My dealer is giving me the expensive mud flaps as part of the customer satisfaction program. Other than that, I’m waiting to get accessories until I get the free ford pass points. At that point, I’ll grab a Bimini top and maybe the cargo area cover. I’m scheduled for full Xpel stealth ppf the first week of December but that’s with an authorized Xpel installer. Depending on how late my delivery is, I might lose it for a week before I really get to drive it!
I got the Bimini top, cargo liner, sill plates, ditch lights, and console vault. The dealer accidentally installed rock lights instead of the ditch lights, so I ended up with both. Getting PPF tomorrow.
Because there's a massive difference between all terrains and real snow tires.
You are lucky you snagged those Hakkapeliittas when you did. Can’t find them anywhere. Discount Tire called their rep for me and “he said” that they won’t have any in the US until next November. We get a lot of snow here in UT (not at your level) but they do a great job plowing the roads so hoping the Territory’s hold up well. There’s always the handful of days every year driving some canyon road where the snow tires are worth their weight in gold - mostly trying to get on the slopes for a powder day.
I actually didn't. My Bronco won't be here until January and I won't be doing as much winter driving as usual this year so I'm skipping the winter rubber until next season.You are lucky you snagged those Hakkapeliittas when you did.

My mistake - another AK member posted in a different thread about getting those tires.
1) Only person who can’t get in the Bronco is my mother-in-law. I’m okay with that. No steps for me.Alright, got some questions for my fellow FE owners (and soon to be owners) and curious what if anything you will be doing/buying.
- Side steps/runners - I'm fine with the SAS height but the wife and kids are finding it a little much getting in and out of the Bronco. Other than not driving them anywhere (tempting as that is)...is anyone adding side steps, runners, etc? I've looked at the Ford options, Rhino RB20 boards or DSS (all needing removal of rock rails) or the single Stirrup steps from AR that mount to the rock rail. Is anyone planning to add something similar?
- Mud flaps - the Territorys throw rocks like a champ and some mud flaps seem required. There's the $50 Ford option that needs to be cut to work with the rock rails (and may not fit the rear bumper?), or the more expensive Gatorback flaps that work with rock rails. Any other Sasquatch option out yet?
- If I add runners or side steps will those alone protect enough against thrown rocks or are mud flaps also recommended? (And I suppose depending on which side steps/runners are added the rock rails come off and then the $50 mud flaps will work...)
- Roof rack - any solutions out there for this? Still waiting to talk to the parts guy at the dealer about the OEM rack.
- Tow hitch/package - same
- How are your supposed MIC 2.0 roofs holding up? My driver panel (shown below) is all honeycombed and can see a faint pattern developing on the passenger and rear section. I'm guessing I have a mix of 1.0 and 2.0 panels.
Are you putting PPF on the whole car or just the areas prone to chipping?
I don’t really want a roof rack but it’s the easiest way for me to haul skis around and the top is on all winter. Although with the rack up that high I’ll need side steps to reach it. I’m not a fan of the hitch mounted ski racks, too hard to park with that thing sticking out but I may have to resign myself to that option. The wiring harness would be helpful for brake lights on our cargo box.
Did you get the flaps with the Bronco lettering or the bucking Bronco?
I’m putting xpel PPF on the whole vehicle except the tailgate. I couldn’t think of a good reason to put it there, so I saved a few bucks.
