I actually like the sound of my 4-dr 2.3L manual with the Steeda (now discontinued) and with my fake sound (ESE) disabled. Loader/deeper tone at idle and if I gun it, but not too bad at city/freeway driving.

Just ordered Malbett sill protectors for my Badlands 4-dr from Amazon. I have had good luck with their products so hopefully these don't disappoint.

I added Malbett seat covers, IAG mud flaps, Xpel XR Prime Plus ceramic window tint to help reduce common wear/tear. Common convenience items were Broaddict cargo shelf, stirrup steps and tailgate fold-out table.

Sounds fake, but probably nothing. I do a lot of research and planning before I buy anything. So far everything is going according to plan, except for the realization that I am no spring chicken, so lots of beer and ibuprofen after a day of mods. Cussing also helps.

Plan to, but I have one more install ... the Lobo hidden winch plate with winch. After that I am done and ready to rock & roll!

I installed my IAG skid plate with oil access on my 2026 Badlands 4-dr 2.3L manual great and it is way thicker/stronger than the OEM plate it replaces. Plus a portion of the plate can be removed by removing one bolt for oil access.

Well I installed it today on my 2026 4-dr Badlands and it fits. I had no problem installing it. It is a lot more heavy duty/thicker than the stock skid plate it replaces and it as a nifty removable section for oil plug access. I think it will go well with the Lobo hidden winch plate.

Finally installed my Cobb Intercooler and started to install my Lobo hidden winch skid plate and IAG engine skid with oil access. For the Cobb Intercooler I replaced the factor brackets with the Lobo brackets which both hold the intercooler and the Lobo plate. I also compared my factor OEM...

For my 2026 Badlands 2.3L, my current plan when I do my 1st oil change is swap out the drain plug with one of the Fumoto valves with a drainage tube. Any downside to this besides cost and worry that somehow the valve will open unexpectedly?

Probably seat covers for my 2026 4-dr Badlands with leather seats. They look great and were super reasonable in price. I did wish the ones with the open back to not cover the molle panels on the back of the seats were available, but I could not find them.

It's my understanding that 2024+ all Broncos have it. Before 2024 only ones with the Lux package have it. One way to check, at least for me was if the exhaust sound changes going from ECO to Sport.

For folks who have skid plates that are scratched up or will be scratched up - does anyone pre-coat or post coat them with any kind of added protective coating, something thicker than just paint? If so, what is a good product to use?

Ryobi 18V (small size) wet vac for me!

Depends on whether you love to upgrade and work on your vehicle or just want to do a minimum of upgrades. For me, I fall into the later category and I also keep my vehicles for a very long time (driven current for 16 years), so I find getting all the options I want at the start of ownership and...

Yesterday, using Forscan I disabled my fake engine "ESE" sound on my 2026 Bronco Badlands with the Lux package. Below are the after and before Forscan ASM data sets. I have already added my Steeda muffler so having both ESE and the enhance sound from the new muffler was a bit too much. My...

How are these protection films with sun baked on bug splats? Do they clean like glass or leave a mark?

So I finally made this change using Forscan for my 2026 4-dr Badlands with Lux. My initial setting for ACM 727-01-01 was "30FF FCFS 1060" and I modified it to "30FF FCFS 0060" but after I performed a write all the value changed to "30FF FCFS 0050". Not sure why the 6 change to a 5, but I...

Yes, thank you! I realized that and edited my post. I will only try the ACM mod first. Hopefully it will work on all models.

So it sounds like the Forscan code location to turn on/off ESE is different if you have the Lux package vs not having the Lux package. Is this correct? From what I have read in this thread the followings seems to be the settings needed. If I am wrong, please feel free to correct. For non-Lux...

While I think that helps with some, I don't believe it will solve the problem with all tail gate tables. I don't think it will work with my Broaddict tail gate table. I found it odd that it isn't compatible with the pre-existing Broaddict tailgate table.
