Illinois requires front plates. Hopefully the state won't mind if I don't put a front plate on my Bronco. I've never been reprimanded for not having a front license plate on my Corvette for the past 19 years.
Thanks to Discount Tire! First of all let me say that I know very little about tires.
But I was running tire numbers this morning. Previous posts here say that Badlands optional wheel has 55mm offset. I assume standard wheel is the same. Maybe. If so, backspace is 6.66". Distance from mounting...
I did Schnebley Hill Trail in Sedona, Az in my stock Wrangler X with no problem. I suspect any Bronco could handle that trail.
Edit to add: Certainly other trails on the list are far more difficult.
I have 5 top reasons for getting a Badlands (but I'm getting a AT. My MT days are over)
1. Top off.
2. Easy to get in and out of. (I'm past the days of getting in and out of sports cars)
3. I won't get stuck in my snow covered driveway like I do in my F-150.

Thanks for the pics! Reminder that I'm really going to have to do something about the white door insert on my 2 door Badlands. Hope there is an aftermarket solution to cover that up.
Tires/ wheels look great. I just need need it in white. been thinking about stepping down to a BD if a 2" lift is available from Ford or dealer. The more I think about it, why bother - just go straight to BL.
I don't mind getting my Bronco topless. I'll pick it up at MAP to save Ford the hassle of shipping a topless vehicle. And they can keep the $1495 destination fee.
I'm getting a BL with 33's. Don't need the front sway bar disconnect or front lockers for where I'll be driving here in Illinois. But we may move to Arizona. I will need everything a BL has then.
I've only driven gas powered vehicles since the early 1970's. But I could see myself with an electric vehicle someday. As long as the range is ok and there are plenty of charging stations around.
