I know the feeling and went with a flatter lower profile set on my 2025 Badlands. I don't have a sunroof, not sure if you do so I thought I'd mention it.
I found them at a very reasonable price From Summit Racing compared to other places offering them.
Not sure I don't have one. The bottom of the front crossbar to the roof is roughly 3.25 inches. You'd probably want to measure the height of your existing rails vs those of my 2025 Badlands and possibly the measurement from my existing rail to the underside of the crossbar....LMK if you need them.
The 2.3L would be the better choice as it would have the Weight to Horsepower advantage. Throw on a mild tune if needed.
The 2.7L would be something they'd throw into a Bronco Sport Raptor if they were willing to make such a thing.
A 2.7L offering could also go the way of the Lobo. I guess...
You guys need to hunt down MacGyver and see what he comes up with.
The adaptive cruise control, forward-facing camera, and parking sensors would probably need to be relocated if the mount were permanent.
Maybe something Similar to this one, but on a smaller scale, could be doable if you can...
Maybe take a look at >>> Long McArthur Ford <<< on YouTube and see if he's done a 'How to Order a 2026 Bronco' video yet. I know he's done some other 2026's already.
I Bronco'd up and took advantage of the 20% off Ford accessory Labor Day promotion and ordered the Cargo Area Liner yesterday. I wasn't expecting to get it the next day....lol
When I hit the trail last week, I lost cell reception and my map. I did come across a fork or two in the trail, but managed to stay on course. I decided I'll take no chances next time and opted for a tablet with built-in GPS. Maybe they all have GPS now? I haven't bought a tablet in...
Today, I made a cellphone/action camera holder/mount. I'm still debating on the action camera as I might just use my phone for videos. I already made a few on the trail, holding it above the steering wheel while driving, and the actual video quality and POV were good enough for me.
Had to...
I have a 25 BS Badlands and replaced my wheels and tires.
Size: 17x7.5
Offset: +35m
Bolt Pattern: 5X108mm
I'm not sure how much leeway there is on offset, but 35mm works fine on mine.
I'd probably stay within the 35mm to 38mm range on offset to keep the stock look.
Is there any access behind the slit? You could put something flat behind it if so, and use a heat gun to straighten it out. The slit? Plastic weld? Clear epoxy? Sasquatch bandage? There's always the leave it alone as a reminder and a battle scar.
I guess being retired, not a people person who likes to do things during the week, while everybody else is at work, has its drawbacks....lol
I'm in the process of putting together a recovery/repair/survival kit to keep in the Badlands when I go out on adventures. I'll be sticking to mostly...
