Love the colour, trying to get the wife to let me paint the rims off the old one cyber orange but she won't let me. Not done bugging her though, lol!

@@Quebecmike80 just fixed a leaking valvecover, ready to go. So is boots and dora. Getting a fleet here🫣🫣

@@thomassarver7638 glad you enjoyed it! We have to get a lift and bigger tires on this one so it will be as capable as our 2021.

@@rhealgoguen4363 no this is a badlands. If yours is a big bend, make sure you add skid plates before you off road it!

My kid is in Trenton so we took the bronco up there and did some "fire roads", nothing like this but it was fun. (lived in Petawawa for 4 years too)

@ I live about 2.5 hrs. East of Trenton. Little village on Rideau Canal called Merrickville. If you or your buds are ever this way be great to see you. Could show you a few fairly tame trails

@@HorrorFun23 drilling holes? Driving in water?

And just think, everything compared to the US $$ is at least double if not triple up here. Some of these guys are driving a mortgage around! LOL!

Thanks, glad you liked it!

I followed the instructions and removed the plate and used the longer bolts supplied to install the skid plate.

Believe it or not, this was a "family" gathering with everyone in the video related, LOL!! We need a lift and big tires like our 2021 called "baby" had.

@@bobjakubik4381 lol, our 21BS had black roof and rims, think i like it better

No, we wrecked the 2021 named "Baby", this is the 2023 named "Daisy" lol.

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 When did you pick up Daisy?

@@gvsukids we wrecked baby 4th of April 2024 so two Saturdays after that. Wasn’t allowed to post the crash video until she cooled down🫣

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 I thought maybe snow came early to you

@@gvsukids 😂 😂 😂

No, never even played with the goat modes, it just goes!

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 That's good and interesting to know. I haven't had a chance to off road with my 2024 Badlands yet. Am anxious too do it though.

@@edgybob1 you (and whoever is with you) will be surprised at how well it goes! Oh, if you get stuck, use the gas and brake to spool up the turbo when you fwd/rev/fwd to rock it. Otherwise, you let off the brake and hit the gas and it rolls forward with 50hp or so and then when you hit the end of the rut, the boost kicks in and it spins😂😂

@@UnOfficialAP she’s getting there 😂😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it. Just got back from the same spot last weekend. Working on that video now.

@@trapcoach maybe, it is a free market and that is how it works….

Thanks, yes we were blessed to be safe in a crash like that with me the only one with a seatbelt on! Wife scrunched into the floor on the passenger side and hung on and the passenger in the back hung onto my seat and ended between the front seats laying on the console. Why was no-one wearing a seatbelt? It’s 15 minutes home on secondary roads and I’m only going 50kmph (30mph).🫣🫣

No it was snowing but the tires made wet tire tracks because it was above freezing. At the top of the mountain though, there was black ice under the snow. Was going about 50km's in a 80 zone.

Actually we already replaced it with a 2023 because you can't get cyber orange in 2024! We bought a new unsold one off the dealers lot. To be honest, this one has a moonroof and leather interior, neither thing I wanted but it was a badlands in cyber orange and we got a discount because it was a "left over" 2023. We just got back from a mud run (everyone again was on 35's up to 55" tractor tires) and made it less than we did with "baby" our 2021 badlands because we don't have a lift or different tires. That video will be coming out "soon" lol.

@@gvsukids this plate bolts on under the front, there is a light tin plate directly under the engine i replaced with an aluminum sheet (street sign, lol) and a steel skid plate i fabricated under the middle on the drivers side protecting the evap canister and fuel lines.

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 So does this not cover the same area as the engine skid plate?

@@gvsukids it covers under the front bumper and extends back to where the tin plate under the oil pan is. Without this skid plate, you can break the plastic bumper and jam a rock through the tin plate under the engine. This protects the front, then the tin cover covers back to the back of the k-member. If you off road a badlands you have protection for the gas tank and a tin plate for the oil pan. Non badlands don’t have the tin plate (its only felt) and dont have gas tank skid plates. If you are going to off road, you need to install a front skid plate to protect the plastic bumper and small bits down there. If you have a non-badlands BS, then do NOT off road until you add some sort of protection. I replaced the tin plate under the engine as well, because i felt it wasn’t going to protect the truck where i was going. Same reason i pulled the felt garbage off the bottom of the truck and added a belly skid plate.

