So this is the mentality that I think we all fall victim to. Itās like a snowball effect of checking options, then saying well itās only a little more for thisā¦. Before you know it, your $35k base is a $65k Badlandsš¬. But from my initial experience, I am not going to miss any of the options...
So, I need to read up on the break-in period and then Iāll post up some thoughts. I havenāt pushed it at all, but it does feel a little less peppy than the 2.0 Jeep. That said, the 2.0 Jeep is surprisingly quick. I drove the 2.0, the V6, and the diesel and the turbo 4 was by far the most eager...
Did you see the thread from the guy that got the red Black Diamond and put 33s on it stock? It looks awesome and fit with no problems. I think the BD is another great value in the lineup. Rear locker plus bash plates and rock rails. Thatās all I really would have needed and would have had to...
Honestly, my opinion is that between a BaseSquatch and a Badlands, youāre paying a lot of extra money for vinyl instead of cloth and disco sway. BaseSquatch is a MUCH better deal. That said, I actually prefer 33s to 35s for everything other than looking cool. I do all kinds of stuff in our...
Right on. Thatās the thing that strikes me the most is How similar they are. I think the Broncoās on-road advantage is a little overblown and I think the Jeepās off-road advantage is similarly overblown. If anyone was on the fence, Iād say just test drive both and buy the one that speaks to...
The only one Iāve seen on the road (other than mine) was a Rapid Red Wild Track on a car hauler headed southeast from Michigan. I still havenāt seen anyone else driving one. I got a few people wanting to come up and look and chat, but not as many as I might have expected.
Iām out in the Hagerstown area. Iād be up for some wheeling though. We take the Jeep all over. Just did Peterās Mill Run last weekend and got the Jeep badge. We had two Jeeps and a Tundra. Iāll be kind of switching back and forth between the Jeep and the Bronco for off-roading. Let me know...
So, I havenāt studied up on the break-in period for the Bronco, but Iāve not pushed it yet. My unscientific butt dyno tells me the Jeep would win a drag race, but I honestly could not care less about an off-road vehicle being fast. In other words, the 2.3 is more than adequate, but I think the...
Thanks, I love Area 51 and I also really like the orange Badlands accents. I know that is not necessarily a popular opinionš. No big mods planned. Iād like to score some door bags and Iām looking forward to BesTop offering a nice Bimini top. I plan to keep the top completely off most of the...
No, itās pretty common for highway mileage on the 2.0 turbo. We hit mid to high 20s on pretty much all of our road trips. Itās a 2020 2.0 turbo, 8-speed auto JLU Willys. This trip was a net drop in elevation, which contributed, but we got 25mpg on a trip up the east coast. My wife gets about...
So, I am a little hesitant to post for the potential flaming, but here it goes⦠I picked up a 4-door Badlands over the weekend. I have two reservations, a very early (day 2 I think) and an October Granger one. I didnāt place an order in the first round because I have been fully on board the...
I have a ā93 LX convertible too. I inherited it from my grandma when she stopped driving. Itās an 80 horsepower 2.3 auto, but I still enjoy putting the top down and cruising. I drive it more than anything else lately.
