  1. 2025 BSBL Sasquatch Winch?

    The ford ranger lift is actually quite solid on my badlands., it uses The factory badlands (the lower trims don’t have the subframe attachments, so yes it is ONLY cosmetic on non BL trims) attachment has plenty of strength. It uses the recovery point as a Bolt mounting point and the actual steel...
  2. 2025 BSBL Sasquatch Winch?

    The ford ranger lifts bar could be used to mount a solid plate to it, but forward camera would be useless, as would crash braking. Remove-able rear mounted is a viable option, particularly since the vehicle only weighs 3700 lbs a 5000 lb winch is plenty.(1.3x vehicle weight).

  6. 235/75r17’s fit, barely.

    So I hang out with the local jeep camping club locally and some trips require 30+ inch tires to participate. So I went with 235/75r17s on my 22 badlands (lifted 1.5 , though lifting won’t effect max tire size). There is very slight rubbing at full lock (and I don’t like to drive there) so I’m...
  7. Bull bar/nudge bar/front sensor question

    the badlands (and first editions ) have an extra piece in the subframe about 12 inches deeper than those mounts you have there, it is an additional mounting support that hat is clearly designed for pulling forces. The 2.0 engines have an additional structure right behind the hook about 18...

  9. Bull bar/nudge bar/front sensor question

    Yes, I modified the Ford RAnger Lift bar to attach to the same subframe points that the factory badlands recovery hooks use; this was accomplished by boring a hole through the FRL in the intersection of the 3 x 3/8th inch bolt holes that the original design FRL mounted with. The original design...

    You might consider a 100w Walmart crock pot. Addition. Then prep food in pot, plug into inverter and drive to location and enjoy awesome hot lunch. A simple 2 bungie system keeps lid secured. (Walmart has a Walmart brand 10 dollar crockpot, I think it is 2 quart). Real Mac and cheese trailside...
