So my final build was a last min. change. I was trying to be a miser, which ive always been. In the last hail marry I added the Sasquatch package to the BIG BEND. In hindsight looking back I made my build within a thousand dollars of the BADLANDS.

Trade off, Swaybar disconnect, MGvinyl seats washouts vs sasquatch. Its all about that one step up and then your over the edge. Opinions?
I have a first edition and I almost downgraded to a badlands because of the marine grade vinyl and wash out interior. Also if you ever go to sell the badlands should hold a higher resale value.

I had the same thing I was set on a Badlands, 33ATs, high & tow package! Then I went back down to the SAS BB that's what I ordered. Cloth seats, then I got the liners for the floorboards and added the AUX, got the tow package. I'm happy with the BB!!
I wouldnt used the sway bar often enough to justify it, also the trail cameras. I figured I do start getting out more than three times a year on big trips then I can always trade up! I'll know after Septembers big trip if I wanna trade up after going to Moab. I'll also have a friend going who ordered a BLs SAS. I think we will both have our broncos by then! Be a good testing ground to see how my choice fairs out!

I did the exact thing. After hundreds of configurations, it was a squatched BD w/mid package.
It really is the best bang for the buck.

If you got SASQUATCH, that means you either love the look or plan to really utilize the suspension set up, either way, to me, if that was the reasoning, then you made the right choice. I choose Sasquatch for the looks. That’s just the truth. Looks are a significant factor in my automobile choices and to me, Sasquatch makes the bronco.

house, vehicle. Either way I start with a price range knowing I’ll likely spend 5-10% above my max. once you accept that a price point is ok, you’re spending that much if not a bit more.

there were a few things I really, really wanted that can’t be upgraded in the aftermarket: 12” screen and 2.7L engine. I loaded those in to my BL and almost nothing else. Bage, bars, liners, tow, bimin, I can buy all those things over time.

Still time to change build. I believe we have until March 19. Go Badlands, the extra $1000 for MG vinyl, wash out floors and sway bar disconnect are well worth it IMO. I have the Soft tech seats (similar to MG vinyl) in my 4Runnner and love them. Also I like the 2 door look better with the 285/70/17 than the 315/70/17. Quality is remembered long after price is forgotten.

OMG Becky... someone hasn’t seen Fight Club... how is that possible?

on a serious note, there were lots of comments made about the MGV during the KOH ride alongs. May be worth watching those videos again to get those folks perspective on it. Keep in mind though that you can’t get power seats with that option. I don’t care about the power seats personally, since they’re just a set and forget thing to me.

If it makes you feel any better, my 4dr BB build is about $1,300 off of a WildTrak build. Only thing I'm missing is the mid package (which I could care less about). Throw in the fact that the deal I got, I should make out better OTD due to add-ons at higher discount (under invoice vs. msrp).

Literally we could all second guess ourselves to death. At some point just need to submit the build and not think about it anymore.
