There’s nothing especially unique or interesting about my build, although I LOVE it, but I got A TON of awesome advice from this forum, so figured I’d share my truck and what I’ve done to it over the past month since I brought it home.
First of all, it came from Michigan with MIC, Lux, MOD, and tow.
I’ve added the following;
Go Rhino RB30 (w/ bedliner coating) - https://www.gorhino.com/i-30507977-rb30-running-boards-with-mounting-bracket-kit.html - Quality of these seems good. The installation instructions were absolutely horrible, but it was super straightforward and took me about an hour to do both sides. Bedliner finish was quite expensive, but looks nice and I’m sure will hold up to winters in New England better than the standard black powder coat.
Rokblokz (XL - front only) - https://rokblokz.com/products/ford-bronco-2021-mud-flaps - These are AWESOME. Fantastic product. Super well packed. Shipped fast. Excellent quality components. Easy to build and install. Expensive, but super impressive.
Votex 6.75” antenna - https://www.amazon.com/Original-Inch-Stainless-Threading-Reception/dp/B07VWS9V5S - Not much to say about this little stubby. Installed in a few seconds, looks good, works well.
All Weather Cargo Liner and Mats - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YLNCGF...0143ca6598238abd955ad55&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&th=1 - LOVE these! They fit the whole vehicle PERFECTLY. I’ve got two little kids and 2 dogs, and can’t recommend them highly enough. They’re only a month old, but seem to be holding up well, and they’re super easy to clean up / vacuum. Really like how extensive the coverage is.
2 Piece Center Console Organizer - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5XJWKD3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1365LFSU0N8WD&th=1 - Center console is a huge waste of space without organizers…These are nice, fit well, and were cheap.
Sill Guards - https://havocoffroad.com/p/havoc-door-entry-guards/hav-hfb-08-002/#scrollTarget-install - No matter how many times I tell my kids not to step on the sills, it’s a big step up into the truck, and they forget…so I really like these for the extra protection they offer. Kinda stingy with the double sided tape, but they’re stuck on good for now.
Grille Letter Overlays - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5XJWKD3/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A1365LFSU0N8WD&th=1 - These were just a silly aesthetic preference thing. They’re nicely sized, went on super easy, and look good. I used tweezers to peel off the tape backing, which was easier than trying to get in there with my fingers. Oh, and unrelated, but I HATE the crappy trim level stickers, and think the retro script is extremely played out at this point, so just peeled the stickers off one afternoon when it was warm out (shockingly easy), and like the clean, stealthy, de-badged look.
Front License Plate Bracket - https://www.4x4truckleds.com/kr-off-road-license-plate-bracket-for-2021-ford-bronco/ - Awesome product. Super sturdy and well built. Went on in like a minute. Would rather no front plate at all, but since I gotta have one, this was a good solution.
Bartact paracord Grab Handles (4x) Black/Anvil - https://www.bartact.com/products/br...co-full-size-2021-2022-2023-pair-of-2-bartact - Pretty much mandatory for my kids and wife to get into the truck. I don’t love the look, but a well made product.
Console Armrest Cover - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B7R6BGJC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A108QTUJ372U49&psc=1 - This was a spontaneous late night Amazon purchase, but it’s actually awesome. Cheap, super comfortable, fits extremely well, and looks good. Doesn’t really add anything, but I’m glad I got it…and my right elbow thanks me.
Bumper Plugs - https://bumperplugs.com/bumperplugs-for-ford - Needed these because the idiots at the dealership drilled in the front plate bracket before I could tell them not to. I get that it’s required, but wish they’d ask first, provide an alternate installation option, or just tell me it’s my responsibility and look the other way. Bumper plugs are a giant ripoff, but they’re good quality, perfectly paint matched, installed quickly, and look good (all things considered).
Mod Bumper Triple Fog Lights - https://www.4x4truckleds.com/baja-designs-triple-fog-light-kit-w-kr-off-road-bezel-flush-brackets-for-2021-ford-bronco

Before I talk about the lights, I want to shout out Adam @4x4TruckLEDs.com . I messaged him here. He was responsive and thorough. Then I called him and he spent a half hour going through options and helping me figure out what to get. Super nice guy. Extremely knowledgable. I placed my order over the phone, the lights were shipped out an hour later, and I got them the next day. As for the lights themselves, they’re awesome…Oh…Adam’s flush mount bracket is bomber and his wiring harness is almost completely foolproof…definition of plug and play. Lights went onto the bracket easy. Bracket went onto the MOD bumper easy. Wiring was surprisingly easy. The only thing that sucked was adjusting the lights, and then trying to secure them at the proper angle after they were mounted…In fact, it was pretty much impossible to get back there with a hex key to tighten them down…I might have been doing something wrong, but I don’t really see how it’s possible to tighten the middle S2 after it’s installed. Other than that, I’m SUPER happy with the kit and the lights.
That’s pretty much it…nothing earth shattering or super special…but some great products from some awesome companies that I’m happy to support.
Final note: Sorry about the pics. I’m currently out of town for a week, and my 73 year old dad took these pics on my mom’s iPhone…
