I have this same compressor in my truck. It’s pretty quick to air up my 35s…might be overkill for BS-sized tires though, but it will fill them fast and easily. Most people forget/ignore duty cycles for compressors and overwork them. Many are like 10min on/20min off. The ARB single is 30min on/...
Question: do only the badlands have this rubber floor? We’re waiting on our Outer Banks, which will have rubber floor mats, but curious if it’s carpet-free.
One option I wish my truck had is vinyl floors. The floor mats are good…but death too carpet in cars
Can we see pictures of the “damage”?
Scratches and minor dents happen offroad. If you want to keep a vehicle pristine, off-roading isn’t going to help. You can “cheat” the geometry (approach/departure/break over angles, ground clearance) with wheel placement/line picking and approaching...
If you are looking to do Rock Lights I highly recommend Lux Lighting Systems…they are more expensive than some of the other options but they are bright, fairly well made*, and the best part they are magnetic so you can place them on the body without drilling

One other thing people don’t consider when driving in deep water…your car may float and then loose traction.
The road by my work has flooded a few times in heavy rain and we get to see cars try to drive thru it. The water might only be 12-18” deep but they start to float, loose traction, and...
Interesting the Badlands wading depth is substantially more than the rest
Lots of factors to consider for water crossing depth beyond just air intake height.
Door sill height, electronics, axles/transmission breathers. Axle breathers are actually fairly important because if a hot axle goes...
PST…they sell ramps. They usually give you about 8-10” of clearance and have a flat spot on top with “curbs” to help prevent it from rolling off :)
Sorry I forgot they don’t teach reading in Texas schools.
Sunscreening devices must be applied above the AS-1 line. If there is no AS-1 line, sunscreening devices must end five inches below the top of the windshield.
Engineered recovery points for non-badlands models. I recall reading the non-badlands you can’t install the front tow hooks or they are missing reinforcements that the badlands has or something
For the sake of not spreading incorrect information … I don’t believe Texas (or any US state allows the entire windshield to be tinted. Clear UV resistant film is allowed

For sure. It’s one thing to push your comfort zone and learn the limits of the vehicle; it’s another to go outside your and your vehicles capacities. Trust your gut.
One other tip I’ll add is learn about local offroad rescue/ recovery groups* and put their phone number in your phone in case you...
Definitely, the BS is a cool little car, but it’s certainly not a recovery rig. I tried to keep the recovery gear and concepts to self recovery, with the KRR being for use if you were to get stuck and someone else is able to give you a tug, not go using your BS to recover other vehicles
Im certainly not an expert, and Ive done some dumb shit when I was younger and didn’t know better; but now I am enlightened & I consider myself fairly experienced / educated in off-road recovery. I’ve been on a lot of recoveries for people that just weren’t well prepared…so I just wanted to...
What are the “must have” low buck upgrades for Bronco Sport?? I won’t put a specific dollar cap but try and keep it roughly in the free to $150 range…
My S/O ordered her Bronco Sport Outer Banks A51/Navy Pier and it’s now in production! As the car enthusiast of the household I think I’m more...
