Anyone keeping their Bronco completely stock? No mods at all?

[foreWard]

I enjoy that only 2 of the first like 10 people who responded saying they kept it stock ACTUALLY kept it stock... 8 out of 10 said "other than x, y, and z...it is completely stock"

My '21 Badlands is stock and probably will stay that way. OK, I did put USA Flag emblems on the side rear windows, but I don't think that counts.
From all the wandering on and off road I've done so far, the Bronco is highly capable and doesn't need any tweaking, (IMHO).

I doubt anyone has it completely stock.

My Badlands has clear PPF and door-sill guards. Adding a factory tow hitch in a few weeks.

Focal tweeters, Rockgrod Fosgate Sub, and drilled and slotted brake rotors is all we got on ours that ain't stock. I want to do more to give more power, handle better, etc, but we have not explored everything it has to offer on, and off road yet. If you don't know what your base is, how do you know how good what you have added is? Or do we do like Jeep owners and add to just add...

I've got a stock base 2-door, but did add some OBX tires from CL, and some Clamber tube running boards. Since the OBX 32s are pretty much stock for any 2.7 with a 3.73 differential -- I figure that is as close to stock as you can get since the drive train is the same (i.e. auto with the 2.7). Also had to add a front license plate bracket to the modular bumper, but that is really about it. Hard not to add a front-bracket in CA. Enjoying the heck out of it, and getting good (23) gas MPG on the road.

I would like to know if anybody has added leather wrap to their Base steering wheel. That is one other thing I'm thinking about.

With all the modding going on I was wondering if there was someone out there that was driving their Bronco just as it came from the factory.

No new wheels, no stickers, leaving emblems on, no stereo upgrades etc.

Not saying either way is better or worse.. just wondering

Stock: 2dr base, 2.3, stick (long wait for tranny parts of 2 months over/TSB fix). No mods. Did buy tube doors so wife can go doorless & topless. Nothing El$e.....current mileage 2,800.

Out of curiosity, why does a "pavement princess" need(want?) a 2" lift?

Mine is a pavement princess, so no serious mods for me. I’ve got a two inch lift and did a rear seat delete, but other than that just seat covers (dog hair protection), floor mats, and a spare tire cover.

A crooked Idaho sticker is especially "moddy"

Mine is almost unmodified. I added an Idaho sticker with a Sasquatch on it - does that count as a sticker?

I also added mudflaps after realizing how much mud and rocks a Sasquatch kicks up off road.

But that is all.

You can see the sticker in this photo from before I added the mudflaps.

OK, I'll be like everyone else.

Sure, mine is completely stock, except for ...

I have a different definition of "stock". I didn't read all 9 pages but I think 99.9% of respondents are "stock". Minor bolt on parts, audio, wheels, and the like don't qualify. When you start doing major suspension and body work or when the engine is opened up for upgraded internals/strokers, now you're modified, everything else is close enough as to make no difference.
IMO.

Dealer had already done it. I bought mine used with a few thousand miles on it.

Ah, makes sense.

[Bellime]

Yeah, except for…….well…..just a little…….maybe…..oh what the hell

Lol Ok. No. Bloody Hell no. I was modded two days into ownership. Nothing I own is stock. The list of mods is in my sig, and that's just the stuff for performance and driving. Does not include the interior upgrades, audio, and appearance.

Like the Mustang, the Bronco begs to be modded. It whispers to you to mod it. It nudges you to get this, buy that, fabricate that piece for fitment. The word MODULAR means something on the Bronco. So I have modulated until the cows have come home !
