  1. Is there one option that you think is a useless one?

    Have not read through 7 pages of responses but I am betting that my responses have been mentioned many times 1) Moonroof - they are so far back that you don't get an open air feeling, only sunburn and rapd noise 2) Nav system real time traffic and map updates - who pays money for these things...
  2. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    As I mentioned earlier in the thread the word "respectable" was an unfortunate choice. "Serviceable" was probably more along the lines of what I intended. I don't care if someone else thinks they a BS is not a "real" Bronco - there are plenty of YT videos showing people doing this with their...

    How much does a 1.5" lift cost to install? Not something I can do myself.
  4. Sleeping Inside BS (need help)

    That assumes I own a BS. I don't. The folks at Luno were very helpful and said that their BS matress is 74 inches long. See above. I am 6' tall and found a local dealer with a BS-BL in stock. With the front seats fully forward I could stretch out and have a few inches above my head and...

    How much does a lift kit cost to install on the BS?
  6. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    Interesting. The Discount TIre numbers are off Discount tire lists the Falken 245/65/17's at 40 lbs each and the equivalently sized KO2's at 34.57 lbs TireRack lists the Falkens at 37 lbs and the KO2s at 44lbs. TireSize , Amazon, and several others give the same weights as TireRack . BFG...

    Good advice Thanks for the clarification. What is under the driver side felt cover? There was metal on the passenger side. I had several email exchanges with JCR and they stated the following: the plates that are compatible with the BS-BL are floor+ evap, cat, gas tank, and rock rails. The...
  8. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    Thanks to everyone for the informative replies Absolutely. That's the first thing that caught my attention when I first saw the vehicle - that low hanging completely exposed plastic that wraps around the the front of the vehicle. My JK also has a silly plastic "air dam" instead of a real...
  9. JCR OffRoad Bash Plate: Does Not Support Badlands, Any BS Badlands Owners in/around Portage Michigan

    The Badlands does not have a bumper bash plate, only an engine one.
  10. Rally Innovations light bar and skid plate installed

    How is that bash plate looking on the Badlands? Is the access to the oil drain plug and filter reasonable?
  11. Sleeping Inside BS (need help)

    I asked them, they do. There are also many inflatable ones on Amazon that are cheaper, though probably not as sturdy What is the opinion on the Luno inflatable mattresses? And what is the max sleeping distance in the back of a Bronco with the front seat fully forward.
  12. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    Yup. Here is an example of a trail that I would not contemplate taking my JK on If a BS-BL can do this it will certainly cover all my needs. And since I am not nearly as skilled as this dude I want to put some metal under the vehicle as well as rock rails to protect me from myself.
  13. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    The vehicle at the dealership today had Falken Wildpeak AT/3 on it, these seem to be stock. I understand that the KO2 is heavier and noisier but there is not much snow in the Southwest where I will do most of my driving, and I do tend to have a lead foot on rough gravel trails. Every tire I...
  14. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    Per spec: BS Badlands has a ground clearance of 8.8", non-sas Big Bronco Badlands also has 8.8" The JK Sport S on 17" rims has 9.2 inches of clearance So ground clearance is not a big differentiator. Plus, I need the vehicle to be respectable, not a rock crawlling monster. I am never going...
  15. Mods required to turn the Sport BL into a respectable offroader?

    First post, so please be gentle. I currently own a 2014 JK Wrangler that I am fairly happy with. However I am looking to replace it with something that a) I can sleep in and b) has some on-road grace. If I were to get a JLU it would meet the a) requirement but not b). The initial plan was to...
  16. Favorite Offroading Nav App

    Caltopo exceeds Gaia and Onyx in every imaginable way - marking of 4WD trails, quality of maps, ease of use, cloud integration, etc. Don't know if it projects on the auto screen though. I tend to run everything off my phone screen which is higher quality, has better touch sensitivity, etc.
