    Very nice, how was the rest of the trail? I plan on going that way soon myself. Do you feel like you needed a spotter for most of it?

    Offroading, Overlanding, Wheelin', and More... Share Your Stories

    Went out near Elevenmile Canyon this weekend to check out some climbing spots, just a one night trip. Got down into the single digits, I had frost build up on the inside of the windows despite cracking my sunroof, but all in all a good night's sleep. Made some mushroom-swiss burgers on the cast...

    Share a little bit about a recent offroading expedition you've taken your Bronco on. Photos/videos please. This forum has gotten a little stale with exciting information. I feel like I rarely see anyone using their car so I wanted to show a little bit of what I do with my BS in hopes that...

    255/70/R17 Tires can fit, if you're willing to go there....

    Looks great. I'd really love if you could do some offroading so we know how the performance/clearance is there. Pictures if you do!

    Windshield Chips

    I have owned my Badlands a year and a half. I have gotten chips repaired 5 times, and am about to be on my third windshield due to my second major crack. I have owned seven vehicles in my life and have never had to replace a windshield, only one of those vehicles ever got a chip that turned...

    Overlanding in northern Maine woods in Feb w/ Badlands Bronco Sport

    I'm not sure the equipment should be an issue from what you're describing, you may just need some tweaks to iron it out. I've been sleeping here in the Rockies in my BS when it's been at 0 and still managed to stay warm in the sleeping bag. I use a Marmot Sawtooth 10 degree bag, Thermarest...

    Has the Wi-Fi hotspot been eliminated from all models going forward?

    I've had the wifi hotspot on my 21 for 1+ years and personally, I think a portable one that you would get from a carrier instead would be a much better option. - It's effectively just as good as your phone's 5G/LTE. It's all dependent on location and your car will not increase the range or...

    Heavy Duty Use?

    A poignant example of why I would want a metal front bumper: The bozos who did my oil change didn't put in the retaining screws to attach the front bumper to the front skid plate (or all 5 or 6 screws backed out, who fucking knows). I started up a trail in the Fall (Chinns Lake) and had to back...

    Heavy Duty Use?

    I go on 4x4 trails in Colorado almost every weekend (Winter included), my first time getting stuck was this Saturday high centering in some snow. I was stranded until a true hero in an FJ happened upon me at 2am to give me a pull. I can't blame the car though, it's only doing what it was...

    Aftermarket parts wish list? Let us hear it! JcrOffroad

    More than anything, metal bumpers that retain function of the driving assist features, parking aids, cameras, and tow hooks on a Badlands. Interior storage that can be mounted by the rearmost windows would be nice to have. Other companies have made some replacement seatbacks that incorporate...

    Car camping?

    My sleeping system is only for one person, but I'm able to fold down the larger section of the rear seats and leave the other one up. It's super nice, I don't have to awkwardly get in the car and I have space for taking off my shoes or putting on clothes in the morning. I also have it where my...

    Transceiver Installation thread (Ham, CB, GMRS). Radio unit and antenna installation on Bronco Sport

    I get that a bigger antenna and a better system give you more range/options, but I'm just curious what you actually are doing with your HAM system. I've used handheld radios for camping and road trips before, and even in the mountains and several miles apart I've gotten signal out to friends...

    Transceiver Installation thread (Ham, CB, GMRS). Radio unit and antenna installation on Bronco Sport

    Pardon my ignorance but serious question: why not just keep a Baofeng or something similar in your glove box instead?

    Standalone Wi-fi Setups

    Hello everyone! I really enjoy the wifi hotspot of my Badlands, but it has the unfortunate effect of not working while the car is off. I would really like to have a consistent wifi hotspot as I'm looking to link my dashcam to the cloud, as well as just have the usefulness of wifi even when the...

    Dealership Hall of Shame

    I had a terrible experience with Covert Ford in Austin, Texas purchasing my Bronco Sport. I went here on a recommendation and regret it. The mildly annoying: The initial order process was simple, I used X-plan pricing to make a build order through Ford's website and then sent it to the...

    My Badlands was destroyed by hail.

    Hey guys, been awhile. I wanted to follow back up and close the loop on this one. In short, my car is fixed up and looking brand new. If I could leave some advice to anyone who was in my situation: stay calm, be patient, and talk to a couple of different shops. Even after literally every body...

    My Badlands was destroyed by hail.

    OP here, back with an "update". First I brought the car to Planet Ford for an estimate, if you look at my first post, I go over those details. The serviceman never got back to me with my quote, even after I tried chasing them down. Since I was already being drug around before my car was even in...
