Great! Keep us posted!
Also when you decide to do the suspension lift let us know what you do exactly. Curious to see what lift kit would work with the Badlands Bilsteins (or if youāre going with coilovers, etc)
Awesome build! I'm looking to do something similar! Most people already asked the important questions but I've got 2 more!
1) Did you feel like you lost any power without the regearing? (also are you 2.3 or 2.6)?
2) How much off-roading do you plan on doing? Any chance you can take a few...
Hahaha @Wookiee if it wasnāt for the Michigan St logo I would say were the same person šš
Havenāt even been on a test drive yet for that same reason lol
Congrats man!!
Iām also really proud of myself because Iām genuinely happy for you...I really thought I was going to be a salty jackass hahahšš
Yea just stay busy with other stuff man thatās what Iāve been doing.
Iāve also stopped checking the forum routinely/actively commenting...itās helped put this in the back of my head which has been HUGE for my mental health lol
Iāll say it...thatās an annoying response. I understand that he probably doesnāt know anything, but it felt slightly dismissive.
Iāll also say in this case specifically...no news isnāt really good news. Because it seems like every time thereās a drop off in communication by Ford itās followed...
Yea I'm definitely starting to do that more and more. In a weird way it's nice that there's almost no chance of getting an accurate build date/estimate at this point...it's expectations that keep you on edge. I have almost no expectations now haha
Given the number of times Ford has had to āreshuffleā things because of different commodity restraints during different months...I canāt imagine them being able to send out an accurate email for anyone.
Iām guessing the May email will be vague (if we get one at at all) and will say something...
I second two questions before:
1) are black beauty rings available?
2) are option BL wheels available?
(if youāre not comfortable ball parking price thatās ok! Thank you!)
Went to a local Bronco event recently and got to see a Big Bend and an OBX.
As someone who ordered a Badlands w/ SAS and MGV, most of my questions were left unanswered.
Fortunately the Big Bend had the mid-package w/ stock stereo and the OBX had the Lux w/ the B&O.
I asked the rep if I could...
Is anyone in this first group of orders planning on getting a BL with optional wheels (or the stock wheels) and planning on putting 35" tires on them immediately after?
If so please DM me! Thanks!
