Starting this thread a bit late. Still in the Jeep world with my Diesel Wrangler Rubicon.
Order 6/02/23 and took delivery 8/30/23. Not sponsored or affiliated with any of the brands I went with. I stepped away from sponsorships in several industries before the bronco.
Ordered @fifteen52 Range_HD in bronze, with the oem tires and Mishimoto open end neochrome lugs
Ordered and installed the Antirocks
Enjoyed her for a couple weeks, also added the usual tint
Since I run the dirt quite often with a couple of groups I admin, needed a few necessities to make dirt life easier. Installed the Tackform dash mount, touchscreen protector, midland mxt575
Picked tackform as I can move or change out mounts without removing the base plate. Takes literally a minute or two.
First two times out on a trail with my spare portable compressor reminded me to get an ARB With the AAL cargo mount, away from dust and heat. Easily accessible with my 4 hose ezflate kit.
Tweaked the plastic rear bumper 2 days after delivery coming off a rock during a stormy evening and ordered the @Metalcloak rear bumper. Went this route as I run the same on my other rig and it has been through quite a bit. I especially like the bumper reinforcements for mounting.
Decided to go back to old faithful with @Discount Tire and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT in 37's as I have run these on a couple of rigs and they do well. Took advantage of using the Discount Tire card online and military discounts. As a quick and temporary fix, ordered/installed the RPG perch collars as well.
We do quite a few night runs so started on lights..... @Baja Designs LP6 is my go-to so just duplicated it as I have the same on my other rig. @RCI Offroad sliders in the pic, was awaiting for the other to show up which led to waiting on the proper HW kit.
EDIT - This bar has been removed and have gone to the VR light mount which is shown farther down. This bar had the lights bouncing around to an extreme level.
RCI 20 degree sliders installed
Didn't like the partial white BRONCO lettering so got them blacked out covers to blend in a bit, somewhere along the way I added the @BroncBuster sleeve for the Hoss3.0 tie rod, forgot the when.
BTW, what's better than a wild donkey? Sorry, wasn't in the bronco that day
Of course, 3 donkeys
More to come later. XL80 ditch lights on order. Awaiting for the reinforced tailgate with hinge from @Turn Offroad.
Things I'm poindering on or just dont have the funds quite yet:
Suspension changes
@74Weld billet steering rack
@TrailRax half rack with pak rax
and then who knows.....
Edit 11.14.23
Added some ditch lights, instead of squadron pros as on my other rig, decided to get the XL80. Originally was going with the LP4 but made more sense for these.
The light brackets are not going to work for me as they will vibrate/rattle on the trail.
I have now ordered the @4x4TruckLEDs.com mount which will be much more solid. No glare on hood as these are meant to be true ditch lights. Between these and the LP6 on the front, the coverage/FOV is great. Will get a pic from a night run once I get the new mounts.
Not affiliated with 4x4truckleds but here is the kit I ordered.

Received and installed the @Turn Offroad spare tire carrier, total hinge replacement and the tire carrier mount itself is adjustable to your wheels/tire width. This thing is heavy duty which is what I would expect.
Still awaiting the ditch light mount as it will arrive Monday.
Ok so the mounts came in and ditch lights have zero rattle now. Much better now as the previous mount rattled like a bobblehead going down fairly smooth street.
RCI gas skid arrived, will install probably by this weekend.
12.07.23, just installed a couple nights ago as the weekend was full of wheeling and then working on the jeep. There were no issues with the install, everything went smooth, split one of my impact sockets though.
UPDATE: December 2023 installed the VR light mount and have done night runs. Still a very slight bobble over the roughest washboards but not bad enough to again look for another solution. Also threw on the pinch seam covers by RCI, no pic added unless requested.
I would definitely not consider this to be a part of a mild build, just purely cosmetics. Ordered these from @StickerFab, if you are military/first responders don't forget to get verified for a discount. Multiple choices in colors but went with red as I will have a couple of accessories in red on the vehicle in the future. I have used covers for the LP6 during the day and especially our longer distances runs to keep the lens from taking on the wear n tear. Now added covers for the XL's.
