I am putting together a list for an off road emergency kit. To start, I will be using my stock Badlands on easy to maybe trails with some moderate technical areas. Nothing crazy, just alpine trails with some rock areas or what not. The kind of thing you can still do with a AWD Subaru if you...
Luckily (for my sensibilities) I live in an arid place and most of the trails I do are either in arid areas or alpine areas and not overgrown areas, hah.
I do my own, which is a lot cheaper but can require a ton of prep time if it's not a brand new vehicle. If you do it right when you get the vehicle, and then reapply according to the product's instructions you don't have to do nearly as much prep to get decent results. The prep is the hard, time...
I have a non 2DR non-SAS Badlands ordered that I intend to use as it was built to be used -- I live near a lot of great trails. But, I do want to keep it as nice as possible and try to at least mitigate the rock chips, trail scratches and rash and other things that will be inevitable.
I am...
Thanks everyone. Sounds like it's not a crazy idea, but I certainly have research and learning to do on how to flat tow correctly. I really appreciate everyone's input!
This is great info. Unfortunately I would not have a place to keep a trailer so that's not an option, though I suppose I could rent one if/when needed.
I have an F-150 used mostly for towing, but also for long road trips with the family.
I pulled the trigger on a Bronco that I intend to use for offroad fun. It's a 2DR model though, so the family is not fitting it in, hah. It's a Badlands that says it flat towing is an option, so I was...
Just got back from ordering my Bronco.

I was considering waiting for MY25, but got nervous about Ford possibly removing the 2DR and/or manual option (which is almost certainly just dumb rumors). And I didn't want to...
Hey folks, it looks like I will be ordering a Bronco! My desire is a new, 2DR, Manual, Badlands, VB, LUX, which is just not something I haven't seen within 100 miles of me. I am still looking further distances but I am not hopeful so I am looking at ordering.
However, I've never ordered a...
I am probably going to have to order my build, it's going to be tough to find what I want. I know what I want in terms of core build, but there are many things I don't know if I want and prefer to buy separately:
SAS fender flares -- I won't be ordering the SAS package but would like the wider...
Thank you to everyone for your input. I'm going to go ahead with exactly what I want and not worry about resell. If my past toy car buying pattern is any indication, I'll probably end up falling in love and keeping it forever anyway, hah!
Also meant to say a lease is a good idea, I can run the numbers on that. But I would assume Ford would not be too happy with me doing any permanent mods to a lease?
Hey all --
I am currently in the market for a Bronco. It's going to be a weekender toy. It's only gunna hit pavement for weekend drives and hopefully most of the time just to get to the trail. But, I am not yet skilled enough for high technical trails with things like rock crawling or water...
