I figured what I have put together thus far of my planned Bronco, and then get further opinions on my future planned vehicle mods.
So first and foremost my overall end goal is to have an all around off road rig that prefers doing high speed (ie a Raptor/Warthog build).
I started with a 2 Dr Black Diamond Reservation. After some thinking I jumped trains and I will be ordering the 4 Dr instead.
Engine choice: I'm leaning more towards the 2.7 now but I'm still flip-flopping about it due to the transmission choice.
Pretty much dead set on Area 51 as the color, and I won't be Sasquatching the Bronco.
So from here on is the list I have compiled so far of what I plan to do aftermarket:
Assuming the 2.3 Engine + 7 Speed:
Oil Catch Can - Must for the carbon build up
Intake Upgrade
Ford Performance Tune/Or Some other Aftermarket Tune (End Goal would be similar numbers to the current Ford Ranger Ford Performance Tune).
Assuming 2.7 Engine + 10 Speed:
Intake Upgrade
Mods Outside of the Engine/Transmission:
Wheels - Something with High Offset to give the Bronco a wider stance (https://www.discounttire.com/buy-wheels/black-rhino-pinatubo)
- These would be the wheels I'm planning to get (unfortunately they only come in 18's for the offset)
Tires - Based on the upgraded tires there is a large price discrepancy b/w the BFG KO2's and the General Grabber ATX, My question is will the KO2's be worth the price increase over the Grabber ATX's (Note this will be my Daily Driver as well as my weekend toy if it wasn't obvious yet)?
Suspension - Depending on the aftermarket and the quality of the stock system I might upgrade I might not. It might be something I upgrade through Ford Performance as well.
Grille - Looking for something reminiscent of the Bronco R (ie The grille from the Big Bend or Outer Banks).
I have also attached a visual picture taken from Interactive Garage for the wheels and tires to be seen on the Bronco. I originally found the wheels on Interactive Garage and then checked between the tires and wheel sizing to see what fit (17's do exist for this wheel but no one seems to carry a 6-lug with a -18 offset).
