2025 Bronco Heritage Edition 2.7L Build!!

[Harry The Heritage]

Hey all,

I figured now would be a good time to post my build thread as I only have 2 more items I want for the bronco. Which is a Lift and some auxiliary lighting.

April 26, 2025 I traded in my 2 dr base squatch for my brand new 2025 Heritage edition!

I wanted my heritage to be unique and different from all the other HEs on the road. So I installed Morimoto XRGB Headlights, and Morimoto XB Slim taillights. Upgraded from the capable bumper to a take off modular bumper, and added the turn off-road prerunner bar.

June 1st, 2025 I was trying to decide which retro graphics to go with. I was deciding to either go with Ranger stripes or the two tone side panels. Well long story short all the shops I asked said the Ranger stripes are too difficult to apply on the sas flares .

July 16th, 2025
I pulled the trigger on getting the spear removed and replaced with the two tone side panels. And holy smokes I was happy and proud of how good it turned out!!!

September 22, 2025
I wanted to protect the paint and vinyl of the heritage so I got full body and top XPEL PPF. This company I went with also applied a ceramic coat on top of the ppf as part of the package.

October 6, 2025
I replaced the side steps with take off badlands rock rails. Looks so much better and more functional for the trail.

October 19, 2025
I installed rigid tri pods fog lights. I reused the fog lights button on the inside from the capable bumper fogs for the amber lens pod. And had the other 2 pods wired to Aux 2.

October 30, 2025
Had to have a little fun for Halloween
So I changed the RGB color on the headlights to red and added a skeleton to the bumper.

January 11, 2026
Had an off road shop install the procal tune on my bronco!!! And wow! What a nice upgrade, the transmission is finally very smooth and not constantly shifting into the next gear. And it gained some power over stock. It now pushes 355hp and 433 torque.

Then after I got the bronco back I installed the Midland GMRS Radio above the glove box.

January 28, 2026
Installed the rough country 1 inch spacer leveling kit. And it looks so much better than stock, the rake is at a respectable level and not too much nose down.

Before:

After next to a stock Sasquatch:

February 5th, 2026
Installed the original bucking horse before it was modernized just to add more retro flare to my rig.

February 19, 2026
The Morimoto headlights were having some issues with the RGB function and I tried to warranty claim them and it didn’t go far. So decided to make the switch to DV8 headlights for better reliability.

March 5, 2026
I got the remaining skid plates I needed from ASFIR. Lower control arms, fuel tank, transfer case, rear shock skids, and the ASFIR front bash plate since the dealership had a deal on them.

June 4, 2026
I got my fender flares paint matched to the azure gray and got the metal bronco script that was used on the HEL. Also installed the Motley industries modular bumper lights mount.

Now looking at the Eibach coil lift for the Hoss 2.0. Anyone here have any recommendations on auxiliary lighting?

Looks great! Nice work.

Nice personalization.

However I never saw the point of a 4 door "Heritage" model as that was never part of the Bronco's heritage.

Looks good man, great work!

Looks great! Love what you did with the color! As for aux lighting. I love my M&R bumper 30" pro for the front bumper and it will fit with your Turn bumper. I'm not a big fan of lights on the roof or mirrors, so I went with that.

That’s ok. It was designed for people who do get the point.

Here is a discussion on the M&R. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/anyone-have-experience-with-m-r-light-bars.103339/page-3

The painted flares really complete the two tone look perfectly. Nicely done!

Thanks for the recommendation! I have heard good things about M&R, I will probably look into them more. Any pictures of the mounts for it?

I would probably have to go with their 20inch bar on the site as I have the Motley lights mount in the center of the bumper. As I like how the lights would be roughly in line with the prerunner center hoop.

I'm not good with my phone about sharing images, but if you look at that thread I linked I had some photos there. Looking at your bumper, I can see that it would interfere with anything. It mounts on top of the Turn bolts closest to the middle on the top of the bumper.

For me coming from a 2 dr base squatch to this 4 dr HE there were more pros to cons of the switch. Only thing I really miss that I can live without were the longer doors.

If anything my bronco looks more like these big boy OG broncos with the longer wheel base of the 4 dr. And I’m fine with that especially since funny enough the Gen 2s sold the most among the 5 generations.

Oh I see it now! Thank you so much

Thank you! I agree as when the flares were black it really broke up the two tone sequence

That is the only generation that I haven't owned! I want that!

Looks great! Painted flares are perfect. What size are those K02s/K03s ?
