I normally don't name vehicles at all so I just came up with Diablo more just for clickbait and thought it fit the Hot Pepper Red...lol. Just wanted to share some pics of the mods as I add them to my 4 door soft top Hot Pepper Red Badlands. I am really loving the color and have already had tons of compliments. Also as I have heard from many it was worth the wait! I'll add more pics later as I add more things I have already purchased and have time to install them. I have to give a shout out to www.johnsoncityford.com as they were great to deal with. They price matched my original price with no argument about the mid year price increase. They also price-matched the extended warranty quote I brought from Granger, which I'm glad I did because that saved me $700. They surprised me also by giving me a Ford rear cargo mat and the Ford rear door molle system. https://www.stage3motorsports.com/v...fU64uhbdVpnCbbToGUuuCDlYQ9vxnqqhoCXsEQAvD_BwE

Drove straight from the dealer to the tire shop for wheels and tires.

@JcrOffroad pre-runner bar. It did take some pretty good "persuasion" to get on. Both sets of outside holes were close to a 1/4" off from lining up. I elongated the holes then used a tie down strap hooked to the hitch on my truck to pull it over enough to get all the bolts in. Otherwise well made and like the look, and it matches the color of the mod bumper very well.

I have quite a few stickers from them I need to still install also.

@Fast Intentions Inc. door sill protectors. They are a nice heavy material so seems like they will hold up well. https://www.fastintentions.com/prod...2-7l-2021/bronco-2-7l-2021-interior-exterior/ I hope to eventually add their exhaust also.

@Sinister CNC gear hooks. Seem heavy duty and I like they have added the pad to the back now also. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/bronco-cargo-area-gear-hooks.40018/

Ford Bronco Badlands Diablo Build ๐Ÿ‘น (Updated SVC Off Road 2" Lift ) seat protectors

@Mabett seat back protectors nice heavy material and super easy to install with heavy velcro. I still don't understand the reasoning behind having the MGV washout interior and floors being all vinyl and plastic with carpet on the back of the back seats. I guess it's cheaper to just have one set of seat covers that way. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@vortexSigns phone holder. I like the flexibility of adjustment. https://www.vortexsigns.com/car-dec...bronco_dashboard_articulatingarm_phone_holder
I attached it to a 1/4 20 plate I got on Amazon for multiple mounting options as a much cheaper solution than some of the rails. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YWNC97B?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Got the Bodyguard cowl light mounts hooked up this afternoon. I like these because they set the lights up a little higher and give several options to mount them left to right and are large enough to mount multiple lights if you want. The LED lights are some cheapo made in China lights I picked up at a swap meet a while back. I tested them out tonight and they were much brighter than I expected. The AUX switches made it a breeze!

I used some water proof connectors from Amazon that worked really well since the lights didn't have any connectors. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJPMML6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Put on the @StickerFab Badlands hood vinyl. I like the contrast it added and accents the hood hump. Also glad I got the extra one because I didn't take myu time with the first one and messed it up
https://www.stickerfab.com/collecti...cts/badlands-stealth-hood-overlay-2021-bronco

Installed two white Nilight LEDS on each side
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BFZN88K?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
And one Lasfit Yellow SAE fog.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093L894P7?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
I mounted them all with the @JcrOffroad mounting brackets. They worked really well and gave plenty of flexibility with mounting with the multiple rows of slotted holes.
https://www.jcroffroad.com/product/BR6SB-FG.html
I swapped out the headlight switch for the one with a fog light button and used forscan to activate it so I could use that button for the yellow fogs and wired up the 4 white LEDS to an Aux switch. This thread has all the info about swapping out the headlight switch
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/factory-fog-light-switch.22937/

Used Forscan to Add Sport Mode (Wow!!), Disabled double honk when getting out while running (This became even more annoying when I found out it still happens even with the doors off), disabled Auto Start Stop, Enabled window close with key fob, recalibrated speedo for new tire size

Some great stuff in there. I'm taking notes, need to add to my pile of mods before the Bronco arrives.

Looks great! I have the same rig, except high package and sasquatch. I agree on the compliments from the color - I get them all the time, and I've never seen another Hot Pepper Red Bronco out on the road. In certain lighting, mine looks almost burnt orange. Does yours as well?

If you put on 315s with zero offset, consider getting squatch flares, to tuck the tire fling. Otherwise or and, get the sides PPFd!

Yes definitely looks burnt orange in certain lighting and the dealer said this is the only one they have sold so far.

Yeah I am definitely thinking about the sasquatch flares because I do have quite a bit of poke now.
