Additional skid plates are definitely something that I plan on, (especially since I already have a hole in the front plastic).

I have scoured the threads to learn about lifts and to help me decide which one to purchase for my 22 Badlands. I caught the off-roading bug almost two years ago. Last summer my husband and I explored a lot of trails in Colorado. I’m ready to add a lift, but: 1) how do I determine which of these...

I love my BSBL! Ideally, I’d keep it if I could and then buy a full size Bronco! The BadSport is great around town and very capable for adventuring and off-roading. It’s funny to me- I wasn’t really interested in off-roading until I got my Sport and attended the Off-Roadeo. My husband was really...

I will admit to have not noticed that caution regarding Trail Control, so that’s good to know. My husband and I were taking turns driving that day… I ascended and he descended, so I don’t know how fast we were actually going - but it was slow. I'll have to ask him- and know to pay attention to...

I’ve been offroad on steep descents… used Trail Control thinking it used a combo of gears and braking. After smelling the brakes- pulled over to let them cool, and that is when my husband and I realized that Trail Control doesn’t use gears… it uses the brakes to keep the descent slow. While in...

I ordered my 22 Badlands at the end of November 2021. I waited 9 months, but finally took possession on Labor Day 2022. I ordered it with all the bells and whistles. I previously have always had bare bones vehicles, and since this car was a gift to myself, I decided to get just about everything...

You are correct. I did use it over the summer with both the Keurig and a regular coffee maker. They both worked with the EcoBoost, however one of our trips I somehow didn’t don’t have ecoboost activated… and since I didn’t have any cell or WiFi access, I couldn’t connect the phone via the app to...

Thanks so much for the quick response! The Off-Roadeo was so fun! My husband joined me last October. I thought we’d take turns, but I drove the whole time- lol! Before we got married, my husband was a teacher in Telluride and Ouray and drove for one of the jeep tour companies in the summer. He...

Do you have a lift on your Badlands? We took my Badlands to the San Juan’s end of June 2023, and unfortunately, Imogene and many other passes were still closed due to snow. We drove Corkscrew, Yankee Boy, Brown Mountain and Last Dollar. We’re planning to go back next summer, and I really want to...

Loved this! It’s awesome to read (and see) others on and off-road adventures!

Thank you!!

My husband and I took my Bronco Sport Badlands up the Billings Lake trail in Colorado last weekend. We stopped at North Fork Reservoir, and decided to not go on to the end of the trail. There’s a campground at North Fork Reservoir, but since so many trees had to be cut down due to beetle kill...

My husband and I drove Shelf Road last fall on a trip to see the autumn leaves. Beautiful drive! I’m glad you were able to get turned around. We’re planning to go again, but it appears we will have to check to be sure the road is open.

After a ton of research, I purchased the EcoFlow River for this summer’s camping trips. It’s the best price I could find at the time for what I wanted. I can run my Keurig or a coffee maker with this one because it has a sort of burst (x-boost) mode for higher wattage items. I’m not sure if it...

I used it while off road in Colorado on 3 different rides… coming down Corkscrew Gulch, Yankee Boy and Brown Mountain in the San Juans. It worked great! However, I was concerned coming down Brown Mountain… I could smell brakes, and that was concerning since the descent was shorter than the...

My husband and I were in the San Juans two weeks ago. There was a huge amount of snowfall over the winter, so several popular trails weren’t open yet. (Can you imagine driving a snowplow on those passes?!) At any rate, I drove my Badlands up Corkscrew Pass, Yankee Boy Basin, Lost Dollar Road and...

I completely understand that. I wanted my lift installed at my Ford dealership to make sure I didn’t mess up my warranty. However, when they priced it out, they recommended a lift that is not compatible with the Badlands version - as clearly stated on the manufacturer’s website. Lol- not going...

Thank you so much! I currently have the factory option Falken Wildpeak tires. Planning to keep those until they need to be replaced. I’ve been researching lifts, and the HRG is likely what I’ll go with. We’ve got a trip to the San Juans in a couple of weeks, so we are looking forward to getting...

I’m still learning about things like air pressure, lifts and tire size for off-roading. What PSI did you air down to for this trail? Do you air down differently depending on terrain? Do you have a recommendation for an air compressor? Love the video!

I have been trying to find a good way to mount a GoPro as well. I used the suction cup on rides several times. I was looking at that dash tray as well to see if I could modify it to somehow add a secure mount. I have seen a cell phone mounting system (on Amazon) that potentially could work...
