I've never been a big believer in additives in the past. But, as my BMW got more and more miles, I started hearing from fellow BMW owners - mostly M3, M5, X5M, etc owners with the slightly more tempermental engines - that this stuff worked amazing. Definitely makes the engine run smoother and...
Hi, after doing a bit more research I’m thinking the Badlands stock non-sas might be the better option. It’s still the Bilstein shocks and coils but sits closer to the OBX original ride height.
I will definitely keep you in mind if I can’t find a Badlands set of shocks.
thanks!
Brad
The Badlands non-SAS sounds pretty good to me. Would I just need the Bilstein shocks from the Badlands with my current springs? Or would I need the shocks/springs combo?
And, I'd definitely need to stay with a 2-door Badlands shocks right? I'm thinking there might be a lot more take-off...
I'm interested in buying factory Badlands Bilstein non-SAS suspension, front and rear for my '23 Bronco 2-door OBX 2.7l.
Located in Martinsburg WV - fairly close to the DMV area for pickup. Or willing to pay shipping as well.
Thanks!
You know, at the Off-Roadeo in New Hampshire, we were in a Wildtrak 2-door and it felt softer than my 2-door OBX. I wasn't sure if that was my imagination, or the fact the tires were aired down for off-roading. But since it had the SAS suspension, that might have been it!
Appreciate the advice.
Hi everyone, I've read and researched as many threads as possible...still not really finding exactly what I need so I'll ask here:
I have a '23 2-door Bronco 2.7 OBX non-SAS. I installed Badlands wheels and originally went with Continental e-load tires, which looked great but were about as...
Buy a replacement belt buckle and plug it into the harness. It's what I did when I removed my back seats, rather than disassembling the belt buckle from them - I left them as-is and just bought a new belt buckle that has the harness plug....plugged it in, all good.
These are part # for the...
Yeah sorry about that, I was thinking the original message said 285/70/17. Mine are OEM Badlands with Continental Terrain Contact tires. 18" is going to make it 1" larger - but still plenty of room, no worry about clearance.
100% it will fit. I don't do any serious wheeling over huge rocks/boulders. Lol I wonder how many on this board actually do?
But those wheels/tires have plenty of room, it's not even close. It will be fine.
I installed Badlands OEM wheels on my OBX Bronco with Continental Terrain Contact tires. Great tread pattern, just aggressive enough - but with absolutely quiet on-road ride. But dang they are Load Range E and I didn't realize how stiff they would ride! I'm going to try to get a year out of...
When in 2021 did you order? I was Jan 2021 reservation, March 2021 order. Mine was built in Nov 2022, delivered in Feb 2023.
I wouldn't cancel at this point - but of course to each his own.
Yeah I read that but dang, is Ford really going to deny a warranty claim because you don’t have a receipt to prove that Ford or an ASE shop loaded the tune? I highly doubt it. It’s a Ford tune. There is literally no way to screw it up or install it wrong. Ok, I guess you could unplug the...
It’s not terrible. But for the high end system, not impressive at all. I’m not an audiophile, so I can definitely live with the system as is. But I can say the base level sound system in my X5 is far better.
No I did it myself. There are a few steps but it’s super easy if you’re reasonably tech savvy.

Then log in, put in your voucher code and that lets you download the Procal 4. Plug in tuner to USB port and let it update.
Take the tuner to your Bronco...
Installed the tune a couple days ago. Very pleased with the results. I'm a BMW guy at heart, so initially was very disappointed in the lack of power in the 2.7 engine, even in sport mode. With the performance tune, it's much better. Far smoother, better acceleration, better shift points...
Curt, noticed you’re in Thurmont. I’m in Martinsburg. I used Davis Designs on New York Ave in Martinsburg. Tom is an outstanding guy, really friendly and very reasonable.
