Just slap a HOSS 3.0 steering rack in it and call it done.I’ve had an old, early reservation and order for a 2 door sitting out there at granger for a long time. Wasn’t really expecting to see it come on and then ford decided to dump a bunch of orders on them, so now I have it. 2-door, badlands, sas. 3 years ago I had a lot of thoughts, ideas and plans for what would be but now everything is different.
At this pointy off roading is now, generally, beyond what I’d use a brand new vehicle for. It’s likely to get body damage and the fragility of the bronco IFS and steering rack is generally not something I’m interested in worrying about. I just don’t do much rec wheeling that you can use a shiny weekend warrior.
I think the only way I put the requisite money into the steering would be if I built an ultra4 racer out of it.
I don’t really need a daily, I have a super duty and a little fuel economy car.
so what do I do with it?
Those are rookie numbers.... I have put 75,000 miles on my 2 door; 50k in the first year alone. I picked up a 2nd Bronco so I can keep the mileage down on the first one.
Get rid of the little fuel economy car and daily the Bronco. Fuel savings might only be like $1k a year depending on how much you drive. I will gladly pay $1k a year to not drive a little fuel economy car.

Driving a battery car and powering it off solar allows me to do a lot more with other cars. The bronco isn’t any better a daily driver and costs a lot more than that to run annually.

How about sending all the people who have been waiting for 2 years a picture of it sitting in your garage doing nothing while telling them "it's worth the wait! Stay pumped"

For as good as it is on road compared to anything you’d cross shop, it’s a comfortable wheeler. If you like doing 6’s and down, or don’t care about body damage, stay pumped.

Try to get as close to this as possible:
go to ebay and buy cup holder inserts. Best Investment for these. Tired of my drinks moving all around

Actually, the high mileage ends next month... finally done putting down 1k miles plus per week.Sounds like your Ford Premium Care Extended warranty will expire about same time as your factory warranty

So when I load all my gear in the back I can have the saggy wet diaper look like all the old Toyotas? No thanks
Adding doors is an obvious solution that you seem to be avoiding so here are some other options:
Partner with Robert Downey Jr to convert to an EV Bronco.
Diesel conversion idea is cool. On that note, gut all of the electronics, and build a diesel, 5.0 coyote, hellcat, or LS1 Bronco and post on the internet for serious points.
Add additional weatherstripping to make water-tight, and sell tickets doing Bronco/Titanic tours.
Set on fire and run it in Gambler 500 or 24 hours of Lemons
Fill it with ducks (real or plastic) to hand out to other Broncos
Out of curiosity, if you are thinking of converting it to an Ultra 4 racer, what cares do you have about banging up the body panels or the steering rack? Wouldn't you be gutting/replacing anyway?
Also, I guess if you were going to do a Diesel Bros style raffle you could sell mystery packs that contain trading cards of different Bronco6g member profiles.
