I decided to change my order from a Black Diamond to a Badlands. I wanted the most off road capability I could get, plus bragging rights in my neighborhood.

Badlands is a great package. I kept debating those two and ended on Black Diamond. Are there any good trails out near Indy? Looking for some in Indiana that I can day trip to.

I’m looking for possibilities in/around Brown County. Also down along the Ohio on the southern border. No hills or terrain worth Jack north of Columbus.

I just made the switch from Outer Banks to Badlands. For $2K difference it just made more sense to me, plus I plan to off road mine enough to justify adding front lockers and sway bar disconnect.

I have to agree. If Ford hadn't provided all this time I would've gotten a base. Since I've had time to think about things I've changed to Black Diamond, and changed colors twice.

For as much money as you are spending, I say "get what you want and be happy". Smart move.

Just chiming in to say hey, from another Indy Metro area owner. Complete newb to off-roading and it may seem ridiculous for someone from Indiana to order a Squatched Badlands with our lack of terrain. But the plan is to get my family moved out west here soon. I’ve got several white whales to catch out there.

On our honeymoon, my wife and I tried to go see a waterfall called Abiquia Falls. The trail guide said it was .8 miles from the trailhead to the falls, which is true. But it didn’t mention that that was dependent on being able to get down a very rough road that our rental Kia Optima would never be able to handle. We tried to hike it, but the further we got into the valley, the darker it got. We got within earshot of it before deciding we had to turn back, but never caught sight of it. I can’t wait to go back and beast mode (err…I guess I should say G.O.A.T. mode) this trail in my Bronco and finally lay eyes on this beauty.

Road to Abiqua Falls
Anyway, I’ve heard of the place near Attica called Badlands. And the place near Brown County, called Haspin Acres. From what I’ve heard, the latter can get a bit crazy. I talked to a guy who said he had planned on camping over the weekend there, and ended up packing up and leaving in the middle of the night because he was worried that the police were going to come and he was going to be implicated in some illegal activities. So…not sure how enthused I am about trying that place out.

At any rate, we’ll have to organize a meet up once everyone has taken delivery.
