel paint and don’t stress over it

You are the man! 4WP bumpers are one of the first things I’ll be putting on my Bronco:cool:

@dirtstar2002 Please please please bring a set of quality quick disconnect swaybar links to market for all the non-Badlands folks! I know I’d personally drop down to a Black Diamond Sasquatch if I could get a set of quick disconnects in the future for my Bronco. Simpler & less points of failure...

I’d drive the hell out of that. I’ve got a Gecko Jeep Rubicon on order...should be here in August. I’m strongly eying Velocity Blue and Cyber Orange for my 22’ ManSquatch...but if Ford brought out this lime green I’d definitely do it

X2. Need moar reviews of the 7spd! I wonder if Ford is gonna change the gearing for the ManSquatch in 22’. Jeep recently announced 4.88 as a 22’ option which will give them a 100:1 crawl ratio with their manual. Ford doesn’t like to be outdone...I’d like to see 4.88s paired with the ManSquatch...

Premium. Gimme all the powaaaa

Please post a first impressions/ride review thread when you have time to do so! Enjoy your new ride :cool:

If it has the swaybar disconnect I’ll give it a hard look. If not it’ll have to be a Badlands

Are the SAS fender flares matte black? Or are the Carbonized Grey like the MIC top? I wonder how the Mod top will match their color...

Well the new Ford 7.3 V8 is a start. Pushrod, no cylinder deactivation, port fuel injection. If one’s looking for a longevity based powertrain that’s the one to pick.

29, no kids. Originally ordered a 4dr. but 99’d my order and will change to a 2dr. ManSquatch 😎

Fair point. While I do appreciate modern tech/features on vehicles today I don’t like how that same tech basically turns them into a throwaway commodity past ~10 years. Close family friend still has a 2000 Ford Excursion V10 that I sold them a few years back. Runs like a top with basic...

Hybrid longevity remains a sticking point for me. I don’t think we’re gonna see old F150 Powerboost’s on the road in 10-15 years. They’re going to have expensive battery replacements and I’m almost certain out of warranty electrical issues are going to be a sticking point for lots of early...

To run 40s properly...while keeping the IFS functional and retaining the benefits of the Bronco over a Jeep, start thinking along the lines of this build: If you’re gonna go for a solid axle swap, just start with a Jeep. Known quantity, bolt in Dana 60s, etc

Let’s see how 37s/38s fit & hold up on these before we start talking about 40s...if you actually plan on wheeling it you’re gonna be spending quite a pretty penny on axle and steering upgrades. Beefed up tie rods, ball joints, front CV axles, chromoly rear axle shafts, etc. Dana 44s on the JL...

39” KM3s are measuring out at 37.5-38” under most 4dr Jeep Rubicon’s I’ve seen them on. Most 37s run closer to 36” under 4dr JLs and 37” KM3s are closer to 35.5” It might not seem like it, but 2” OD in tire size is a big deal in this case and the planned 3-4” lifts for the Bronco. You will need...
