Trooper my Everglades build

Finally got around to installing the Trailrax roof rack and other addons.
Trailrax I ended up missing some black washers from the kit so I ended up spraying some Stainless steel ones black. the mounting points above the windshield suck to reach. I also added a Trailgater fold down table, I love it no drilling required. Extra of the camper my parents and I purchased together.

Looks great, @Mandogus! I haven't seen that table prior to this; seems like a good product.

Nice work @Mandogus one beautiful Everglades. I took the factory rack off a few weeks ago, thinking about getting the TrailRax myself but for now we are enjoying the easy off tops.

Like how Ford did the snorkel for the everglades. Wish OEM snorkel was available on Badlands.

I have seen in pics that the everglades wiperfluid tank is not in the fender unlike my badlands. Odd location for it but is what it is.

How do you like the Molle Panel on the center console? I have been window shopping for accessories and panels are on my list.

I have a feeling the Everglades washer fluid tank and other passenger side bits will make it into the other trim levels of the Bronco this way one could easily add the snorkel if they wanted. Probably for the MY24 refresh along with the Everglades fenders and an option for the Glades wheels. Just my gut feeling. And the Everglades will go the way of the dodo.

You know that wouldn't surprise me at all. I have been "stalking" the bronco for a while and talking to people and the everglades doesn't seem as popular but maybe I am misreading things. I could see the OEM snorkel and other glade options becoming a build available option on other trim levels and Ford just used the everglades to get input.

Think I am going to have to add that to my list. JCROffRoad has so many panels for the Bronco my bank will kill me if I start going wild.

Yeah I don’t really understand why more folks didn’t opt for the Glades I love mine. But there are only ~1000 Everglades built and only a limited number were the Desert Sand so I feel super lucky to have mine. If I had to guess the price and lack of v6 is what turned folks off. My original build was a nosquatch badlands manual high package that was right at $50k the Glades was $55k. The only option I added was the paint color.

I think it has two reasons for lack of interest. No 2.7 and no lux. If you get the tune and a new exhaust your getting plenty of power. In fact the magnaflow overland exhaust is next on my list
