I’m just wondering how complicated it would be to do badlands size wheels, tires, and fender flares on a squatch when my 35s are ready for new set.

I think in a world of squatches the BL is more refined and has a unique style all its own. Just as capable with slightly less obnoxious flares and wheels. If I was in badlands territory, I probably wouldn’t squatch because I like the badlands optional wheels better than any others. but I’m...

Yeah I’m really glad my wife had an SUV so I can get the 2 door. Looks pretty good though.

Hmmm. I dont know about you guys but I don’t have to drive 3 hours and pay $30 to get swarmed by thousands of drunk fighting inbred bros not wearing masks during a national pandemic and maybe get to sit in the passenger seat on a closed course to figure out if I’m gonna order a bronco or not...

The black one is there I think? Next to the yellow baby bronco... or is there a joke i don't get...

the coast is worth the trip. Lots of great excursions inland. The Charles Wells books have all the trails you need. The sierras (sequoias and Yosemite) make for classic driving! Through the glacial paths and through giant trees especially fun with kids or family. Nice to be able to go from ocean...

Not far from you, all over California, from San Bernardino mts, kern valley, big tree Forests up north: recently did bald mountain a few months ago which was great. To be fair I’m probably more on the trail riding side of “wheeling” - typically more about getting to an area to camp or swim and...

Well at least we agree Ford messed up the paint! From my experience a good coat of wax will prevent most reasonable scratching off road. And I mean moderate off road, not hardcore wheeling. I do plenty of moderate off road trails but I’m just not going to be driving a $40k vehicle like it’s a...

I’m in total agreement on the “flat” colors. They will look very dated in a few years. Like spray paint. The classic rich, tri-flake or whatever style paint is what makes a car keep its premium feel and richness in all different lighting. The flat colors really “shine” in a much less broad...

Got it. Sounds good. I ask because I recently learned the Goodyear “MT” is supposedly not Mud Terrain, it’s mixed terrain or something. So I don’t think they’re actually going to be that outrageous. Do you of course, but just in case you didn’t know may save you some $.

I stand corrected, i did not know the 35s came in C. Good to know for the next set!

Curious why you would trade in the goodyears that were specially designed for this vehicle? They're also C-rated and should have better road manners than the K02s which are E rated.

These are awesome. I wonder if anyone will create some kind of easily adapatable module for plugging anything into the switches. Like I have no idea where the plugs for these switches will be or what they look like. Are they a standard plug? Would love to open up to the DIY / open source crowd...

after flipping between mt base base w/ upgrades, then mt black diamond stock, and the news about potential new colors and a white roof, plus a late reservation, i'm now firmly in the mansquatch base camp. will do katzkins seats aftermarket. another thing that got me thinking, is that unless...

Yeah I hear you on the waiting part... good info thanks.

That’s not the tire for Sasquatch. It’s a new MT tire called Goodyear Territory

Yeah that's where I'm leaning on black diamond. i just wonder if looking back I'll wish I had just said "f*ck it" and gone squatch.

Hey Kodiak, Reviving an old thread here - but what did you end up deciding? It seems black diamond? I really can't decide between the following: Manual Base Squatch and do Aftermarket Interior Upgrade (Katzkin w/ heated seats) - gets me bilsteins, upgraded wheels, 35s, fat fender flares...

No i get that it handles the tires. I'm just saying while bigger tire increases performance off road, it also decreases on road. Rotational weight can make a big difference in driveability. Especially 30 lbs per wheel. I'm just trying to decide between a black diamond (standard height, 32s) or...

Yeah this is one of the things I'm thinking about. It's not that the truck can't handle it, but how much better it would handle even with 33s.. There are some nice C rated 33 discoverers or even the bridgestones that weigh a lot less. The base stock tires are 32 lbs each. Adding 50lbs to each...
