I LOVE my Bronco, but I've gotta say honestly I'm already regretting some of my build choices.

1. I regret compromising on the top for quick delivery from the MIC. I plan to order one as SOON as they're available to purchase from Ford
2. I regret compromising on the tow package which I've already ordered.
3. I am MOST regretful for not ordering the Sasquatch package know I'd be wanting to take my bronco out on the trails because it was only a few thousand more than I paid for my Badlands


My questions:

Am I causing any long term damage to my vehicle by just lifting and adding 35's to it, to go out on the trails.
Do I need to consider a making changes to my transmission to take it off road (and just drive it on the road for that matter)

I did the Off-Roadeo in Texas, and I don't recall seeing 33's on ANY of those vehicles.

HELP!

I put the 35's on, and tried it out to make sure it'd still give ne a bit of travel...
I think I'm good. noticeable loss of giddy up on entrance ramps, but nothing earth moving...

I think I'm good.

Black Beauty I am surprised at how nice it looks with the black rims. What are your plans for fog lights? I have some but no Bronco. (2dr Black Badlands Non -Squatch) The ones I have would look really good on yours.

Like Shoresy, I purposely grabbed a Badlands with 33's at Moab, as that is what i ordered, and wantedto see if my decision was the right one. Outside of scrapping the underbelly more often, the Bronco easily climbed everything, and was just as capable as the 35's. I will keep the 33's as my winter tires and run 37's for spring, summer and fall. I have no regrets with my build...