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 So owning a badlands, this really only helps protect the bottom of the plastic and doesn't replace the engine plate?

@@gvsukids yes, i just went out and looked at our new badlands, apparently i left the metal plate under the engine and this is bolted on from the four front bolts under the front. There is a steel plate i forgot about and the tin cover i was talking about before is the tin plate/heat shield behind the engine skid plate. So, if you go over a rock and come down on top of it, the factory steel plate under the engine will protect it. However, if you run into a rock(which is 99% more likely to happen) then this skid plate protects the bottom of the bumper and the plastic stuff in front of the factory skid plate under the engine. If you off road, you should get a front skid plate like this so you have protection, not only under the engine or only the gas tank, but front to rear. If you dont clear a rock, you will smash into it with this plate or your plastic bumper, cant say it any more clear than that.

@@bigvortex1921 i saw a video of a bronco sport in russia, off roading, that was cool to see! спасибо за подписку spasibo za podpisku

We..I wrote off our 2021 cyber orange bronco and since they don't have cyber orange for 2024 we bought a new 2023 in cyber orange. Love the colour too!!

@@CentralFloridaBigfoot lol! Yeah she’s not scared of “let’s see what’s down this trail”😂😂😂

@@CentralFloridaBigfoot id rather have your warm weather 😂😂

@@lowrangeinnovascotia2930 Nope! Way too hot and muggy. People don't get it. LOL

Do it! Take it on fire roads and stuff first so you get used to where the wheels are and how to avoid rocks, but yes, you have to enjoy it more than just "an awd car that's great in the winter". They are very capable!

it snto really a power thing i tested the limits of deep snow in my bnroco sport it just cant get any grip after a certain depth now with snow tires it might have been ok

Can’t remember if it was this video or the next. The voltage regulator went bad and put it to 18-20 volts which blew the computer, the pick up in the distributor and while I did change the tfi module, once I got it running I put the old original back in. It’s still in and running.

Not really, it’s 1 1/2” thick and that extra inch and a half isn’t worth possibly crunching the rockers. Unless you look, you wouldn’t know they are there, that’s one reason I made them that way. Glad you like them, the other reason I bolted them straight to the rockers was because I didn’t want to have bars hanging down and sticking out out place.

Oh we do! If I knew how good retirement was, I would of done it 30 years ago!😂😂😂

Thanks, you just convinced me my decision to keep the BS was right! (Not saying I won’t get a full size just to play with, lol)

@@JoeKington excellent comment! I had an epiphany the other day, we had to put our dog down end of august and both boys are gone now… we don’t “need” the room we had. Love the fact we can jump in the sport and drive 18hrs to visit my oldest carrying everything for a week and still getting incredible mileage. Big bronco is becoming more and more in range of a reality. (Not for 4 more years now though, lol)

Your badlands will more than impress you and everyone around with its abilities! Want to see water/mud capabilities? Check out this video where everyone else was on 35" tires or bigger, up to tractor tires! Even a toyota truck on 31's turned around!! ua-cam.com/video/CDaWggX_D9o/v-deo.html

A homemade belly plate, I did a video when I originally installed it on baby, our 2021 that got wrote off.

Oh I know they will! lol!

Video is boring because I was trying to get this done as quick as possible and get back to working on my mustang, first race is two weeks away!

They are WAY more capable than people realize!

LOL! Yes we like it too, no idea why they would stop making it. Now if I can convince her to get some black graphics, lol!

I wasnt a fan of gunmetal roof either but in person I love it on my '23 in Iconic Silver. Goes great with the wheels.

Hmmm, I know she said she wants to wait for a bit before putting a lift on, but 2.5”?? Now that sounds interesting! And bigger tires are ALWAYS better!!😂😂

Thanks!

Yes this is a badlands. I too heard there were differences in the front bumper shape but HRG could answer that. Pretty sure the one he installed in his video was a outer banks. I’d say yes though, the front skid plate is only four screws and spacers that replace the factory screws.

LOL!! Funny part is, although I play guitar/banjo/harmonica/banjitar/fiddle and the wife plays drums (well used to in a band) I no longer find the inspiration to even listen to music, let alone play it. Any music is 100% her, not me. I like to drive in silence and listen to the vehicle.

Thanks! She can’t go by a trail without saying “I wonder where that goes “?? 😂😂😂😂 Gives me lots of content 😁
