Just dropped it off at the dealer again. I have a 23 Badlands that I bought new. I’ve had it for less than two years and it only has 18k miles. So far it’s on its second hard top for cracking, 4-5 recalls, the doors needed to be realigned due to chipping paint, the rear tailgate had the rattle...

Hey all. So I purchased a @TopLift Pros from Marketplace to make taking my top on and off easier. The one I bought does not have the “swing out” extra supports. Instead, there are two extra bars that slide in with a pull knob. They also have adjustable rubber handles. I tried reaching out to...

We were supposed to go from Cleveland to Chicago this weekend but the forecast is worrying me. I know how capable a badlands is, but sub zero air temps and possible significant snowfall seems worrisome.

Hey all. I’ve noticed my M&R lightbar brackets are starting to show some rust. They’re not crumbling or anything, but definitely noticeable when looking at the car. Would you replace these? My other thought was washing it off and then hitting it with some appliance touch up paint (rust inhibitor)

Hey all. Brought my 23 2 Door in for a clicking noise that started after the hardtop was replaced. the dealer had it about a week and was able to isolate the noise was coming from the sheet metal inside the tailgate. They are willing to replace / paint a new tailgate under warranty but warned...

This was a before pic. Ended up hitting some pretty good mud. Left it in 4A and really didn’t get stuck or have any issues. It did need a pretty good hosing off after though

What year, how many miles, and what area are you in? All these posts make it seem like it’s inevitable the top will start to crack. I’m on my second top of my 23 with about 9k miles.

Just got caught in a torrential downpour about 15 mins from home without any rain in the forecast. What do you guys do to prevent his? send it? Rain cover?

Picked this up for like $100 on eBay. It’s a branded Bronco firepit that includes a branded carrying bag and cooking racks. I thought it would be flimsy, but it’s surprisingly nice!

Leaving tomorrow for home from the TN off roadeo. I noticed my sunglasses must’ve fallen out of my bag while bumping around because they seem to be missing. I’m leaving tomorrow morning, and they don’t open back up for a while. I’ve already sent an email. Anyone have experience retrieving lost...

I was hoping to drive a configuration close to what I have, but can’t find info if you’re randomly assigned or what.

I’ve noticed if I make a right out of my driveway and then quickly return to center it seems to activate my left turn signal and I need to then turn it off. It does not do it if I make a left. I tried a few times, and I am not hitting the stalk. Is this something that’s normal or needs to be...

Noticed this squeak that’s especially loud around 15mph and when driving my walls / parked cars. It’s a consistent squeak that seems to mirror the speed I’m going. Braking or swerving don’t seem to have any impact. I hear it windows down and up. I can’t really hear it above 35. I checked and...

Since I bought my badlands, it really seems like Ford has been limiting the 2 door more and more every year. It was originally on almost all trims and all engines, then it went to only certain trims, and now it’s only certain trims / engine combos. I understand it’s way lower volume than 4...

Hey all. Just wanted to share a fix I found that I’m pretty happy with the results of. a few days ago I found a rogue cart resting up on one of my fender flares that scraped it up pretty badly. I was originally going to try and find a replacement, but thought I’d give the “cheap” option a try...

I have a 2 door that I’ve never taken the doors off due to safety concerns. How much safer are Ford tube doors compared to doorless? How much more dangerous are the tube doors compared to just leaving the normal doors on?

Hey all. So my dealer replaced my hard top under warranty but did not replace the sound deadening headliner because they claim they cannot find it in their system. Is part VM2DZ58521A03S the same as the one that came from the factory?

Finally went through and verified my offroadeo token so I’m trying to decide which location to go with. I’m in Cleveland, so NH and TN are def drivable but I’m not sure if flying to MOAB or LV would be worth it just because it’s a terrain I haven’t really experienced before. I assume I’ve had...

Just got my hardtop replaced under warranty. My original roof from the factory had the sound deadening headliner. The dealer replaced my roof under warranty and the new one doesn’t have it. Should it have it?
