If you started your Bronco build over tomorrow, what would you do differently?

We've all learned a few things along the way 😅

Could be a mod you wish you had done sooner, a purchase you regret, something you spent too much money on, or something you thought you needed but didn't.

If you were starting your Bronco build from scratch tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do differently?

Buy four steps right away rather than buying a set of two, then another set of two.

Not bit on the hype machine around billet parts.

Totally, it depends on the parts though. We're not an expert here, but the split between forged and billet seems pretty even! Was there something particular you'd say wasn't worth the billet premium?

Luckily the "portal" closed right as I "steered" into it... Only cost me $6k! lol :whistle:

How long to we usually wait between Exoshield starting these posts, and Kilo showing up saying they'd install exoshield? About now?
if you say her name 3 times she'll appear.

Honestly nothing, my previous builds I leaned a lot in those years that helped me with the 6g build order.
I also read everything anyone did on this forum since the first one was delivered so I could make informed decisions when I was ready to get one.
This site has been the best resource for 6G build planning.

I Second that! My build is spot on for me. I used this forum to educate myself for my initial order. Then while waiting 18 months for the build/delivery, I was able to learn more and make several edits to my order. Ended up with a Bronco that I wouldn't change.
This forum was also a great resource for the many Bronco accessories to support my decision on what to buy and how to install.

Which steps did you end up going with?
IAG V2. I selected them several months before my Bronco arrived. I installed the first pair (front doors) before I even got behind the wheel.
