That was a good honest frank review. Thank you. I drive a pretty modified JKUR on 35's. There's a lot of road miles to get to my favorite off road place. I bought the Badlands/SAS to be comfortable on the road getting out there, but reasonably capable off road too. My jeep likes off road...

I agree! I own a JK Rubicon on 35's and one of the best features I was sure to order on my Badlands/SAS was the trail camera. The camera will be unbelievably helpful on rocky trails like in the video and my passengers will complain less when I don't kick them out of the Jeep to spot me.

Truth!!! I have a JK Rubicon Unlimited, and in 100K miles, I've had the windshield fully replaced 3 times and rock chips repaired more than a dozen times. The Phoenix area is terrible for stray rocks on the highways because of all of the construction, but rest assured, there will be a lot of...

Terrific thread! Thanks for taking the time to air it out. I also have a JKUR on 35's with a Badlands/SAS on order so I appreciate the Jeep Vs Bronco comparisons.

Great question! Buy a Badlands and they take Sport mode away?#! WTF

Yes he did. I enjoyed the video though. I have a JK Unlimited Rubicon with 35's (Pentastar 3.6L 6 cylinder). The best I can get is 15 to "maybe" 16 MPG. I bought a Badlands/SAS because the 35's really help with off road performance and I expect the IFS to be much better than my Jeep on road...

Now you're talking! It's massively important to me. I don't want to have leave my Bronco Badlands/SAS in the driveway and instead take my Rubicon on trips where the winch might be needed (which is nearly every damn trip I do as the key word is "might"). I'm already a "99" in the Granger...

I could accept that plate on the front of the winch if it's for the radar antenna preserving the ACC ...

EXACTLY. I own a heavily modified manual Rubicon on 35's. It's really a pain off road after a while. And if you think that's bad, try driving it in traffic. New autos are so good that there isn't even a reliability improvement with a manual. My Rubicon manual blew at 135K miles and cost me...

Ordered a Badlands, Sas, Lux, 2.7 1 - Front stubby bumper with internal recessed winch that works with radar antenna and front camera. C'mon aftermarket guru's!!!! Relocation brackets are fine. Relocating the Warn winch solenoids are fine too. 2 - Rear bumper with swing arm that holds the...

In the last year I've used my winch three times. BTW ... I also carry traction boards and lots of other recovery gear: 1 - On the remote North Rim of the Grand Canyon 50 miles from pavement while hiking below the rim a storm came in and dumped a lot of rain. I climbed out to the rim the next...

I drive a Rubicon on 35's with a front winch and it has saved my ass off road (and various random others) quite a few times. Frankly, it's an essential tool for the Bronco if you want to compete with Jeep. I ordered a Badlands/Sas/Lux and had this very discussion with the Bronco reps last...

I did get a few. I thought it looked pretty good but didn't pay too much attention because I ordered a Badlands. Unfortunately, I can't upload here because the files are too big :( Here's a link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cqLoFGDarnytv1de7

Awesome shot! You can tell that the front seat could go fwd quite a bit since there is someone sitting in it.

I was definitely laying diagonally across the back. I think if you moved the front seats all the way forward you could comfortably have two people laying back there. Unfortunately, I didn't test this out though because there was a lot of people traffic.

Now that's a terrific use case for the removable roof without a cross bar (like the Jeep). I shoot a lot of night sky stuff up at the Grand Canyon. Some of it's on my website here: www.richrudow.com On my Rubicon the accessory light can be completely shut off so that the battery doesn't drain...

Hate to spoil the party, but there is no 2 door to view with the AZ demos :(

Now that's what I'm talking about! Hopefully it won't take the aftermarket guys too long to get on the program for the Bronco.

Unfortunately, no Sas. The Black Diamond was Cactus Grey, 2.3l, manual with the 8" display and the Outer Banks was black, 2.7l, auto with the 12" display. I was able to visualize the pieces that would be in my Badlands Sas order. The Ford reps knew the differences in height between the models...

Heck yeah! Great to meet you too. I really appreciate how informed you guys were about the vehicle. It's a step up from my Rubicon in a lot of ways. We just gotta figure out how to get the front winch in there with all of the sensors.
