2024 Badlands - hello!

[johnnybgood90]

I'm officially in the club. Been eyeing them for a year or two. Finally pulled the trigger. Such a beautiful and well riding machine.

Hot chili metallic red, high/lux package, leather seats, etc. Prod date of 12/24.

New 2024 OTD price of 55k after all fees. Special Ford 1.9%/72 months financing. Got a good deal on the last 2024 sitting on the lot.

Ordered already:

• Some inside light enhancements
• Heavy duty off road floor mats
• Stubby atennae
• OS handles
• Some compartment cubbies and such
• Proper non dealer front license plate bracket for the bumper (Texas law sucks)

Coming soon: tint and the tailgate table addition.


Lovely ride so far, only thing I'm noticing that I don't like is how dark the inside is at night when you need a light, and the stock compartments for usual things suck. Both of these have been handled already aftermarket.


Any advice besides enjoy it?

Welcome!

Reverse lights. Still haven’t found my solution, but you may want to upgrade them at some point. You might not notice it on well-lit streets and parking lots, but in a dark area on gravel, for example, you’ll see.

Also, did you get any roof panel bags included?

 

[johnnybgood90]

Will check out those reverse lights .

No roof panel bags included at factory

Base badlands superiority!

2.7 or 2.3?

Wife and I love ours!

We did remove the rock sliders for stock OBX running boards, then we added some Amazon cheapie mud flaps. (Mud flaps are a must imo.)


We also grabbed a center console handle delete plate. Makes it easier for passenger to grab phone off wireless charging pad.

Oh, get FORSCAN and add sport mode too.

Welcome, and that's a very nice rig!

Congratulations! That’s a great color! I’ve got the same rig in black, love my standard badlands! My only advice is get it dirty as soon as possible

 

[dpAtlanta]

You picked the best color… so popular that they named a road after it:

Welcome to the club.
Browse the forum for mod ideas…. There are pretty much not two identical Broncos here due to all of the mod options.

 

[SierraBronco]

If you plan on wheeling it, learn how to replace the tierods. Don’t brace them, just carry spares.

 

[ScLeCo]

Keep it stock. Stay off the forums as much as possible. Don't ever wave at anyone in a Black Bronco Raptor, cause fuck that guy.

That Hot Pepper Red sure is nice. Looks even better dirty with a few trail pin stripes so don’t hold back!

Welcome to our crazy forum. As you can already tell, we’re a wild, but fun bunch.

Mods are up to the owner. You’ve got enough rig already to do quite a bit, so get to know it a bit, then decide on where you want to go with things. A little here and there never hurts.

Enjoy it. Most of us love this little off-roader to death.

Only thing I can suggest: Remove crash bars, 1” level lift for front, and find Sasquatch wheel and tire take offs (if you like the look) or aftermarket wheels and 35’s. You’ve already got the idea for interior lighting and cubbies. Try mountains 2 metal for molle panels and storage bins off all types.

@horseshart …. Simply BRILIANT!

Spare tie rods will keep the ones on his Bronco from breaking, or won't break as often. Same theory as spare tires prevent flats.
