Yeah, I'm going to update mine in order of use:
1. Removing the back seats, I took one out week 1, the other one out 3 months in. Piece of cake.
2. 1up Bike Rack (I'm MTB'ing 2-3x a week)
3. Bronco Bimini Top (allows me to go topless 6 months out of the year - protection from rain)
Honorable...
Yeah, worried about the aux switches? How about worrying about a vehicle that has set for more than a year, what was the build date? I'd be scared to touch it period even with $10-$15k off.
I thought about that, but honestly the hitch isn't a huge issue. It swings down far enough to fully open the tailgate. The only downside is when I'm loading/unloading equipment in the back and/or putting on a wetsuit.
Maybe down the road, a friend of mine wants to fabricate something for it...
1. Removing the back seats (free mod at that).
2. Tailgate Table
3. Curt Hitch/1UP Bike Rack
Ahh, and the Bronco bimini top.
Honorable mention: Bartact Door Storage Bag -...
It was a random one off Amazon that bluetooth'ed to my phone, it's not great, but decent. I used the holes my lovely dealer put in the front for a license plate holder (my state doesn't require front license plates) to mount it. Piece of cake, just remember it doesn't like a pressure washer.
Good topic, so........
1. Fire Extinguisher (I actually have had to use, but luckily not on the Bronco, some leaves outside of a fire ring in a NP).
2. Snatch Strap (no winch on this one)
3. 5 out of the 6 aux switches.
So..these are my personal ones, the roof rack gets used constantly...
Reviving this thread - hitting 25k on my '23. No issues, but...........debating it long term. I like to keep vehicles awhile (150-200k). 2.3, 7MT 2 door Badlands SAS, averaging around 20.9 mpg over the life of the vehicle.
Yeah, what exactly are you talking about? How much more moonroof can you get from a removable top? I'm sure they will develop some sort of Power Top, but....honestly, it takes away from the fact that you can remove the entire top on the Jeep.
I'll add that I have had no issues with the manual transmission scraping or sync issues. My transmission was around the date they started (hopefully) resolving the issues. I live in a warm climate and it's garage-kept which may help too since it sounds like a lot of the issues are with a cold start.
2 years, 23k miles, zero issues. I'm going to agree with everyone who's stated it depends on your definition of "issue." I don't consider things like Carplay being intermittent or the seat belt motor not retracting (there's a TSB, but I haven't taken it in) as huge issues. I also have moisture...
Yeah, first one.....I've really never been tied to one brand, although I do miss my Toyota pickup:
'89 Jeep Cherokee XJ
'93 Acura Integra
'93 Toyota Pickup 4x4, single cab, manual (loved this truck)
'07 JKU (180k miles, beat the hell out of it)
'23 JLU (I thought I'd skip my Bronco order...
Yeah, so I've got a manual Badlands without any electronics (Low package) so a lot of this doesn't apply. I definitely use the seatback Molle for first aid kit, tool bags, bungies, I have one on my tailgate table too. I would say the front seat mesh pockets are somewhat worthless, but I swapped...
I love this thing, but....the automatic only hurts it. I'm glad it's 2 door only, it wouldn't make sense otherwise. I'm sure it will cost a small fortune, maybe my '23 Badlands 2 door will be due for an upgrade by the time it comes out. What are we thinking? $60k?
Definitely - you have my original build it appears, 2021 Badlands non-SAS (because you couldn't get SAS with the manual) and Cyber Orange. Ended up with SAS and Eruption Green once my order was completed (March 2023).
Hold up - the Bronco has soy-based wiring? My wife had a 4runner with it and rats were attracted to it like crazy, chewed through her wiring harness, $5k damage covered by insurance luckily.
Shit.......I'm going to have to put peppermint all over it.
