Rubicon's also on my list - I have a '22 Badsquatch, stock. @RandallLG do you think the stock armor's good enough? I worry about the factory sliders that are merely attached to the pinchwelds. If anyone's ready to tackle the Rubicon in a few months' time, let me know.
Are those Everglades rims? I need myself a set - are they available from Ford?
BTW, I love the baby blue color - Ford should do more of these retro colors, including a light sage green, etc. Cactus Grey is the closest in spirit to the vintage colors, and I would've chosen it if my dealer hadn't...
Thanks for the results from your ACC - that's a relief. I'm also curious about the camera relocation - please keep us posted, and thanks, @Blaylock1988.
Please post your test results here, thanks in advance.
I also checked out JCR's winch mount, but at $699, vs. RC's $209.95, the choice is obvious. I hope that the JCR relocation bracket works well for the RC mount, as that'd be my ideal setup as well.
I've also researched the Ford Performance...
@Blaylock1988 Thanks for posting your thoughts and photos. I also have the LUX package, so will have the same issue with the front camera - have you found a camera relocation kit that could work? Also, how's your Adaptive CC working? with the mount installed? Tnx.
Any more news/progress on the RC mount install?
Regarding the JCR mount, the slot that the ACC sensor peeks through is pretty short - I wonder if that'd affect the radar's performance? Has anyone had experience with the JCR mount?
I'm leaning towards a Warn winch with control box relocate...
Well, if August works better for most folks, let's pen a date now - I'm fairly free that month.
In SD right now, and excited to hit Ocotillo SVRA (for the first time) in a couple of days :-)

Sounds great! HH is a nice one-day jaunt. I'm currently free the 7/4 weekend, as well as the one following - will one of these days work for you guys? Bring your FRS/GMRS radios for some fun bantering on the air.
Anyone else care to join? Let's start some sort of an annual July 4th Bay Area...
@RandallLG I see. My Badlands comes with the Modular bumper and LUX package, with sensors which I'd like to retain - I'm looking for a bumper/winch solution which keeps those sensors/camera working. I believe that Hefty Fabworks has something in the works, but looking for other options as well.
@RandallLG Sounds like a nice run, and hope that you had that check engine light issue resolved.
Interested in what your winch setup looks like - do you have the Modular Bumper to start? That's what I have currently, but not sure what winch platform to buy - aiming for a Warn Zeon 8K.
@jasonf The Rubicon something that I'd like to do with experienced wheelers, but I only got my Bronco "Badsquatch" yesterday, and don't know the rig well enough yet to attempt anything serious. I may be ready early next year - keep me in mind for a group run, please.
Just picked up my School-Bus yellow 4D 2.7L Badlands yesterday (we've named it "Bus"), and wow am I impressed with the features and how it drives.
I'm heading down to San Diego in it for a week - does anyone have recommendations for light-duty trails down there? I don't want to go...
