I'll be keeping it stock"ish". I ordered a base model to save money and because I just don't value all the add-on stuff that you have to pay extra for but those stock 30" tires are just too tiny.

I already found a set of big bend take-offs and they're in my garage waiting for my bronco.

It should look like this minus the white letters, Cactus Grey 2-door,
Ford Bronco Keeping her semi stock anyone? 1639262382484


This would be a daily driver so I want to keep civilized and 32" A/T tires do that and fill out the fenders nicer than the 30" cheapo's.

Future mod's I know I want are:
- trailer hitch
- front amber fog lights drilled into the plastic bumper to look like they came with it
- midland micromobile radio
- tailgate table
- black rail to cover the pinch weld

Possible mod's:
- matte black bronco script, I don't know that I like them $85 worth??
- rock sliders/side rails, not for rocks but to keep other people from dinging the doors!
- mud flaps
- rear glass tint
- front tie-downs delete
- rear seats delete but that down the road once the kids are on they own.

Unless this thing turns out to be a lemon my intent is to keep it forever, even after gas is outlawed. Hopefully by then someone makes a retrofit hydrogen engine or electric powerplant that swaps in!

4 door Black Diamond.
Probably mud flaps for the front at least.
Then just a good antenna for a CB Radio and the radio itself.
(Yes, there are people that still use them.)

Other than stereo stuff that I've already done and a set of mud flaps once I can find a set that don't require a mortgage that work on a Badlands, I have no plans to modify my Bronco at all...

Not 100% sure yet. I have a 4 door BB coming in.
Thought about getting 33” A/T for it, but no sure I can swing that kind of cash right away.

I will probably add the script Bronco logo instead of keeping the Big Bend logo. Also will add the mesh top or the safari top.

In a world where I had more cash I would probably do a lift, 33’s, new rims, and maybe a winch.

Just going to add a set of 33's and a stubby antenna..... Nothing else is on my plan list for a few years.

From the beginning I thought the BL was the sweet spot for me. The only thing I was not happy about was the stock wheels that came with the BL. They looked like Wrangler wheels to me. But, I was determined to wait and not buy a single thing until I actually had a real Bronco to drive and get a feel for what It was really like on a day to day basis. After 250 miles on the odometer, I can say it is just plain Bad-Ass! It is bigger than pictures make it out to be.
Now, we went to Off-Roadeo back in September so we have been in and around and driven a two door BL Squatch and a 4 dr Wildtrack. But, that was a "whirlwind tour" if you will.
It just has this "presence" about it that is hard to explain. Every single person (there has been many in just three days) say's... Man, that's bad ass! I have had I don't know how many cars that I notice are pacing me, then look over and they are staring at the Bronco.
The wheels look great in person! DO NOT base any of your decisions about the Bronco on pictures. Everything about the Bronco 2 Dr BL, 2.3 7M is perfect in my opinion.
Our delivery experience was effortless, so far, we have had no problems!
If you are planning on keeping your Bronco stock for a while, don't worry, you won't be disappointed.

I know, I know, I just said "Don't base your decisions on pictures" But I just had to include some pictures of Bonny Jean.

Mechanically, stock all day. Aftermarket has nothing worth scrapping my warranty. I might get Skinny 35s after my 33s, but no lift on my badlands.

Aesthetically….
Getting adv fenders and maybe a Ursa Minor camper top.

Stock Bronco is awesome! Go to an off roadeo and see how capable stock broncos are. I know I was pleasantly surprised.

Hidden winch seems promising so maybe one of those or I’ll just throw a come-along in the trunk. Need more miles before I get that crazy with my rig.

This is supposed to be replacing the Cherokee that I daily drive and we tow behind the motorhome. I have ordered a non-SaS Badlands to keep the ride height kinda low so my wife can get in easier. Only thing I'll probably do is replace the rims...something polished aluminum and not black.

Of course, you never know what might happen after awhile. :ROFLMAO:

3rd row seats to fit the whole family. That’s about it for the first five years at least!
