All,

Like the rest of you, I’m making my Bronco mine by adding things here and there. I’ve added a few things but have tried to add products that were made here in the States. In a search for recovery gear, I was bummed out that GearAmerica and RhinoUSA were ironically both made in China. So I’m interested if you all have found any recovery gear (or any product really) that has been made here and that you like and/or support.

My hope is to start a list of Bronco accessories that are 1. Good 2. Made in America.

Thanks,
JP

So I’ll go first, I added ZROADZ steps/sliders and love them. They are very utilitarian, built solid, and we’re an easy install.

IAG is headquartered in my area (DMV) and while I haven’t bought anything yet, they’ll be getting my business when I add the struts. Archetype Racing is actually one of the companies I found that make shackles here in the states but MY LORD are they pricey…so much so, I just couldn’t get past it nor can I afford it, so kind of a moot point.

I have a list on my computer, but a bunch of my posts are getting scrubbed for "advertising" so I'm hesitant to post the list.
Yeah, there have been whole threads about this topic, but they seem to get taken down. Probably better to just ask about individual companies you’re thinking of dealing with as it comes up…

Well I hope this doesn’t get taken down. Recognizing noble intent and all.

Our company policy is to only offer HIGH quality Bronco accessories. While not every product we carry is made in America, most are. We look for smaller companies that are not in it just as a business, but enjoy the outdoors.

I’m not poo pooing other companies or other countries that make Bronco products. This all started because I couldn’t find a US-made steel or aluminum shackle. Ultimately, I did find AR
lol most of your Bronco’s parts came from China. Or Mexico. Or India. Just because it was put together in the US doesn’t make it American made.
Please don’t ruin the thread. I can only control what I buy now not where Ford chose to source their stuff.

We're aware.

But when it comes to accessories, I personally rather support a small/medium business located in America that makes at least SOME of their components in the USA.
A lot of small businesses use overseas manufacturing because they can’t afford to build it in the US. Why punish them?

I guess that's why it's called the Michigan ASSEMBLY Plant. So much of what we consume is made somewhere else. Ford used to be vertically integrated. That's no longer in vogue.

If you know of a good product that is made here in the states, please post…skip the sermons. I’m starting to realize why the admins take these threads down.

I've got a set of Diode Dynamics fog lights for my modular bumper on order. The product description says "engineered and assembled in the USA." I don't know if that qualifies for your list. They seem to be very high quality and sold by a 6g sponsor, 4x4TruckLEDs.com.
