Reviving a stagnant thread… I have fallen victim to the rear main seal leak on my 2.7… trying to find a slot with a service department to get it replaced quickly as we have a 3000+ mile road trip coming up real soon. Thankfully I noticed the few drops of oil on the driveway before starting that...
i hate to admit it, but i just learned about the alignment pin last week... i have been taking teh doors off and on for almost a year WITHOUT using that thing.
Tossed the doors on my wife's bronco yesterday using that pin, and you are right. night and day difference when installing the doors!
I have aftermarket glass on my badlands.. first one was replaced by the dealer the day before i bought it.. rolled up to the lot and still had the blue painters tape on.
Only major difference noting non-oem glass is you dont have all the markings, such as the BRONCO lettering and "ACCESSORY...
not me looking at the 12" extension i currently have on mine........ If left in, it will definitely crack a knee cap... i havent hit it yet thankfully.
tailgates are expensive.. I got lightly bumped in the school parking lot. it twisted enough that the adjuster warranted a replacement. $2100 in damages for a bump from a chevy traverse at a slow roll
No issues with mine. I made 3 loads of concrete. 8 bags, 10 bags, then 14 bags.. I did pull the handle thing out when trying to lift it when it had 50-60lbs on top of the lid. Fed it back through the bottom and been trouble free since
Most I have hauled was 14 80lb bags of concrete.. my badlands sas definitely knew that weight was there… I stacked em all right at the back of the cargo area so it was all hanging behind the rear axle lol
Confirmed the as-built info on my two broncos..
21 badlands 2.7 sasquatch - 1
21 big bend 2.3 non-sas - 3
My goal is to program one of the performance racks off my badlands, plug into the big bend, and see what happens.. if that works, then i will order a second rack for my badlands.
