So I never thought about a sasquatch package, was not even on any of the vehicles I was looking for (A white 2dr [yes I am that boring] ). I only drive on the beach now and then for surf fishing and also drive on Maine logging roads. If you are not familiar with them they are like gravel highways (logging truck have right of way and bomb down them like they are running shine) but some spots are unmaintained by the paper companies for years will the area grows back and can be rutty mud and rock jacked up strips of fun, especially the one's that are snow mobile trails in winter. NH has some open Class VI roads that a sporty as well.

They way I learned "off road" driving was stay in 2 wheel till you start getting stuck then put it into 4 wheel and go back the way you came. I never had a desire to climb rocks but the Off-Rodeo should be given BEFORE buying a Bronco. LOL

I of course have the trail turn assist button which seems silly for a 2 door, it is the shortest vehicle I ever owned and turns around curb to curb easier than a road king. Anyway I see some have listed their DIY updates for non 765 vehicles on here and the metube. The front stabilizer bar disconnect set up to rear electronic diff. If you were to only do one, which would make the most sense first.

Rear locking diff hands down. Unfortunately it’s the most expensive to do after the fact if you have 3.7 gears.

Locker 100%. I don't have the sway bar disco, but the lockers have saved me (and helped me show up my FJ buddy) many times. The sway bar disco won't help you in sand, the locker will save your butt.

We have a 2024 2-dr Black Diamond, and I'd agree with Fordified1 on the rear locker. We had a 'zuki for almost 20 years, though, no lockers, although now, after going through the off-rodeo and the REAL capabilities of the Bronco, we've used the locker on a few occasions...it's mostly been convenient and not needed, though. I'd expect if you just went as is you'd have lots more time grinning than concerned. Get traction plates for the mud & sand...

Skid plates, suspension and then some tires! I wouldn't buy into lockers till you blow up the front end. Having less will teach you more, its funny how many people use lockers instead of picking the right line to get through something. Learning were to put a tire is more important than anything you can buy.

You are correct of course, but I thought his question was pick between disco sway and rear locker.

Between those, I will take the rear locker! I still run my front swaybar, wheeled once without it and put it back on.

I broke my front diff when I forgot to re-engage my rear locker and got in a bind in a bad place (think cliff and trees) and tried to throttle out. Brain fart. Happens more and more at my age.
