Took delivery of a 22 2dr Badlands with the 7MT in October last year. About 400 miles after delivery, the noise made its appearance. At first it was mild and only on days in the 50's or less and It would go away quickly. The noise became progressively worse with time and would not go away...

Our customer rejected the Trailrax product. We tried modifying the mount, but it just looks hacked. Found this that should fit the bill. https://topsyproducts.com/collections/ford-bronco-parts/products/fender-mount-nmo-antenna-bracket-for-ford-bronco We use this type of bracket on 90% of our...

We had a Bronco come into the radio shop today for an install. The plan was to use this NMO bracket mount from Trailrax since I had one for my personal rig which was not installed yet. https://www.trailrax.com/products/ford-bronco-trail-sight-accessory-mountl Although advertised it's...

Thank you! Was impressed how tightly they grip the hole.

Here are more photos. The mounting hardware were the same bolts and nuts to mount the seats. For the caps I used Hillman 58150 type. Amazon had the best price for a 5 pack. They fit the 1-1/4 counterbore in the plywood perfectly. The Hillman Group 58150 1-1/4-Inch Metal Hole Plug, 5-Pack...

I'm beginning a V/UHF and an HF screwdriver antenna installation. Ordered this for the V/UHF mount. https://www.trailrax.com/products/ford-bronco-trail-sight-accessory-mount Custom fabricating a mount for the HF antenna. No pic yet. It's still a work in progress. 73 Kilgore (WB6AGE)

After a year of ownership I came to the conclusion the rear seats were useless in my 2 door badlands. They never were used and hampered hauling things in the rear. Plus the dog found them uncomfortable. The rig is used on the farm and getting into the backcountry for camping and hunting...

On the two door drivers side install, what's the distance from the molle panel to the inside of the door when closed? Is it the same top and bottom? Thanks in advance, don't want to buy and have an O-Crap moment!!

Has anyone gotten a blind spot warning due to something blocking the rear sensor? I am designing an antenna mount that will rise on the outside edge of the taillight. Want to determine if this will cause problems with the sensor. The guidance in the owners manual is dismal. May have to...

Received a call from my service advisor that my TSB parts are in. My obvious first question was is the synchro rings -C or -D revision? I stressed that I do not want -C parts installed. The answer was the received parts were -C and their transmission guy says he will not install -D components...

My neighbor actually asked me not to warm up in the driveway. Have been asked by strangers about the noise. My regular response now is "It's one of Ford's better iteas" My badlands is used daily on the farm and spends a lot of time in first pulling a feed wagon. The noise has gotten a lot...

I would think twice on having them be your servicing dealer. So far my service experience has not been great.

Last November Car and Driver magazine started a long term test of a badlands with the 7MT. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a41937201/2022-ford-bronco-badlands-sasquatch-reliability-maintenance/ Have been checking back for an update, but none found. Searched their long term test page...

From the last installment of my story, brought in the badlands for the noise. After a cold soak, the SM commented "that noise scared the s**t out of me" Brought it home while they figured a plan and the transmission guy took time off between Christmas and NYE. The oil was visibly clean with...

I just want a rig that works and is reliable.

In Washington state, they get 4 attempts. I'm counting. The ‘nonconformity has been subject to diagnosis or repair four or more times including at least once during the period of the manufacturer’s written warranty and during the“eligibility period” (see What Is The Eligibility Period?) The...

You would think they had learned something from the MT82 fiasco

Getrag/Ford certainly have a history of sourcing crappy transmissions from China. The MT82 is a case in point. https://jalopnik.com/faulty-chinese-built-transmissions-plague-new-ford-must-5792482 And a class action lawsuit has been filed...

Yes I would consider it based on my experience so far. Waited almost 2 years and paid north of $50k for my 7mt Badlands. The transmission sounds like a rock crusher when cold. It's actually loud enough to wake the neighbor. Turns out Ford sourced the transmission from China. Check out the...

Just came across this thread regarding where the 7mt is produced. Not surprising we are having problems. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/getrag-7-speed-manual-built-in-china.9113/
