Haha yep been thinking about possible solutions there. I mean the rollbar has like 50 holes drilled in it anyways that aren't waterproofed so not sure it really matters. From what it looks like, the hole that is left behind is actually pretty small and not the size of the antenna footprint.

I use the rear rollbar as a front crossbar for my kayaks when the roof is off but the raised bump due to the black Sirius antenna kind of gets in the way depending on how I have things strapped down. I don't and never will use Sirius radio - does anybody know the steps for cleanly removing the...

Simple: you can get a Badlands with a stick shift and (more) reasonable 33" tires for the 95+% of the time you will be on the road.

So far I've found that with the Bronco top I usually need to re pump 1 or two of the feet everyday or so. My sense is that as weather warms up they will need to be pumped less as the rubber will be more pliable (I've only had them since last fall - I live in Ohio so it's been cold). As of now I...

Seasucker definitely says the taller one needs to be in front but not sure it actually matters. If you spread the bars out (put one on front panels, other on rear clamshell the load angle is much smaller almost not noticeable. I just have the bars pretty close together in my pics which makes the...

I had a 3rd gen TRD off-road Tacoma V6 before my Bronco. The 2.3 turbo is insanely more fun to drive vs the Toyota V6 so it's gonna be a huge jump from the i4 in your Taco. The 2.4 in new Tacoma should be about the same though. I was a guy who used the shit out of my truck bed so I do miss that...

Mostly just wind noise which is to be expected. My window rattles if not rolled all the way down which again is sort of to be expected being that they are frameless. Biggest issue is most of the manual transmissions do have a rattle/scraping noise on cold start if you are going that route. I'm...

Thanks! Does your hardtop have the headliner? Was wondering if they had to cut around it, etc. For the final product. Basically I'll be doing this myself so just curious to see as much detail about how the shop did it as possible before I attempt it at some point haha

The post above is spot on. Sounds like u just need any basic Bronco and swap out the 32" road-oriented tires - obviously those r not gonna be great for any kind of serious offroading. A standard Bronco with a locker in any form is gonna be better than any BS in any form. You don't need all the...

Any chance you can send pics of what the inside mounting points look like? Also, did you order two sets of short tracks or did your shop cut one set of tracks in half for the mid/rear sections? I've been debating doing this same thing for awhile now as I'm not totally happy with any current rack...

I've tried 4 different styles of racks on mine and all needed my 7" Thule extension (that's with standard 32" spare tire also). I guess only exception is if u had at least a 2 bike rack and didn't use the front tray. You wouldn't be able to swing rack up or down or open tailgate which all seem...

They work perfectly with the factory steps - I actually added some awhile back. Now when I see people driving that have the steps but no rocker covers it looks unfinished to me lol

If they'd option it with a stick and at least t-tops it would immediately be my #1 option, but to me the 4Runner is always kind of in no-man's land... Not as functional as a Tacoma, not as fun as a Bronco. Probably will start at $50k for anything decently equipped the way things are going anyways...

Once you see the 32s in person I do think they look "right" on the BD. 33s look Ok but do look slightly stuffed. In order to have same proportions as stock Badlands with 33s you need somewhere between a 1/2"-1" lift due to Badlands having a diff suspension setup than BD. I deff wouldn't go over...

I've experimented with many since having the Bronco. For me, I need to switch out my rack for a trailer regularly so I like something relatively lightweight that is easy on and off. Originally, I thought I'd want a swing away rack like others have here because that would allow the rear door to...

Well that's a no brainier no matter what the Big Bend has on it to be honest. I have a Big Bend manual, no mid package but added the rear locker, tow, and hardtop. From having a rear locker for the past 10 years in all my vehicles, I can tell you I'll never use it to be honest. If you are going...

PC is the best option, but as others said seems silly to pay for when u can get a whole set of black diamond wheels/tires for almost same price on Facebook marketplace. If you paint, you should also be using filler primer between sanding and paint to fill the scratches you create when scuffing...

Well, it's simple: bigger, heavier, more aggressive tires = worse road performance. Personally, I'm loving the 25+ mpg/handling on the freeway with my stock 32s. May upsize to standard load, mild tread 33s when the stocks go bad but nothing more if even that. Been there done that not worth it if...

I asked the manufacturer that question too and they did not have an answer other than "they could stand on them without breaking" I do think they would be plenty sturdy for a couple kayaks, but the bars are only spaced about 21" apart so you'd be better off adding a platform or something on top...

I have the exact same experience 5k miles in with my BB manual 2.3. Originally, I was all about adding 33's and such but now the gas mileage is so much better than I expected it to be I'm just keeping the stock tires and will probably only jump to 265 32's when they go bad instead of 285 33s...
