I have about 800 miles so far on my Badlands. While I don't notice anything specific about 3rd gear, I do feel it helps to release the clutch more slowly while accelerating into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Once I hit 4th and above I can get my foot off the clutch as humanly possible.
What kind of connector do they give you in that package to tap in to the aux wire? I have the Baja Designs pocket light kit and their pinch connector needs to be clamped down hard and snap to fully seat the wire. Could be that you're just not fully connected yet.
I've felt the same way. I'm 5'10" with the seat in the lowest possible setting on Badlands motorized leather seats. Being first at a stoplight with the visor down I cannot see any of the suspended string lights. I think they are most usable for highway driving into the low sun.

The Crazy Horse memorial is really neat and worthwhile to see. Highway 14A through Spearfish Canyon is nice and curvy if you get that far west. 5 cent coffee at Wall Drug is a must. I have zero experience offroading but have physically stepped in the clay muck that is the Badlands and it's super...
No way that NTFS would be recognized, although I don't personally have my Bronco yet to test. Safest bet is FAT32 with 44k/16bit MP3s. Most commonly vehicles that have multiple USB ports really only have a single port that is both power and data. The rest are simply power. Find the USB port that...
