(fun list!) Bronco accessories to be avoided! (keep it friendly)

Do they make those dumb angry headlights for the Bronco yet like I see on the Jeeps? I serious hate those more than I should. LOL I automatically think the driver is an idiot. Please tell me they don't exist for the Bronco. If they do then that is the dumbest accessory.

Probably the Mabett dash pads. I have tons of their products but these kinda stink. They really aren't "grippy" enough to stop things like a phone or sunglasses from sliding around on the dash. IMO they should be more like a rubber material with some plushness but they are closer to a hard plastic. Sorry Mabett.... Love everything else I have bought from you

Yes, the "grumper" grill is available

How about the Ford slide-out cargo gizmo that claims to let you stretch out for sleeping in the Bronco or sitting on it, like a tailgate? We looked long and hard at adding one while doing the "Build and Price" at the dealer's. I thought it would be like sitting on the tailgate, enjoying the view, and having a cold one as we do on my truck. The wife objected that it was not solid enough to be functional and was overpriced, which I agreed with, and we decided against it. Did we do the right thing? Does anybody have one who likes it?

The part sitting on a shelf in my garage still are my Rock Lights. I tried enlisting help to get them installed with no luck. Also - Not the highest priority; I'm not out at night enough to show off the underglow I was sure that I really needed.

Mine had the hood protector when I bought it. While I don’t love the looks, I also don’t have any windshield chips in 18,000 miles.

It was one of the first things I got for mine. 27k miles and no cracks yet. And when you park next to a bronco without one in the summer you see just how many bugs it does deflect.

Ford cargo drawer. Pain to remove and reinstall on as needed. Cannot access the trunk without removing drawer. Width is short and leaves 2-4 " open space on each side for stuff to fall into.

I love the cargo drawer but it has flaws. I spent too much time building a platform to go on top of it to resolve the gap on the sides. And bought a hitch-cargo basket to make up for the lost storage space. But I love the ability to keep some items in the storage box at all times.

The TopLift Pros door cart. It's made for Jeeps and they did a half-assed job retrofitting it to work with Bronco doors. It just holds the doors upright but it does not secure them at all and the cover doesn't fit over the wider Bronco doors. They will fall right off without some extra bungee cords.

That said, the TLP lift works flawlessly.

Actually I like how they look, not that I would put one on the Bronco. But they look pretty good on a Jeep. I guess if you like how it looks then go ahead

They did look good but then one time I saw a meme about them and now I cannot respect them

IAG rear cup holder - they sent a replacement magnet totally unprovoked/unrequested (which was nice - have always had great service from them) but the metal bracket does not work to secure the cupholder down with ANY type of floor mat installed. And having it down on the floor just doesn't work for daily life with my family/two kids.

THIS! I thought it was just me, but trying to stuff the rubber floor mats under it is an utter pain in the butt. Thanks for reaffirming my experience!

Add the Ford folding tailgate table. The table itself is decent but requires you drill 4 holes in the tailgate of your new Bronco and the hardware Ford supplies to mount it once you’ve drilled those holes is garbage.

Yeah, I replaced those nutserts iwth rivnuts and it worked a lot better.

The Bronco script letters. Definitely does not look good

I second that.
Overplayed? Maybe. The 80's blocky text doesnt fit well either.

Best one Ive seen is the "1966 edition" Amazon badges.

I know.... it's amazon. Gave a couple things a try and resorted back to better quality.

Ditch light brackets, these rattled bad but in it's defense, I have XL80s which are heavy.
A-Pillar Light Bar Brackets for Bronco, Front Bumper LED Ditch Light Bracket for 3" Light Pod Compatible with 2021-2023 Ford Bronco 2/4 Door

Bumper hoop, again rattle so bad I had to turn them off. Had 2 LP6 mounted and had to again, purchase something of higher quality
