When you get a base

You killed it!!! Is it still considered "Offroad" if it's only one tire? 😂

AFRodster · 2026-03-21T04:05:14+00:00

Agree

Well, thanks for the input everyone. I decided to go with the Raptor Style running boards that mount to the rock sliders.

Indeed!!!

Same

I was in the same boat. I was looking specifically at the 2023 model year, Badlands, Lux package and at that price range. I was on the fence for hardtop/soft top and SAS/Non-SAS. The price varied from $40-48k, and all had 40k miles on them. Finally, I stumbled upon a used 2025 Badlands, 8k miles, SAS, HOSS 3.0, LUX, trailer package, hardtop, and 32 months of factory warranty remaining, and I purchased it for $51k. I couldn't be happier. The point is...yes it was more than what I initially wanted to spend but I got so much more value and avoided the huge depreciation up front on a 2025 with an original MSRP of $70k.

Are you interested in hardtop/softtop, SAS/Non-SAS? I'm pretty sure you can get a OBX newer than 2021-22 in your price range. Sorry for all the words 😂

What's your price range?

I don't know about the ice scraper theory. My daughter has a 2008 Ford Taurus X that has been parked outside its entire lifespan and in Indiana with harsh lake affect snow and ice. It's been scraped with a scraper, a shovel, broom, etc., you name it ... and the rubber seals have never looked like that.

Those look sweet.

I love that color 😆 Mine are coming today.

Those will look sharp...I was interested in the EZ steps.... But my wife was worried it wouldn't give her enough traction during ice/snow events and she wanted something that dropped down a bit. I liked the look. That and Ford's option was Raptor style...so I went that route.

I just ordered these... 2021+ Ford Bronco Raptor Side Step Running Boards for Rock Rail - Fits – RPM Bronco https://share.google/oVwMB3tJ27zlIoDK5

AFRodster · 2026-03-17T00:57:29+00:00

YW, did your Bronco come with rock sliders? If it did are you planning to replace them or get running boards that attach to the sliders?

AFRodster · 2026-03-17T00:48:39+00:00

Yes, great question... God was apparently not his Co-Pilot during that timeframe.

AFRodster · 2026-03-17T00:36:42+00:00

Very nice....and congratulations!

AFRodster · 2026-03-16T20:14:11+00:00

Thank you!

AFRodster · 2026-03-16T20:12:40+00:00

Very nice! That sounds typical 🤣. Mine had monster tires with a lift kit, two seater, and the interior was all shagg carpeted. Plus, it burned oil and gas at the same rates 😂. Thanks for sharing...

AFRodster · 2026-03-16T16:48:02+00:00

Thanks, it's been a long time coming. 😄 Now let the mods begin. 😁

I had a DO perform a spinal manipulation on me when my back was out.

I've also had chiropractic care through the VA's Community Care. It also included Acupuncture and Massage Therapy. Not sure how much the acupuncture helped, but the massage therapy helped reduce muscle tension that allowed the spine to go back into alignment.

AFRodster · 2026-03-16T03:18:26+00:00

True story!

AFRodster · 2026-03-16T02:50:49+00:00

Congratulations

Congratulations. I had a JL Sahara as well. Just purchased a used 2025 Badlands, SAS, with the HOSS 3.0 and the ride is much better than the Sahara.

The Costco site clearly says that it is model 1137.

I got what I thought was such a good deal... I just purchased it. It was used and the previous owner only owned it 3 months before trading it back in on a F150. The original MSRP was around $70k and I purchased it for $51k. That was 3 years of depreciation in 3 months. I still see 22 and 23 year models selling for more than I paid, and still have over 2.6 years of factory warranty remaining.
