You want mudflaps to prevent the rocks from chipping your paint, since a portion of your tires protrude outside the wheel wells, unlike traditional automobiles. So even if you never go off road, you'll want flaps, rock sliders, or steps (or combination there of), for paint protection.
Great callout. Thank you. Got mudflaps you recommend?

Immediately upon getting my Bronco, I did a 2500 mile road trip, I bought what was available and at a reasonable cost, they serve their purpose, and I have no complaints....... with that being said I didn't research the best value, best available etc, I have nothing to compare them to, so I'll let others who researched give advise on which ones to get. But with the amount of pinging of rocks I hear hitting my flaps, I'm sure glad I got some immediately. One thing to consider is if you aren't going to get side steps/rock rails, you'll want long mud flags, they work in conjunction with each other.

First thing to go was the giant antenna. Got a 7ā€ stubby.

Next was getting rid of the cargo netting for some real storage pockets from @Mabett.

Last was this this upper tray, also from @Mabett. Thought I bought the upper and lower, so Iā€™m gonna have to fix that situation. Honestly, @Ford should have put these in every new build.

Next up is gonna be the @Quake LED trail sight deletes.

Whatā€™s another must have mod for me to go spend on?
Which antenna is that? Happy with reception? I don't use AM/FM much. Just wondering.

I donā€™t use the radio either. Just wanted something that wasnā€™t 30ā€ long flapping around. It was a $20-25 antenna. Didnā€™t shop for quality.

Disable the auto start stop is the first mod, after that the sky is the limit. Iā€™ve lost track of all my upgrades, but you only live once

I use that whip antenna as a curb feeler for the trails and parking garages when it hits I start to get nervous. LOL
a trickflate 300 air compressor and an air down kit, would be a nice thing to have, good for the beach trips.
got My Great Dane Bronco buddy for the dash
