Yeah, I’d do it. Also plan to do the same with my Bronco whenever it arrives. Have a 20’ Scout on a tandem axle trailer. Estimated load is 4-4,500lbs. Not worried about it

JLWranglerForum I’m active on there as well (mainly because I’ve got a JL Rubicon Ecodiesel ordered as well as a 22’ Bronco). Good forum and tons of helpful knowledge

Because sometimes creeks/mud holes are deeper than they look

I stand corrected

It’s relatively easy to extend the diff breathers/transmission/transfer case breathers on your own. Air intake is from the fender well I’m pretty sure. I’m sure someone will make a snorkel eventually. It would be prudent to apply dielectric grease to electrical connectors under the vehicle...

Really hope Ford puts the disconnecting swaybar on this one too...I know it’s a “desert runner” but the disco swaybar would be awesome. And the Badlands skid plates/rock rails. Do Hell‘s Revenge in the morning and bomb the whoops in the afternoon :cool:

You can change your order until your VIN is assigned. When the 22’ order banks open I’m going to change my order.

One reason I personally 99’d my order as well is I don’t want a model year 21’ vehicle at the end of 2021...I want a MY22. I’m also doing a major 180 on my build decision so there’s that too. It would have shoved me to 22’ anyways. Going from 4 door to 2 door, Lux to Mid and 2.7/10 speed to...

What Ford *should* have done is put the radar sensor in the windshield ala Jeep. Their adaptive cruise sensor is below the rearview mirror. Lower front bumper is a terrible place for it. This same sensor is on every single Bronco (part of the auto emergency braking BS). The camera relocation kit...

Just curious when to expect the 2022 order banks to open. This summer or later this fall?

Oh I have. I’m on the JL Forums too. Already have a laundry list of stuff I’m gonna preemptively fix on the Jeep in the first month. Hinge corrosion prevention, seal the locker sensors, make the Rubicon hood vents functional, etc. I’m betting that the Bronco is gonna have similar locker issues...

No adjustability

Had a 4dr Badlands 2.7 Sasquatch on order...but you all know how the delays are currently. Ordered a diesel Jeep Rubicon and shoved the Bronco order to 22. Got to thinking that I really don’t need two 4 door offroad SUVs in the driveway, but I still want a Bronco. Did some more reading and...

So 37x12.50s should work on factory SAS wheels with a 3” lift and new UCA’s? They have a +30 offset. Mentally planning out the build now 😂 Also, X2 on the front swaybar quick disconnects. Definitely bring those to market for the non Badlands crowd.

Any plans for bolt on frame mounted rock sliders? I personally prefer those to rocker mounted ones. Also is the rear bumper going to be offered with both parking sensors and non-parking sensor versions? Leaning towards a base Badlands and don’t want extra sensor holes since I won’t have any...

Very similar to the JKS JL offerings. If someone made one with the disconnect on the bottom underneath the a-arm then you could disconnect and lift up on the swaybar once disconnected to pull the link out of the arm and velcro the swaybar link to the bar. Or you could use the top nut as the...

Pleased to see the CV angles aren’t bad at all with the 3” lift. Should still get some decent downtravel out of this setup. Someone needs to take a page from the Jeep world and come up with quick disconnects for the front swaybar links ala the JKS ones available for the Wrangler. Looking forward...

This is the way. I’m sure AEV will have a pre-filter to go with the eventual Bronco snorkel. Cheap and easy way to add extra insurance is add a pre-filter over the stock air filter. Always keep a spare filter onboard if in extremely dusty conditions.

That’s a lot of stress on the pinion teeth...impressive. Note: Don’t back up hard obstacles in your personal Bronco and don’t snatch people backwards with your front tow hooks. Always recover vehicles in drive if you have to. Less stress on the ring & pinion teeth

I booted myself to a 22’ cause it was unlikely I was seeing mine this year even with a soft top...SAS, Lux and tow constraints 🙄 Might go through with it next year but if I’m really digging the Jeep then I’m not going to. Ordered a JL Rubicon with the Ecodiesel Thursday. Got my VIN today. Say...
