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

[Lèòn]

Why?

The 2.3 has more power than I need, so why consider updating something to get more power?

Did I say power? Im talking longevity, the plastic endtanks of the stock intercooler will probably crack and stuff within 5+yrs?

Power is awesome, but if Im sticking with her for years, even if it aint that intercooler, still going with quality over adequate

Also, theres this thread

again, longevity first then power

And when it breaks, I'll look at replacing it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

And Im all about modding, as you can see when you scroll down.

my only frustration is the parts I want arent available just yet, otherwise it aint stock for long

So besides your audio upgrade (subs and speakers), changing out wipers, a couple spare tire covers, aftermarket hitch, tire locks, installing new badges, windows tinted, sill protection, etc, etc, etc,....... Did you have two Bronco's, one with all the mods you said you did and another one with no mods?

We have a different definition of what a mod is...wiper blades, seriously?
Everything I did had no affect on the vehicles performance, some of the accessories I added make total sense, some maybe not.
Mods to me are, wheels, tires, lift kit, engine tuning, etc, etc, etc...which I never considered any of.

Completely stock other than a bullet antenna

LOL, the OP laid out his definition in his first post:
"No new wheels, no stickers, leaving emblems on, no stereo upgrades etc."

Pretty sure your audio upgrades (speaker and sub), debadging and rebadging your Bronco, failed those criteria.

The longer I wait for it to arrive - the less "stock" it gets - LOL

I put a license plate on the back bumper.

I got pod lights and tints on mine. May do the ford performance tune and fog light but thats it.

I get tempted to go higher and bigger with the wheels/suspension but its doing everything I need. Really drives great on the highway and I can sit happily at 85mph on my 3 hour drive to my farm then go right on the trails and eat them up. Hit her with the power washer and drive back to the city and park it anywhere. Suites my needs really well so not sure mods will improve much for me.

I have a 2022 4 door hard top Badlands with SAS, Lux, and tow package and do not plan modifications, just a few additions. I added SAE fog lights and a couple of small cornering lights to the bumper as well as pair of ditch lights. No need for more light as I will not be running any high speed desert runs. I also installed an on board air compressor. I will install a small roof rack and that will be it.

I purchased the Badlands with the modular steel bumper, metal skid plates, and Bilstein suspension, so that I would not have to make modifications.

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

I think the mods are part of the fun of having a Bronco. They make it your own.

Perfect looking 2 door

Stock? Blasphemy!

If I want bone stock, I'll but back my old '63 vette.

Pretty minimal stuff for me. No performance, suspension, racks, bumpers, etc. on mine just a few accessories and bigger tires. I honestly plan to keep this one for just a few more years until there is something hybrid or electric to trade up to. Might be a truck TBH, could use a bed and towing at times.
