Mileage and noise are two areas with not enough discussion, IMHO. We'd all like tires that have better traction and are more capable ... but at what cost? For those with frequent off-road needs it is likely worth it. For the rest of us, what is the best compromise? I want something that will work in rain and light snow conditions, not get me stuck in mud while still being fairly quiet with minimum impact to mileage. Up until recently, I had been eyeing Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015s as a future replacement. Right now I am liking what I read about Continental CrossContact LX25s. Seems like a more measured approach but still an upgrade from stock.
Installed Ford-Alexa on our 2022 BS BB and works awesome!

Yet another successful venture out with the Sport...You can't tell by looking at this shoreline, but I had to navigate loose small boulders and yes took a few strikes against the underarmor, lol.

Besides the Badlands included rock plates and my addition of the lighter Rally Innovations front skid plate... I'm hoping someone will create a side plate for those lines running underneath the driver side. Right now its a thin piece of felt covering those hoses... but hoping someone can manufacture a long plate for that section... I believe its the fuel lines.

But all In all a successful venture trough narrow roads and loose loose boulders and rock.. performed like a champ.

Baby Bronco Power at it's best : )

Got in there with some Griot's Garage Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner. Did not realize how utterly filthy my front wheels were - basically matte grey. The replacement pads from the recall are just a disaster. I need to go ceramic.

I'm with you on that one. I still can't believe that Ford thought that thin piece of felt was enough to protect the gas lines in a vehicle that was designed to go off-road.

Wednesday will be the 1 year anniversary of the purchase our Badlands and 15000 trouble-free miles. I installed the spoiler (Thanks to pass points) rear window decal and pedal covers.

Nice work! I love my Badlands, too (13K/6 mis.). Where did you purchase those pedal covers? Thanks!

I like your additions and I have an Area 51 too. I am curious why you went with red instead of the blue?

Well between computer chips and that mythical foam engine cover… a protective plate covering gas and brake lines was probably considered a luxury item ona n off-road vehicle…lol
