Mine wasn’t my primary vehicle until recently and I haven’t driven it in the winter, so only 6400 miles. The noise has been there all along. Mine shifts smooth and drives fine. The noise is noticeable when it’s sitting in neutral at idle, and goes away when I push in the clutch (trans stops...
I need to take mine in before the bumper to bumper warranty is up in December. I will swap back to the hard panels before I do as I’m sure they’ll just blame the sunrider. I also need to get them to look at my “sound like it’s chewing on rocks” manual transmission. I did purchase the extended...
You could bolt it on without the rear shell in place, but the entire thing would have to be completely removed to reinstall the rear shell. Too much of a PITA.
Are you sure it’s the Sunrider leaking and not the water leak many people have?

The OEM KO2s on my 2021 non-sas Badlands were definitely C-rated. The 285/70R17 KO2 is available in C or E, Ford puts C on out trucks. If yours came with E it was a mistake. Ford buys enough tires that they can get whatever spec they want.
E rated tires ride hard because they are designed...
I installed mine in spring 2022, removed it October 2022, reinstalled April 2023 to present. I haven’t had any issues with mine, but my Bronco has 6300 miles on it and spends most of the time in a garage as I had a work vehicle until recently.
I don’t think 66# is ideal. The stock 285/70R17 BFG are 50.5#. The Toyo’s I went with are 59# each which was heavier than I wanted, but I swapped to Method wheels that are 25# each instead of the stock at 28# each, so the difference isn’t too far off from stock.
I like the gray color. I’m planning on painting my garage and shop at some point, currently just white paint.
What are you looking at for a lift? It doesn’t look like you have much ceiling height to work with. I’ve been looking at lifts for my shop, I’m limited by the 10’ ceiling so...
Many of us are running 285/75R17, I think this is the ideal size for a non SAS Badlands at stock height. They are available in an C load range rather than the too heavy E load range that many tires come in. Others who want a little more height and are ok removing the crash bars are running a...
I purchased the ford procal when it first came out but haven’t installed it on my truck yet as my local Ford dealer won’t install it unless I bought it from them. I haven’t bothered to find another ASE tech to do the install. Now I may not bother as Rev match was something I wanted most.
I concur with limited use of 6th gear in the manual. I have 285/75R17 (33.9”) on a 2021 Badlands non sas (4.70 gears). I noticed that the boost runs high in 6th gear on any grade and started using it only on flat ground or downhill. I can get 20+ mpg on trips up to VT.
I have a couple decades of wheeling and attended offrodeo in October 2022. I found it to be fun, but I didn’t really learn anything. My wife was able to get a bunch of seat time, so the experience was worthwhile. It’s a nice location and a good program, worth going regardless.
