I’ve owned a couple Jeeps in the past and I typically give it about a year before I start adding a lot of 3rd party aftermarket bolt-ons. I honestly think if I can stay within my budget and spec out a Badlands without the Sasquatch package, that should be enough to cover about 90% of what I plan...

I forgot to ask... when the time comes to build our Broncos and place the order, if we decide to go with Granger as our preferred dealer, will you be able to walk us through the process of changing our dealer preference so that we can keep our current reservation and not loose our "place in...
