I second the A/C seats comment from above. Aside from that, I keep waiting for the honeymoon period to wear off but it seems like it becomes more of a treat with each day I drive it.
I think the reason for NOT offering the A/C seats could be that these seats could get wet/muddy. My F150 has the A/C seats that I absolutely love, however to work the leather has bunches of holes to allow the airflow. I can only imagine what would happen if those holes got clogged or water was able to seep in to the seat mechanics. Just a thought IMO.

I love my Base-squatch. I've only got about 250 miles on it so far, but one thing I noticed was when taking my seatbelt off if I'm not careful, it will retract so fast it slams with a big bang. Not really a design flaw, but I'm not 100% sure how to fix the problem without putting some kind of ugly sound dampening material where it impacts.

Also since I don't have running boards installed yet, when I get out I have to be mindful of the lever for reclining the seat. It is located a little high and my butt cheek has caught it a couple times. I feel like I might break it if I catch it right lol.

I got my build date today so I'm expecting to receive my Bronco in July, but I was wondering for those that already had theirs what your biggest issue with the Bronco is. I'm admittedly a filthy offroading casual (I got the BB/midpackage and it's really just going to be my daily driver with occasional offroading) but I was thinking about what mods (mostly interior) I wanted to go for
Biggest complaint is wind noise with the MIC hardtop. I did the 3/4' pipe insulation on either side of the front roof sections. I saw a thread on here about someone using pipe insulation under the front roof panels above the windshield as well. I have to say that it is much quieter than my TJ with a soft top. I guess the other thing that is somewhat bothersome is the random "collision avoidance" notification - happened three times without any other vehicles around.

The stock exhaust is absolutely silent to the point that I can't hear weather the engine is running or not.

don't know if I've previously posted in this thread but I have absolute zero trust in the MIC top and even though mine lives in the garage and is rarely driven I can see it having issues down the road. I don't even want to remove it because of how fragile it seems.

the absurd location of the parking brake.
Yeah it's so close to the hood latch. Really not a smart move, easy for someone unfamiliar with the vehicle to accidentally unlatch the hood when applying it.

My biggest complaint is that the windows constantly "forget" to raise/lower and I have to do the Nintendo cheat code with the window switches to get them to function properly again. The passenger front happens literally every 10-12 open/close cycles and it's extremely aggravating :confused:
